Gaza Shelter Tents and Evacuation/ HELP PALESTINIAN FAMILY DURING THIS MASSACRE | GoGetFunding
Dear followers, Edward Smith (@edwordsmyth )and I recently set up a fundraiser for a dear friend in Khan Younis, Gaza Strip. Fadi SJ Bou Salman's family desperately needs 5 shelter tents, and money to get through the Rafah border into Egypt and safety. Please reblog, donate and boost as much as you're can. This is very important. Everything is deteriorating dangerously in Gaza, and we worry for their lives continuously.
Please read here: "Hello world, in light of the catastrophic conditions experienced by the displaced in the Gaza Strip... I have a friend named Fadi in Gaza, he and his family are displaced due to brutal and continuous bombing which has destroyed their home and neighborhood. Fadi and his family urgently need to establish 5 shelter tents in order to protect their children (including one baby only just born in November) from the extreme cold and harsh weather in light of the lack of capabilities at UNRWA. Due to the supply shortage and blocking of aid from reaching Gaza, the cost of one shelter tent with all its needs is $400. They also require money for evacuation from Gaza and transport to safety, because nowhere is safe for them inside Gaza. Soldiers, tanks, explosions, and gunfire are always near, and the only safety for them and their children is in exiting the strip. This will require money to pay for entry into Egypt via the Rafah border crossing. As well as funds to cover transportation to a new city where they can have a new life and new beginning far from this war.
Fadi and his family are saying: This is an emergency. Please donate. Please hear us, let us live, and help us reach this goal."
Thank you for any support you show ❤️ Free Palestine!
Everything will be paid into their PayPal account.
Fadi shared today this video from near their home:
Reminder that communications in all of Gaza have been cut off for the past three days. This means no one can make calls to check on family members within Gaza or to report and call for help/ambulances following Israeli airstrikes. As a result, many end up dying due to injuries or being trapped under the rubble with no possible way of notifying anyone. Of course this also goes hand in hand with Israel intensifying their bombardment of every part of Gaza after having isolated it from the world.
You can help by purchasing e-sims. I will share a long post with all the details and instructions shortly and you can also Venmo smaller amounts if you're unable to buy a whole bundle so that bigger plans can be bought for families.
The #ConnectingGaza campaign supplies E-Sims to people on the ground in Gaza, allowing them to circumvent internet disruption/blackout during the siege and continue connecting with the wider internet. A digital SIM card (called an e-SIMs) works the same as a physical SIM Card, providing data and SMS for a phone number. E-Sims are one of few resources that can be directly accessed without blockage by people on the ground in Gaza.
Artists will be offering art in exchange of the value of the donated e-SIMs. Visit https://cartoonist.coop/esims4gaza to learn more.
