Here are few sample pictures to show the Humanitarian crisis in Gaza, the Earth of Death
Support Palestine Campaign in Sri Lanka
The one time silent genocide against the Gaza strip estimated 1.5 million inhabitants has stepped as the Israel government and its occupation army continues to blockade the borders of Gaza for the twenty successive months. They have stopped allowing the entry of hundreds of essential commodities including food items, medicine and raw materials in order to make Gazans starve and die. Meantime, Israeli government has limited fuel and electricity to Gaza.
These steps have paved the way a serious humanitarian crisis where people have no access to food, medical treatments, employment and education. Serious and emergency What is happening in Gaza is actually a merciless and atrocious rampage of murder and terror of holocaust by army against a blockaded, beleaguered and starved people who want to survive and be free. Hence, the unfolding tragedy in Gaza is a foxy conspiracy of sadistic, genocidal Israeli campaign to starve and kill Gazans while hoaxing the whole world. The strong support of the US and its allies patronize all these Israelis inhumanities. Hence, as we are being kindhearted Sri Lankans, it is high-time to show our solidarity to the people of Palestine at this crucial juncture.

Note:
According to United Nations Relief & Work Agency (UNRWA), one of the few relief working in Palestine with many difficulties, the Israel Occupation Army (IOA) is closing all roads & highways connecting Gaza to the outside world, creating very harsh living conditions for the Palestinians there in the light of the absence of basic needs such as food, medicine and fuel amongst other things. Four out of five Palestinian people live below poverty line and UNRWA has warned that the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are facing a rapidly worsening humanitarian condition that necessitates extending urgent assistance to them and lifting the siege on the Strip.
Further, it points out that Palestinian economy is in shambles and there are no work opportunities possibly due to the deteriorating security conditions that also affect the Agency work. The Israeli occupation authority is hampering the UNRWA staffers' freedom of movement in the Strip, she pointed out, underlining that the Agency was in need of police escort and fortified vehicles. The UNRWA itself faces the financial crisis to continue extending educational, health and social services to around 4.4 million refugees in Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, West Bank and Gaza.

The following exercises may be prescribed by your healthcare provider in conjunction with Low Level Laser therapy. In the photos you will see below, the right wrist is the one being exercised. If your left wrist is affected, do the same exercises with the left hand.
When doing each of these exercises, the hand should be flexed until a sensation of stretching is felt in the arm. The position should be held for 10 to 15 seconds for each of 10 repetitions. Try to this set of exercises three times a day.
Exercises 1 and 2 flex and extend the hand and stretch the wrist. Bend the hand as shown in the photos and apply moderate pressure to it with the other hand.
