Just because I'm from Gaza, does that mean no one will agree to work with me, even on something simple?

As soon as they know (I'm from Gaza),

you'll find they suddenly change their mind and refuse the opportunity to collaborate, whether it's work or a service.

This is what I'm suffering from in my freelance work online. This is all in addition to the fact that the company I used to work for cancelled my contract at the beginning of the war.

That's why I've been forced to ask for your help...

I've honestly stopped saying (that I'm from Gaza)

because I'm afraid that once they know there's a war going on, they'll decide they don't want to work with me anymore.

This situation creates a huge challenge for me, especially with the war starting again. There's a great need for work to cover the exorbitant expenses after the price increases.

Please stand with us, just this once!

We have many talented people who work under the most oppressive conditions in the world, and don't let them become helpless. It's enough that we're being fought against by the whole world.

This is my daughter, Salma, only three months old, born into this "cruel war that has been killing innocent people for two years and is still ongoing." Since her birth, she has felt nothing but fear and hunger, deprived of her most basic rights. She needs food, safety, and a dignified life that every child deserves. Therefore, I appeal to you from the bottom of my heart to support her and extend a helping hand to save her. Your donation today could make a difference in saving her from certain death. Donate here

Mohammed El Shaer

Mohammed Ayesh COMPLETE ✅️

Mona Abu Hamda

Please join me in helping these people.

Mohammed Ayesh's campaign has been completed. The other fundraisers still need support!

It's only too late if you're dead, and you are not dead.

Start HRT

That was the intended subtext yeah, but it's important to remember it for other things too. New hobbies, learning languages, new careers, writing that book, asking out that cute person, etc. There is time. You cannot be too late so long as you still draw breath.

I am so thankful that most of my Palestinian family members have survived, but the fact that some of them didn't (one of whom was a child only fifteen when he died) will weigh on my soul forever. And even through that suffering I know I am fortunate, for many more people have lost their families entirely, and even more have been killed. There isn't anything I can say that hasn't been already said, but please keep Palestinians in your heart in the coming days, and in the years after. Don't forget what has happened.

And I am even more fortunate that my family has the means and connections to rebound after this travesty. Many families do not have this luxury. Consider turning your attentions to those who need urgent help, such as this family, who is not even 20% to their goal.

If you are going to reblog this, I would appreciate it if you didn't tag it with any trigger warnings. Suffering and death of this nature is not something for you to look away from.

My old account was deleted and it had a lot of followers. I worked hard on the account until it became great, but unfortunately it was deleted and I don’t know why. Now, after suffering for 3 weeks with the Internet, I was finally able to create a new account. I hope everyone will participate in spreading my account and donating if you can.

This is my story.👇

My name is Abdullah, a university student, 20 years old. I was forced to leave my home in the north of Gaza and go to the south under bombardment. I lived far from my home for a year and a half. I lived in a tent for 9 months and lived in very difficult conditions in the summer and winter. We suffered a lot, a suffering that I cannot sum up in a few words. There were many nights of fear, cold, and rain.🥶🌧️

Now I will put a picture of myself before the war and a picture after it and the difference will be very, very clear. A picture that will summarize a lot of the suffering that we lived through during the months of the war.

I was a university student and I had spent my first year and I had dreams for the future and I wished to achieve them, but unfortunately the war came and everything was destroyed and my university was destroyed.💔😫

I know it's embarrassing to ask for money this way, but I'm still a young guy who doesn't have a job and hasn't finished college, I hope everyone can help in whatever way they can and thank you all.❤️🫶🏻

6-year-old Joan Al-Habil is has been repeatedly hospitalized due to severe gastrointestinal problems and overwhelming fatigue. This poor girl has been to multiple facilities and seen multiple doctors, undergone extensive testing (as extensive as is possible in Gaza's collapsed medical system), even having to endure an unsedated endoscopy.

She has now been diagnosed with severe gastritis due to starvation and hazardous living conditions. Remember, she and her family are living on the streets, which are cold and wet due to winter rain. Homelessness, stress, exposure to the elements, her previous injury when the lOF firebombed her tent, and malnutrition all conspire to sap little Joan of her strength.

Her condition is so serious that she even had to undergo surgery. Gastritis very rarely requires surgery to treat, so this is an indication of how dire her condition is. The surgery was successful to a degree, but she is going to need ongoing treatment to manage her symptoms.

The treatments are administered weekly and cost $500 USD (just under €500 EUR). Her family has no income and cannot afford this. If Joan goes more than a few days without treatment, her symptoms worsen rapidly, and she sometimes has to be hospitalized. It is vital that we help her family procure her treatments so that her condition does not worsen!

You can help Joan get her surgery and treatment by

Current: €22,271 EUR

New temporary goal: €22,771 EUR

BIG UPDATE

Joan’s grandfather was able to receive a medical evacuation to Egypt. Her father Ahmed has gone with him to support his care.

