The Palestinian national team 2-0 win over Kuwait puts them just one point behind Oman in the race for a World Cup qualification playoff spot. One game left. Oman up next. History on the line. For the flag. For the people. For the cause.

I’m sending messages to my family and friends in Gaza. No messages are going through at all. I am beyond petrified. That’s a traumatic nightmare that I am unable to bear at all. May Allah ease this pain and comfort us.
