🇵🇸 save family lost their home ,dreams and everything in Gaza 🇵🇸

This is my home before the war and after the war how it became💔💔💔

Before: After:

💔 I never thought I’d write something like this… But we’ve truly lost everything.

We had a simple home — nothing fancy — but it was ours. Filled with laughter, memories, and years of hard work. Then, in one moment, it was all gone. Our home was bombed. Reduced to rubble.

Since then, we’ve been moving from place to place. No stability. No privacy. No safety. Just trying to survive each day.

We also lost our jobs. Our source of income. Our sense of normal life. We’re not living — we’re barely getting by.

This isn’t easy to share. But we’re asking, with all humility, for your help.

We are asking you with all shame to support and stand by us in these difficult circumstances that everyone knows because we lost our home, our work and any stable source of income. Thank you all.

We have been through many wars before, but this war was not like the ones before it. Our lives were turned upside down. We became displaced from one place to another. We are the Anas family, residents of northern Gaza, specifically in the Shujaiya area. In the first week of the war, we fled our home because everyone considered our home to be in a dangerous area. We moved to the Rimal area, specifically in the middle of Gaza. There, we received the news that our home, which contained all our beautiful memories, was bombed. Suddenly, it was gone!!! Just thinking that your home, which you worked hard on and built from scratch and took a lot of your life, was gone in less than a second ! After a while, we left the sands to the Al-Zawaida area because of the heavy shelling. We stayed there for about two weeks, and then the terrorist army asked us to go to Rafah. We actually fled for the fourth time to Rafah and stayed there for two months, some of the most difficult days of our lives, as there was no way or means to live a normal life. 😔😔

Please, we are in dire need of you and your support. If you cannot donate, you can share☹️❤️🥹

I honestly don't know how she does it, but Mona is still managing the production and distribution of food, bread, and is distributing necessities like water, diapers, and cooking ingredients to displaced people while she herself is displaced. Yes, during a famine. She couldn't have done it without your help from the last donation drive. Donating to these mutual aid funds of groups like Mona's is indispensable help and support right now. You're making a difference. Do not hesitate to donate, every dollar counts! Thank you all for your continued support. P*ypal, Chuffed, Instagram.

(If you live in India or Pakistan and want to donate, contact her through the means listed on her account).

GFM for Mona's family. GFM for Mona's sister and niece.

None of this is possible without Mona and her family's diligence and work. If you would like to send her a thank you note or well wishes, please include it in the replies to this post, in your tags, or in the comments! She always appreciates them ♡

Treating Gaza’s Collective Trauma

After three hundred days of war, the unrwa issued an analysis describing Gaza’s trauma as “chronic and unrelenting”—a collective embodiment of continuous traumatic stress disorder (C.T.S.D.), a condition that stems from living under relentless trauma. Unlike post-traumatic stress disorder, which sets in after a difficult experience, C.T.S.D. is what occurs when there is no end in sight. Gazans have adapted to chronic danger, living in a state of hypervigilance, emotional numbness, and dissociation amid the slow erasure of any imagined future.

The effect on children has been especially catastrophic. By 2024, unicefestimated that almost all of Gaza’s 1.2 million children require urgent mental-health and psychosocial support. Not a single child has been untouched by the war. Many aren’t sleeping, or they wake screaming throughout the night, clinging to their companions in terror. A number of children have developed speech problems. Some reënact bombings with stones, play a game called “air strike,” or act out death.

[...] Alone, displaced, and traumatized, the children who are still alive are extremely psychologically vulnerable. Even before this most recent war, Gaza’s children were already showing signs of strain: a 2022 Save the Children survey found that eighty-four per cent felt fear and seventy-eight per cent lived with grief. In November, 2024, a report by the Community Training Center for Crisis Management found that ninety-six per cent of children living through this war feel that their death is imminent, and nearly half said that they want to die.

It's been about two weeks since Samar was killed by the Israeli occupation. Her husband is left to raise their children without her. This family has been suffering from illness, scarcity, and repeated displacements after the destruction of their home. Helping Mohammed afford food for himself and his children is something that we can tangibly do, even from miles away, that will help take a little bit of the stress out of his situation.

Absolutely disgusting to see Zionist ghouls go on about how the children who died due to starvation in Gaza are "Hamas props" because, to them, they all had underlying medical conditions which negates starvation as cause of death (as if lack of proper nutrition and lack of medicine, both blocked by Israel, isn't what lead to worsening their conditions and their untimely deaths), but it's bewildering how they really, genuinely want everyone to believe that these children are used as props when Israel had literally murdered well over 18,000 children as it is in under two years. At this stage, this genocide cannot be more obvious and these monsters have run out of excuses to try to conceal it a very long time ago, so this is nothing but them putting their dehumanisation of Palestinians at work in order to prolong this campaign of annihilation. Depraved is an understatement.

If you can eat and drink, sleep in a bed, read these words, and have a bank account—you have the power to help. Don’t stay silent. Do something for Gaza today.

