Greetings from my new home, Luxembourg ๐ฑ๐บ๐ Made little posters to help explain the IB Learner profiles at school. Often use Keithโs work in the art room as it is so accessible #iteachart #internationalteaching #keithharing @ISLuxembourg

"To walk safely in Gaza, stay away from cars because they might be targeted, and avoid buildings because they could be bombed. Donโt head west toward the sea because gunboats may open fire. Donโt move too far north, east, or south either, those are yellow areas [occupied by the Israeli military], meaning certain death. Donโt look up at the sky, there are quadcopters watching. Donโt dig into the ground, they might think youโre digging tunnels or preparing an attack.
So whatโs left? Where are we supposed to go?" - Israa Ar-Ramly, Palestinian journalist in Gaza.

I tell myself every day: Donโt die. Donโt get tired.
Check on the children. Look for water. Check if there are any holes in the tent so the water doesnโt leak in. Then stand upโdonโt die.
Donโt you dare die from some silly illness. Resist. Save your tears for a more painful day. Donโt you dare say, โIโm tired.โ
Look for food. Donโt be afraid of the bombing. Gather your things and flee. Set up a tent. Flee againโdonโt get tired.
Write, and then write, and then write. Write your own death with your own handsโdonโt let anyone write about you.
Live, and donโt die.

Israeli lawyer Ben Marmarelli says Palestinian prisoners he represents beg him not to visit because they're raped each time he is due to meet them.
This is a scene from Al Jazeera's shocking new documentary on Israel's systematic use of rape.

As a Palestinian you can't file a police complaint or go to court,
If you turn to the West for help, they'll call on Israel to investigate itself.
If you take matters into your own hand, you'll be condemned as a terrorist. And if you speak up you'll be called an antisemite

Yesterday Israel killed an 8 year old boy in Gaza wearing a backpack on the way home from school.
His name was Jad.
The only reason western mainstream news outlets didnโt report on his killing is because heโs Palestinian.

๐จBREAKING: CNN revisits Palestinian child Habiba Al-Askari, who was evacuated from Gaza to Jordan for urgent medical treatment after being left a triple amputee.
Her story highlights the fate of thousands of children in Gaza who remain at risk as access to timely evacuation and life-saving care continues to be severely limited amid the ongoing Israeli Genocide.
๐จBreaking: Palestinian child Habiba Al-Askari, evacuated to Jordan for treatment two days ago, is set to undergo the amputation of her leg and both arms tomorrow.
Her condition worsened due to delays in evacuation amidst Israelโs genocidal war on Gaza.
Thousands of sick and injured children face similar fates as Israel continues to block their access to life-saving treatment outside Gaza.

'The soldier was about ten meters away from me. He saw me, he saw my wife and the children. The car windows were not dark, it was daylight and everything was clear. You can't say he didn't see that it was a family'
Father of Palestinian baby shot dead by IDF: I stopped, then they opened fire haaretz.com/west-bank/2026-0โฆ

The โuninvolved civilianโ they shot at was a SEVEN MONTH OLD BABY.
His name was Sam Fahd Abou Haikal.
Earlier today, during operational activity in the area of Hebron, IDF soldiers perceived a vehicle accelerating toward them.
An IDF soldier responded with single shots toward the vehicle. As a result, three Palestinians were injured and evacuated for medical treatment.
An initial inquiry found that those injured were uninvolved civilians. The incident is under review, and the findings will be submitted for review by the relevant authorities.
The IDF expresses deep sorrow for any harm caused to uninvolved individuals.

WowโฆI had no idea..
UNRWA smuggled the Palestinian memory archive from its headquarters in Gaza, meaning the record of every Palestinian who became a refugee after the 1948 Nakba, to preserve their legitimate right to return and compensation in the event of a settlement..
@Rana_Sabbagh has the full story

There was a marathon in Gaza today with almost 2000 people participating. Look at the smile on the face of the runner in his wheelchair ๐ฅน

3D-printed technology is being used to help Palestinian children who were injured in Israeli attacks on Gaza but their treatment is at risk due to Israeli restrictions on supplies and aid organisations.
