“I don’t have anywhere else to go.” Ibrahim Dahman is a CNN journalist in Gaza and sent this first person account of what life is like right now in Gaza. “I know deep down no building is safe.”

It’s impossible to be at the Rafah crossing & not feel heartbroken. Behind these walls there are 2 million people in Gaza with no water, food, medicine, fuel. On this side, these trucks have what they need. We need to make them move—as soon as possible, as many as necessary.

In these 1000 days, an aspiring writer could have found her voice while working on her school paper. A biology student could have learned how to save a life. A robotics student could have developed the foundation for a ground-breaking invention. But despite their circumstances,

It’s been 1000 days since the Taliban banned girls’ secondary education. Afghan women and girls are living under gender apartheid — but they are fighting back. That's why Malala Fund is supporting orgs working to keep girls learning in Afghanistan with $1.5M in new funding.
