I NEED HELP— sustaining funding for food & essentials while the Israeli blockade of aid continues. If 250 people would sign up for a recurring donation of $10 a week until this nightmare ends then I would be able to continue to feed 64 family members in Gaza without interruption.…
We had great success with an in person fundraiser at a local sympathetic church. We showed a short film and talked about the families we were helping. We raised $7k in our pretty small southern city.
They are kidnapping WHO staff in Gaza & taking them hostage.
BREAKING: Israel storms the World Health Organisation building in Gaza, seizing Hostages After storming the WHO’s staff residency building in Deir Al-Balah, Israeli militants took four hostages. They also assaulted the families of WHO staff, stripping, interrogating & binding…
I have been considering organizing a bike ride and asking people to pledge a small amount of money per mile. I plan on riding at least 100, with the goal being 200 (one day). I’d be riding through Ohio with a Palestinian flag and would provide live updates
🙏🏽Please share any ideas, outreach strategies, messaging, events, etc. that you can. 🙏🏽
We know fundraising has been hard and the need in Gaza is so great! But, direct mutual aid continues to be the most impactful thing most of us can do to materially help when systems have failed. We are putting together a list of fundraising ideas to help people who have been…
My cousin’s husband @moh7asaad in Gaza and is collecting donations to redistribute water to people who cannot afford to buy it. 👇🏽
Wallet address @el_sabawi @sophiaponders @gazafunds
Therefore, being in Gaza and in the IDP camps, I decided to launch an initiative to provide drinking water So I decided to collect donations to save the price of this water, whoever wanted to contribute will collect donations through digital currencies
To all the people who care about our humanitarian cause, we are being subjected these days to the most terrible wars throughout history The war of starvation and thirst imposed by the whole world without exception
You see a bunch of starving people rushing towards food. What is the first thing you tell your platoon when you know they are being recorded? A) “I’m glad people found the food!” B) “wow, so many starving people and so little food, this feels wrong” C) “don’t shoot them!!”
When you look past the headlines and Hamas’ lies, the truth is clear: Israel is not at war with the people of Gaza. Today, many civilians advance toward the soldiers, the only order given to our troops is: do not engage, do not shoot. Watch the encounter:
NEW: Since 4 Toronto safe consumption sites were forced to close, the number of overdoses per week at Metropolitan United Church has gone from 1 to as many as 6. "It's just carnage all the time. I feel like I’m staring at a bad motor vehicle accident.’ torontotoday.ca/local/health/c…
28 trucks per day means 175 grams (6 ounces) of food per person per day This is LESS THAN 15% of what prisoners got in Stalin's GULAG CONCENTRATION CAMPS!
EU’s @kajakallas says there’s been “some good signs” in aid access to Gaza. But for NRC and many others, no relief has entered for 142 days. Not one truck. Not one delivery. For the few actors allowed to bring in limited supplies, the UN reports that from 19 May to 14 July, an…
I can’t believe we have just watch this happen and no one will stop it. I am still shocked by how many people are okay with starving children.
6000 UN aid trucks sitting at the gates 6000!!! Enough to feed the population of Gaza for 3 MONTHS! The ONLY thing blocking access is Israeli cruelty & sadism. The Israeli leaders & army are the most evil people known to humankind. RAM THE GATES DOWN!!!
Is there not a single Arab leader left with a shred of honour who can stop this genocide in Gaza? Not one? Where is your dignity? Where is your shame? The children of Gaza are dying of hunger, and you still hesitate? We need new leaders. We need new nations. We have disgraced…
Gaza is in Phase 5 starvation — the deadliest stage. 2.3 million people, half of them children, are facing irreversible body damage from multi-organ failure, brain damage, and sudden death from hunger. This isn’t a warning. It’s happening — now. Without immediate aid, mass…
They spent all this time yelling at us to stop calling it a “famine” because it was only at phase 3, then phase 4. Well—
Gaza is officially in IPC Phase 5, the final, stage of hunger. They are starving to death. Aid sits at the border, deliberately blockaded by Israel If people don’t care now, they never will. In the fullness of time no one will understand how anybody could be OK with this.
BREAKING: The Israeli government is funding trips for 16 MAGA social media influencers with massive followings, flying them to Israel to train on how to prevent American youth from turning against the country.
