The continued siege imposed by Israeli occupation forces and colonists on three homes in the town of Qusra, south of Nablus, for the 29th consecutive day has prevented a teacher and two children from attending school and kindergarten. Director of the South Nablus Directorate of Education, Samer al-Jamal, told WAFA that teacher Suhair Abu Rida was unable to join her colleagues at Asma Bint Abi Bakr School in Qusra because of the siege imposed on her home, depriving dozens of female students of their lessons. He added that the siege had also prevented two children from attending kindergarten, describing the measure as a violation of children’s right to education.
The Nablus Directorate of Education had chosen Qusra to launch the new academic year, in an event attended by Nablus Governor Ghassan Daghlas and representatives of official and local institutions, as a message affirming the residents’ steadfastness and commitment to their children’s right to education. Israeli occupation forces and colonists have continued to besiege three homes in the Ras al-Ain area of Qusra for 29 consecutive days, preventing their residents from entering or leaving their homes according to WAFA.
Good Morning From The Sea of Gaza

In the morning, they went down to the sea. None of them seemed to think of the sea as anything than grand; it was simply the nearest place that was still open to them. They stepped into the water, pushing and laughing, and then the waves began to come towards them, one after another. Their clothes grew wet and clung to their bodies, while their voices mingled with the sound of the water.
On the shore, the small things remained behind: an overturned shoe, a bottle of water, a towel too small for anyone. They moved a little farther into the sea, running whenever a wave came close, then turning back toward it as though they had known it all their lives.
