These daily massacres are being enacted on a population who is experiencing what the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) describes as the “worst-case scenario of famine.”

Think about what happens to the starving bodies of children. In the body, the digestive system slows and children's growth and development stall. Heart rate slows, blood pressure drops, body temperature falls. The body begins to consume its own organs, muscles, and bones. The immune system is weakened.

Think about children who are being brutally injured and denied sanitary conditions while starving. Malnutrition directly increases the likelihood of bones breaking and infections like pneumonia, diarrhea, measles, and sepsis. According to Dr. Aqsa Durrani (a physician and epidemiologist who worked this spring at a trauma field hospital in Gaza treating victims of airstrikes) when children are malnourished, even their surgical incisions cannot heal properly because their bodies don't have enough protein to rebuild the tissue. (Time, Jul 31, 2025, "The Medical Consequences of Starvation")

The only means of survival is buying food from markets where there is extreme price gouging, making the smallest amounts continuously more and more expensive the longer Israel prevents aid from reaching Gaza.

My friend Mahrah (@mahrahpalestine) is living in Gaza right now under these conditions. Her parents are losing weight rapidly as they starve. She was studying to be an engineer at Al-Azhar University, and over the course of this war, she is not only losing everything she had, but losing her opportunities. She dreamed of using her skills to rebuild Palestine and support her community. She writes, "My future is what is being lost. I am supposed to focus on my studies, but famine keeps us away from everything."

Her brother Mahmoud is in Egypt, doing everything he can to get her donations to survive, and they miss each other. They need to survive long enough to meet again.

Mahrah's family's fundraiser has been vetted by 90-ghost and shared by fairuzfan. Please support them. They are subsisting on the food they can buy each week with donations.

Discord has implemented the age verification requirement system per the upcoming law going into affect later this week early, so prepare yourself for other sites, which may include Tumblr given the intent is to target adult content which may affect here because of how it still does get posted here, even if the intended targets are the actual site for it.

As of writing, the official petition to have the Online Safety Act repealed is close to 30,000 signatures, but it's barely enough to garner much attention to where it may be dismissed by Parliament, or may get discussed but not getting to where it'll be repealed to actually figure a system that doesn't carry the risk of private information getting leaked.

As of writing, it is close to 55,000 signatures.

At 100,000 signatures, this petition will be considered for debate in Parliament. Keep building pressure.

The focus of online safety should be on public education, regulation of AI, and responsible, platform-driven content moderation.

More than 20 children have starved to death. Did you see them?

These were children. Babies. Dying slowly and silently before our eyes — and no one is moving. They died just yesterday. 101 children in total have died of starvation since this blockade began.

An elderly man collapsed and died while waiting in line for food.

60,000 pregnant women have no food — not for themselves, not for the babies they carry. Mothers are no longer producing milk. Babies are crying from hunger. Israel has completely blocked baby formula from entering Gaza. Those who are starving are trying to save others who are starving.

This is not a natural disaster. It is a manmade crime. The world is watching Gaza die — and saying nothing.

Her campaign is vetted (#213) on the @gazavetters list. She’s doing everything she can to keep her family alive through famine, bombardment, and slow death.

You can make a difference. Right now.
