In these two stories by @IbtisamAzem, things are not quite as they seem. Translated by Mayada Ibrahim, this fiction is simultaneously disconcerting and grounding — unfolding in medias res, with scenes and imagery that linger long in the reader's mind.

ALT An illustration in two halves. The top half shows a woman at the front of a protest march, shouting with her arm in the air. In the bottom half is a field of poppies with a hand running through it. Underneath the illustration it says: Two Short Stories by Ibtisam Azem, trans. by Mayada Ibrahim.

alongside with other pieces yet to come, that was
screened yesterday in Dublin as a part of Free
Palestine tour, which is an independent charity
concert tour launched by our dear 6macklemore

and celebrity guests
Salute to all of them, to everyone attended and to
everyone that never tires of calling for a free
Palestine, and fighting with everything they got
Special thanks to ele_elna_elak for training the
choir and helping the children to get such an
opportunity.

production support
And to all the wonderful Children and parents for
their hard work.
Special thanks to all the hidden gifts we have, the
dear lanzybear ,the friends and family supporting
us and believing in our commitment and ability, and
paving the way for such productions to see the
light 🤍🤍🤍

STOP SAWIT KE ISRAEL!
🔥 Hutan kita dibakar. Asapnya kita hirup. Sawitnya dikirim ke penjajah.
Di saat Gaza dibantai, minyak sawit dari tanah kita terus berlayar ke Israel, tak absen sebulan pun.

Dalam tiga bulan terakhir, sebanyak 10 petugas dan relawan gugur saat berjuang memadamkan kebakaran hutan dan lahan (karhutla) di berbagai wilayah Indonesia, mulai dari kawasan Taman Nasional Bromo Tengger Semeru hingga sejumlah wilayah di Kalimantan.
Terima kasih atas pengabdian dan perjuangan yang tak ternilai.
Semoga mendapat tempat terbaik di sisi Tuhan Yang Maha Esa dan keluarga yang ditinggalkan diberi kekuatan serta ketabahan 🥀

🚨 BREAKING: Half a million Palestinians in Gaza will lose monthly food assistance as funding shortages force major World Food Programme cuts ahead of winter, ABC News Australia reports.
➤ WFP is reducing its monthly reach from 1.6 million people to 1.1 million. Families receiving two food parcels will now get one, and flour bags will shrink.
➤ Daily hot meals have fallen from 250,000 to 150,000. Some families in hard-to-reach areas will receive meals every other day instead of daily. Cash assistance for 75,000 families is being cut by 40%.
➤ WFP’s Carl Skau said traditional donors, including the U.S. and Europe, have reduced funding. “It’s not because the needs are down … it’s only due to the lack of funding,” Skau told ABC.
➤ Around 1.4 million people face crisis-level hunger or worse, including 200,000 in emergency conditions. WFP says it urgently needs $450 million for six months of operations in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.
