we met this little boy a while ago. he was mourning his friend Shadi who he used to play football with every day

this is the state of Gaza now. if children aren't stuck under the rubble, they are mourning their friends who are

how much longer will this nightmare go on?

We did it! 4 years of hard work, all on one leg, and under siege. 

Its been a tough journey, but we are proud to have represented Palestine for the first time in history at the cycling world cup! We thank you for your continued support and your faith in us.

“This is American weaponry”

Last week, our teammate Hazem’s house was destroyed. This shrapnel is what can be found amongst the remains.

Every one of our teammates has now been forcibly displaced.

It’s been incredibly difficult watching from afar as Rafah is attacked. Our land, team, friends & family members remain under constant threat.

Despite this, we keep pushing, and with Italy around the corner, we’re cracking up the intensity. 

Petition in bio 🇵🇸❤️🇮🇹

Rafah, where most of us live, is constantly under attack

Hazem's home was struck by an airstrike, thankfully he and his family survived

while 3 team members were evacuated to compete abroad, their families & the rest of our team remain in Gaza

the time to mobilise is now

7 months in and 40,000+ deaths later, we are still witnessing massacre after massacre happening

constant bombardment in Rafah and across Gaza

nowhere is safe

Rafah is under attack. A majority of our team members and their families remain in Gaza with nowhere to go.

Hazem was one of our last team members whose house remained standing. Until the occupation attacked the area in the night. Thankfully, Hazem and his family survived.

After countless wars on Gaza, years of visa refusals, and leg amputations, our flag has finally been raised on the world stage!! 🇵🇸

Such a privilege to take part in the paracycling World Cup in Belgium. Thank you for your support in helping us accomplish this dream ❤️

Pt 2 in partnership with Sharek:

This was a joyful aid mission! We cooked & delivered hot meals to both our community and those injured in hospitals.

Stay tuned for Pt 3 where we spread some hope to those who have recently undergone amputation as a result of recent bombing.

Truly a beautiful moment in history to see Palestine on the UCI Para-Cycling competing list ❤️🇵🇸

WE MADE IT TO BELGIUM!

after many failed attempts of getting a visa to compete internationally, our team's journey has finally begun!

of aid missions & the Paralympics, our efforts are made possible by your continued support!

the occupation has been targeting residential buildings these past few nights. many families martyred, among those killed were as young as 4 months old, the aftermath of Rafah has obliterated many lives and homes

the threat of an invasion is horrifying

when will this end?

Breaking 🚨

The occupation has targeted at least 5 residential areas throughout Rafah. We have yet again, lost family members and lifelong friends. This is inhumane.

Our training sessions are marked more and more by wreckage and sand.

The destruction in Khan Younis is so immense that we couldn’t even recognise the streets.

Part 1 of this weeks aid mission: Our team is cooking up hot meals and distributing them to as many people as possible!

Our team in Gaza is not backing down! We draw strength from each other and are excited for our evacuated team members to compete internationally💪🏽❤️ 🇵🇸

Over 200 days of war on Gaza.

200 days that have felt like 200 years.

our first training together as a team under clear skies was the most freeing experiences we've had in awhile!

we've been fighting for this, to represent Palestine on the world stage, sign our #LetThemRide petition and help bring us to the Paralympics

Fun fact: he is always late to everything, everywhere! We'll put up with you, Alaa, but we sincerely hope you're not late to the finish line too 😉🏁

You asked and we've delivered! Whose profile would you like to see next?
