As the summer heat simmers down, many Palestinians are preparing for winter. It is coming! They have mentioned how it will rain and they are worried the heavy rainfall will overflow the streets as the sewage system has been destroyed. This mean their tents can get flooded! Their living space would be compromised and their chances to catch a virus will only increase! ! !

Mohammed Al-Habil (@alhabil) informs that he wants to purchase a new tent, winter jackets, and warm blankets for his family. His family consists of his wife, Aya, his 3 young children, Ahmed (8), Mira (4), and Osama (6), and his elderly parents who are chronically ill. So it's imperative they are ready for the cold, especially since his kids suffer from scabies, the skin rash that has spread from the polluted water, while his both of his parents are in dire need of their medication and insulin for their blood pressure and diabetes!

So let's help him, please! We can do so by achieving the goal of 32K in the next 3 days! €30,144 has been raised as of writing this (Sept 20th)! There is €1,861 left to go! If we do the math, 372 people need to contribute a minimum of €5 to succeed!

You can also match me! I've given €5, but you're more than welcome to give more!

Verification: #166 in the Spreadsheet.

Hello dear .. Please do not ignore our suffering

My name is Salman Helles from the afflicted and massively destroyed Gaza Strip..

My family consists of many children, women and elderly people and we are suffering from horrific tragic conditions .. Our house was bombed in the northern Gaza Strip and we were displaced to the southern Gaza Strip to Deir al-Balah and the family was scattered in tents and shelters in Deir al-Balah .. The conditions are extremely tragic where children suffer from the spread of diseases among them and the elderly and women in my family suffer from miserable conditions ..

There is no water, food or electricity in the Gaza Strip and the treatment is getting worse day after day ..

For more than 330 days we have been oppressed and wronged in the Gaza Strip and we are exposed to violent barbaric bombing ..

We would never ask for help and donations but the miserable conditions in the Gaza Strip forced us to do so ..

I appeal to the owners of human consciences and free people in this world to provide us with help ..

Your help, no matter how small, means a lot to us because it contributes to saving us and alleviating our suffering ..

Please donate to us or share my campaign On your blog and for your friends

I assure you that my campaign is completely legitimate

Help me until we get out of Gaza. The situation has become unbearable. Help me before it is too late

[typhoom]

To all Palestine supporters 🙏

🫂🫂

I am Khaled from Gaza - I and my family of 5 live in northern Gaza. A very difficult life. My father traveled with my brother abroad to register him in the university to study medicine. The crossings were closed and we became separated. We have no source of income. As you know, the situation in the north is no food, no medicine, and no security. I hope you stand by us and help us provide the necessities of life we ​​need‼️

Your donations are important for our survival

Please help me reach our goal as soon as possible 🙏

We appreciate your help ❤️🙏

Hello, I'm Rania Youssef, and I'm collecting funds to get out of Gaza to Egypt and build a new life after losing my father in an attack in the healing hospital and destroying my entire house, and there is no place for time, and I live there today in places of displacement, and I am now in the north of the Gaza Strip, gladiator for bombing and death permanently, intification, polluted water, and everything bad here. I hope you will help me publish my campaign and donate that you can, and also a campaign has been documented by the young Hussein, and my number is 319. I hope you donate share my story at least. Thank you all

[typhoom]

Hello, my name is Nabil. I am 50 years old, married, and responsible for 4 children. I am also responsible for my grandchildren, who are 4 children. After their mother and father were martyred in the war, and while we were escaping from the bombing in the Shuja'iya neighborhood, and the destruction of my house, we fled to Al-Shifa Hospital, and then to Rafah, to Khan Yunis, and now we are displaced from one place to another. There is no safe place. My daughter was studying in the field of nursing and dreamed of working and completing her life in this field, but the war destroyed everything and there is nothing that would motivate me to stay in Gaza. I am trying to save the future of my children and grandchildren and complete their lives, and I fear that I will spend my whole life looking at them with regret or bemoaning the loss of their lives, so I am creating this campaign to help me get out of Gaza to Egypt with the help of my daughter’s husband who lives in Europe. This is a message from me to everyone who reads my story. Look at us kindly. I look to you with hope and confidence to help me. Please feel free to help by donating or posting. thank you all.

There is nothing in the world worse than the feeling of helplessness, that you cannot do anything, and you are standing in hell, and you are unable to do anything but silently observe your pain.

Urgent: Extremely low funds!!

