Save one life, save the whole world

My name is Muhammad Ibrahim. I work as a high school teacher. I am a strong father from Gaza. I have three princesses from my children. I mentioned that I am strong because I try to provide happiness and protection for my family in the midst of sadness and death, and I am looking to shed light in the darkness. I am strong. I do not want to show weakness to my children, but to be honest I have no idea how strong I can pretend to be. I'm not strong. I'm sad, broken, devastated, and terrified at the thought of losing someone in my family.

Since the first hour of October, we have been displaced 6 times. It is a terrifying thing. When you see the planes dropping leaflets on us asking us to evacuate the area, you are asked to evacuate within a specific time. At this time, you are unable to think about what you want to do, and where we will go. While preparing the necessary bags, shells and missiles are raining down on us. Bullets from airplanes. At this moment, you can only escape and save your life and the lives of your children

After more than 300 days of resisting the heinous genocide, my family and I are working to support ourselves through community relief and mutual assistance efforts that stopped three months ago due to the occupation taking control and occupying the city of Rafah.

With the constant risk of death due to malnutrition, dehydration and pollution, diseases are increasing day by day. Like all residents of Gaza, we depend on donations to purchase the goods and services necessary to keep us alive, heal and recover.

One dollar could make a difference in my life. Your skip could cost us a life

Let me tell you about living in the camp, it is like a prison, and even worse, there is no fresh air to breathe, no clean water for daily use and of course to drink, no electricity and no healthy food, only infectious diseases, skin rashes, insects and scorpions.

There is no privacy as the tents are close together, and no quiet, only shelters between you and your neighbors. I stand in long lines under the hot sun for water, for bread, for hospice (food distributed to the displaced in the camp) and even for bathrooms. Public.

More than 300 days of targeted attacks and genocidal tactics have deliberately destroyed life's infrastructure: energy sources, desalination plants, bakeries, factories, hospitals, schools, sewage systems, roads, farmland, homes, my home, and my workplace. Everything has already become a terrifying ghost town

The Gaza Strip has become an uninhabitable biological zone, due to tens of thousands of decaying martyrs who are still crushed under the rubble. The beach is full of sewage and pollution, the health care system has been destroyed, and facilities and agricultural lands have been bombed. We are in a miserable situation, with the outbreak of hepatitis. Polio and other diseases, famine, pollution and constant bombing

My three children, my wife, my mother, and my father need care, and because I am the only person in the family who goes to get water and food, which is considered a huge burden on me, especially since there is no safe place there. I have always been exposed to the risk of death due to sudden bombing and miraculously survived. Therefore, my family and I want to leave Gaza. So that I can protect my children and save our lives, as they need to study, health care, and start a decent life. They have the right to live like all the children of this world, so I want your help in donating so that I can help my family. Since each person needs $5,000 to go out, I need a large amount to be able to travel, so I hope to reach the amount as quickly as possible so that I can get the children back to playing as they used to while studying

[intersectionalpraxis]

I want to be clear that severely cutting off humanitarian aid to any civilian population around the world because a resistance group -which has been labelled a terrorist organization by an occupational force and its' imperial supporters of mass genocide -because this said 'terrorist' group had members allegedly 'apart' of the October 7th, 2023 attack... is a form of COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT.

Denying basic necessities to Palestinian people -from the lack to inadequate access to food, water, medical supplies and treatment, electricity and fuel for months now -has already been/remains a crime against humanity that the IOF has rampantly been committing.

The UNRWA is supposed to provide health care, relief and social services -and involves itself in emergency responses during times of crisis, and so much more... so by cutting funds because of what I mentioned above, you're effectively saying ALL Palestinian people are terrorists who must be punished when they have done NOTHING. And any person who reduces this to a mere 'coincidence,' you are surely missing the point here.

Occupational Therapist NDIS Approved

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) was introduced in Australia in 2016 to provide people with disabilities the opportunity to choose and access the support they need. The aim is to provide participants with the freedom and choice to manage their own care and build a better life, with a focus on increasing self-esteem and achieving their individual goals.

