Please help the family of a non-verbal autistic child (who has been losing weight because he only eats certain kinds of food, largely unavailable during this time) leave Gaza!
My senior doctor told me that a Palestinian patient who crossed from Gaza to Egypt came with a complaint about stomach pain. It turned out that because she was starved for so long, her stomach shrunk. So, when she finally got her hands on foods she tried to eat her full, and her stomach couldn't digest it.
My senior told me that she was talking so sincerely about how she wanted to eat so much because she missed food.
Couldn't tell whether I should be glad for her or cry for her
This fundraiser is for my cousin, Ahmed Abdeen; I am a Palestinian living in the US. Here is Ahmed's story in his own words.
โI life in Rafah where I have lived my whole life. I am asking you for support today to be able to buy basic things such as canned food, flour and materials for tents when available. I need these supplies for myself and my family and also everyone in Gaza is my family so as long as I can I need to support everyone else who needs support. I am distributing goods to people who are displaced and living in tents around us. We are living in unimaginable conditions as I am sure that you are aware and we are asking for support.โ
Thank you for taking the time to read this and please consider contributing even if its is only a small amount. This money will be wired directly via our personal bank accounts.

This is a fundraiser from Palestine Asdiqa's linktree, so it has been verified. It is really urgent and has not raised a lot of funds so far (the gofundme is sitting at less than $500 raised as of March 10!) Please support and share.
With your donations, Hussam was able to send another $5000 to help Mahmoud AbuSalama's team to buy food for families in North Gaza (Jabalia)! This is part of Hussam's commitment to lend a hand to the northern part of Gaza. These grassroots efforts has been very helpful to families, filling in the gaps in what governments failed to do.
Donate today to HelpGazaChildren, a grassroots effort in Gaza to help families on the ground! All your donations go directly to the people of Gaza with NO middleman in between.

[ID: A video from Mahmoud AbuSalama showing an array of canned goods and flour. A printed sign of tumblr is behind the canned goods. The camera then pans to different people weighing and putting together packages of food. The subtitles to the video read:
"Hello, friends in Tumblr. We are here in the North of Gaza Strip and as we are used to from you by providing aid and food supplies for north of Gaza Strip. Here, our team prepares food supplies for the families in North of Gaza. As you can see. Good Bless you."]
All the tarp you see are human bodies. How many of those tarp covered bodies didn't make it to see their 18th birthday? How many didn't get to see the 1st birthday of their child? How many didn't get to celebrate retirement? These are human lives being ripped away at an alarming rate.
There should be no reason you can't step outside without seeing a decomposing child, mother, father, grandmother, grandfather, uncle, aunt, brother, sister, friend, or lover.
They had lives and yet they are buried next to the sidewalk? Would you be okay with your loved one being buried next to the sidewalk? No. No you wouldn't.
