Mahmoud’s campaign is very urgent.

He has been fundraising for months and has only raised €2,939 out of €30,000.

Donations on his campaign are moving very slowly, and have been slow for months. If you give to anyone today, please give to Mahmoud! 🚨

'Today I found my son's head, ten days after finding his body.

I am now carrying it to his grave, my heart pounding with joy.

Today I can give him a complete death.

Today I can weep for him as I should.' -yarajamal._ ig post #AltTextPalestine #Alt4You

🧵1/ I am somewhat dismayed (though sadly unsurprised) by this extremely disingenuous and callous reporting about Palestinian death figures. Claims that the UN have revised down its death toll are absolutely untrue but have been repeated by right wing outlets but also the CFR 🤔

OCHA didn't report a dramatic decrease in the casualty figures of women and children, it just now only reports identified victims.
