Israeli forces have carried out strikes on three schools in Gaza City, killing at least 33 people – 18 of them children.

The schools were being used as shelters by hundreds of displaced Palestinian families.

Israel’s military has also issued orders for residents in more neighbourhoods in Gaza City to flee their homes.

I've been buying from this site for years and just did it again. At least twenty percent of every order goes to helping dogs in a shelter near you. Sadly, I don't know a company like this for cats. Maybe, a great tea-lover can create one, so we have both coffee and tea! Either way, this is a great way to help animals in need. They also sell all sorts of other things from hot chocolate, to coffeemakers, to mugs, to clothing, to toys for dogs.

Does anyone know where in central #SouthWesternOntario (#kitchener , #waterloo, #waterlooregion @waterlooregion ) to #donate still working - just old - #cellphones, #tablets?

Sometime in the past I gave a bunch to an org that got them to women's #shelters and refugee new arrivals but I can't remember who that was.

I haven't had #smell for about five years since I became #homeless due to #allergies and an #immunesystem that viciously hates #nature and my own #body at times.

#shelters are FILTHY as are the streets, as are you. #hygiene is a #privilege not a #right in the #USA. I had #NasalPolyp issues that clogged my nose.

I was going for #surgery but they've been clearing as my #health improves, and I'm #happy too.

It's both WONDERFUL and HORRIBLE at once.

#losangeles has many smells.

Say what you will about #graffiti but I'm a bit of a rebel so I love it.

Especially when I'm mad at my country.

Maybe I left some myself at times who knows. I plead the fifth.

I do like #losangeles when it comes to dumpsters and public cans.

If it's meant to be messed up and covered in trash anyway, then I like all the colors.

All the new #shelters and low income #apartments are starting to look like blade runner and soulless anyway.

Or a Soviet block, or #jail

Being #homeless with #Tourettes gave me #ptsd. I had it anyway, but was made worse.

When someone tries to scare or intimidate me, it's nearly impossible for me to not start having outbursts and yelling back.

Lots of scary people at #shelters and on the streets. It's where they go when they get kicked out of other places for being scary and violent.

They don't really like it when you talk back, and I can't help it.

Found myself in some situations I'd rather not have.

It’s heartbreaking to think about the many animals needing shelter services. Rescue groups help close the gap by housing and caring for these pets, and connecting them with new homes. #animal #shelters #dogs
