Reports of explosion in #Balata#Nablus#Palestine Balata was established in 1950 to house 5000 Palestinian refugees. It's 0.25 km2/0.38sqm and now houses more than 32 000 people, in houses built upwards when the space ran out. It's also where I had the best falafel sandwich in my life. 🧆
The way Israel use these children as propaganda is worrying. I hope she will come home to her family. Hopefully Israel won't make her into a propaganda-object then, as they are now. We all need to remember children are held hostage. But propaganda isn't the way to do it. #ChildRights
Al Jazeera reporting, per Al-Shifa Director Muhammed Abu Salmiya, that all patients in the hospital's ICU are now dead.
I'm still laughing out loud from this. Unfortunately this is just a screenshot, but the poor IDF soldier is so confused. 😂
All intensive care patients at al-Shifa Hospital have died, according to the facility’s director: ‘We are left with nothing, no power, no food, no water. With every passing minute, we are losing a life. Overnight we lost 22 persons.’
Al-Shifa director says at least 22 people died overnight at the complex, and 55 in three days.

Whose lives are more important to you? Jewish or Palestinian? If you chose one - you're part of the problem. #Palestine#Israel#Gaza#GazaWar
