🙏I am praying for you Nafez Mohammed Nasser and I pray that many more hearts of stone will soften … and those with the power will stop the genocide and other crimes against humanity and make urgent reparation 🙏

Please keep telling these stories, Shaun. Thank you. Maybe someone's heart of stone will finally be touched.

What can people do when military forces are at play? We are not empathetic, but we are powerless with this rogue Administration and foreign entities.

Do what you can when u can. Boycott organizations that support these atrocities. Repost. Speak out against these atrocities. Try not to waste . Try not to over indulge. Pray. Journal offline keep a log of what you see and what you hear, read, and how you feel. Your relationship with what is going on matters. Write your Congress person . Your actions have meaning look Shaun King was kicked off IG for sharing for reposting for advocating for change. And THAT was a threat . So don't underestimate your power .

We are all responsible for each other. Would you let your son or sister starve to death so you could feed your greed??? We need to act as if we love our family - I do and I think everyone reading this newsletter does.

No one should be able to turn a blind eye to this level of suffering and inhumanity. Shame on US for being complicit in this genocide.

Are you a medical doctor? Are you able to get help to Nafez? What is your recommendation if his condition is not the result of starvation?

It looks more like a muscle disease. He doesn't have a hunger belly.

I read in another person's post some myths about forced starvation. Myth: Malnutrition ends when food arrives

Reality: Refeeding must be medically supervised. Severe malnutrition alters metabolism. Without care, food can and will kill. Long-term recovery requires infrastructure, clean water, medical support, and dignity.Myth: Only emaciated bodies are starving

Reality: Many starving children appear bloated, not thin. Kwashiorkor and other forms of protein malnutrition cause edema, giving a falsely "healthy" appearance. Visibility is not a reliable measure of suffering. The bloated, edematous, Michelin-man-like child can die imminently without very specialized medical care.
