Journalist Siraj Abudayeh ( @siraj0), who lost everything in November 2023, wanted his story to be shared.

After almost two years of genocide, through which he got displaced multiple times, he finally had the chance to return home in the North. Now, once again he faces the danger of artillery shells and bombs and has to evacuate as the area has been marked for attack.

Please donate and boost; do what you can do to help. Chuffed campaign allows you to donate as low as €1 euro. Remember, that food is also scarce and really these campaigns are lifelines for families like Siraj's , where all twenty four members depend on the fundraiser.

Also, credit to Gazan artist Mohammed Al-Haj’s piece from his Displacement series for reference and inspiration in the first panel. The piece speaks volumes to the loss and desolation of such an experience, and it is something that no one can truly fathom unless they have been a victim of it themselves. I highly encourage people to go and support him as well.

For most people, the suffering in Gaza might feel like a distant nightmare.

For us, it’s heartbreakingly close to home.

Over the past seven months of writing these stories, we’ve come to know the people behind them—not just as names or fundraisers, but as people. Real human beings, with hopes, dreams, and aspirations, who are truly suffering.

Real people, whose cries for help are being ignored by a cold and unfeeling world.

While we helplessly watch as the world's first livestreamed genocide unfolds in real time in our phone screens, we check our messages every morning with a mix of dread and hope, praying that the people who we've come to see as friends have survived another long, dark night.

This morning, we heard from Hossam Al-Qazzaz.

Image: We received another update from Hossam this morning, detailing the nightmarish conditions his family is living in while the area they are trapped in is being indiscriminately bombed.

Hossam, his wife Hanan, and their four children—Bashar (9 years), Hani (8 years), Diana (4 years), and Habiba (9 months)—are currently trapped in an area now dangerously close to evacuation zones that are being actively bombed.

Images: Hossam shared the most recent evacuation warning given to the people in the area he and his family are living in. The Al-Qazzaz family is currently in block 111, and the bombings are only getting closer to them.

A few days ago, Hossam messaged us just after a missile strike, telling us he was going to bravely help transport wounded civilians who were calling out for help from the darkness. Today, he wrote again:

“We are fine my friend, but the bombing does not stop at all and it is everywhere. Many, many of our neighbors have been martyred. We have become afraid to leave our place except for extreme necessity.”

Can you imagine raising small children in that kind of fear? Trying to survive when every trip outside could mean death? The family has already survived long nights of bombing, where they didn’t think they’d see the morning. Now, they are holding out in a rapidly shrinking safe zone, surrounded on all sides by loss.

Images: (Top) Hossam Al-Qazzaz and Bashar, Hani, Diana, and Habiba. (Bottom) A recent photo of the children; your donations have made it possible for the family to buy what little food they can find, as famine spreads in Gaza and the prices of basic food items astronomically increase due to supply and demand.

Please, do NOT scroll past this family.

Pray for Hossam, Hanan, and their children.

Please share, and consider donating if you are able to help this family survive, and evacuate to safety when they are able.

You can donate to the Al-Qazzaz family's GoFundMe here:

The Al-Quzzaz family's campaign has been vetted by @gazavetters, and is (#287) on their list of verified fundraising campaigns.

What Mohammed El Kurd said.

I'm Jewish, and unless you're talking about antisemitism *coming from white nationalists/supremacists*, I don't wanna hear it. The term has been so warped to silence and criminalize Palestinians and everyone with a heart who supports their right to exist that it barely has meaning anymore.

I've never felt more welcomed than in Palestinian spaces in part *because* of my position as an antizionist Jewish activist. And it is not OWED me, that generosity of spirit. Palestinians are if anything more understanding of and accepting of Jews than we often are of each other - and considering some Palestinians may never have met a Jewish person who didn't wish them harm, that's a damn miracle.

We’re still starving… Please don’t look away.

This is not just a photo. This is Gaza. This is our reality.

The girl in this image is one of thousands of children in Gaza suffering from severe malnutrition. Her fragile body is a silent scream — a reflection of the hunger, fear, and pain that haunt every corner of our lives.

She could be my daughter. She could be yours.

My name is Fayez, a father of three beautiful children. I live in Gaza, under the unrelenting siege and devastation of war.

Every day, we wake up not knowing if we’ll have food — not even bread or clean water.

The fear of bombs has been replaced by a greater fear: starvation.

I am not afraid to die from the airstrikes anymore. But I am terrified to watch my children die slowly from hunger. To hear them cry at night from empty stomachs, and have nothing to give them — that is a pain no parent should ever bear.

Please, I am begging you — if you are reading this, help me feed my children. Help save their lives. Any donation, no matter how small, can mean a meal, a lifeline, a moment of hope.

Please Donate now:👇👇 👇

💔 Don’t look away. Help us survive.
