On August 8, Israel’s security cabinet approved Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s plan to “take over” Gaza City and surrounding areas, sparking global condemnation and deepening an already dire humanitarian crisis.
Here’s what local residents are saying:
- Badr Abu Aslih told CGTN Stringer, “Since the full takeover announcement, the situation has completely collapsed.” 😢
- Saadi Saeed Karim stood firm: “I will not leave my home … Death at home is better than death in the streets.” 💔
With basic needs like food, water, and medicine already stretched thin, Gazans fear that an all-out takeover could lead to mass displacement and even larger-scale violence. The hope? No more massacres, and a path toward safety and dignity.
From Dhaka to Jakarta, young adults in South Asia and Southeast Asia are tuning in, sharing stories, and pushing for humanitarian protection. In a fast-paced digital world, their solidarity can make a real difference. ✊🌍