I am writing to you on behalf of Abdulsalam Al-Anqur ( @aboodanqar20 ), whose family has managed to raise a mere 3% of evacuation/survival funds. At this point, it would soon be one year of bombing and destruction of Gaza and I request you to take this in consideration while reading the post. For almost one year, the family has tried to get by, before finally reaching out to all of us for help. I am going to keep this short in hopes that this would be an easier read and would take only a few minutes of your day. 

Abdulsalam is only 26 years old and is father to one year old Iman. He hopes to save his daughter who is currently suffering from malnutrition and offer her a better life by evacuating to Egypt.

However as the borders are currently closed, the Al-Anqur family needs your help to collect funds for survival. There are 7 members in total, including an elderly couple.

Abdulsalam’s father (Ahmed Al-Anqur), is 54 years old and has recently been diagnosed with cancer. He has been advised to undergo surgery every three months, but with how things are in Gaza, the family isn't sure if it is possible. They are also worried that even if by some miracle it becomes so, they might not be able to bear the cost of it

What Ahmed, hence needs is access to medicines to get by. He also has a weak heart and already has 4 stents in place.  

The Al-Anqur family has been displaced several times and because they couldn't bear the cost of transportation, they once had to travel from the North to Deir Al-Balah in the South ON FOOT ! They have also been subjected to terror and humiliation when they crossed military checkpoints.  

Currently the family is living in a camp surrounded by waste and garbage and would like access to a decent tent before winter sets in.

For a long time, Abdulsalam refused to share his burden with anyone. But after almost a year of surviving through this genocide, he has grown tired and now fears for his daughter’s life. He is also close to tears about his father’s condition and requests  your help in  raising funds for survival. Please help him in whatever way you can. He has come onto  tumblr with a lot of hope. Please donate if you can. Boost and share if you can't. 

Currently at €1,703 / €50,000. Only €797 till €2,500.

compilation of fundraisers from Palestinians who've reached out to me recently - please share and donate if you can!🍉🫒🌿

(part 1 - will edit when i make another post like this)

These campaigns are either vetted or currently unvetted but are likely to be legitimate according to reverse image search. Please exercise your own judgement, but remember that donations on gofundme are protected, and a lot of unvetted campaigns are very low on funds/traction. If I include a known scam, please let me know.

Please donate if you can, even if it's a small amount, it all helps. If not, please share this post to get it to people who can. Please help these people to survive, reach safety, and rebuild their lives.

For each person, I've linked both their gofundmes and a post from them explaining their situation (+ vetting info if relevant).

Hello, i am highlighting this campaign led by multiple grassroots organisations in Lebanon, mostly in support of people that are part of marginalized communities that are often overlooked during humanitarian emergencies(such as migrant workers, Syrian and Palestinian refugees etc...). Share and support if you can.

[typhoom]

What an amazing place to live in! I'm sure Arabs feel so safe and secure in the most democratic country in the middle east.

Hey, I wanted to ask if you maybe have any book recs about nutrition that aren't steeped in fatphobia? my friend is trying to learn more about nutrition and change her eating habits, and i want to give her a gift

We spoke separately on this, sorry for the late reply but I can now officially recommend a book for your friends next birthday!

Gentle Nutrition: A Non-Diet Approach to Healthy Eating

Absolutely 10/10 would recommend. It's from a registered dietician, has plenty of sources!

I can't summerize or even list all the topics covered. Here's just a sample:

Introducing intuitive eating, recognizing diet culture, the thinness obsession, the types of hunger we feel, what factors actually contribute to health, diet cycling, hunger cues, why BMI is BS, how to make small changes gradually, the effects of weight stigma and stress on the body.

And so much more.

It introduces so many concepts and issues we touch on here on the blog and questions people have about health and some fat issues. (Not every single issuse but it does tackle the health based fatphobic arguments just by the process of tearing down diet culture. Even mentions medical neglect/fatphobia. Other literature is out there on the full scope of fatphobia and its harms.)

I'm particularly interested in this section. I'm delighted by graphs and then the explanations for them!

Theres so much I want to directly beam into people. My primary complaint is I wish there was MORE advice for people with body cue reading problems. There is some advice but more would be nice.

I also appreciated this:

Im someone who has good textures and bad textures (mild compared to some) but ask me which ones and I'd be stumped because I tell you dishes I like but otherwise ??? So this helps me think.

While flipping through it I keep finding more things to gush about this really is such a good starting point because it will touch on so many weight and diet culture topics.

This is disjointed because this book covers so much I want to try and encourage peopleto check it out but my brain go Brrrr from excitement. It's not perfect, nothing can be but it's just so nice to have a book I can recommend that covers both what you want and doesn't shy away from the complex web of diet culture. It tries to met a new reader where they are and I just Brrrrr. You know?

