“Mama, boom! I hear it.”

"During the 100-plus-day siege of Jabaliya refugee camp that started in early October last year, Israel’s relentless bombardment and devastation forced families into unimaginable situations...

Dr. Israa Abu Rukba, a 30-year-old obstetrician and gynecologist, fought two parallel battles: one to provide vital health care at Al-Awda Hospital; the other to shield her daughter, Mariam, who was nine months old when the Israeli attacks began in October 2023, from the horrors of war..."

"The smell of death returns in Gaza..."

I don’t remember what day it is...

I don’t know what’s happening...

All I know is that I am now awake and the occupation’s missiles are shaking the ground..."

Today in Labor History March 16, 2003: Israeli Defense Forces murdered American activist Rachel Corrie in Rafah by running over her with a bulldozer during the 2nd Intifada. She had been defending a Palestinian home that the IDF was trying to demolish as part of their collective punishment of the Palestinian people. Corie was a member of the International Solidarity Movement. She had travelled to Rafah as part of her college's (Evergreen State, in Olympia, WA) senior-year independent-study project to connect Olympia and Rafah with each other as sister cities. Under Trump, her college would likely be stripped of federal funding for allowing such a project, and Corie, herself, might have been deemed a terrorist.

According to a January 2025 report, by the United Nations Office of Coordinated Human Affairs, 92% of all housing units in Gaza are now either destroyed, or severely damaged. 1.9 million of Gaza’s 2.1 million residents are internally displaced. And 345,000 face catastrophic food insecurity.
