We Are a Family Trying to Survive Under Bombs and Hunger

I'm writing on behalf of my family, from under the rubble of fear, hunger, and war. Life here has turned into a daily struggle for the most basic things: food, water, safety. We have lost almost everything — and what little remains is far beyond our reach.

There’s no bread, no clean water, no electricity. Medicine is a dream.Even when these essentials appear, they come with prices we simply can’t afford. Imagine going to sleep hungry, waking up to explosions, and wondering if you'll survive the day.

We divide a single meal among us like it’s gold. Some days, we have nothing at all. The fear is constant. The hunger is real. But the hardest part is watching those you love suffer and being unable to help.

Please if you can donate, you’re giving us a chance to stay alive. And if you can’t, just share this. Maybe someone else can help.

Your support could mean food, medicine, or just hope.

We are not asking for luxury — we are simply asking for life.

Or

Unfortunately for Nader and his family, these futures have been taken from Gaza. Bullets fly all around them, and the occupation uses aid as a weapon while children starve. My friend Nader @abdalsalam2000 needs our support now to save his family and survive. His campaign is #4 on the gazavetters list, and the need is urgent! If you cannot donate, PLEASE share! https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-nader-alanqar-and-his-family-overcome-this-war-in-gaza

Gaza Fundraiser Requests, 6/20/2025

Below is a list of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip who have reached out to me via my ask-box this past week. I compile these new lists and post them every Friday. I will also share the individual donation posts for added visibility.

A few updates on the state of Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza:

On April 25th, the World Food Program announced that it has completely depleted its food supply, all thanks to Israel’s continued blockade of food, medicine and other basic aid from entering Gaza.

On May 18th, the Israel Defense Forces proudly announced a new offensive called “Operation Gideon’s Chariots.” It was approved on the 5th, and an escalation of bombing and shelling has followed.

As of May 19th, right-wing Israeli PM and genocidaire Benjamin Netanyahu has permitted a trickle of food and aid to enter. However, it’s still nowhere near enough to meet the purposely neglected needs of the populace.

Additionally, as the IDF distributes this meager amount of food, they have also shot and killed at least 80 unarmed Palestinians, and injuring more. Needless to say, this is Israel’s continued use of starvation as a weapon of war, and has been called out as such by humanitarian organizations and human rights experts.

If you’ve noticed a much larger influx of Palestinians asking for your help in your mentions and inboxes lately, this ongoing starvation campaign and Operation Gideon’s Chariots are most likely why.

Palestinians in Gaza still need all of the help they can get to rebuild their lives, as well as heal from the horrific physical and psychological violence inflicted upon them by the Israeli occupation.

Fundraisers that are extremely low on donations (i.e. less than 10% funded) are marked in red. Those whose donations have slowed down are marked in orange.

As you all know I'm a good friend of Mohammad Ayesh ( @moayeshblog ) and I've seen him work tireless to help others at the expense of helping himself and his own interests. From his work with @gaza-evacuation-funds and @ihyaafoundation. And I'd like to advocate for his own fundraiser right now.

The living situation in Gaza is catastrophic and he is no exception. He is still a very young man but he's shouldering the huge responsibility of his family, by going out every single day to find what little food is even available in Gaza to provide for his family. Only 1 kilo of flour is 30 dollars. That's just enough to make around 12 small loaves of bread. And this needs to feed 8 people for a whole day. And that's just a small glimpse of the daily life that Mohammad is living with his whole family.

Mohammad posts regular updates on his blog @moayeshblog so please follow him there where he is posting updates. And most importantly, please check out his fundraiser. He is relying on donations to provide for his whole family and those donations are very very slow at the moment.

i'm writing this on behalf of Hamza, who reached out to ask for help sharing Sami's gofundme. Sami is living in Gaza and fundraising to support his family in extremely difficult circumstances. Here is Hamza's message:

"Protests are increasing, ships are setting out to break the blockade, buses are heading to Gaza to deliver their message, artists are standing in solidarity with Palestine, donors are continuing to help them, and everyone is showing their humanity. What are you waiting for, Tumblr users? Are you waiting for more killing of children? Donate to a people facing genocide and famine. Donate to families who need money to buy what they can live on. Sami's family is dying every day because of the high prices and they cannot buy what will satisfy their hunger. You can donate here to save Sami's family."

