Materials submitted by soldiers’ friends confess that troops used kidnapped Palestinians, mostly elderly, as human shields on a daily basis. When injured or exhausted, the victims were instructed to walk into designated killing zones to be gunned down by other units.

🚨BREAKING🚨 An Israeli military court has rubberstamped another 6-month extension of Dr. Abu Safiya’s detention. This is not justice — it’s hostage-taking, weaponized through the courts. Dr. Abu Safiya is held as a bargaining chip, not a prisoner of law but of politics.

Today she came. Pale. Trembling. A young woman no older than twenty-five, clutching in her arms her son, her last living fragment of hope. The boy was limp, his little arms hanging as though life itself had slipped from them. His eyes were two dead stars. Behind her walked the grandmother. A grandmother who had already buried too many. Her face so worn that it seemed older than the land itself, older than grief. The mother spoke haltingly, every word torn from her throat like a piece of flesh. “Diarrhea. Five days,” she whispered, as if naming an unforgivable sin. “But what frightens me…” Her voice cracked. “He no longer eats.” “Since when?” I asked, though I was afraid to know. Ah, that silence. That silence was like a bell tolling for the dead. She looked at her mother, as though asking for permission to speak. Then, with a kind of resigned despair, she confessed: “For a long time.” I gave her medicine. A hollow gesture. A lie we tell ourselves so we do not collapse. She left without a word. But the grandmother stayed. She came closer. Each step was heavy, as if she were carrying not her own body but the body of every mother who ever lived. She leaned toward me and spoke with the voice of someone who has seen hell. “Do not ask her,” she said. “She cannot say it. The child stopped eating on the day he saw his father fall. He saw the blood. He saw the body. He saw everything.” Then she too left, and I was alone with the weight of the world. I am no psychologist. But I have seen the abyss in men’s hearts, and I know what it means when a child refuses life itself. This is not a disease of the stomach. This is the soul crying out: No more. Tell me, what happens to a child’s mind when the first god he ever knew, his father, is struck down before him? What happens when the one who was meant to shield him from death becomes death? The father’s blood was not the only thing spilled that day. The child’s faith was spilled with it. The world collapsed for him. There is no food sweet enough to make him want to taste life again. And this is the deepest cruelty of genocide. It is not the heap of corpses that marks its victory. It is not the smoking ruins. It is not the screams at night. Its triumph is when a living child sits in the dust and refuses the breast, refuses the bread, refuses the world itself. This child will grow, if he grows, with a hollow inside him no bread will ever fill. No embrace will ever close. He will learn to love with fear, to sleep with ghosts beside him. And one day, when he becomes a father, he will place into his child’s hands not only his love but also his terror. And this is how extermination stretches its fingers into the future. It kills not only the body but the capacity to live. Gaza is not merely a place under bombs. It is a factory of grief, a workshop of despair. What is being forged here is not just ruin. It is a generation of children who will one day walk the earth carrying death in their memories, in their dreams, in the way they touch the world. As I write this, my chest burns. My hands tremble. I feel as though my own heart is being gnawed from the inside by rats. If there is a God, and I dare still to believe, then He must be weeping over Gaza tonight. Yes, the father was killed. But the greater crime, the eternal crime, is this: the slow, unseen murder of the child’s soul. This is our apocalypse. Not fire from heaven. Not angels with trumpets. But a child sitting in the rubble, lips pressed shut, eyes empty, refusing to swallow the world’s cruelty. #GazaGenocide

Palestinian-British ER doctor Dr. Muhammad Mustafa, who has treated patients in Gaza since October 7, warns of a catastrophic health crisis: “A million children are being starved to death… a quarter of the population is in stage 5 famine, where four of every 10,000 children die each day.” At this stage, food alone isn’t enough – without doctors, medicine, and infrastructure, people die from refeeding syndrome and untreated wounds, he tells Breaking Points. He’s been pressing politicians from Ireland, Australia, and the UK to confront this reality and support urgent medical relief.

We just posted an interview @krystalball and I did with Dr Mo and my god. No words. Really a must listen. Please share this because @elonmusk makes it impossible to share links but if enough people share it sometimes it breaks through the suppression youtu.be/yqLCW7EjwyI?si=TVH2…

Children in famine can be saved from death or permanent organ damage with peanut paste supplements such as PlumpyNut. UN Under Sec-Gen for Humanitarian Affairs Tom Fletcher discussed the effect of Israel’s decision to declare it a “luxury” and ban it from Gaza as children starve.

I see many people outside of Gaza saying the flotillas are pointless. I'm here to tell you as a journalist from Gaza that all of us here feel a sense of hope from the 50 ships coming. We are waiting for you and if they stop you, at least you sacrificed and tried for our children

Release Dr. Abu Safiya now! #FreeDrHussamAbuSafiyaNow
During our successfully conducted visit today to Dr. Husam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, who was arrested in December 2024 and remains incarcerated in Israel, a serious and alarming picture emerged. Since his arrest, Dr. Abu Safiya has lost approximately 25 kilograms. He suffers from serious scabies and heart problems but is not receiving any medical treatment. It became clear during the visit that Dr. Abu Safiya has not been brought before a judge, investigated, or given any information about the reason for his arrest since March.
