I have found the names of more of the victims of the air strikes. Although there has been an announcement of a unilateral 'ceasefire', the amount of killings that occurred cannot be undone and we must remember those who lost their lives.
In yesterday's update, I mentioned the 11 beautiful angels who were killed. The NRC updated that one more girl was also amongst the children who died, she was only 10 and her name was Dima.
This little girl wrote this letter to her mum. She is alive Alhamdulillah but I wanted to bring attention to the traumas faced by the children of Palestine. ^^^
This happened yesterday ^
Also would like to bring attention to the Al-Qoulaq family. Wasim al-Qoulaq lost his grandmother, his grandfather, a brother, his sister-in-law and their 6-month-old baby, eight individuals from his family and his uncles and aunts.

Another massacre took place on Al Wehda street where at least 42 civilians were killed in air strikes that struck down 3 buildings full of civilians.

Please recite some prayers for all those who have died and their families. May they all be granted the highest rank in Heaven. May their families be granted strength and healing. May they revive justice. Ameen.
I also have some news from today. Throughout Palestine, many people were rejoicing the ceasefire today. Mosques were calling out the Eid Adhaan (Adhaan is the call to prayer for Muslims and the Eid Adhaan is an announcement for Eid, the holy religious festival for Muslims. This was called because many Palestinians were not able to celebrate Eid this year due to Israel's attacks in Gaza). There were fireworks and celebrations all over and protests for Palestine.
Lots of people were at Masjid ul Aqsa today, as Friday is the day of congregation in Islam where we offer Jummah prayer, and again, gathering to celebrate the ceasefire. There were sweets being distributed and people praying.
This was later disrupted by the Israeli occupied soldiers, who shot rubber coated steel bullets and stun grenades at innocent worshippers. Once again repeating what they did at the beginning of this month. That too, only hours after a ceasefire was announced, injuring many people who were there. They also detained young men leaving the mosque.
This is why so many of us are telling you guys this is not the end. The Israeli government will continue their crimes if international pressure does not sustain. We need to stop backing down just when there's the first sign of things getting better and follow through with our demands.
Free Palestine.