⏰ 🚨 attention please🙏🚨

Dear friends and compassionate supporters,

This is Eman Zaqout, from Occupied Gaza, Palestine. I am a Biotechnologist 🩸💉, and scientific researcher👩‍⚕️ contacting you at a really desperate moment.🍉

I am seeking your assistance to raise funds for saving our lives, facing the starvation in Gaza and help me achieve my doctoral degree dream after being awarded OWSD PhD Fellowship for inspirational women👩‍🎓

Just like any motivated and loving life woman, and for years, I poured my heart and soul into my work at Al-Shifa Hospital and Turkish Palestinian Friendship Hospital, as Biotechnology Specialist serving cancer patients with compassion and skill 💪✌

 (photos of Al-Shifa Hospital before and after the IDF destruction)

 (photos of Turkish Palestinian Friendship Hospital before and after the IDF destruction)

I also gave medical lectures to students at different universities and training centers in Gaza👇

As a result of my outstanding grades in my study and the excellent performance in my job, I have been a holder of different scholarship and I am active participant in many research visits and scientific missions👩‍🔬. The last scholarship as at McGill University in Canada three months ago before the starting of the genocide in Gaza💔

However,😥

My life changed dramatically when Israeli military launched a sweeping war against Gaza. My home and our neighborhood in the North have been destroyed along with our belongings and precious memories early in this crisis😫

My job and my husband's job are gone 💔.Israeli military forced us to evacuate from the north Gaza to the south where they claimed it would be the safe zone but it is not at all😭

Forced to flee with nothing but the clothes on our backs, today, we find ourselves sheltering in a displacement camp lacking access to sanitation, medical supplies, food and drinkable water. I will not talk a lot about the dire and unbearable life we have to go through, as no word can express it fairly🥺😣

The good news in the midst of this tragedy, that I am one of the 22 women from the developing world who have been awarded OWSD- PhD fellowship to pursue my PhD study in Malaysia💪. But now I am stuck in Gaza unable to achieve my dream because Israeli army has occupied and closed all the border crossings😢

Meet 22 women who have been awarded the OWSD PhD Fellowship.

This genocide has been 11 months of hell and horror. We have reached a point where there is no hope left for us here in Gaza, where we are unfortunately just waiting for our turn to die.💔💔

Nevertheless,

I refuse to succumb to despair, holding on to the belief that brighter days lie ahead 🖤🤍💚💖

With your kindness and generosity🥺, I hope to survive the genocide and reclaim the path to achieving my doctorate 💉🩸

Your compassionate aid would mean the world to me and my family.🥺🙏🍉✌

Note, my previous account has been terminated for unknown reasons, but I had meaningful interactions with many of you ✔✔. I have always found the Tumblr community to be incredibly supportive and helpful, so your continued support of our campaign until we reach our goal would be deeply appreciated.💪💕

A Plea for Hope: Ibrahim Almoghani’s Fight for Survival

I'm Ibrahim Almughanni. I once dreamed of a peaceful, prosperous future for my family, but those dreams were shattered by the unrelenting horrors of war.

I am a husband and a father to three beautiful children:

Toleen, who is 9 years old

Wateen, who is 6

and Tayseer, who is just 4.

The Day Our Lives Shattered

I remember the day vividly—explosions began in the distance, growing into a deafening roar. Smoke and fear engulfed us as we watched our neighbors flee in terror. We grabbed our children and ran, pushing through a sea of panic until we could run no more.

Finding Refuge Amid Desperation

We found temporary shelter in a classroom turned into a makeshift refuge. The walls were bare, the air thick with fear. Surrounded by other displaced families, we shared a profound sense of loss.

The Heavy Burden of Loss

I lost my home—my sanctuary—now reduced to rubble. My workshop, where I built my life as a blacksmith, was completely destroyed. I lost not only my tools and savings but also my livelihood. The deepest wound is the loss of hope: the hope that my children could thrive, free from fear.

Daily Struggles for Survival

We are caught in a cycle of survival. Food is scarce, and basic necessities are out of reach. In our overcrowded shelter, we cling to each other for comfort. The worry and fear in my family’s eyes are constant reminders of our daily struggle.

A Heartfelt Call for Help

We need your help to provide basic necessities and safety for our family. Every dollar you donate is a vital lifeline—a warm meal, a respite from hunger, a step towards rebuilding our lives.

Please, don’t turn away. Your compassion can restore hope and help us endure these dark times.

The Power of Your Support

My story is one of loss and survival, but also of hope. With your support, we can start rebuilding and find a way out of this darkness.
