Feb 7 - Live from Gaza: Press Release Statement by Mansour Shouman and his Media Team Due to heavy bombardment on Nasser Hospital, it is too difficult to get a video out today. This is an audio message from Mansour together with a written statement. On January 21st, I communicated for the last time with my Mom, my wife and kids, and my team around the world. I went through a difficult 15 days without communicating with my family, and you, my global family. I can’t get into what I went through, but I was certain that without Allah’s mercy, I would not come out alive. We faced heavy bombardment, dodged snipers, drones, and soldiers, and were not able to seek out help. In that time, you all rallied together, you gave my mother and family support, and most importantly, you showed my family that you are there for them. I would be ungrateful if I did not thank my global community, but additionally, I really have to thank everyone who worked with my family, I would like to thank, • The Canadian Government, • Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ‎@CanadianPM  ‎@pmducanada  , • and Minister Melanie Joly @melaniejoly7305 for their efforts in working with my family to locate me during my absence due to the siege of Khan Younis and the continued COMMUNICATIONS blackout. My sincere gratitude extends to all Canadian Members of Parliament who raised concerns about my absence and safety, I would like to thank MPs • Sameer Zuberi @sameerzuberi8378 • Heather McPherson @heathermcpherson2548 • Blake Desjarlais @blakeforedmontongriesbach1675 • And Alberta NDP Leader Rachel Notley @RachelNotleyAB for their vocal advocacy and support for my safe return. Furthermore, I would like to acknowledge the invaluable contributions of various organizations advocating for justice, including the • National Council for Canadian Muslims @nccmtv4422 , • Justice for All Canada @justiceforallcanada , • Muslim Action Group, • and CALL TO ACTION NOW. Your relentless dedication to Palestinian causes and the pursuit of justice is commendable. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau & Minister Joly, while your concern for my well-being is deeply appreciated, I implore you to recognize the broader crisis facing 2.3 million Palestinians enduring a dire humanitarian situation. My situation was just an example of what Gazan’s experience every day. Families lose members regularly due to the hazards we live with here. The ongoing genocide unfolding before our eyes demands immediate action. Canada's recent defunding of UNRWA @unrwa, a lifeline for 90% of Gaza's population, is deeply concerning. As a nation founded on humanitarian principles, let us not be swayed by misleading propaganda. I urge you to prioritize the refunding to UNRWA and advocate vigorously for a permanent ceasefire. You are witnessing a live genocide on TV and on social media. Your leadership carries a lot of weight and influence for peace. I urge you to use power for the greater good, to stand firmly on the right side of history. Thank you, and may peace be upon you. Wa assalam alaykum.
