3 April 2024
From Islam Bassam Barbari in north Gaza:
I long for old days & regular days, places where it felt home & my home, it was the best of all times, the worst of all times, we are full of life yet we have not get one of our choice.
It really goes beyond the killing part as living has become extremely challenging and difficult, food is hard to get, drinking water is virtually inaccessible, health care centres are totally destroyed, and we have been losing every thing that had given us life back in time.
People here are left wondering if they life worthy as the rest of humans in this world, although they know they are, yet all actions taken by international community & international associations equals to ZERO as children gets killed, women killed and raped then killed, as well as every Tom, Dick, and Harry brutally tortured and killed with no rhyme or reason to it.
Please tell the world that we are a people like you who wish to live in peace and security in our country, governing ourselves. Please tell the Americans that if they hate war and explosion of others, they should stop their government from making war on us helping the Israelis to deprive us of our land. Tell your people that coming to Israel helps her to deny our rights.

National Walking Day
National Walking Day is every year on the first Wednesday in April and takes place on April 3 this year. National Walking Day is exactly as it sounds — a day to celebrate the easiest way to be the healthiest version of you. Walking for thirty to sixty minutes per day may sound like it isn’t much, but studies have shown that it can drastically improve your health and even help prevent ailments such as type II diabetes, cancer, and heart disease.
When is National Walking Day 2024?
Reap the benefits of walking and make it a part of your lifestyle on National Walking Day on April 3.
History of National Walking Day
Walking has always been a part of being human. Many archaeologists have found that even when humans were nomadic tribes, we would often walk great distances to stalk our prey (think Wooly Mammoths) and wait for them to sleep before pouncing. Walking is, essentially, what humans are physically we best at. We’re the slowest runners, the worst swimmers, and we can’t even fly without a big jet engine. Walking is the humans bread and butter.
Maybe that’s why during the Victorian era there was a little fad called pedestrianism, where walking became one of the major spectator sports in America and Europe until baseball usurped it. But individuals would wager massive bets over whether walkers could make it marathon distances and under what time. There’s a reason why racewalking is an Olympic sport, after all.
Whether it’s John Muir’s spiritual journeys through the woods; pilgrimages to Mecca; or just a casual stroll through your local park, walking has always held a close, dear place in the hearts of humans. It’s no wonder that there are so many health benefits associated with it and also why National Move More Month and National Walking Day were created promote this fantastic and surprisingly easy pastime.