Occupational Therapy NDIS Approved

As an occupational therapist NDIS approved, your role is to help people with all types of disabilities participate in everyday activities such as cooking, dressing and playing sports. This can involve recommending assistive technology and home modifications that can improve an individual’s quality of life. Occupational therapy can also increase an individual’s social engagement and improve their overall health and wellbeing.

OT Services for NDIS

The first step to receiving NDIS funding is to complete an application form. This will require a person to provide their medical history and how their disability is impinging on their life. This will then be reviewed by an NDIS assessor to determine if the person is eligible for funding.

Once a person has been approved for NDIS funding, the next step is to arrange an assessment with an occupational therapist. Once an assessment has been completed, the therapist will be able to identify any areas where support is needed and develop an intervention plan that will address those needs.

Occupational therapy is an effective tool to reduce the impact of your disability on your daily life and help you enjoy a more independent lifestyle. It can also be used to enhance your confidence, and help you to overcome challenges in your daily routine.

How Occupational Therapy Improves Your Life

Using the skills of an occupational therapist can increase your independence, reduce stress and boost your energy levels. They can also teach you to use medical devices safely and how to cook meals at home, so you don’t have to depend on others.

Your OT can also recommend home modifications that will improve your safety, including removing rugs and curtains or installing grab bars. They can also offer advice on how to use wheelchairs and other mobility aids.

A good OT can also recommend exercise programs, which can help to improve strength and flexibility. These exercises can be done at home and may also include exercises to enhance coordination.

Some OTs also provide online exercises, which can complement their sessions with clients. This can be helpful for people who may not have the time to travel to a local clinic or who are unable to take advantage of NDIS services in their area.

If you are interested in learning more about how occupational therapists can help your life, get in touch with us and we can schedule an appointment for you to meet one of our occupational therapists. We can also discuss any questions you may have about the OT services we offer and how to get them funded through your NDIS plan.

What Is an Occupational Therapy Assessment?

Premium Disability Support Services is an NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) Service Provider based in Melbourne. We provide disability support services all across Melbourne. We support all individuals with disabilities to develop the skills and capabilities that they require to achieve independence and participate in society.

Displacement Diaries [2]:

🚨Dangerous

The lack of hygiene supplies threatens my family’s life

The impact of war on hygiene and the spread of diseases: The war on Gaza has not only destroyed buildings and infrastructure but also targeted essential services that directly affect people’s lives, including clean water and sanitation systems. The Israeli occupation, by deliberately targeting these vital services, contributes to the increased spread of diseases and epidemics. The absence of basic hygiene supplies such as soap, disinfectants, and clean drinking water leads to an unhealthy environment, causing diseases to spread quickly, especially among children and the elderly. In this context, maintaining hygiene becomes nearly impossible in the absence of basic resources, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.

My family’s suffering due to the lack of hygiene supplies: For my family, consisting of 11 members and currently living in a tent after repeated displacement, the severe shortage of hygiene supplies has made things more difficult. Both children and adults are at risk of diseases due to the inability to maintain daily cleanliness, especially as we are crowded into one small space. Even clean water has become limited, which adds to our suffering. Sadly, every time we try to meet our hygiene needs, we are faced with the harsh reality of exorbitant prices and a lack of essential supplies.

Our basic needs: Under these harsh conditions, our need for hygiene supplies such as soap, disinfectants, clean water, and sanitary products, as well as basic child care items like diapers and milk for my little son Omar, increases. Unfortunately, providing these items has become impossible given the skyrocketing prices and lack of aid, putting the health of all my family members at increasing risk day by day. Children, in particular, are highly vulnerable to skin diseases and epidemics due to the lack of a clean and healthy environment.

A call for help: In the face of this difficult humanitarian situation, we turn to kind-hearted people and anyone who has the ability to help to contribute to providing the necessary hygiene supplies for my family and other families suffering like us. Your donations will help protect the health of children, women, and the elderly who are facing the daily risk of disease. Saving a child's life could start with a bar of soap, and protecting a family from epidemics could be achieved by providing disinfectants or clean water. Do not let this plea go unanswered; every bit of help makes a big difference.

