Israeli army targets Red Cross office in Gaza

In less than one week, we witnessed the massacre of well over 700 Palestinians by Israel.

During this time we also learned that 170 of them were children all killed within 50 minutes while they slept, and many of those who survived joined the ever growing number of child amputees in Gaza, cementing its position as the area with the highest number of child amputees per capita in the world.

We also saw videos of Palestinian families in Tulkarm in the occupied West Bank being forced out of their homes in mass displacement campaigns, and similarly saw heartbreaking scenes of hundreds of other families in Gaza who face the same fate.

It's a lot.

This is not a call of despair, and I refuse to let go of hope. But at this stage, it just feels almost futile to try to "keep people informed." One thing I had promised myself years, decades ago is to never stop talking about Palestine. But who am I talking to now? There's an abundance of reporting and documentation that everyone can access. The silence is a deliberate choice. What else should I do? Do I need to walk the streets and scream that Gazans are breaking their fast with only bread and water? Do I grab people by the shoulder and tell them that the Israeli cabinet had already approved a "voluntary transfer" plan for Gaza, which is word for word what they implemented during the Nakba? How do I know that anyone is listening and recognising that the map of the West Bank is forever changed with intensified and active campaigns of ethnic cleansing? I don't even think people fully realise how gruesome the first sentence in this post really is, when Palestinian suffering has become so normalised due to it being live-streamed for 17 months and counting.

It really is a lot. Palestinians are experiencing one of the darkest times in our history and navigating an immense amount of grief. The least you can do is to not allow yourself to get used to this.

I’m rewatching supernatural, and I can’t believe I never realised this before, but sam and dean are the exact opposite of what they think of themselves. In the brothers’ eyes Sam is the more emotionally open one, or the one with more empathy, and yet he struggles to make close relationships that aren’t romantic. He keeps everyone at arms distance: john, mary, bobby, cas, and so many other examples throughout the series. Whereas dean is supposed to be closed off and emotionally stunted, and yet he has deeper connections with almost all recurring characters: garth, jody, donna, claire (obviously the ones mentioned before). He lets people in more easily than sam. Even how he knows all the shopkeepers in lebanon, whereas they don’t seem to know sam (ie 14x13).

Break my heart again 😭😭

I am speaking on behalf of @eslamfa1, who has her own campaign for her and her family so they may survive under the harsh conditions in Gaza. She is very thankful for all the support she's had, but she needs more help.

She has asked me to host a fundraiser for more of her family, namely for her parents and siblings who desperately need funds for food, water, and medical treatment. They have been displaced multiple times and have only been able to contact Eslam through an unreliable internet connection.

Here is their story as written by her sister, Aya:

"Hello friends, we will tell you our sad story

I am Aya, an outstanding high school student. I was very happy to be on the verge of achieving my dream of finishing my school studies and achieving what I aspired to, which is to become a doctor.

My family of 8 and a beautiful cat named Katie were living a beautiful and peaceful life, each of us striving to achieve our dreams.

We had our beautiful house in Khan Yunis. Recently, we were celebrating my sister Heba’s fourth place in the Gaza Strip in the Arabic language recruitment exam. Our life was like material and emotional perfection. We did not feel deprived or lacking anything.

My sister Lina is a university student. Her dream was to become a psychologist to help mentally ill people in the Strip.

My brother Ahmed was the most beautiful gift from God. He came after 20 years of being deprived of male siblings. After completing his studies, he became a water carrier and took on a great responsibility beyond his capacity.

We also had two little butterflies, the apple of the house, and Jana, the favorites of their teachers and friends at school.

Then the war broke out and everything was turned upside down. We were forced to leave the house after quadcopters surrounded us, tanks surrounded us, and we saw death right in front of our eyes, but we miraculously escaped.

We were displaced several times on foot. Feet, then our end was in a tent that did not protect us from the cold of winter or the heat of summer, and there were poisonous insects and scorpions around us, there was no clean water or healthy food, so my family and I got hepatitis and a lot of intestinal infections.

We were shocked that our house was bombed and destroyed and the features of the house disappeared from the face of the earth, so we felt very sad and despair took over us.

Life here in Gaza is expensive, we cannot buy the minimum necessities of life, imagine that the price of a kilo of tomatoes is $50, and the price of a bag of flour is $200, life here is like a famine! My father is a nervous patient and my mother suffers from chronic pressure and they need continuous treatment and medications. We suffer from bringing water from long distances, and from the high prices of food and cleaning materials and water pollution. What we have suffered most in this war is the loss of members of our family, and this is the hardest thing we have been through. We have lost 20 members of our family. Please help us bear the very high cost of living until we evacuate from Gaza and save our lives. The cost per person is $5,000. Help us, you are the only hope left."

These are some of the photos she's managed to receive of some of her family (Aya, Ahmed, Hala, Jana, and their cat) and of the conditions of the areas they've been displaced from and to:

Note: Due to mentioned lack of internet connection, Eslam has not been able to receive more photos yet. There will be more updates to come when, hopefully, more communications are made.

PLEASE DONATE !!!!! Aya, Lina, Ahmed, Hala, jana, and their parents' well beings are at stake! Starting goal is $10,000

There's been a crucial update!

