Palestinians are posting final messages and letters of farewell on social media, expressing their fear they will not survive amid the intensity of Israel’s carpet bombing of the Gaza Strip.

Many Palestinians in Gaza have turned to social media since the start of Israel’s onslaught in October 2023 to communicate with one another, document Israeli attacks and their daily experiences, and share their thoughts, hopes and lives with international audiences in a period when media outlets, social media platforms and arts and education institutions stand accused of censoring information and muzzling freedom of expression related to the war.

Over the past 24 hours however, posts expressing hopelessness amid the severity and destructiveness of the attacks and fear that people in Gaza might not survive this time, have soared.
