„Fuel stocks in Gaza have almost run out in the four months since Israel last allowed any fuel to enter the enclave, leaving the entire humanitarian response at risk of imminent shutdown, United Nations officials said this week. Gaza hospitals warned Wednesday that they are once again on the brink of stopping services.“

„It's as if the whole weight of Israel's war in Gaza has fallen on Amr al-Hams. The 3-year-old has shrapnel in his brain from an Israeli strike on his family's tent. His pregnant mother was killed. His father is paralyzed by grief (…)
[D]octors don't have the supplies to treat his brain damage or help in his rehabilitation after a weekslong blockade and constant bombardment.‟

„The World Health Organisation (WHO) said on June 26 that it had delivered its first medical shipment into Gaza since March 2, adding though that the nine truckloads were “a drop in the ocean”.

„The June 25’s shipment of supplies, plasma and blood will be distributed among hospitals in the Palestinian territory in the coming days (…)

Israel imposed a total blockade on the Gaza Strip on March 2.“

Humans, Homo sapiens, humanity, we need no borders. Naturally. We evolved to walk wherever we liked. Together. In time.

The last few days, we've got to realize, we need #noborders

Or maybe the way to say it is, no borders in space but in time (remembering the King of Time #VelimirKhlebnikov)

This comes from a lovely piece on Khlebnikov by our own Chris Knight:-
'Khlebnikov’s fundamental political position was that the world should have no borders. That was partly due to his upbringing: the camels and horses in the camp where he grew up were not interested in borders. Throughout his life, he remained committed to the nomadic values of the Kalmyk people.

'But, although Khlebnikov hated territorial borders, he loved the idea of borders in time. He did not want fences, customs posts and certainly not trenches (remember this is going on during World War I, when people were fighting for a few yards of squelching, blood-stained mud). But what about borders in time? When people sing together, they must all keep to the same beat and sing each note together. Synchronising the voice means being aware of borders in time. Once the whole planet is singing, the only borders will be in the dimension of time. Natural rhythms, such as human heartbeats, the sun, the moon and the tides, would be used to set up these borders. He considered it vital not to transgress borders in time - they were needed if the world’s inhabitants were to get on with one another. By contrast, borders in space were in his eyes just bloodshed and murder.'

I haven’t eaten in a few days, and i need help paying my power bill and getting some of my cough medicine. This has made focusing on class and my thesis difficult.

Anything helps, thank you so much. It's quite dire. <3

Sabbah coordinates the Sameer Project with two other #Palestinians living in the diaspora - California-based Lena Dajani, who organises #MedicalAid, and an anonymous activist who runs the Instagram page, ‘Translating Falasteen’.

The trio have raised millions of dollars and coordinated with people on the ground in #Gaza to respond to requests for food, medicine and emergency aid via Whatsapp groups.

With a skeleton team and a strong web of contacts, the group is agile and flexible in their approach, able to adapt quickly to the daily flurry of requests.

„A top World Health Organization official deplored Monday that none of the agency's trucks with medical aid had been allowed to enter the Gaza Strip since Israel ended its blockade. For more than 11 weeks, "there has been no WHO trucks entering into Gaza for medical care support", the WHO's Eastern Mediterranean regional director Hanan Balkhy told a press conference in Geneva.“
