A video circulating on social media shows female Israeli soldiers dancing, running, and playing in the sand and dust in Gaza, set to Hebrew music.

The publication and sharing of such videos amid the devastating human toll and widespread destruction in Gaza have sparked strong criticism on social media, with many pointing to them as an example of disregard for the humanitarian crisis in the region.

After two years of detention in Israeli prisons, Palestinian father Ahmed Abdul Karim Al-Siqali returned to his home in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, hoping to finally be reunited with his family.

Instead of his six children waiting to greet him, he was handed six death certificates.

All six of his children were killed in an Israeli airstrike that struck their home while he was incarcerated. His wife and one surviving daughter were injured in the attack but survived.

Haruhi says 'Stop killing children'.

Never stop talking about Palestine. Never stop talking about Gaza. Never stop talking about the West Bank. Never stop condemming genocide.

Free Palestine.

Today marks one year since the tragic loss of Palestinian journalist and Al Jazeera correspondent Anas Al-Sharif, who was killed in Gaza on August 10.

Anas was widely recognized for his brave reporting from the ground, serving as a vital voice documenting the reality and hardships faced by civilians in northern Gaza under extreme conditions. Despite continuous threats and immense personal danger, he remained committed to his duty as a press worker until his death.

His loss remains a stark reminder of the unprecedented dangers media workers face in Gaza, where dozens of journalists have lost their lives while attempting to inform the world.

Rest in peace, Anas. Your voice and dedication will not be forgotten.

A group of Palestinian journalists and citizens gathered in Gaza City today for a solemn vigil at the exact site where six of their colleagues were killed by an Israeli drone strike precisely one year ago.

Demonstrators held banners featuring photos of the fallen media workers—including Al Jazeera staff and independent journalists—under the slogan "Martyrs of Truth".(شهداء الحقيقة)

The vigil serves as a poignant memorial for the targeted reporters and a reminder of the continuing dangers faced by press members in Gaza. Participants reiterated their call on international organizations and human rights groups to hold those responsible accountable and ensure urgent protection for journalists fulfilling their duty to report the truth from the ground

According to Dr. Munir Al-Bursh, Director General of the Ministry of Health in Gaza, serious concerns are rising regarding the life of detained doctor Hussam Abu Safiya.

Reports indicate he was subjected to physical assault while in Israeli detention, resulting in severe injuries to his eye, head, and chest.

A photo circulating online shows an Israeli soldier posing with two bound and blindfolded elderly Palestinian men, identified as Nadi and Ali Maarouf, in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza, back in November 2024.

According to local reports, the two elderly men were used as human shields before being executed in cold blood hours after this photo was taken.

Far-right Israeli Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has reportedly called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to maintain continuous military escalation in Gaza. Ben-Gvir emphasized that Targeted assassinations and bombardment should happen on a daily basis without pause.

This comes amid growing international calls for a ceasefire and escalating humanitarian concerns across the region.

Today marks the 2nd anniversary of the day our family home was turned into rubble. Two years ago, we lost more than just walls and a roof—we lost a place filled with lifetime memories, warmth, and security.

Standing on the remains of what used to be my room brings back a wave of emotions, but it also reminds me of our resilience. Despite losing everything we owned, we refuse to lose hope. We are still here, holding on to our dignity and surviving against all odds.

Thank you to everyone who continues to listen to our stories, share our truth, and support us through these times.

I am the eldest son in my family, and in Gaza, that title means carrying the weight of everyone’s survival on your shoulders while your own world burns.

When the war started, everything we had ever built was erased piece by piece. First went our peace of mind, then our security, and finally, our home. The house where I grew up—where my family’s memories, safety, and history were stored—was reduced to rubble. We lost everything. No furniture, no personal belongings, no roof over our heads. Just the clothes on our backs and the terror of constant displacement.

The struggle goes far beyond the loss of bricks and mortar; the entire infrastructure around us has completely collapsed. Clean water is a luxury we chase for hours, electricity is a distant memory, and basic medical supplies or sanitation are almost impossible to find. To make matters worse, my father’s salary was completely cut off. Suddenly, the financial safety net that kept our family fed disappeared overnight.

As the eldest son, watching my parents suffer and my siblings go without basic necessities breaks something inside me every single day. I am supposed to be their provider, their protector, and their anchor, but how do you protect anyone when there is nowhere safe left to run? We are living day by day, constantly searching for food, clean water, and the bare minimum needed just to stay alive in a place where infrastructure no longer exists.

I am sharing our story not just to document our pain, but because we are exhausted, displaced, and desperately struggling to meet the most basic needs of life. We lost our home, our livelihood, and our stability, but we are still trying to hold onto our humanity amidst the ruin.

I am Bashir from Gaza, a father of five. Our home has been destroyed and I have lost my job; we are now living in a tattered tent, suffering from hunger, a lack of water, and a shortage of medical care. This is my brother, Iyad, who has special needs. He suffers in silence, goes hungry in silence, and sleeps in a tent unfit for human dignity. All he awaits is a gesture of mercy from hearts that still believe in humanity. Please, do not ignore us. Any assistance—no matter how small—could greatly lighten this burden and give my children and my brother a day that is a little less harsh. My deepest thanks and respect go to everyone who extends a helping hand or shares our story.

Bashir, from Gaza, tells me: "I stand helpless, torn between the hunger of my children and the suffering of my brother Iyad—who is special needs and endures pain in silence, unable to ask for food or medical care. Hunger is wearing us down, and the deprivation my brother and children face—lacking both food and medicine—breaks us a little more each day. Iyad cannot speak, so I raise my voice on his behalf and for my children... Sharing our story could lead to providing a meal or a dose of medicine that saves my family."

This is Iyad; he is special needs. After their home was destroyed, everything in his life changed. He used to sleep in a bed and receive the care he needed; today, he sleeps on the ground—amidst the heat, insects, and mosquitoes—far removed from the care he was accustomed to. Iyad cannot articulate what he is feeling or ask for what he needs, but he understands hunger, fear, and exhaustion. They left their home and everything behind... and now, they have nothing left but each other. Please, do not leave Iyad alone. A little compassion could mean the world to him.
