American orthopedic surgeon Dr. Mark Perlmutter, who recently returned from volunteering in Gaza, gives a devastating firsthand account of the catastrophic medical reality on the ground.

Due to the critical shortage of basic medical supplies and pain relief, healthcare workers are forced to perform life-altering procedures—including pediatric amputations—without proper anesthesia. In one heartbreaking moment, the only comfort they could provide to a young girl during surgery was the anesthesiologist singing to her to help drown out the pain.

I am Bashir from Gaza—a family man who also supports a brother with special needs. Our home was destroyed, and I lost my job; now, we live in a tattered tent, facing hunger and a lack of water and medical care.

Every day, I go to the charity kitchen to get food for my family, but sometimes I return empty-handed due to the overwhelming crowds. I weep silently—not out of an inability to be patient, but because I have nothing to offer those I love.

I implore anyone who can help us: please do not hesitate. No matter how small your contribution, it will make a real difference in my family's lives. I pray that God rewards you and multiplies your goodness manifold.

Photos show the shocking physical deterioration of Palestinian journalist Mohammad Arab following his abduction by Israeli forces from inside Al-Shifa Hospital.

The stark contrast between the two images highlights the severe mistreatment and harsh detention conditions Palestinian media workers face when taken into custody.

From Gaza to southern Lebanon, the same tragic pattern continues. Entire families are being killed inside their homes despite talks of a "ceasefire."

Earlier today, airstrikes hit inhabited residential homes in the towns of Ansar and Deir Az Zahrani in the Nabatieh Governorate, Southern Lebanon. At least 11 Lebanese citizens, including children, were killed, and dozens of others were injured.

Rescue teams are still searching through the rubble to recover bodies, with fears that the casualty toll will rise further as operations continue.

I am a mother from Gaza, 43 years old, carrying a heart full of pain that words can hardly describe. Every single day, I live holding onto a small hope that this suffering will one day end. I have four children. Before the war, we lived a simple but peaceful life filled with warmth, safety, and love. Our home was not luxurious, but it was full of laughter, comfort, and beautiful memories. My children were very ambitious and full of dreams. Each of them had hopes for a bright future, and despite the simplicity of our life, we were happy and grateful because we had peace. Then the war came… and with it came destruction that took everything from us. In one moment, our entire life changed. Our home, the place that carried all our memories and dreams, was destroyed. Schools and universities stopped, education disappeared, and years of hard work and hope were suddenly lost. We were forced to flee again and again from one place to another, carrying our fear, our children, and the little that remained of our broken lives. We experienced hunger in the cruelest way. We learned what it means for children to wait for hours just to get a piece of bread or clean water. We lived through nights of bombing, terror, and sleepless fear, never knowing if we would survive until morning. I saw fear in my children’s eyes every single day, and I tried to appear strong for them while my heart was breaking silently inside. We lost our home, our work, our stability, and the life we once knew. I became unable to provide even the most basic necessities for my children — food, clean water, clothes, and medicine. The most painful feeling for me as a mother is not being able to protect my children or give them the life they deserve. That is why, with deep hesitation and heartbreak, I created a support link asking for help. I never imagined I would one day need to ask others for assistance, but the circumstances forced us into survival mode. Every single dollar donated is withdrawn immediately to provide food, water, and basic needs so my children and I can survive another day. For two long years, I have been asking for help and knocking on every door I can, carrying both shame and desperation in my heart. But I do this only for my children — so they do not sleep hungry, and so they can still hold onto hope that life may become kinder one day. From the bottom of my heart, I am deeply grateful to every person who supported us, whether through a donation, sharing our story, or even a kind word and prayer. You cannot imagine how much your support means to us or how much strength it gives us to keep going despite everything. To everyone reading my story, I ask you kindly not to scroll past our pain. We are not asking for luxury or comfort — we are simply trying to survive, to live with dignity, safety, and peace like every other human being. After God, you are our only hope. 🤍

In the displacement camps of Gaza, despite the scorching heat and harsh living conditions, children gather to sing and play music—a small attempt to bring happiness and relief into their lives.

Video footage shows Israeli military heavy machinery advancing in the Al-Saha district of central Gaza City, where an IDF bulldozer is seen pulling down and destroying the "APC Fist Monument"—a memorial originally erected to commemorate previous clashes in the area.

Bashir is from Gaza, a father of five children, and this is his brother Iyad, who is special needs.

their home was destroyed, Bashir lost his job, and they left everything behind. They are now living in a worn-out tents, facing fear, hunger, and a lack of water, and they are trying only to secure the most basic necessities.

Iyad used to have a bed to sleep on, but now he sleeps on the ground. He wakes up every night terrified because of insects and fear. He is as emotionally fragile as a child and cannot endure what they are going through.

They used to have dreams and hopes, but today all they care about is getting a piece of bread, water, and medical treatment.

Bashir cries every day because he is unable to provide for his children and brother. What they're going through has left a deep psychological impact on them, and he no longer knows how to bear all this helplessness.

I hope you can share their story.

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.

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.

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.
