Gaza Families Burn Remains of Their Homes for Survival
DaysofPal- In a scene that starkly illustrates the growing humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, many families are now burning the remnants of their destroyed homes to cook food for their children. With cooking gas supplies cut off by the Israeli blockade, residents have resorted to using wood scraps, plastic, and even their broken furniture to survive. Since the outbreak of the war on October 7, 2023, Gaza's supply of cooking gas has come to a complete halt. More than two million residents have been forced to adopt dangerous and improvised alternatives, often at the expense of their health and environment. Although the Israeli occupation temporarily allowed limited gas shipments during a short-lived ceasefire, this access ended abruptly after the collapse of the truce on March 18, 2024 — a deal brokered by Egypt and Qatar with U.S. support. Burning Their Belongings to Stay Alive Mohammad Mousa, a former carpenter and father of six, now uses parts of his furniture to light fires and prepare meals for his family. 'I can't afford firewood anymore,' he told Palestine Newspaper. 'It used to cost one shekel; now it's three. I haven't worked since the war began, and I've spent everything I had just moving between areas to keep my children safe from airstrikes.' With safety elusive in every corner of the besieged enclave, Mousa says what's left of his home has become fuel for survival. 'The war has made firewood our only option, but its soaring price has turned it into another crisis on top of many.' The story is the same for Kamal Obeid, a father of four, who says he's reduced to burning plastic and paper indoors after running out of furniture to burn. 'At first, I bought wood, but the price drained my savings. Then I turned to whatever I could find — plastic, trash, anything,' he said. 'Now my kids are sick. The air inside our home is toxic.' Fires Born from Rubble Mouin Abd Al-Al, displaced from his destroyed home in Gaza's Al-Nasr neighborhood, is gathering debris from what's left of his house just to cook food. 'Everything I owned is gone,' he said. 'Now, I pick up broken wooden panels to make a fire. This is how we eat.' But the health toll is mounting. With people burning plastic and other non-household materials, residents are increasingly suffering from respiratory illnesses. Abd Al-Al says he experiences frequent headaches, blurred vision, and difficulty breathing. 'Sitting in front of this fire has become a daily routine — not by choice, but by necessity,' he said. A Cry for Help Amid the Ashes As the blockade tightens and airstrikes continue, residents are pleading with the international community to act. From under the rubble and rising smoke, Gazans are calling for an immediate end to what they describe as a genocide and for humanitarian aid — especially cooking gas, food, and medicine — to be allowed into the Strip. 'We're not asking for luxuries,' said one resident. 'Just the bare essentials to keep our children alive.' With every passing day, the fires burning in Gaza are no longer just for cooking — they are a symbol of a people struggling to hold on in the face of total devastation. Shortlink for this post:

Amputees in Gaza face life in war zone with little hope
CAIRO/GAZA: Farah Abu Qainas hoped to become a teacher, but an Israeli airstrike last year injured her so severely she lost her left leg, throwing all her plans into doubt and adding the 21-year-old to a list of thousands of new amputees in devastated Gaza. Still living in a temporary shelter, Abu Qainas attends physiotherapy sessions at a prosthetics center in the territory where she waits in a wheelchair for an artificial limb that could allow her some freedom again. 'That day, I lost more than just my leg. My dreams vanished,' she said. 'I longed to attend university and teach children. But this injury has stolen that future.' The war began on Oct. 7, 2023, when militants carried out a cross-border attack on Israeli communities. Israel's military campaign has since killed more than 50,000 Palestinians in Gaza, local health authorities say, and left most of the tiny, crowded coastal territory in ruins and nearly all its people homeless. Many thousands more have suffered injuries that will change their lives for decades to come. However, amid a conflict that has left the medical system barely able to function, estimates for how many Palestinians have lost limbs vary. 'Across Gaza, it is estimated that 4,500 new amputees require prosthetics, in addition to the 2,000 existing cases requiring maintenance and follow-up care,' the UN humanitarian agency OCHA reported last month. Ahmed Mousa, who runs the physical rehabilitation program in Gaza for the International Committee of the Red Cross, said at least 3,000 people had been registered in their program, of whom 1,800 have amputations. Many thousands more Palestinians have suffered spinal injuries or lost their sight or hearing, according to OCHA and the ICRC. The large number of injuries has slowed and complicated efforts to provide treatment. ICRC officials said that getting artificial limbs into the Gaza Strip has been challenging. 'Accessing proper prosthetics or mobility aids is increasingly challenging in Gaza right now, and unfortunately, there is no clear timeline for many,' said Mousa. Israel suspended all humanitarian aid to Gaza after the collapse of a two-month-old ceasefire last month. Abu Qainas, who attends Mousa's therapy program, said she does not know when she might get an artificial leg or treatment abroad. 'They told me to wait, but I don't know if it's going to happen anytime soon,' she said. Israel's military has said its bombardment of Gaza is necessary to crush Hamas, which it accuses of hiding among the general Palestinian population. Hamas denies this. Israel says it tries to reduce harm to civilians. Children have not escaped the carnage. An April study by the Palestinian Bureau of Statistics said at least 7,000 children have been injured since October 2023, with hundreds losing limbs, sight, or hearing. She said seven-year-old Shaza Hamdan had wanted to learn to ride a bike. 'My father asked (me) to join him for a walk, before shells began falling on us like rain. One hit my leg and cut it off, and another hit my father's arm,' she said.

