#gaza

3 August 2025 Today, I have to do something a bit exciting. I'm going to a food distribution point for the first time, what I call the death lottery. I'm leaving in about 30 minutes. I've said goodbye to my family and hugged them all. You never know. Why risk walking toward your own death? It's not by choice. For many days now each of us has been living on a single pita bread and a bowl of lentil soup per day. That's it.

For more than 22 months, Israel has subjected Gaza to some of the most intensive bombing and siege ever inflicted on a civilian population. The group called on the U.S. government to halt funding for the Israeli military and for local elected officials to do their parts in ending U.S. material and political support for Israeli crimes, Ajluni said. They also called on media organizations to fulfill their public interest function by highlighting and challenging those directly and indirectly complicit in crimes against humanity in Palestine.

My family and I look into each other's eyes. We don't say a word, but our anguished faces are all asking the same question: Do we flee to the south, where bombardment and killing never cease - where death only comes slower? Or do we remain in Gaza City Governorate, just before the Netzarim checkpoint, which has also become home to everyone from Gaza's north - more than 1 million people - only to be erased quickly, because the occupation has already decided to wipe it out completely?

We are expecting Israel to officially issue its evacuation orders any time now. My beloved city, Gaza, stands on the brink of a full military occupation by the Israeli army.

"It is outlandish beyond belief that in the Trump administration's ongoing Israel-first policies and targeting of immigrants that they would then turn their attention to the most vulnerable children in the world," Zahra Billoo, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, San Francisco Bay Area office, told KQED.

More than 62,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israel in its nearly two-year genocidal war on Gaza, with the population suffering relentless bombardment.

The U.S. State Department announced a halt to all visitor visas for individuals from Gaza to review the procedures for granting medical-humanitarian visas.

The US state department announced it would stop issuing visas to children from Gaza in need of medical care due to pressure from Laura Loomer, a far-right influencer.

The US government halted all visitor visas for individuals from Gaza during a thorough review process of temporary medical-humanitarian visas recently issued.

For almost two years, Palestinians in Gaza have been documenting their experiences, highlighting their existence through various perspectives, from trained journalists to everyday citizens.

Democratic Whip Katherine Clark labeled Israel's offensive in Gaza as a genocide during a forum, urging action to address humanitarian crises occurring in the region.

We each have to continue to have an open heart about how ... how we take action to in time to make a difference, whether that is stopping the starvation and genocide and destruction of Gaza.

A banner which read "Stop killing children - Stop killing civilians" was displayed by UEFA before the Super Cup final between Tottenham and Paris St-Germain, emphasizing the impact of conflict on youth.

"Al Jazeera Media Network has condemned what it called a targeted assassination of its journalists. The Palestinian mission to the United Nations accused Israel of deliberately assassinating al-Sharif and Qreiqeh, describing them as among the last remaining journalists in Gaza."

"A two-state solution is humanity's best hope to break the cycle of violence in the Middle East and to bring an end to the conflict, suffering and starvation in Gaza," he told reporters in Canberra on Monday.
