Such brave people, your effort is not in vain❤
Ty to the brave ur message is loud and clear
Exactly that, these were people that would escape and tell a story, but they knew Palestinians dont have a voice, so imagine what are they doing to them
I am so sorry for all of those who went against a genocidal criminal regime, to simply bring the most basic of human rights, food, to the Israeli victims in Gaza.
Respekt Heros
