When the prestigious Michelin Guide unveiled its 2024 Tokyo edition in December last year, we noticed that our beloved city was awarded 23 fewer stars than the previous year. On closer inspection, we found that all three of Tokyo’s Michelin-starred ramen restaurants lost their one-star status in the 2024 guide This means there currently isn’t a single Michelin-starred ramen in Tokyo – or the world, for that matter.

dear moots/lovely lurkers,

allow me to introduce you once again to the ayyad's. they are a wonderful family of 8. all of them led beautiful, rich lives-- here are some of their stories:

"I am Asmaa from Gaza-- a lawyer and a graduate of Palestine University... I am 25 years old... I have also been living far away from my fiancé for two years, I cannot reach him because of the increase in the coordination price and the closure of the crossings and borders." "My name is Israa from Gaza. I have always dreamed of becoming a doctor after I finish high school, but what happened in this war, the destruction of schools and universities, the suspension of education because of the war, and the death of many students, made me a girl who lost her passion and only wanted to end the war on the Gaza Strip." "Hello, I am Sama from Gaza... I am 15 years old... I was studying middle school and my educational career stopped completely here in Gaza, our life stopped completely." (the following excerpts were pieced together from posts/messages from asmaa and her younger sisters- israa and sama)

their family has been displaced numerous times. lost friends and loved ones. they don't live through the days- they survive them. no one should suffer through this immense pain on their own. there is power in numbers. please do your part by sharing/donating if you have the means

sorry if you've already been asked this or have talked about this on your blog before, but are you still working on spreadsheetsnatural? it's ok if you aren't, I'm just obsessed with the market research lol it's given me permanent brainrot

kind of?? i ended up taking a turn down the left fork of the supernatural rabbit hole and ended up in dabbnatural/late seasons hyperfixation which also comes with spreadsheets. i don't know how much of it would be of interest to ppl tbh... it's just a lot of timeline events and source citation links. at this point i can remember most of it off the top of my head but i like to keep a quick reference.

STARVATION EATS AT GAZA'S CHILDREN AS ISRAELI OCCUPATION CONTINUES IT'S GENOCIDE

📹 The 9-year-old child, Muhammad Kloub, dies in Al-Aqsa Martyr's Hospital in Deir al-Balah, in the central Gaza Strip, as result of the Israeli occupation's ongoing starvation campaign by its closure of the Rafah and Karm Abu Salem border crossings.

The Zionist army has physically burned down the Palestinian side of the Rafah border crossing, rendering the structure and facilities useless to prevent food from entering the Gaza Strip.

This is prob the work of art up I am proudest of. It's a coherent story (at least in my mind) over the course of an hour and change, to music that started the whole creative ball of wax (notwithstanding Tulum).

Voices from Beneath the Rubble: A Life Suspended in Gaza

Rebuilding Lives: A Family's Struggle and Need for Support in Post-War Gaza

In the heart of Gaza, a once-thriving family now grapples with the harsh realities of war. Mohammed Alanqer, a dedicated engineer, had built a promising technology startup that was the cornerstone of his family’s livelihood. However, the war has left his business in ruins, and his family displaced, facing severe financial and health challenges.

The Impact of War on Livelihood and Education

The destruction of Mohammed's startup has stripped the family of their primary source of income. This loss is compounded by the closure of schools in Gaza, depriving their children, Layan, Sarah, and Adam, of their right to education. With the educational institutions in disarray, the children’s future remains uncertain, threatening to deepen the cycle of poverty and instability.

Health and Safety Concerns

The war has not only affected their financial stability but also put the family's health at risk. The destruction of hospitals has left Mohammed's wife, Enas Majed, in a precarious situation, particularly during her pregnancy with their youngest child, Amir. The family also struggles with medical conditions, including their son Adam’s battle with viral hepatitis and other illnesses like measles, which have become prevalent due to the lack of proper healthcare facilities.

The Urgent Need for Support

The family has been forced to flee their home multiple times, living in constant fear and without basic necessities such as clean clothes and adequate food. Their situation has become increasingly desperate, with the cost of escaping to a safer environment being prohibitively high. The financial burden of crossing borders, estimated at $5000 per adult and $2500 per child, is beyond their means.

A Call for Help

Mohammed and his family urgently need support to overcome these challenges. The total estimated costs for providing education, housing, and essential needs amount to between 27,817 and 42,485 euros annually. This includes:

- Education Costs: 11,817 - 18,485 euros per year

- Housing Costs: 12,000 - 18,000 euros per year

- Basic Needs: 4,000 - 6,000 euros per year

This financial assistance would enable the family to secure a stable and safe environment, ensure the children’s return to education, and provide the necessary healthcare to overcome their current difficulties.