Notes:

We would like to draw your attention to our suffering due to the lack of hygiene supplies and clean water, as well as their high prices, which put the health of my family and other families at risk of diseases. Your support in providing these essential needs can help protect the lives of children and the elderly. Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a big difference. Thank you for your support.

The campaign is documented by @nabulsi @el-shab-hussein @90-ghost.

itch.io is doing a bundle of games for $10 in support of gaza !

"In response to the ongoing crisis in Gaza and occupied Palestine, we're creating this bundle to raise funds for the organization Medical Aid For Palestinians. From the organization's website: "MAP's vision is a future where all Palestinians can access an effective, sustainable and locally-led system of healthcare, and the full realisation of their rights to health and dignity. Through our programmes in the West Bank, Gaza, East Jerusalem, and Lebanon, we work with trusted and experienced local partners to achieve this vision. Our programmes, designed and delivered by Palestinians, provide access to essential health services and build local knowledge and skills to address Palestinian health problems. In times of humanitarian emergency, we are ready to respond rapidly with aid and assistance. MAP is also committed to bearing witness to the injustices caused by occupation, displacement and conflict. We speak out in the UK and internationally, and ensure Palestinian voices are heard at the highest levels, to press for the political and social barriers to Palestinian health and dignity to be addressed." This bundle will run for two weeks, from October 26th-November 9th, 2023." (bolded emphasis mine)

Jabalia Rehabilitation Society is the only institution in the northern Gaza Strip that provides services to a large group of people with disabilities, especially those with hearing disabilities. It is considered a center for health, psychological and educational support in Jabalia camp that is no less important than government institutions. It is considered one of the contributing and supporting institutions alongside the government health and educational centers in the camp and shares the burden and community services with those centers.

Since the beginning of the war on Gaza on October 7, the institution has been a center for sheltering thousands of displaced civilians, especially those with disabilities and their families who benefit from the institution's services. However, after the Israeli occupation forces entered Jabalia camp for the second time in the war on May 12, they destroyed and burned all the buildings and facilities of the association after it had been a shelter for thousands of displaced people.

Horrific scenes emerge from the new massacre carried out by the occupation, in which IOF warplanes targeted displaced people taking shelter inside Al-Zaytoun "C" School in Gaza City, in the northern #Gaza Strip. At least 17 martyrs mostly women and children have ascended so far, including a fetus in his mother's womb (video). Glory to the martyrs.

The IOF also opened fire on ambulance teams north of Rafah City in the southern Gaza Strip.

Palestinian Ministry of Health: Preliminary... 5 workers from the Ministry of Health have been martyred and others injured as a result of the targeting of the Ministry's warehouses in the Musbah area in the southern Gaza Strip a short while ago. Ambulance crews are unable to reach the location to recover the martyrs and assist the wounded. The Ministry of Health calls on all international organizations and concerned authorities to intervene in order to protect and save the injured from the area. Palestinian Ministry of Health September 21, 2024

Government Media Office, Gaza:

The "israeli" occupation army committed a horrific and brutal massacre by bombing Al-Zaytoun "C" School in Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, south of Gaza City. This brutal massacre claimed the lives of 21 martyrs so far, including 13 children, 6 women, and a 3-month-old fetus. Additionally, this crime resulted in 30 injuries, 9 of which were children who had limbs amputated, while the remaining injuries were severe burns. Moreover, 2 individuals are still missing. This horrific massacre, committed by the occupation, is part of the genocide being carried out by the "israeli" occupation. The number of displacement and shelter centers bombed by the occupation has reached 181. This crime comes amid the dire health situation in Gaza and northern governorates, home to 700,000 people. The remaining hospitals in these two areas are unable to provide adequate healthcare services due to the occupation's destructive plan to completely dismantle the health system. We condemn the "israeli" occupation for committing this horrific massacre and the ongoing massacres against civilians, children, and women. We call on all countries of the world to denounce these continuous crimes against displaced persons and civilians. We hold the "israeli" occupation and the U.S. administration fully responsible for the ongoing genocide war and the continuation of these massacres against civilians in the Gaza Strip. We also hold them accountable for the targeting and bombing of shelters and schools. We call on the international community and all global and international organizations to pressure the occupation to stop the genocide war and halt the waterfall of blood in the Gaza Strip.

