Throughout the first five months of the war, both my big sister and my sister in law had been pregnant. They had to endure constant displacement and unspeakable horrors on top of pregnancy discomforts. The few times I was able to reach my sister, she would keep praying not to go into labor before that nightmarish reality ended.
Sadly, things did not go her way. The war was raging when she gave birth to beautiful baby Ossama, and it still is ongoing. Almost at the same time my brother and his wife had sweet baby twin girls, Ritaj and Rital. The three little angels are rocked to sleep by the sound of bombs and buzzing drones instead of lullabies. Due to the unsanitary conditions in their tent and formula scarcity, the newborns have been constantly suffering from acute respiratory infections as well as slow weight gain. The only medical care they were getting was that of an overcrowded field hospital with limited resources, and even that is now denied to them as my family has been forcibly evacuated again from Rafah to Khan Yunis where nothing is left but rubble.
As you may well know, many babies in Gaza are lost while waiting for consideration. The doctors previously insisted that the little ones would fail to thrive and fully recover if they stayed in the same unhealthy environment.
Despite everything, these babies are a source of hope and strength for us. Please don't let them fade away. My family is barely holding on for their sake and that of their older brothers and sisters.
We would be forever grateful for any kind of support.

What sort of world do we live in when weโre told to be grateful that the IOF has โonlyโ murdered 30,000+ civilians, โonlyโ injured over 80,000, โonlyโ starved 2.3 million people, โonlyโ destroyed 70%+ of infrastructure, โonlyโ destroyed the lives and dreams of 2.4 million Palestinians. A world where traumatising over a million children is justified.
A world where those that claim to value โhuman rightsโ will tell this father, and thousands of other Palestinian parents, that the lives of their children is a price that needs to be paid for โdemocracyโ and โfreedomโ. The irony. Itโs a society that does not value life. "pasted from linkedin profile"

So fun! :D /gen excited
Hmm... at this moment, my fav canon would have to be McMillan. Why he's my favorite? He's so gosh darn cute! He's also one of the kindest characters in the whole series and is so helpful to Ciel throughout the Public School arc :)
Though if I were to choose a more main character, I'd obvs choose Finnian for similar reasons I like McMillan. The big bro friend Ciel needed!
And the final touch: ๐ป

She waited for them for eleven years and lost them along with her husband in a moment, with feelings mixed with patience and oppression, after the occupation bombed a house east of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.
if the devil saw israel he would hand over his throne.
If you saw the photo of the child hanging in the rubble with her legs blown off, this is her.
Their names are Amouna and Suazanna Hasouna. May they rest in peace
Hello my friends, I am Ayman from Gaza. I have 6 children and my young child has an eye injury and needs an urgent operation. I hope to get your help to save my child in obtaining treatment. We have been displaced 7 times, and now we live in a tent and life is very difficult. I hope everyone will help me. In treating my son and saving my children, we deserve to live a decent and safe life. Please do not stop posting about us and helping us.
Mohammed struggled with his eye sight before the war and since the war has started, he has been struggling even more.
Hello my friend, please I need your help in donating or sharing my link. My son was injured in Gaza

Palestinian children in the Israel military detention system face physical and emotional abuse, with four out of five (86%) of them being beaten, and 69% strip-searched, according to new research by Save the Children. Nearly half (42%) are injured at the point of arrest, including gunshot wounds and broken bones. Some report violence of a sexual nature and some are transferred to court or between detention centres in small cages, the child rights organisation said.
Remember the 6 year old girl who was surrounded by Israeli tanks and the red crescent couldn't reach her? Her name is Hind Hamadeh. Here you can hear the phone call her 15 year old sister, Layan Hamadeh, made with the medics. She was killed exactly a moment later including all people in the car, except for 6 year old Hind who was stuck in the car with the dead bodies of her family, Israeli tanks and IDF surrounding her, shooting, preventing anybody to reach her.
That was last night (29.1.24). Today, still nothing. The fate of Hind remains unknown.
palestine red crescent ambulance team went to rescue her yesterday evening, but they have not returned as of now. We lost contact with them about 18 hours ago, and we still remain unaware of their fate and whether they succeeded in evacuating her or not.
Please, share Hind's story as much as you can on any platform. We need to know what happened to her. Put yourself in her place, how terrified she must be. Don't scroll past this.
This is Hind.
