How Can I Help People in Gaza?
That is why We ordained for the Children of Israel that whoever takes a life—unless as a punishment for murder or mischief in the land—it will be as if they killed all of humanity; and whoever saves a life, it will be as if they saved all of humanity.

No Safe Childhood
Shared by one of my contacts in Gaza. The cause of these horrendous living conditions? ISRAEL. Remember who and what is responsible for this living hell with every death, every pang of hunger, every untreated illness, and every expression of despair coming out of Gaza.