So far, there's only been $1,844 donated to Aya's gofundme, and while we are grateful for what we've re4cieved so far it is neither enough to cover the costs of living in the Khan Younis camp nor is it currently accessible!

gfm has been pausing transfers to many Palestinian relief effort accounts, our own included, despite abiding by their guidelines. Hopefully, I will be able to sort it out soon and unpause transfers but in the meantime I've made an additional fundraiser on the much more Palestinian friendly service Chuffed (As I've heard from Eslam).

Please place donations here for now so that the Gheelans may get the funds they need!!!!

I know I haven't been actively promoting as I should. I cannot find the words that could best convince you, I can only plead. Please.

GOOD NEWS in that gofundme unfroze money transfers!!!! but donations have been waning the last being two days ago

and with the news that the rafah crossing will be opening we need more donations for aya and her family can safely cross!!! And for continued living expenses as well ofc

It's not over yet please don't give up with donating and thank you all so much for all donations and shares so far! ❤️❤️❤️

His campaign has been going very slowly, despite the notes on their original post and being vetted by @gazavetters (#521 on the list). So far, only €2,464 has been raised of the €20K target.

Gaza's suffering is not over, people are still hungry and still displaced. Any help you can give can make a big difference in Ahmed's family's life.

Should I put 10 dollars into food or into education and development in Gaza?

This is a real question, not just theory or philosophy… It’s a question that confronts me every day, and I found myself compelled to answer it clearly.

Today in Gaza, people are hungry… but also, people are lost. There’s a young graduate sitting on the rubble without even a laptop to work on. There’s a university student studying by candlelight, with no internet to continue his education. There’s an engineer who, instead of building, is searching for a box of aid to feed his family.

Do you know what that means? It means the occupation doesn’t want to kill us with bullets; it wants to kill us with ignorance, with helplessness, by turning us into mere people waiting for a bag of flour, waiting for assistance… and that’s the biggest crime against us. Today, we all in Gaza need a bite to eat… but what about tomorrow? Am I going to rely on others for the rest of my life just to survive? And that’s the question that occupies my mind the most!! Or should I be able to provide for myself and my family and rebuild my life?

That’s why, instead of letting the 10 dollars be a meal for one day, let it be an investment in a student who will rise from the rubble, who will learn, and who will be able to provide for his own food forever.

Let it be a share of empowerment, not just so Gaza can survive one more day… but so Gaza can rise, stand, and endure forever.

Help us build a future for the coming days in Gaza.

I am Mahmoud, a computer systems engineer and UI/UX designer.

If you know of job opportunities in companies or with people looking for this field, you can help me find a job. Message me in DM if you need my portfolio or resume.

We are now in the final stages of the campaign. We recently received $25,000, and only $10,000 is left to reach my campaign goal. Support the families of Gaza and also support education.

25,000$ / 35,000$

‏Today's vetted fundraisers

Ahmed Zandah, a young man from northern Gaza, was forced by the war to flee his home to the south in search of safety for his family. In a heartbreaking journey, Ahmed was displaced more than seven times within the southern region, leaving behind everything he had built. But the tragedy didn’t stop there. He found himself trapped amidst destruction, and his home was demolished, shattering his dreams. Now, he endures harsh conditions, struggling to rebuild his life and provide security for his family.

A cry for help from a family besieged in Gaza 🚨🚨
Meet the lobna Al-Sir family

It is a family from Gaza consisting of the husband Ahmed, the wife Lubna, and their children Mohammed, Hassan, and Yazan.

Overnight, rockets and artillery shells rained down on our residential area without any prior warning, forcing us to leave our homes with nothing but our exhausted souls..

This is how the first displacement began until we reached the fifth displacement, and in between them there are indescribable stories of suffering and pain.

At the moment we live in a dilapidated tent that is at risk at the first rain, and the environment we live in is unsanitary and prone to diseases.

Our children are lost, they are deprived of education and entertainment, and they have the right to live their childhood like the children of the world

Let me tell you what my children are living in the tents. My son Mohammed is 11 years old. He is supposed to be in school receiving his lessons, but in this war, because of the viruses, insects and dust, his feet were injured.

Then he got infected with hepatitis, but there are no medications, no nutrition, and no care in the hospitals.

My child, Yazan, who gets this allergy every now and then.

In all his body, it is difficult to provide him with milk and diapers.

My child had a difficult surgery and needs another one when we raise the money for it.

My middle child, Hassan, who is 8 years old, stands in line in the middle of the crowd to get food. In addition to the high prices and the shortage of cleaning materials

The high price of flour, which is considered a basic necessity, and other problems we face.

We ask you to turn this family's story from despair to light.

Support, share. Please do not hesitate

My name is Mahmoud Al-Halaq, from Palestine - Gaza - I am 29 years old. This message is addressed to every person who carries compassion, kindness, and love in their heart. After 470 days of war on Gaza, the destruction that has occurred, the displacement we have faced, moving from one place to another, and the loss and death of loved ones and friends, I found myself alone without a home or place, and even the prices of food are astronomical. The world has changed so much that life has become gloomy and boring. Therefore, I ask for your help in rebuilding myself, my life, and my family's life anew. You are our remaining hope in life. If there were an opportunity to work, I would not waste a minute nor ask for help from anyone, but I urgently need assistance for my family, my children, and the women to rebuild what has been destroyed and crushed in this devastating and painful war. Thank you for your time and support; we draw our strength and resilience from your support. 🍉
