My friend @ahmedaldani333 told me today about what they are going through in Gaza recently, as they are going through the most difficult periods of their lives due to the intensification of famine, the intensification of bombing, genocide, massacres, continuous displacement, and living in a tent.

As they have not been able to eat bread for two weeks due to the closure of the crossings and the scarcity of food, flour and food supplies, please donate to Ahmed through the donation link. The campaign is vetted #198 by @gazavetters

🚨UPDATE ON THE HANDALA🚨

The Israeli occupation has just boarded the vessel

The Handala has been live on YouTube and Instagram to update us on the situation. I have transcribed two parts of the livestream bellow (this was before the occupation boarded the vessel).

First transcript begins with a message from the IDF to the Handala. As this was broadcasted through the radio, I was unable to understand the full message, but here you go, transcription of the IDF transmission plus the response from the activists on board:

“… If you do not change your course, the IDF will be forced to respond and take measures. In accordance to international law (…) You will be held accountable for the consequences of your actions and you may be subject to (…)”

“Israeli navi, this is the civilian vessel Handala. Let me give you a lesson in international law. Any blockade that deliberately starves a civilian population is a violation of international law. It is not only that, it is a warcrime. You have no legal authority to enforce an unlawful blockade and as such, you have no authority to use force — to enforce — an unlawful blockade. Therefore we demand that you stand down. You are responsible for the wellbeing of every civilian on board this vessel. As an occupying power in Gaza, you are responsible for the health and wellbeing of the civilian population there. Not only have you disregarded that obligation, but you are actively exterminating the people. You have engineered a famine. You are deliberately starving civilians and children before the eyes of the world. our vessel does not constitute any threat to you. We carry only humanitarian aid. And therefore you have no authority to intercept or otherwise attack our vessel. We demand again that you stand down.”

Second transcript, a few minutes later: the activists aboard the Handala trying to contact the Israeli occupation with the following message (no response came):

“Israeli navi, again, this is Handala. Again, we are a civilian vessel and we are sailing lawfully in international waters where you have no jurisdiction. We are sailing from international waters to Palestinian territorial waters where you have no lawful jurisdiction. Your claim to enforce a maritime blockade is rejected. You have no authority to enforce a blockade that is deliberately starving civilians. Any blockade that starves civilians or has a disproportianal harmful effect on a civilian population is illegal and therefore you have no authority to enforce an illegal blockade and as such you are not permitted to use any kind of force to enforce an illegal blockade. We demand that you stand down. Do not attack this civilian vessel that is carrying only humanitarian aid. Why are you afraid of baby formula and teddy bears that are destined for the children of Gaza? You spew your propaganda about Hamas but this vessel carries food and baby formula for children that your government is deliberately starving. Your blockade is deliberately starving children to death. You have no authority to enforce an illegal blockade. This is a warcrime. You are responsible for the health, wellbeing and safety of all civilians aboard this vessel and any attack on us is a violation of international law which you will be held accountable by the international community. Again, we are a civilian vessel, constitute no threat to you. Do not attack this vessel, do not board our vessel, do not obstruct our path to Gaza. Handala out.”

I have screenrecorded parts of the livestream to make these transcripts, Tumblr will only let me post one video at a time and it takes a while for videos to come online here. Time the crew of the Handala does not have.

All eyes on deck. All eyes on Palestine.

Talk about the Handala, talk about Freedom Floatila. Contact your government and demand the release of the hostages kidnapped in international waters.

My baby is 13 months old.

I no longer search for milk or baby food.

All I want now… is a piece of bread.

With deep shame, pain, and anger… I am hungry.💔

Support the Palestine Charity Kitchen to Feed 300 Families in Northern Gaza

My name is Ahmad Al-Gharabli, and I’m writing to you from northern Gaza, where my family, neighbors, and I are living through the worst humanitarian crisis we have ever experienced.