Fund misuse concerns: $7M infrastructure push in Dhi Qar
Shafaq News/ Authorities in Nasr district, north of Dhi Qar province, announced on Wednesday the rollout of eight infrastructure projects worth 10 billion IQD ($7.6 million), while pushing back against public criticism over a flooded transportation hub. District administrator Azhar Mousa told Shafaq News that the projects, funded through the Dhi Qar Reconstruction Fund and provincial development programs, are in various stages of execution. "Once completed, these projects will cover nearly 70% of the district's infrastructure needs, significantly improving conditions by late 2025," he said. Regarding public anger over the Nasr Unified Garage, which flooded after heavy rainfall, Mousa clarified that the project is still under construction. "Some rushed to criticize it on social media," he noted, adding that the garage is being implemented directly by the General Transport Authority under the Ministry of Transport, at an estimated cost of 500 million dinars (over $380K). The garage's flooding sparked accusations of mismanagement and waste of public funds, with activists calling for an investigation into the supervising entity.

Entire families killed in Syria sectarian violence, UN says
CNN — Armed groups killed entire families, including women and children, during an outbreak of sectarian violence in Syria last week, the United Nations' human rights office said on Tuesday. The bloodshed in the coastal heartland of former ruler Bashar al-Assad saw more than 800 people killed in clashes between armed groups loyal to the toppled dictator and forces loyal to the new Syrian regime, according to a war monitor. Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCR) spokesperson Thameen Al-Kheetan said the agency had documented at least 111 killings, though the number was believed to be far higher. 'Some survivors told us that many men were shot dead in front of their families,' Al-Kheetan told a regular press briefing in Geneva, adding that many of the 'summary executions' targeted members of the Alawite minority. The Assad family, which ruled Syria for more than half a century, are members of the minority Shiite Muslim sect, which lives predominantly in Sunni-majority Syria. Al-Kheetan said the killings 'appear to have been carried out on a sectarian basis, in Tartus, Latakia and Hama governorates – reportedly by unidentified armed individuals, members of armed groups allegedly supporting the caretaker authorities' security forces.' 'In a number of extremely disturbing instances, entire families – including women, children and individuals hors de combat – were killed, with predominantly Alawite cities and villages targeted in particular,' he said. A Syrian man points at bullet holes in a window of a hospital in Jableh town, 25 km south of Latakia, on March 10, 2025, following a spate of violence between Syrian security forces and insurgents loyal to deposed president Bashar al-Assad. Moawia Atrash/dpa/Battles take place between the new Syrian government's Defense Ministry forces and the forces loyal to Bashar Assad on March 7, 2025, in outskirts of Jableh, Latakia countryside, Syria. Mohamad Daboul/AFP/MiddleThe United Kingdom-based Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) said on Tuesday that among the 803 killed, 'non-state armed groups' loyal to Assad were responsible for the deaths of 383 people, including 172 members of state security forces and 211 civilians. Meanwhile, eyewitness testimonies and video verified by CNN showed government loyalists carrying out field executions, with some speaking of 'purifying' the country. Teacher Ahmed Ali Al Mousa was killed by armed men who came to his home in the coastal city of Baniyas last Thursday and asked whether he was Sunni or Alawite, a family member who escaped the violence told CNN. 'By God I will drink your blood,' one of the men said, according to the relative, who CNN is not naming to protect their safety. The men abducted Mousa and he was found five hours later lying in the street with gunshot wounds to his chest and abdomen, the relative said. Mousa died in hospital the next day, they said. The same day, Mousa's sister-in-law Itithad Mohammed Kamal Saud and 15-year-old nephew Mudar Safwan Mousa were killed when another armed group entered their apartment and shot them both in the head without warning, family members told CNN. A woman in Latakia, who wished to remain anonymous for fear of reprisals, told CNN that militants using sectarian slurs broke into her house. Her husband and all the men in her village were killed and the families were not allowed to bury them or retrieve the bodies from the street, she said. Throughout Assad's rule, the Alawite sect became increasingly linked, in the eyes of his opponents, to the atrocities committed by his regime during the Syrian civil war. Interim Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa, who once led the al Qaeda-linked group that toppled Assad late last year, has previously promised political equality and representation to the various sects of Syria's diverse ethnic and religious populations. The caretaker authorities announced the end of security operations in the coastal areas on March 10, but intermittent clashes continue to be reported. Sharaa has blamed the violence on the remains of Assad's forces, claiming they were trying to incite sectarian strife. On Sunday, Sharaa said his government would hold accountable anyone involved in the deaths of civilians during the heavy fighting. Sharaa had previously described the violence as 'expected challenges.' Syria's interim government has vowed to form an independent committee to investigate the violence and submit a report to the presidency within 30 days. CNN's Nadeen Ebrahim contributed reporting.
