40 minutes agoTears and grief': Mother's Day in Gaza marked by mourning
Mothers in Gaza mourn their lost children on Mother's Day, highlighting the devastating impact of war on families.
I wanted to expand the activities I do with children beyond drawing and colouring. I searched online and discovered that yoga can help children recover from trauma, al-Gharbawi told Al Jazeera. Since yoga isn't widely available here in Gaza, I decided to learn online and practice it with the children. Through yoga, they can release stress and cope with the difficult life around them.
Israeli air strikes killed at least two Palestinians in Gaza on the third day of Ramadan in the latest breach of the truce deal signed with Hamas more than four months ago. The attacks on Saturday occurred in northern Gaza's Jabalia camp and the Qizan an-Najjar area in southern Gaza. The total death toll from Israel's attacks since the ceasefire came into effect has risen to 614, with 1,640 more Palestinians wounded, according to the Palestinian news agency Wafa.
One month after the ceremonial signing of the Charter of theBoard of Peace in Davos, Switzerland, Trumphas invited all its members to Washington, DC, to attend its inaugural meeting. The agenda for Thursday, February 19, is expected to focus on the future of the Gaza Strip beyond the current fragile ceasefire between Hamas and Israel. A key point is raising funds for the reconstruction of Gaza and providing humanitarian aid.
Generators are now seen as the heartbeat of every hospital here [in Gaza] as they power ventilators, incubators, surgical theatres and dialysis machines. But now these lifelines are breaking down, said Abu Azzoum, with the lives of many critically ill patients in the intensive care unit hanging in the balance. The hospital lacks the fuel and essential spare parts needed to keep the generators going, Abu Azzoum added.
Israel has returned dozens of Palestinian bodies and human remains to Gaza without providing any information about their identities or how they were killed, according to Palestinian medical officials. The remains arrived at al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City on Wednesday in plain white bags and are now being examined by forensic teams in an effort to identify them and provide answers to grieving families.
The war began the week of my 26th birthday. There was a lightness on that day, something born from what remained of our childhood. Sparks like candy, crackling in our mouths: colorful letters; laughter leaking out through voice notes; hearts adorning our text chats; an abundance of cake. But the days that followed are laid out like burnt matchsticks; once the first one was lit, the flames consumed the rest. The war spared nothing on the calendar; I have had no other birthdays since.
If peacefully demonstrating with an Israeli flag against a terrorist organisation seizing humanitarian aid, diverting it, and reselling it at exorbitant prices to Gazans is a crime -- then there is no need to look down on the mullahs, France is Iran!
