I had the chance to cook Palestinian Rice Pot (Qudra) earlier. Palestinian Rice Pot (Qudra) is one of the staple Palestinian dishes. I’m going to share the recipe with you. It is one of my favourite dishes, I always try to cook it on the occasion. And I’m quite the chef, I always enjoy cooking for my family and my friends, and I enjoy food. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

"The day before global leaders convened this week in New York City for the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly, the governments of the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia joined the vast majority of the world’s nations in recognizing Palestine as a state.

Folks, please remember that while our focus this week has been on trying to get the families stuck under Israel’s bombs in the North to relative safety in the South, our families in the South need your continued support for the basic necessities of life.

You’ll remember Aseel as she was our very first Gaza Verified member.

Every week, she tries to raise $500 so she can feed her family of six.

Her fundraiser isn’t doing too well this week.

(She still has a little over $300 she needs to raise.)

Please help if you can.

Thank you!

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) announced Friday it has been forced to suspend lifesaving medical activities in Gaza City as Israeli forces intensified their offensive, encircling clinics and placing patients and staff at grave risk.
