Wounds such as burns or leg injuries more common in Gaza than among US soldiers who fought in Iraq/Afghanistan

“The extent of traumatic injury victims reflects “the impact of indiscriminate aerial and heavy explosive bombardment in civilian areas”

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

"There is no excuse for what’s happening in Gaza. This tragedy must end now, immediately and decisively. Every political hesitation, every attempt at justification of the horrors being committed under international watch, will forever be judged as a collective failure to preserve humanity in war.”

Gaza | The scale of human suffering and the stripping of human dignity have long exceeded every acceptable standard, both legal and moral.

This tragedy must end now.

Trans rights are human rights. 🏳️‍⚧️

Trans women are women. Trans men are men. Trans rights are human rights.

Trans women are routinely denied healthcare, safe housing and dignity.

This isn’t an accident. It is hate, fuelled by those in power.

Stand in solidarity and keep the conversation going. 📢
