In @issa-amro.bsky.social's own words 👇
“Raids, arrests and settler violence have increased, while international attention is focused elsewhere, leaving Palestinian communities more vulnerable to displacement and attacks.”“Israeli military is imposing restrictions on movement, and the closure of checkpoints makes everyday life extremely difficult.”

“Fuel, gas and essential goods are so limited, affecting hospitals, transportation and access to basic services.”“Families struggle without shelter, heating, or medical support, and economic hardship grows.”

“As these pressures mount, Palestinians continue to face threats to their safety, freedom, and dignity.”“The world must not forget us and must remember that we pay the price of a war we are not part of it.”