The siege is suffocating, famine is spreading faster than any disease, and children are going to sleep with empty stomachs, with no promise of food tomorrow. There is no clean water, no fuel, and hardly any medical care. Every day is a struggle for survival.

In the midst of this unbearable reality, my dear friend Abdulsalam and I launched the “Palestine Charity Kitchen” — a grassroots effort to prepare hot meals and food parcels for the most affected families in our community.

🎯 Campaign Goal:

We are currently trying to raise €10,000 to provide food parcels and cooked meals for 300 families in northern Gaza, helping them survive these harsh days.

Your donation will help us provide:

• Basic food items: flour, oil, rice, canned goods, and baby formula (if available)

• Clean drinking water

• Cooking and packaging supplies

• Essential medicines and hygiene items

• Cooking gas or alternative fuel sources (if accessible)

We prepare the meals ourselves and work with our neighbors to distribute them daily as much as we can — but we can’t continue without your support.

Every contribution, no matter how small, can feed a hungry family today. And if you can’t donate, please consider sharing this campaign. Your voice may reach someone who can help.

From hearts full of hope despite the pain, we thank you deeply.

– Ahmad Al-Gharabli & Abdulsalam

His health has deteriorated very, very significantly. He has a bladder hemorrhage and is now in the hospital. The doctors said he needs an urgent operation and they are keeping him there under observation.

Horrifying to think about the impunity of the West. Horrifying to witness Western terrorists dehumanizing whole communities and then audaciously couching it as a necessary stepping stone to peace. A city was continuously bombed and put under seige for over 21 months in the name of Jewish safety, and the West upheld the opinion that this is not a genocide.

[mistyarcana]

I don't know how long this will last, but the situation here in Gaza is getting worse every day after the war between Iran and Israel. I forgot about Gaza. No one talks about us anymore, and the news doesn't mention us. All that is being discussed is Iran, Israel, and America.It's as if they forgot that the main problem is Gaza.

[mistyarcana]

i can't express how frustrating it is that it's been over a year since my friend ibrahim's (@aburakhiaibrahim) fundraiser was made, and he's still not even halfway to his goal. his sister in canada is waiting for him and the rest of their family to be able to come join them (their request for family reunification has been approved) but they cannot do that without submitting biometric information. which they cannot do from gaza, for obvious reasons - it must be done from egypt. they need money to be able to cross the border into egypt so that they can start the process of going to canada and finally, after so long, reaching safety.

the rising food prices in gaza due to israel's illegal, inhumane blockade have made it harder for ibrahim and his family to get through the day, too, because they can't afford food. ibrahim is tired. every time we talk, he tells me how afraid he is. it breaks my heart. he deserves the chance to finish college, to worry about the usual things people his age worry about. his family deserves safety and security, to wake up and not worry about food and if they'll survive the day.

his fundraiser is currently at $14,820 CAD out of their total goal of $30k CAD. if you can donate even the price of your favorite coffee, it would mean a lot to him. please, i'm begging. don't let his family down. if you cannot donate, please share this post. his fundraiser keeps losing traction which is affecting his morale. please, don't let him feel alone.

THE ENTIRE WEST IS BEING PUT UP FOR SALE AND I AM BEGGING YOU TO CALL YOUR SENATORS

Trump’s budget bill has many, many things in it, but buried amongst it is the MILLIONS OF ACRES OF PUBLIC LAND FOR SALE.

This is the entirety of the Arizona state forests, the entire Cascades mountain range. Swathes of pristine desert around the national parks in Utah. On the doorstep of Jackson Hole.

THIS BILL IS BIG, BUT IT CAN BE AMENDED AND ABSOLUTELY MUST NOT PASS AS IS please.

If you have ever enjoyed the wilderness, we stand to lose it all forever.

CALLING your senators - NOT JUST IN THE WEST. ALL SENATORS, is CRUCIAL.

Outdoor alliance has a great resource for reaching out.

I don’t have a huge following but please, everywhere I have ever loved, the forests I grew up playing in, the land I got married on, is all at risk and I am begging.