[caramelchrispops]

over the weekend, WHO & MSF both released statements the starvation in gaza - nothing new in terms of the big picture, but 2 things stuck with me:

"At the MSF clinic in Gaza City, (...) rates of severe malnutrition in children under five have tripled in the last two weeks alone."

"The crisis is taking a severe toll on pregnant and breastfeeding women. Recent Nutrition Cluster screening data shows that over 40% are severely malnourished. The situation is most critical in the Middle Area, where rates have tripled compared to June, and in Gaza City and Khan Younis, where they have doubled."

amal ashour (@/amal-ashour-now2) & her daughter maryam are in this number; amal an expectant mother & maryam being just 2. made more dangerous by the fact they've already been struggling for over a year with consistent nutrition because of slow fundraising periods. amal's campaign is going through a slowed phase all over again, and the ashours literally cannot afford that right now. please keep donating & sharing what you can & where you can, especially right now when there's at least some attempt to allow more aid to get into the strip

My name is Abdelmajed Elderawi. I am from Gaza. What I write isn't just a story; it's the shattered reality my family and I breathe every single day. My campaign is verified by @gazavetters, my number verified on the list is (#492)

The numbers you hear about Gaza – the thousands killed, the tens of thousands injured, the hundreds of thousands displaced, the near-total destruction – they aren't abstract. They are our neighbors, our streets, our homes. They were my family.

In one horrific moment, a missile strike took everything. It didn't just destroy our family home, the heart of our lives; it erased over 25 souls who made our world whole. My mother. My sister. My older brother, whose death was so complete his very existence was erased from records. His wife. Their three daughters. My uncle, his wife, their sons, their grandchildren. Generations gone. Lives filled with meals shared, laughter echoing, dreams woven together – reduced to dust and unbearable silence.

Somehow, my brother and I survived the rubble that buried our loved ones. We crawled out, not to freedom, but into a Gaza that is now a landscape of ruins, famine stalking its people (as international agencies confirm), and where disease threatens amidst the shattered remnants of a healthcare system. Only a handful of hospitals function partially, medicines are scarce, and clean water is a daily struggle. Over 90% of us are displaced, clinging to existence in tents or the shells of broken buildings.

This is the context of our survival.

My brother and I now carry a weight heavier than the concrete that crushed our home: the responsibility to rebuild something from nothing. For our grieving father. For our surviving siblings. For the memory of those stolen from us. We carry the responsibility to defy the erasure that tried to claim my brother.

Why We Fundraise (Amidst the Ruins):

This fundraiser isn't just about survival (though survival itself is a battle here). It's about defiance. It's about planting a seed of hope in scorched earth. We aim to:

Rebuild our family home: The physical anchor of our shattered family, completely destroyed. A place where our father can find some safety and dignity in his remaining years.

Provide basic support: Ensuring our father and surviving siblings have the essentials to live – food, water, shelter – in a place where these are not guaranteed.

Create a safe space: A haven, however small, where the next generation of our family, those who miraculously survived, might know a sliver of stability and peace instead of constant trauma.

Your Support is Our Lifeline:

We aren't asking for charity; we're asking for a chance to stand again. To reclaim a fragment of the life buried under the rubble. To honor our lost family not just with tears, but with action. To build a future where their memory has a home.

In a place where hope is rationed, your belief in us, your solidarity, is the fuel that keeps us going. Please, if you can, help us rebuild.

Please Share. Please Donate if Possible.

People on twitter have been saying this website is extremely white and tbh its making me very curious what the demographics of this site are (of my own reach anyway) so

DISCLAIMER: Race is a non scientific concept with no exact definitions. It is a social construct primarily characterized by how society treats you and thus this is an imperfect poll. If you feel none of the options here reflect you and your experience I implore you to reblog this with your experience as I am curious about that and want to hear about it.

I denounce this despicable policy that replaces breaking the siege with dropping a carton from the sky. What shame is greater than throwing a sack of flour from a plane onto a starving people while the crossings are closed and the killer roams free?! Airdropped aid is not relief but an insult wrapped in a parachute. Those who toss food from above practice arrogance, not solidarity, washing their hands of our blood with a false humanitarian spectacle. We reject this humiliating scene, and we reject being treated like rats in a testing ground. Whoever wants to help, let them open the way, not throw crumbs. This policy is betrayal cloaked in mercy, as false as the occupier's smile, and as rejected as slow death. We don't want parachutes; we want an end to the siege. - Words of journalist Wadi Abu Al-Saud

The "aid airdrops" on Gaza are the most fucked up piece of theatre.

Today marks the 89th day of the starvation war. I woke up with a dizzy feeling in my head as I had not eaten anything since yesterday morning. My stomach needed its sense of normalcy. 

Food has become a memory. I dream of a big family meal, multiple meals filled with meat and chicken, and I dream of cooking my favorite meal again. I am fed up with empty plates. I am tired, tired of looking at past meals on my photo albums. I long for my past days, when food was a routine, not a matter of bare survival.
