This Saturday, take some time to donate to Spark Space! Spark Space is one of the few spaces that provides free internet and electricity to help students attend their studies, and allow remote workers to earn desperately needed income: chuffed.org/project/spar...

A yellow-gold square graphic. In the center is a circular photo of several people working at remote workstations with laptops and chargers. They’re in a building with lights, outlets, and cupboards. The image has an orange glow behind it. Around the image is the title, Spark Space, Gaza, decorated with illustrated plugs. The text below says, “We aim to create a safe, fully-equipped workspace with reliable electricity and fast internet, offering students and freelancers in Gaza the environment they need to continue their journey despite the hardships.” Below is the link https://chuffed.org/project/spark-space-gaza.

#Sednaya prison is not emptied YET! The 100s that we have seen being liberated are only the detainees of the "White prison", there is another underground "Red" one that rebels are failing to access. They say it's 3 floors under the ground & they can't reach it.

Israel violated the ceasefire agreement today, targeting Lebanese returning to homes on the southern border. You won't see reports of this in Western press, & if you do, it won't be reported as a violation but a justification in print for why soldiers opened fire to cease fire.
