As someone with Palestinian heritage who is vocally against the destruction in #Palestine, I get an extraordinary number of pleas for help. All of them heartbreaking, and unfortunately, many of them are scams. There’s a lot of work tracking down which are legit. (I may do a post on how to research gfm pleas)

That said, I would like to introduce you to Nour and Nagham, doctors and sisters on the ground in #Gaza, who founded and lead the globally supported initiative, #PALHumanity. They have been distributing aid (primarily diapers, menstrual/hygiene kits and formula). Because they go to where people are sheltering, the IDF has almost killed them multiple times as they continue to shell schools.

If you want to donate to Palestinians who are making a difference, please consider supporting these sister doctors.

Moonrise last night. 2 evenings of a frustrating low cloudbank thwarted any shots prior to this one!

British journalist Richard Medhurst was arrested in Heathrow airport under the Schedule 12 Terrorism Act


Without being informed on the exact comments he allegedly made, Medhurst says he was informed that he uttered comments in supportive of a proscribed terrorist group and was held for 24 hours upon his arrival in London. He has stated that this appears to be an intimidation tactic designed to silence his work as a journalist.

Do you still use Google, or have you tried an alternative search engine?

I found these articles very helpful in understanding the different options out there.
I personally recommend Ecosia because it is a non-profit that plants trees

The situation is so dire that Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital is running out of bandages.

“And what that has meant is that a 13-year-old child who has 50 to 60 percent burns on his body was not able to get sufficient bandage changes for wound cleaning, which then resulted in him having blood poisoning and exhibiting signs of early sepsis. He’s in the ICU.”

Strikes are now relentless: the day starts with people checking if family & friends are still alive, & ends hoping they make it through the night.

Destruction on such staggering scale that minimal structures remain. With nowhere else to turn, displaced families live among rubble.

Jumaa Yagoub Suleiman, a 30-year-old community leader from Darfur, escaped the massacres in El Geneina last year, but even in Chad his life is constantly under threat from armed groups, and he is forced to change location regularly.
“It’s not safe here, they always contact us and send messages, they send people to Adré, searching for the community leaders. They tell me, ‘You escaped from El Geneina, but you’re not going to escape from Adré,’” Jumaa said.

In one of Pacific Woodtech’s proposed cutblocks in the upper Seymour, Petryshen found a heavily travelled wildlife trail and #caribou droppings.
“It’s core caribou habitat,” he said. “You don’t want disturbance in those areas.” #BritishColumbia #conservation