Sami's campaign is number 21 (line 26) on the gazavetters verified spreadsheet.

while we're anxiously awaiting news of the Madleen and her crew and petitioning for their safe return, can we amplify our care to the families still living under siege and famine? with no aid entering Gaza, food prices are beyond what anyone can afford without help, and we can give that help to them.

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.

This is a critical time right now in ensuring the ability of Palestinians all over occupied Palestine can communicate with each other and outside. Please donate to Crips for E-Sims Gaza.

reminder that gazafunds is a great website.

each time you load the site, it shows one randomly selected, verified fundraiser that's low on funds.

extremely straightforward, & an easy to remember url. it's my go-to when I'm able to give; removes any room for procrastination or overthinking.

Hello🫂🙋‍♀️,

My name is Saja, I’m 20 years old and I live in Gaza City. I’m married and a mother to a two-year-old child.

Previously, I launched a fundraising campaign with my brother **@jaafar-gaza04**, and we used to share the donations we received to support our family during difficult times😔💔.However, due to the distance between us now, I’ve decided to create my own campaign to help my husband and child, and to provide for our basic needs during these extremely hard days.

After the recent ceasefire was announced, we truly believed the war was finally over and that things would start to get better. Sadly, the war returned with even more force — bringing more destruction, more death, and now, a real **famine**😔😭.We currently have **no food at all** for my baby — not even flour.

My husband is struggling to find any kind of work, but with the current conditions, it's nearly impossible. We have no source of income and no way to provide for our basic needs💔😭.

If you're able to help, please consider donating to my campaign.

Even a small donation can make a **huge difference** in our lives. It can help us buy food for my child and family and bring us a little light in this overwhelming darkness.

Thank you to everyone who supported me in the past — your kindness gave us hope, and I pray you can continue supporting us now.

The reality of being Indigenous in so called Canada

• Indigenous women and girls make up 50% of human trafficking victims, while only making up about 2% of the population.¹

•If the territory of Nunavut was an independent country it would have the highest suicide rate in the world (135 per 100,000, which is 10x the canadian average)²

•Despite Calgary having a fairly low crime rate the Calgary Police kill more people than any other police force in Canada. In 2018 CPS killed more people than the police forces of Winnipeg, Vancouver, Ottawa, Toronto and Edmonton combined. ASIRT, the provincial police watchdog, has never charged an officer for these murders. If you control for population, the rate of civilians killed in Calgary by police is 8 times higher than in New York City. ³

•Between August 30th and December 14th 2024, 15 Indigenous people were killed by police in Canada. 15 people in under 4 months. Because Canada does not collect data on victims of police violence it's difficult to know exact numbers, but it's estimated that Indigenous people make up 16% of police killings, while only making up 4.1% of the population. Indigenous people are killed by police at a rate 10x higher than white canadians.⁴

•28% of people federally incarcerated are Indigenous. This number is as high as 40% in women's prisons. Indigenous women are incarcerated at a rate 12.5x higher than non Indigenous women. ⁵

•29 reserves in Canada are under drinking water advisories. Some of these advisories have been in place for more than 25 years. ⁶

•53.8% of kids in the foster care system are Indigenous. In the province I live in (Alberta) that number is more than 70%. ⁷

• 7% of non Indigenous Canadian children live in poverty. 38% of Indigenous children in Canada live in poverty. ⁷

Canada is not America-lite. Canada is not America's polite northern neighbour. Canada has its own brutal colonial history, and sits on forcibly occupied Indigenous land.

Hello 🙋

My name is Maram, I am 25 years old from Gaza. I dreamed of a peaceful life, spending my life with my husband and my three children... but the war turned this dream into an impossible one 💔😭. We lived through this genocide with all its painful details and we are still suffering from it😭. We were so happy when the ceasefire was announced, and we returned to our homes in northern Gaza after being displaced for a year and a half in a tent in the south of the Gaza Strip. After repairing a small room in our destroyed house, we began to live there and start over. Unfortunately, the war came back, and it was even stronger than before 💔. Now, we have no shelter or source of income. We have used up all our savings during the war. I know I created my campaign very late, but that's because I have no other means to help my family 🙏. I am completely confident and hopeful that someone here will help us as much as they can and save my family in these tough circumstances 😔.

I know how painful and frustrating it is to start over from scratch, but I hope to get any amount for my family 🥺🙏.

So, please, donate to my campaign, even if it's a small amount—it will have a big impact on us 🥺. May God bless you, my friend 🥰❤️.