This leaves a still-sick Joan, her little brother, and her mother alone in north Gaza. Their house was devastated by IOF attacks, and is not suitable for habitation. Especially not for a little girl with a serious chronic illness.

Joan still needs funds to support her ongoing care. Her mother Maha also needs funds to try to meet the family’s needs as best she can, including medical care, food, and Joan’s special dietary needs. The latter will help prevent her condition from getting worse.

Please help her family pay for her treatments and support themselves as much as possible under ongoing genocide.

Current: €25,088 EUR

New temporary goal: €25,588 EUR

answering a couple questions i got on this post since i realized ppl genuinely wanna know:

tl;dr:

the post linked above has examples of how donating to individual families can help a lot. if you want to help more than one family at a time, there are many gazan-led initiatives focusing on rebuilding their infrastructure and distributing aid fairly that are worth donating to instead of large charities that already get the majority of donations.

as i mentioned in the last post: @/careforgaza on twitter is a nonprofit started by gazans, it's been endorsed by multiple palestinian journalists.

the sameer project is a collective organized by diaspora palestinians offering emergency shelter to gazans.

ele elna elak is a project aiming to bring water, food, shelter, etc. to gazans and has been promoted by bisan owda.

and the municipality of gaza itself is fundraising to rebuild water infrastructure.

all of these organizations are active inside gaza right now and are being run by gazans. if anyone knows of other gazan-led mutual aid projects, nonprofits or charities feel free to link them in the notes! hope this helped!

long answers under the cut!

plugging gaza soup kitchen for those with the means to donate! it's another gazan-led initiative currently providing food, water, classes for children, and medical care across the north and south. you can donate through their website or their gofundme, or follow them on instagram for news about their projects

please also consider taking a look at dahnoun mutual aid (instagram link), another ghazzawi-run initiative doing great work using very little funds! they're currently distributing winter clothes for young children, as well as food and water, infant formula, tents, and cash. they've also got a chuffed

The Occupation has systematically destroyed every social infrastructure that makes civil society possible, whether it be healthcare, food systems, or education. They've targeted schools, hospitals, businesses, and every person who supports their community through their profession.

Rana and Ahmed (@ranafam2) are educators from Khan Younis, with Rana as a statistics professor at the Islamic University of Gaza and Ahmed as the principal of his school: both institutions have now been destroyed.

Palestinians have survived occupation for well over a century now, and they will remain steadfast, but they need your support.

Even with the ceasefire, resources are still limited and expensive. The weekly allowance for basic provisions like baby formula and flour is about $1000. Rana is also anticipating additional costs for baby formula, clothes, and natal care as she's eight months pregnant and expecting soon.

Finally with the ceasefire, Rana is hoping to evacuate with her family altogether. The cost of evacuation per person ranges from $5000 to $7000. If Rana gives birth before she can evacuate, that puts the total anticipated cost at $49,000 (5 children, 2 adults).

As of today (1/23), we are at:

$8185/$100,000

$0/$1500 <- Weekly provisions

$0/$2400 <- Daily goal to reach $49,000 in three weeks

Donate here.

I know these are overwhelming numbers, but if every person who shared this post donated $5, we can get them to safety.

really love these two replies in particular

terrible reblog concept so bad they got trapped in the timeloop

I put them in there because they were unfunny

Not that it's anything new, but the "voluntary" in "voluntary migration" really drives home the utter shamelessness of the occupation.

They destroy Gazan homes, hospitals, schools, roads, universities, infrastructure, cut off their water and electricity, then when they have no choice but to escape the hell that was created for them, claim they "voluntarily" chose to leave their land behind and have no right to return.

When Nakba deniers claim that Palestinians "chose" to leave their land, remember this.

Amal's baby daughter, Mariam, has known no childhood outside of surviving this genocide. She will soon be of age to attend school. Last we spoke, she had a very close call during the most recent bombardment. If she wants to give her daughter a chance at normalcy, security, education, and a decent childhood, but those options have been taken away from Gaza, is this voluntary migration?

Mahmoud wants to continue his education. He has been able to scrape by through remote learning online, but every day it becomes harder to even find reliable internet access. Last we spoke, he was trying to pay his fees in time, so that he would be allowed to enroll in this semester. If he wants to pursue his degree, but the conditions in Gaza have made that impossible, is this voluntary migration?

Dr. Anas is a cancer patient. His physical and mental health have been obliterated by this genocide. Last we spoke, he told me that after making some recovery during the ceasefire, he's now back to square one. If he wants to live, to continue his job as a doctor, and to recover from depression, which is impossible to do during bombardment, is this voluntary migration?

Samir is severely injured, and in immediate danger of losing his leg. Last we spoke, his sister told me that the bombardment in their area are more intense than they've ever been. If Samir wants to undergo surgery to save his leg, but there are no such options in Gaza, is this voluntary migration?

Please don't abandon them like our administrations have. They shouldn't have to rely on our generosity, but they must.
