The Sameer Project campaign in the South Gaza needs your support

Their campaign needs about $3,600 to $5,000 every day just to cook 250 meals and prepare 10 pots of lentils or bulgur. Medical work adds another $5,000 every 10 days. Now, water trucks are becoming a top priority—but those come with a hefty price tag too. On top of it all, they have to hire a lot of labor, which has to be paid in cash.

They need to reach at least $10,000 a day for the South campaign to provide some of each of those. Please donate today and share with your family and friends:

Other ways to donate include:

Every day I am overwhelmed by the way almost everyone in the global north redefines health away from collective survival and toward promotion of individualism and eugenics.

People will talk about "hygiene" and they mean extensive skin care routines and cosmetics instead of preventing the spread of contagious diseases through requiring structural renovations for better ventilation of workplaces, schools, & public spaces and universal healthcare that includes easy, accessible, free testing & vaccinations.

People will talk about "nutrition" and they mean promoting expensive, restrictive diets dependent on imperial food systems and the promotion of anti-fat and anti-black policies, instead of doing anything to prevent the widespread nutrient deficiencies caused by our government's deliberate, ongoing starvation of Palestinian people.

YOUNG MOTHER’S LIFE AT RISK‼️

UPDATED SUNDAY 6 JULY 2025

As discussed previously, widowed mother Bshaer has contracted a horrible infection due to drinking water contaminated by the IOF invasion. The infection is aggressive and advancing rapidly. Any day now the infection may spread to her brain, which would almost certainly be fatal.

She currently needs $700 usd to pay for her next round of medication, and the needles she needs to administer it. WITHOUT THESE ANTIBIOTICS, BSHAER WILL DIE.

Please donate anything you can, and share the family's GFM and Chuffed campaigns across all your social media accounts!!

Current: $58,178 out of $58,878 usd

Need to raise: $700 usd

I'm visiting some dear friends of mine this week, and all of us have at least one disability. While we were eating breakfast this morning we were discussing the impact medication has on our lives.

I was sharing how difficult everything was for me when I had moved to a new city where the cost of housing was much more expensive and I couldn't afford medication. Over the course of the year, my energy deteriorated rapidly. First I couldn't keep up with my job, then I couldn't keep up with housework, then I couldn't keep up with basic hygiene, and eventually even chewing and swallowing became difficult. Sometimes walking to the train, I thought about lying down on the side of the road and how long it would take before a cop would force me to move. I wanted to die but I didn't even have the energy to figure out how.

My friend asked me if I had chronic fatigue. I don't know, because I was never diagnosed. I don't claim it because right now I'm very functional. I can keep up with hygiene, cook, clean, do work, and even exercise! But this is only possible from the combination of four different medications. Right now, I am extremely fortunate in that I have much of my medical expenses covered by my wife's health insurance that she has through work. I pay $415 USD every month for these things I need. I can never take this for granted because I know so vividly how difficult it is to survive without them.

Answer these questions to yourself:

Have you ever been unable to access education because of trauma or poverty?

Have you ever lost someone you love to state violence (police, military, etc.)?

Have you ever struggled to provide care for loved ones when you, too, were struggling?

Have you ever faced months of food insecurity and realized there were no social nets that could catch you as you starved?

If you have never experienced these situations, please recognize the incredible privilege and luck you hold, and keep reading. If you have experienced any of these situations, please hold on to your empathy for this kind of despair, and keep reading.

My friend Mahrah Balousha (@mahrahpalestine) is living all of these experiences at once.

She can no longer afford fees to attend Al-Azhar University where she was pursuing a degree in engineering. She is enduring constant trauma. Just yesterday, Israeli occupation targeted a place just a few meters away, and saw the body of a pregnant woman who had just been brutally murdered. Who gets to access education? She is brilliant and she is not allowed to flourish because ethno-nationalists have decided nothing a Palestinian woman could ever accomplish is worth more than their own power.

Her eldest brother, who provided the most care and support to her father, was killed by Israeli military. She grieves his loss every day.

Mahrah and her brother Mahmoud (@palestinian95) are doing everything they can to care for their elderly parents and their young nephews.

Israel has constructed a famine in Gaza as a tactic of genocide, and the artificial scarcity of food has driven the prices up to insurmountable heights. The only existing aid is lethal to access, as Israeli snipers use aid distribution sites to massacre families seeking food.

To protect each other from this horrific fate, Mahrah and Mahmoud are trying to avoid aid sites and use campaign funds to buy food at the markets for their family.

The Balousha family is surviving week to week on the donations that come through this fundraiser. Any donation offers immediate and vital relief from nightmarish starvation and famine.

Their family fundraiser has been vetted by 90-ghost and shared by fairuzfan.

Please, please donate funds to the Balousha family.

I went through the most difficult five days of my life. I really suffered a lot in these five days. I will tell you some of the suffering from them.

Coming on here to say that I'm not going to be very active on this blog for a while now because of personal issues. Please continue to support Gaza fundraisers, check out sameer project, and donate if you have a couple dollars to spare.

Check out my friends and these tumblr blogs that share campaigns:

Israel has bombed the last remaining main fibre-optic route, thereby cutting off the majority of the Gaza Strip from having an internet access. Right now only those who have esims, will be able to come online and that too only for a limited amount of time. The updates coming in from Gaza now is going to be sparser, so I encourage everyone to diligently keep an eye out on updates. Also please keep circulating and donating to personal fundraisers. It has been two days since I last spoke to me friend, the journalist, Siraj Abudayeh ( @siraj0 ). The last time we spoke his primary concern was if he would be able to afford even a single bag of flour to feed all the twenty three members of his family. I would request you to not forget about him, and of other Gazan families who have been using social media as a primary tool to survive through this genocide. It is very important, that in a situation like this, we who have access to the Internet and hence to the whole wide world, keep boosting and campaigning for the fundraisers.

Donate to Siraj Abudayeh

I'm making another post to bring attention to a fundraiser that has been extremely slow in receiving donations, and has very very few donations. As of me writing this post, they have not received a donation in 5 days.

Jamal could also use some help in anybody else willing to adopt his fundraiser: that is, to make posts bringing attention to his fundraiser every so often and remain in contact with him, his blog is @jamal-aldahdouh. He only has a couple people helping him and regularly doing this. If not, I ask that people please give attention to this fundraiser and reblog it whenever you see it, and maybe even tag others in the post.

A final signal. Gaza is completely cut off from the world—no internet, no connection—and Israel is blocking every attempt to reconnect, targeting anyone who tries. Now Iran is being bombed and the region stands on the brink of explosion while we remain trapped in deadly silence. If this message reaches you, it may be our last chance. Help us secure a safe home and education for our children❤️‍🩹 Don’t let Gaza disappear in silence.

[sicklyglow]

Just yesterday I made a post about Israel cutting off Gaza from the rest of the world by destroying its last remaining fibre cable. Today Israel cut off the whole West Bank and placed it on total lockdown, sealing it off with barriers and metal gates with no way in or out. It's all the same policy of isolation. Now you're aware of it. Talk about it.

This is a critical time right now in ensuring the ability of Palestinians all over occupied Palestine can communicate with each other and outside. Please donate to Crips for E-Sims Gaza.
