Every mainstream media outlet imaginable wants you to know that Israel has just re-opened the Erez border, thereby allowing aid through it for the first time since October 7. The White House released a statement saying that it’s delighted to hear this news. It’s a great improvement from previous arrangements, reports state.

What they fail to mention is that now 30% of all Palestinian children under 2 in Gaza are malnourished, that the death toll has surpassed 33k, and that the US—the same superpower that’s telling Israel to protect the civilians—has signed off billions in weapons to Israel not even a month ago.

URGENT: PLEASE DONATE, ANY AMOUNT COUNTS. SHARE THIS

Ishaq (isaac.hilles on Instagram) needs help in evacuating his family.

They have been displaced multiple times, and are currently in the unstable middle region of the strip. To ensure the safety of his family, he needs to have $50,000 to cover the border fees.

Ishaq has been a great help to the people in Gaza, risking his life to assist and rescue them. But now, it is him who needs help in the evacuation of 8 people.

Please take the time to read the full story on the link above, and donate what you can. Make sure to reblog and share to whoever you can, as well.

Donations on this fundraiser have been slow, so sharing this is crucial!

Joe Biden has called for an “immediate ceasefire” in Gaza, telling Benjamin Netanyahu that future US support for Israel will depend on it taking concrete action to protect civilians and aid workers. As the two leaders held their first phone call since Israeli airstrikes killed seven employees of the international food charity World Central Kitchen (WCK), Biden issued the strongest US rebuke toward Israel since the start of the conflict. In Thursday’s call, which lasted less than 30 minutes, the US president “made clear the need for Israel to announce and implement a series of specific, concrete and measurable steps to address civilian harm, humanitarian suffering and the safety of aid workers”, the White House said in a statement.

IMPORTANT, Please share and donate if you can! Reblogs very very appreciated.

$4,225/$135,000

This donation has barely been moving. I’ve talked to Farah and she’s told me the funding is slow.

Farah from Gaza and her family had their life turned upside down by the occupation. Their homes were destroyed, and her father’s shop— their only source of income, was bombed as well.

Farah was studying at Al-Azhar University, but that was bombed and destroyed as well. Farah, her brother, and her sister have all had their education cut short due to the occupation.

Every day, the situation gets more urgent— so let’s put our efforts into directly helping the evacuation of Farah and her family. Egyptian border fees cost about $7000 per person to leave Gaza, not counting the living expenses when they get there. So,

If you have the means, please give what you can.

Hitching a Ride

This isn’t really meant to be ship art, I just wanted to draw my main favs/comfort characters being besties. CabTag is a super catchy name and I love it.

I needed to practice with colors while forcing myself to draw, and I found this was the best way to do it. I also rewatched III while drawing (and now I love Cabby even more)
