Isa: Why Can’t Any Of You Ever Clean Up After Yourselves?

Isa: The more you weigh, the harder you are to kidnap. Stay safe, eat cake.

a million words would not bring you back, i know because i tried, neither would a million tears, i know because I cried.

Did you know that majority of Americans fear public speaking more than death? Crazy huh lol

I’m a part of the majority then. 😊 (seriously public speaking feels like a nightmare)

Jake: Why is there a dead guy on our porch? Kai: Isa punched him in the guts. Jake: WHY? Kai: Poor dude forgot the garlic knots.

Isa: Future husband say what! Jake: What? Isa: *internally* Nailed it.

Isa: Hey Jake I donated all your books to the library.

Jake: But why would you do that?

Isa: So that you don’t get bored there.

Isa: That's it! Jake: What's it? Isa:I'm leaving! Goodbye! Jake:Bye! Jake:I said I'm leaving! You don't care about me? Jake:Oh I do, just not today.

Dec. 1, 2015 | Gaza City, Palestine

Palestinian schoolgirls walk in front of a rainbow illuminating the sky over Gaza City’s shore.

Isa: Can I ask a dumb question?

Jake: Better than anyone I know.

Something I learned in these last seven months is that when children get war-related amputations, they need further surgeries as they grow.

I'd read it on Twitter so I looked it up to confirm (and it's true) but a lot of the search results were hospitals and doctors trying to explain the process to parents and what to tell their children, what kind of care they'd need after, how prosthetics would work.

I just saw this adorable little baby on Twitter (you can click to view the video, it's not gory, he's just a super serious little dude)

and I thought, fleeing from Rafah must be one of the most traumatizing dangerous situations you could be in right now as a healthy adult, let alone a baby with multiple amputations in famine conditions.

There are no working hospitals to speak of in Gaza, healthcare workers keep being killed off, aid keeps being blocked, many of the amputees have no one to look after them, there's still constant bombing and shelling and shooting.

UNICEF reported 1,000 child amputees by the end of November.
