We are organizing this page on behalf of a dear friend who is currently in Khan Younis, in Gaza, Palestine. He is currently displaced and sheltering in a tent in a school in Khan Younis after he was forcefully displaced when his home was bombed last month. His family has been displaced many times. His wife is pregnant and him and his children are struggling to survive in all imaginable ways.

We are asking for support for this family to be able to buy food (canned goods, flour) when available. They also would like to pay for some goats that are there to be able to eat them and share them with other families.

This is literally matter of survival. We appreciate your contribution.

Please spread this around if you cannot donate.

Something you don't know is happening right now! Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis surrounded by the Israeli army and its vehicles. There is no Internet to cover what is happening. Carpet bombing everywhere around the hospital... Tens of thousands of people moving randomly with nowhere to go! It's the end of the world! I have never seen anything worse in my life!

The occupation intends to invade Nasser Hospital, the last operating hospital in the Gaza Strip, which contains thousands of displaced people! This is a crime against humanity! What happened in Al-Shifa Hospital, Kamal Adwan and the Indonesian is being repeated on front of the eyes of the world!

Simple things you can do right now to support Gaza if you can't strike by staying home from work/school

queue posts about Palestine to regularly post throughout the week to keep them visible. Check tags like: #strike for gaza, #free gaza, #ceasefire now. I'm going to share posts from Bisan and other Palestinians on instagram.

don't spend money on nonessentials. if you didn't have time to prepare for the strike and still need to get groceries/medicine/etc, get it now to prepare for not spending the rest of the week! striking for even part of the week is better than not participating at all.

read bit.ly/StopGazaGenocide, this is a document put together by the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR) with lots of good information and graphics and link to art you can freely use to spread awareness. There is also a link to email your representatives to urge them to stop supporting the occupation and the email is pre-generated! it took me one minute to send emails!

email your representatives that you are striking for Palestine!

keep talking about Palestine. keep reading about Palestine. keep caring about Palestine. If you make even one person pay attention, you've done good work! keep going!

Do what you can! Doing ANYTHING is better than doing nothing.

My father was martyred by Israel on 10 October 2023 after sacrificing his care in hospital so the injured children could take priority. Today would have been his 60th birthday. He was always selfless, kind, and giving for others. My father gave up everything for me to be able to have a better life, because that is what he always dreamed for me and my sister. The world suffered a great loss when he died, and my heart is always with him and every Palestinian who has lost someone.

In his honour and memory, I would love for anyone who is able to do so to consider donating to The Palestine Children’s Relief Fund.

The PCRF is an amazing organisation that does so much for those in Gaza right now, including helping provide food, water and medicine. You can donate any amount you are able to- there is no minimum! My father would have given his very last cent if he saw the way Palestine was continuing to suffer after over 100 days with this limited aid, so I know celebrating him by helping others is the least he would have wanted.

I saw @parrot-parent do a very successful donation match and I thought it was such a good idea so I will also match all donations up to $500! If you feel comfortable sending me proof of the amount of your donation, I will match it as a donation at the end of February. (My messages are set to mutuals only, but if you donate and we aren’t mutuals if you send an ask with the proof I will make sure to answer it privately.)

“The hair series is an unfinished project that documents, the different types of Black hairstyles and hair types. Black hair is known for its different textures, it known because of the simple fact that it stands out from other hair types. I document the different textures of my friend’s hairstyles to emphasize the difference, the close-up shots give a different perspective. It lets the viewer see the different growth pattern or design structure of the hair type or style.” - By Patricia Ellah