[hadeelhamdi66]

I am Hadeel Shamlakh, 27 years old. I studied at the Islamic University, majoring in social service. I am married to Omar Ziyara and I have a child named Nimer, who is one year and two months old. I was displaced from the north of Gaza to the south due to the occupation and war. I live in a room with three families. I lost my father, the martyr Hamdi Shamlakh, in this war, and my sisters became orphans. Now my mother has no source of income to support me and the rest of the families living with me in the room. I also lost my cousins and friends. I lost my family, the Shamlakh family, 120 martyrs. I lost my home, and my family also lost their home. I lost my university, my dreams, my land, and my money. In short, I lost everything I own in life. There is nothing I can do. I created the support and donation link gofund.me to help myself, my child, and my family to live safely, to provide for our daily needs of food, drink, and clothing. I also provide my child with his needs of food, milk, diapers, vitamins, and health supplements because he suffers from malnutrition. I need Ventolin sprays and medications every week because I suffer from asthma. I suffer from pollution, lack of healthy food, and unhealthy water in the war. Because of the missile remnants, I can't breathe well and I get sick every day. Therefore, in order to live safely, I plan to travel to a country that will protect me and my

family. Therefore, help me by donating to me and don't be stingy with me, even with one dollar. The Messenger (PBUH) said, "Donate even half a date." I hope that you will share the story with everyone and support me with the link in the bio or in the CV above the Instagram

THURSDAY HERO: Tadeusz Pankiewicz

Tadeusz Pankiewicz was a Polish pharmacist who helped the starving, suffering Jewish residents of the Krakow ghetto by providing them with medicine, food, and other lifesaving supplies.

Born in Sambor, Poland in 1908, Tadeusz studied at the prestigious Jagiellonian University in Krakow. In 1933 he took over the family business: a small pharmacy called Under the Eagle. Germany invaded Poland in 1939, but Tadeusz’s quiet life and successful small business were mostly unaffected, until 1941, when the Nazis forced the city’s 15,000 Jews into a ghetto.

Tadeusz’s pharmacy happened to be within the ghetto’s borders. The Nazis shut down other businesses and essential services in the ghetto to make it impossible for Jews to get food and other necessities, but Tadeusz refused to close his store. He bribed the Gestapo, using his own savings, to keep Under the Eagle open. Tadeusz was inspired by his Catholic faith to stay and help people however he could.

Conditions in the ghetto were horrific. There was never enough food, and every day residents died of starvation or illness; others were shot in the street by Nazi soldiers. Medicine of any kind was almost impossible to obtain, except from Tadeusz, who provided health care and pharmaceuticals for free to residents of the ghetto. He also provided them with lifesaving products such as hair dye to disguise their identity and tranquilizers to keep children quiet during Gestapo raids.

Tadeusz’s pharmacy became the go-to place for Jews to meet, plan underground activities and acts of defiance, and get lifesaving care and equipment. Tadeusz and his pharmacy employees Irena Drozdzikowska, Helena Krywaniuk, and Aurelia Danek put their lives at significant risk to help the Jews of the Krakow ghetto. Besides medicine, supplies and a safe place to meet, the brave pharmacist and his staff shared their meager wartime food rations, and hid Jews on the property during deportations. They were able to smuggle some Jews out of the ghetto and take them to hiding places where they would be safe.

Tadeusz actually befriended German soldiers to get information from them! He got them drunk and cleverly manipulated them into telling him about planned actions against Jews so he could warn them. Another service Tadeusz to the Jews trapped in the ghetto was acting as intermediary between them and the Poles with whom they left their valuables.

