Very important update from our friend @moatazart! Please read!!!
Moataz, Mariam, and Maria are SO close to having enough money to rebuild their lives in Egypt! Their paperwork is started and they are preparing for the dangerous journey south. However, the processing fees were extremely high, and consumed all of the money they had set aside for living expenses in Egypt. The goal is now to raise enough money for basic necessities!
If you can give even just a few dollars, it would be an immense help! If every one of our followers gave just $2, or if even half of our followers gave just $4, Moataz’s family would meet their goal!
HERE IS THE DONATION LINK!!! You can also click the link below
PLEASE keep up the momentum! Let’s help this family escape genocide!
‼️DON’T SCROLL‼️Yara (@/Yaraasaberr on twitter) is trying to evacuate Her Mother And Brother Out Of Gaza! Yara’s Mother And Brother went to Gaza for a short visit, only to be trapped in the Genocide! Everything Counts Towards Saving Their Lives so Please Donate What You Can And Share Widely!!!
Hi my friends! My team and I are running the Gaza 5K next month to raise money for the UNRWA which as you all know has had their federal funding suspended recently over bullshit charges, collectively punishing the entire population. We’re really close to our goal and I would dearly appreciate your donating and reblogging! ❤️❤️
Rami Kashoú, a Palestinian designer (and Project Runway alum), is collaborating with HEAL Palestine. If you buy one of the marked items, 100% of the proceeds will go towards providing humanitarian aid for Palestinians.
The Truth about Aid Flowing into Gaza. By Barry Shaw: The View from Israel
As Melanie Phillips aptly put it,
"In the remorseless attempt to demonise Israel, humanitarian aid has become the blood libel of the day."
Israel says there is no limit to the number of aid trucks being allowed into Gaza. The hold-ups at the crossing points are because the UN is struggling to distribute the aid.
That is because it uses the UN’s Palestinian refugee agency UNRWA, which is controlled by Hamas.
Israel's COGAT says that, over the past two weeks, almost 50% more food trucks have entered Gaza than before the start of the war.
On Wednesday, 257 trucks entered. Over the past few days, more than 100 trucks were transferred to the northern part of the Strip. Over the past two weeks, the number of operational bakeries in Gaza doubled from 10 to 20, providing more than 2.5 million breads per day to the population.
From the start of the war, more than 750 packages of humanitarian aid have been delivered by 25 airdrops mounted by an alliance of Israel, the US, the UAE, Egypt, Jordan and France. None from Britain!
The media is showing a deeply biased, deliberately selective, picture of Gaza.
COGAT, which co-ordinates Israeli government activities in Judea, Samaria and Gaza, published a video of Gazans queuing up at a plentiful shawarma stand in Rafah.
Social media footage has shown well-stocked Rafah markets. There have also been videos of Gazans contemptuously throwing air-dropped ready-to-eat meals into the trash.
Hamas hijacks the trucks and steals the food and other supplies, either for itself or to sell to the population on the black market.
On social media, there are videos of aid trucks being commandeered by armed men. There are also videos of Egyptian drivers warning others not to drive aid trucks into Gaza because they are being attacked with rocks hurled through their windscreens, leaving some badly injured and even killed.
This has nothing to do with Israel.
It has everything to do with the impotence of the UN and other international aid organisations that have been in Gaza for decades.
Even US officials are admitting that Hamas is stealing the aid that the Biden administration is falsely accusing Israel of failing to provide.
One senior official told journalists that the problem was with distribution once the 250 to 300 truckloads of assistance got into Gaza. He said: “This is a product of, if you will, commercialisation of the assistance; criminal gangs are taking it, looting it, reselling it. They’ve monetised humanitarian assistance. … The food is there; it’s coming in”.
David Satterfield, the senior US diplomat involved in humanitarian assistance for Gaza, acknowledged that police escorts for aid deliveries include Hamas members, and that Hamas has been using other aid delivery channels to “shape where and to whom assistance goes.”
Israel is being scapegoated for the war crimes of Hamas. Scapegoating the Jews is the consistent and defining motif of antisemitism through the ages.
Israel’s media spokesman Eylon Levy said this week: “We will accept being scapegoated no longer.” Israel isn’t on its knees. The Jews of Britain and America should get up from theirs and publicly tell Cameron and Blinken the same thing.

⬆️ this one is a funding project by the same person, not for Gaza, but for Uyghur muslims; they are persecuted, abused and over one million are being forcefully held in camps by China, another genocide that the media does not touch.
Here’s a book that @khaledbeydoun shares on the subject.
Dr. Sarah Ghalayini, who asked for this video of hers to be shared, is a survivor of the brutal siege on Al Shifa Medical Complex during which she reported, despite her terror, on what was happening. She, like all healthcare workers in Gaza, is the definition of a hero. The support her GoFundMe received seems to have made her father very happy, but just when hope was on the horizon, his life was taken.
This is the pain, the unbearable grief, that Izzr431 inflicts daily. We can’t let ourselves become used to witnessing this grief that our politicians and corporations are complicit in creating. We need to sit with it, and act to stop the source of it.
Go to Dr. Ghalayini’s fundraiser below or @saraaghalayini on IG and show her and her grieving family some love. Go to her profile and post some words of support too.
