Gaza’s Subterranean Wall - first pictures
Incredible picture of the wall under constructed.

A Palestinian man made homeless by last winter’s Gaza war was the first to receive a U.N.-funded mud brick home Saturday, with U.N. aid officials saying they’re reverting to ancient building techniques because Israel won’t allow concrete and other construction materials into blockaded Gaza.

gaza:
Thanks to the reader who sent this in. Support them if you can people!
We are a group of young people who are taking on a physical and mental challenge that will see us cycle from London to Paris. We are doing this in solidarity with the people of Gaza.
Our aim is to raise £100,000 for Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP). This money will go into projects in Gaza focusing on children’s health.
yaay that’s me. thank you Gaza for putting this up :)
my friends have been training hard for this cycle for months now. they leave from london in 2 days, support them anyway you can! :)

Cycling 4 Gaza
So some really good friends of mine are cycling from london to paris to raise money in solidarity with Gaza. They’re going to be cycling about 100kms/day from July 2nd-July 4th and are aiming to raise £100,000 for MAP (Medical Aid for Palestinians, a non political, non-sectarian organisation that purely works to improve the health of palestinians). they’ve been going to spinning classes for months now (eeks, torture) and have been training really really hard for this. if you’d like to donate or find more information on the challenge click on the link above. watch my friend Tamara speak about the cycle on Press TV here

A Short Film by Yoni Goodman, the Director of Animation for “Waltz With Bashir” (a documentary which I still have yet to see). The most common synonym for Gaza is “prison” - Israel controls the Gaza strip’s air space, borders and territorial waters. Yoni conveys their suffocation so well in this little piece.
