Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) works for the health and dignity of Palestinians living under occupation and as refugees. We provide immediate medical aid to those in great need, while also developing local capacity and skills to ensure the long-term development of the Palestinian healthcare system.

Responding to this emergency situation, Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP)’s team on the ground in Gaza are releasing all of our pre-positioned stocks, worth $570,000 USD (approximately £465,000), to ensure hospitals and emergency responders have the supplies they need to cope with an unprecedented influx of casualties. The list of supplies provided by MAP includes essential drugs and disposables, lab reagents and support for Gaza’s blood bank services. Some of these supplies are already being delivered to Al Awda Hospital.

@beholdthemem​Oh, this?Yeah, I’m not totally sure I’m on a deep enough level either, but you know what? I’ll try break it down, for fun.

I gave it some thought, and there’s… actually a lot to talk about?

anybody who deems it ‘trauma porn’ must not have understood the point—which is no issue, honestly, seeing as art is subjective. but for so many people to loathe the book because it’s so heavy is the literal reason why yanagihara had to write it; why someone had to write it. the message of this novel is incredibly important, and the characters will live within me forever

that being said, i will never recommend it. i don’t say that to be funny, either. i genuinely mean it. unless i know you extremely well and intricately, i will never recommend such a heavy novel to anybody
