Diwali is about hope, light, and renewal.
Gaza is about survival.
This man doesn’t know the difference between celebration and devastation.
Cruel he is. https://t.co/QQDHRgC96V— Rakhi Tripathi (@rakhitripathi) October 21, 2025

One person wrote that Gaza does not need your dark humor. They need humanity. There is no festive atmosphere in war.

latest situation in gaza
The fragile US-brokered ceasefire in the Gaza Strip is facing its first major test. This ceasefire was about to end on 19 October. On this day, 26-29 Palestinians were killed in Israeli air strikes. Israel took this action amid the ceasefire when Hamas was accused of killing two Israeli soldiers. Both sides are accusing each other of violations.
More than 67,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since October 7, 2023, while 170,000 have been injured. 78% of the buildings here have been destroyed. Thousands of displaced people are now returning to northern Gaza after the ceasefire, but are facing widespread destruction. Internal conflict has erupted between Hamas and rival groups after Israeli troops evacuated from some places. Many people have died in this.
