"Under the Cloud of Starvation"

Samah is a mother in Gaza with three very young children. She and her husband are trying to care for them under the constant threats of occupation and famine. The starvation in the Strip has reached unimaginable levels. Little to no aid is getting to the people, and going to aid centers often means risking being shot by occupation soldiers. Food from other places, when it can be found, is unbelievably expensive.

Please share their story, and donate if you can. Their campaign is vetted by Bilal-Sala7, #7 on the list.

ALSO. I FUCKING LOVE HUNGER EMBARASSEMENT. I FUCKING LOVE THE VULNERABILITY OF SOMEONE'S STOMACH LETTING KNOW THEY'RE ALL EMPTY AND NEEDY FOR SOME GOOD FOOD. I LOVE THE CONCEPT OF A GUY TRYING TO FLIRT PUTTING ON A COOL SUAVE PERSONA ONLY FOR IT TO BE RUINED BY THEIR STOMACH'S COMPLAINS. AND QUICKLY SWITCH UP TO A FLUSTERED MESS HUGGING THEIR MIDDLE TRYING TO MUFFLE THE NOISE AAAAAUHG.

I think it was about a month into dating my betrothed that I first turned to them and said, “You smell hungry, want to get some lunch?”

“I what? I smell hungry?”

“Yeah, like, the empty smell. Aren’t you hungry?”

They were, but it was hard for them to accept smelling a state of being. After a few weeks of me pointing it out right before they realized it themself though they asked, “What does hunger smell like?”

“Bad.”

“That’s not helpful.”

“It’s like… an emptiness that goes past the mouth? Bad breath is more upfront but hunger is like you’re smelling stomach acid, it’s all the way from an empty belly.”

They started smelling my mouth in exaggerated silly fashion but eventually they did start to recognize it.

They’re now very smug when they get to use the skill back at me and inform me that I’m hungry.

You realize that without this, there will be hardly any protein, right?

Reminder: We have so much extra money that we have wasted 18.2 million dollars on Trump's golf outing as of last week. Why is that a better use of taxpayer money then helping farmers and feeding people?

Help Khetam and her family - NO DONATIONS FOR EIGHT DAYS 🍉🍉

The situation in Gaza is apocalyptic. Especially in North Gaza, people are starving. There is no food, litterally no food is entering the North. The blockade never ended, aid only trickled in through the Gaza "Humanitarian" Foundation where 700+ civillians were exterminated, just trying to find food for their families.

People are being killed, murderered in the dozens per day, just trying to find food for their families. But they are pushed to these humiliating measures why? Because they are starving. And people aren't bothered to lift a finger to share or donate to their fundraisers.

Because of people not donating, people are dying and being forced to risk their lives.

Food prices in Gaza are insane, a bag of flour can cost hundreds, bread can cost hundreds - and there's no way to cook. There's no fuel, no nothing. All in attempts to move Gaza's population to the south, and ethnically cleanse them.

Please, help Khetam and her family in the North, they haven't eaten, and the last donation has been eight days ago.

Let me remind you that supporting fundraisers can actually help people eat, and survive. I'm not being dramatic when I say it's their lifeline.

Ignoring Gazans will kill them. Donate. And if you don't have the funds, post or share. It's not hard. We cannot fathom their lives, their suffering, the sheer humiliation of displacement, ethnic cleansing and genocide.

Khetam ( @familykhetam3 ) is a young woman from Gaza, her entire life was destroyed, and she worries for the saftey of the elders and children in her family due to the hellish conditions.

" Hello my friends it is very important to consider my children's situation they need your help more than ever we do not have money to buy food and water it is difficult to get milk for my child he has not stopped crying a whole day he sleeps he is hungry please help my child Mohammed he has not drunk milk for more than two weeks my family and I live our life is very difficult please contribute to help my children and do not stop donating and sharing with our family your donation saves our lives please help us. "

Imagine a child not drinking milk for two weeks. This is reality in Gaza. Children, nobody gets the vitamins or nutrition they need. Help Khetam buy food and milk.

Mmmm robot tummy. I really like the idea of a robot having some hunger/fuel bar-indicator. Like a literal visual indicator that shows on some part of their body. Tummy idealy but could be anywhere. And ofc, when they have an empty stomach they can't hide the way it growls, but this is even worse because it's some mechanism purposelly added to let the world know they're hungry and empty. It's so obvious and annoyingly flashy and can't be ignored. It practically screams out "I'M HUNGRY PLEASE FEED ME NOW" and doesn't fucking stop untill they've been propperly fed and sated. And it's very embarassing for most.

We are dying of hunger people

Your wealth will not decrease, and your lives will not stop if you donate to me. The least you can do is donate. Don't wait for us to die of hunger. You might save a soul that is about to die of hunger. Wake up from your slumber and stand by us.

نموت جوعا يا عالم

مالكم لن ينقص ، وحياتكم لن تتوقف إذا تبرعتم لي

أقل ما يمكنك تبرع به لا تنتظر أن نموت من الجوع , قد تنقذ روحا تكاد تموت من الجوع

استيقظوا من نومكم وقفوا بجانبنا

 “In the finished product, you’ll hardly notice a difference between the pangs of starvation and the pleasant feeling of satiation that comes from necessary, balanced nutrition. It’s also vegan, cost-effective, and much lower in cholesterol compared to a typical egg-based dish. Note that two hours of a painfully empty stomach is roughly equal to one egg, though, so you’ll likely need to suffer at a two-to-one ratio per lack of egg.” USDA officials added that many people found imagining eating an egg far more flavorful than substituting with egg whites.

I was really hungry, so I decided to eat my favorite pair of gloves. They were made of wool so their texture was kinda yucky, and the taste was odd, but it was also surprisingly not a bad snack.

But then I realised that was my only functional pair of gloves, that I bought specifically for winter, and I just ate them on a whim, and that made me sad.
