    They Call It a Ceasefire, Let's Call It What It Is

    On Monday May 25th at 1:49pm, Noura Al-Aqaad was 250 meters from Ghaith Camp in Al-Mawasi, Khan Yunis, when her six-year-old son Siraj came running and screaming. He had a word for it: ithnan, ithnan. Two, two. He meant two rockets. A six-year-old girl named Mennatallah Abu Libda was playing at the door of her family's tent nearby. She was the same age as Siraj. She was killed. Since the US-brokered ceasefire was announced in October 2025, Gaza's Government Media Office has documented a minimum of 3,005 Israeli violations. At least 922 Palestinians have been killed. At least 230 of them were children. This episode is Noura Al-Aqaad's account of what the ceasefire looks like from inside a displacement tent in Al-Mawasi — the area Israel designated as a humanitarian safe zone and the UN formally documented as unsafe. It draws on testimony provided directly to Warrior Woman Gaza, alongside verified reporting on ceasefire violations, the political context behind the escalation, and the pattern of Israeli violations across both Gaza and Lebanon. There is no ceasefire. Noura has a word for it, too.

    "Foretold and Later Confirmed": the UN's OHCHR Report on Occupied Palestine

    In August 2025, Alessia filed a complaint with the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights on behalf of Noura Al-Aqaad and her family in Khan Younis, Gaza. The complaint was closed in ten days. Nine months later, the OHCHR published a 74-page report confirming everything she had documented. This episode is about what it means to seek accountability through international mechanisms for a family the system was not designed to protect, and what happens when those mechanisms fail on schedule. Noura Al-Aqaad has lived in a displacement tent in Al-Mawasi since her last evacuation. Her husband, Sameh, has been on a WHO medical evacuation list for over a year. Her children have never known a single day of this war to end. The UN confirmed all of it. Nothing changed. This episode draws on the OHCHR complaint filed, the May 2026 OHCHR report on the situation in Gaza, and testimony from Noura Al-Aqaad.
