In just one month 4104 children have been killed in Gaza.

World Health Organization (WHO) calls for an immediate ceasefire.

🇵🇸 The WHOLE WORLD stands with PALESTINE!

We call on Elon Musk to provide satellite connection for the besieged people in the Gaza strip, just as it was provided for Ukrainians during Russia's invasions. The cutting off of internet by Israel has provided a blanket and enabled Israel's genocide of Gazans. #StarLinkForGaza
