Israel killed them all 💔

Newborn babies are freezing to death in Gaza because Israel is blocking the delivery of shelter and preventing reconstruction efforts after carpet bombing the enclave for two years. A 12-day-old baby named Haitham Abu Qass died of exposure to extreme cold on Tuesday, Gaza’s health ministry said, bringing the total number of infants known to have succumbed to hypothermia this winter to 11. On 21 January, three-month-old Ali Abu Zour, whose family were sleeping in a tent, died of hypothermia despite being taken to hospital to treat his symptoms. In December 2024, Jumaa Al-Batran (pictured) was among at least six babies to die of hypothermia in a two-week period. Israel has destroyed more than 83% of buildings in Gaza as part of its genocidal war, leaving around 1.5 million people to sleep in tents or makeshift shelters in temperatures as low as 6C. Israel’s government, which illegally controls all access points to Gaza, has refused to allow in caravans, temporary housing or building materials while also blocking large amounts of medical and food aid in violation of a so-called ceasefire agreement it signed with Hamas in October. It has also continued committing near-daily massacres, killing at least 488 people – including over 100 children – and injuring at least 1,350. Israeli forces have now slaughtered over 71,000 people in Gaza since October 2023, though the true number of deaths is feared to be far higher. The official toll only includes confirmed direct deaths from bombings and shootings and does not account for indirect deaths, such as those caused by disease. It also does not count people whose bodies are still under the rubble. Last month, some 65,000 households in the strip were affected by the severe winter storms, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). “Tents were blown away or damaged, homes collapsed under storm conditions, and personal belongings were soaked,” the office said.

We are so sorry.

Watch this innocent Sudanese boy.. “My mother died and my father went to get food but never made it back!”

The most heartbreaking part of this video isn’t just what she says; it’s that she’s smiling while she says it. A young PaIestinian girl tells a videographer her wish is to die so she can finally "rest from the world" and the flooding.

This little girl says, “I’m scared,” I want my mom back، If you’re scrolling, PLEASE leave a dot.

My statement on the outcome of #COP29: While the agreement reached at COP29 avoids immediate failure, it is far from a success. On the key issues like climate finance and the transition away from fossil fuels, this is — yet again — the bare minimum. We cannot continue to rely on last-minute half measures. Leaders today shirk their responsibility by focusing on long-term, aspirational goals that extend far beyond their own terms in office. To meet the challenge of our time, we need real action at the scale of months and years, not decades and quarter-centuries. This experience in Baku illuminates deeper flaws in the COP process, including the outsized influence of fossil fuel interests that has hobbled this process since its inception. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been particularly obstructive. Putting the future of humanity at severe risk in order to make more money is truly disgraceful behavior. Reforming this process so that the polluters are not in effective control must be a priority. On climate finance, our primary task in the coming years must be to not only fulfill and build upon the financial commitments agreed to at COP29, but to unleash even larger flows of affordable and fair private capital for developing countries. Ultimately, coming out of COP29, we must transform disappointment into determination. We can solve the climate crisis. Whether we do so in time to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement will depend on what comes next.

If you told a child that decades ago the worlds scientists warned that human existence was is in doubt unless we took emergency action, they wouldn’t believe we hadn’t done so. And yet here we are.

@Dandhy_Laksono May she rest in eternal peace and love. 🤍🙏

"AKU BARUSAN narik uang di ATM, dan kayaknya ini yang terakhir. Hehehe. Apa bisa pinjam dulu? Nanti kuganti kalau footage drone udah laku." Apa kamu masih ingat pesan itu? Kukirim sekitar Juni 2015 dari Merauke. Di depan ATM Mandiri. Persis di tengah perjalanan Ekspedisi Indonesia Biru. Aku dan Ucok sedang syuting "The Mahuzes". Itulah jarak terjauh denganmu saat itu. Tentu saja ini didramatisasi, karena kita juga pernah terpisah sejarak setengah lingkar bumi. Tapi hanya 1-2 purnama. Kali ini 12 purnama. Aku ingat kamu selalu mengancam: "Pokoknya kalau sakit, aku jemput pakai truk. Motornya masukin truk dan pulang." Saat kamu mengizinkan perjalanan itu, syaratmu memang hanya satu: jaga kesehatan. Maka ketika dua pekan terkapar di Gorontalo, aku gak pernah cerita. Takut kamu jemput paksa :) Sebab kamu tahu, kehabisan bekal tak akan menghentikanku. Sepanjang masih ada stasiun TV yang mau beli gambar siluet keindahan Indonesia untuk acara "adzan maghrib", semua akan baik-baik saja. Di perjalanan kedua, syaratmu masih sama: "Asal ini ekspedisi terakhir, ya. Kamu udah gak muda lagi". Aku mengiyakan, meski tak setuju alasannya. Mas Farid Gaban melakukan Ekspedisi Zamrud Khatulistiwa umur 49 tahun dan mengulanginya di Ekspedisi Indonesia Baru saat usianya 60 tahun. Tapi tak akan kubantah kamu. Yang penting dapat izin. Apalagi setiap ketemu orang, yang dipuji ya selalu kamu: "Hebat ya istri dan keluarganya mendukung". Saking cemburunya, kadang aku menimpali: "Kalian gak tahu aja, perbuatan-perbuatan baik apa yang telah kulakukan untuk dapat izin". Kini aku gak tahu apa masih sanggup melakukan perjalanan-perjalanan seperti itu. Meski kali ini tentu tak perlu izinmu :) Tapi dalam setiap perjalanan, disaat-saat terlemah dan terjauh, kamu akan membantu dan menyemangati dengan caramu. Dengan ancaman truk. Ancaman terindah yang pernah kuterima. ***

I will retweet this until we act like civilized people and replace fireworks with a noninvasive and harmless tradition.
