Another year has come and gone but things have hardly changed in Gaza. Israel has resumed the bombing, targeting civil workers/medics and children, while the world watches and harasses diaspora Palestinians and allies who have protested against the genocide. My friend Siraj in his previous post has said that Palestinians and Gazans do not need prayers. They do nothing for them...what is needed is action and material support. So please do whatever you can to help my friend. Please donate to his Chuffed and if you can't then please boost his fundraiser.
Also I want you to remember that Gofundme is complicit in this genocide! I cannot in good sense call it anything else. They have unfairly deleted thousands of Gazan fundraisers, which are basically the only lifelines for many families; they have also blocked community projects like the Sameer Project from accessing funds ( at least that's what I saw the last time I checked).
I am requesting you to not let this slide. My friend Siraj lost 32k when the fundraising site in their callousness deleted two of his fundraisers back to back without giving any valid reason. So if you have donated in October-December of 2024, and in January of 2025 ( this second fundraiser was run by Siraj's sister Fatima), please ask for a refund. The site has to give back the money by their own policy, as they allow refund requests upto a year. Please help my friend access these lifesaving funds.