Among the people who met in secret in the pharmacy were prominent figures such as writer Mordechai Gebirtig and artist Abraham Neumann, who were tragically shot by the Germans in the ghetto in the infamous Bloody Thursday of June 4, 1942. Julian Aleksandrowicz survived the war to become a doctor and medical professor who specialized in the treatment of leukemia. Dr Abraham Mirowski, another Jew saved by Tadeuszm later said that the kind pharmacist was “living among us, was continuously exposed to dangers, but it did not make him scared. He was full of sympathy for our tragedy and wanted to help us with all his heart. Each death of a man or a woman was a traumatic experience for him.”

After the war, Tadeusz stayed in Krakow and, in 1947, he published his memoirs of life under German occupation. He continued working as a pharmacist. In 1957, some of the Jews he’d saved brought him for a visit to Israel as their guest. Tadeusz was honored as Righteous Among the Nations by Israeli Holocaust Memorial Yad Vashem in 1983.

Tadeusz Pankiewicz died in Krakow in 1993. His pharmacy is now a museum about the history of the Jews of Krakow, with special focus on the ghetto years. Tadeusz and his brave staff are also a featured museum exhibit.

For helping Jews in the Krakow ghetto, we honor Tadeusz Pankiewicz as this week’s Thursday Hero.

GENEVA (17 October 2023) – Continuing violent displacement and threats of further attacks on the besieged Gaza Strip pose a major public health risk and emergency, a UN expert said today after at least 12 health workers were killed and 24 Gazan health facilities were affected since the escalation of violence in the region.

“All parties to the conflict and their international partners must ensure swift and unimpeded access to essential humanitarian supplies, including food, water and medicine, fuel, and electricity,” said Tlaleng Mofokeng, the UN Special Rapporteur on the right to health. “Gaza’s medical infrastructure has been irreparably damaged and healthcare providers are working in a dire situation with limited access to medical supplies and conditions that do not allow them to provide timely and quality healthcare,” Mofokeng said.

“Humanitarian workers, physicians, civil society, human rights organisations and journalists continue to work in the region while under bombardment themselves,” the expert said.

The World Health Organization has documented more than 111 attacks on health care services in the occupied Palestinian territory, including 48 attacks on the Gaza Strip which resulted in the death of at least 12 health workers.

Mofokeng said that Israel was preventing the entry of essential supplies into Gaza, including food, water, fuel, medicines, medical disposables and equipment. “The Gaza Strip is experiencing continuous bombardment and massive devastation,” she said. “The health sector in the enclave is at a breaking point.”

Mofokeng called on the international community to intervene immediately to prevent the escalation of conflict and protect and respect the right to health of all, by demanding access through humanitarian corridors, protection of the healthcare infrastructure and health workers. Palestinian families require urgent supplies of food, water, shelter, fuel, emergency health care, psychosocial support and psychological first aid, the expert said.

The latest escalation and display of aggression in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territory must not be de-contextualized, the expert urged. It represents a crushing moment of ongoing gross structural, systemic and sustained violence experienced by Palestinians every day since the occupation, she said. “I call for an immediate ceasefire and for Member States to stop beating the drums of war,” Mofokeng said.

“The Palestinian people have been displaced for more than 75 years. The occupied Palestinian territory has been under military occupation for more than 56 years – an occupation entailing a lack of accountability, ongoing displacement and demolition, movement restrictions, and systematic racial discrimination,” she said.

The Special Rapporteur recalled that UN Member States had reaffirmed their commitment to upholding the sovereign equality of all States and respect for their territorial integrity and political independence, recognising 2019 to 2028 as the “Nelson Mandela Decade of Peace.” The declaration supports a comprehensive approach to sustaining peace by preventing conflict and addressing its root causes, she said.

“Steps to realising the right to self-determination of Palestinians is linked to their dignity and sovereignty,” Mofokeng said. “You cannot extinguish the human desire for freedom.”