Conclusion

The story of Mohammed Alanqer’s family is a testament to the resilience and determination to survive in the face of unimaginable adversity. However, their journey cannot be completed without external support. By contributing to their cause, you can help rebuild a future where Mohammed’s children can grow up in safety, pursue their education, and live with dignity.

Hello everyone,

I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your incredible support. Thanks to your generous donations, we’ve reached €50,000! 🙏💙 This is a huge milestone, and every contribution has made a big difference in helping my family during these tough times.

However, with the current situation, I’ve realized that €50,000 won’t be enough to cover all the expenses. It turns out that around €40,000 will go towards coordinating the Rafah border crossing, including the transfer fees. Additionally, we didn't anticipate that the Rafah border closure would last this long. With prices in North Gaza being 300% higher than usual, my family desperately needs help to cover their daily needs.

I’ve already sent some money to my family, but we face a 35% transfer fee on each amount. For example, I sent them €5,000, but I had to pay around €2,000 in fees to get it to them. These fees are making things even more difficult.

For this reason, I’ve decided to raise the campaign goal to €70k. This increase will also account for GoFundMe’s fee, which is around €2k. The remaining amount will be allocated as follows:€8k will be used to cover my family’s current needs in Gaza during the ongoing border closure.

€10k will be set aside for their exit from Gaza to Egypt once the Rafah crossing opens.

Additionally, there will be transfer fees for moving the funds, which will further reduce the amount received by my family.

Once again, thank you all for your continued support. Your generosity means the world to us, and we hope we can continue this momentum to ensure a safer and better future for my family.

🚨Help save a life🚨

I am Asmaa Ayyad, 25 years old, from Gaza. I lost about 15 kilos of my weight because of the war, the lack of food and water, and the closure of crossings and borders. When food is available, we cannot buy it because its price is abnormal and expensive. This applies to all members of my family.😭💔

Please help me and my family to get out of Gaza as soon as possible when Rafah crossing opens.💔

Please donate, share or reblog.🙏

moots/lovely lurkers- lend me your ears (or eyes- y'all get it) and allow asmaa to introduce herself in her own words:

"hello I hope my message reaches you well i am asmaa ayyad from gaza, specifically khan yunis, i am 25 years old, i am trying to save me and my family from the war of extermination that is happening now (a/n: asmaa graduated from the university of palestine in 2021 and went on to study/train to become a practicing lawyer) we lost our home, our friends and some of our relatives, I have also been living far away from my fiancé for two years, I cannot reach him because of the increase in the coordination price and the closure of the crossings and borders (a/n: asmaa lists feras_lbrahim in her insta bio as her fiancé) please i want you to help me by publishing for me and standing by my side, as i am now struggling alone to save an entire family i wanted to contact @/90-ghost but he does not respond to me (a/n: since asmaa sent me this message, 90-ghost has been able to get in touch/share her posts) i would be very grateful to you if you helped me"

asmaa's family consists of 8 members- all of whom led beautiful lives prior to the war. asmaa's older brother, dia, was looking forward to his own wedding. instead of experiencing such a joyous day, his life was shattered after his home was destroyed by the israeli army.

to lose a home- all your valuable possessions- your memories- in an instant is something that cannot be fully understood unless you've gone through it yourself. in asmaa's own words (read & share full post here):

"in addition to the pain, oppression and suffering that displacement causes us, there is a material aspect that no one talks about or mentions or mentions in the media. every place we move from to a new place requires transportation from 1,500 to 2,000 shekels... and despite this amount, you cannot transport all your belongings. this is in addition to the costs of setting up the tent again and trying to return what you lost of your things and belongings. displacement kills us more than death, it drains our health, our money and everything we own... displacement is another war that is harsher than this war of starvation and extermination... displacement is a hidden killer. how many people have been martyred because they do not have the price of displacement? the price that saves them from death! how many people have lost their dignity because of it?! oh god, have mercy on us and our situation 🙏💔"

asmaa's family has already lost so much- friends, loved ones, their cat, timur. they are living in a nightmare they cannot wake up from. the decision to evacuate is not an easy one to make nor is it one for the rest of us to scrutinize. it's what asmaa + her family have decided is the best path forward

please support my friend however you can-- the smallest actions can make the biggest impact

if all you can do is share- then share. follow asmaa to get the most up to date news regarding her family. tell someone you know about asmaa's story. allow others who may be able to contribute more find asmaa so her family may get to safety
