Afghanistan was already facing severe crises when it was rocked by another devastating earthquake, but this time there are fewer resources to muster after foreign funding was slashed to the bone this year. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/09/02/world/afghanistan-quake-aid-slashed/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #afghanistan #earthquakes #aid

I just had a video conversation on Signal with Nouran ( @NouranKhaledGh) and her brother Yousef from Gaza.
Their family is one of countless ones in Palestine who are still alive but unsure of what tomorrow is going to bring. Last night was especially tough with Israel’s renewed bombing. Yousef told me that at least they are still in their own home and that if they’re ordered by Israel to evacuate again that they will not leave what little they have left. He told me “we will die here”.
Please don’t let Nouran, Yousef, and their family die.
We must keep protesting, keep pressuring our governments until they take definitive action to stop Israel’s genocide.
And also, please help Nouran and her family survive in the interim by donating to their campaign:
https://chuffed.org/project/121561-urgent-help-for-ahmads-family
Your donations help them buy food to eat as Israel continues to starve Gaza.
Even if you cannot help financially right now, please boost this to help spread the word.
Thank you!

At least 91 #Palestinians were killed & more than 600 wounded while attempting to get #aid in the past 24 hours, the #Gaza Health Ministry said on Thursday. This includes 54 people killed while awaiting #food in northern Gaza near the Zikim crossing on Wednesday, the ministry said. The toll is expected to rise further as many of those killed or wounded were brought to isolated, undersupplied hospitals in northern Gaza & have not yet been counted.
