Heartbreaking News Out Of North Gaza Today

Heartbreaking news out of north Gaza today

We write to inform you that renowned journalist Ismail Al-Ghoul and cameraman Ramy El-Rifi of Al-Jazeera were murdered just a few hours ago by the occupation. They were going out to document the scene of another bombing attack, when they were deliberately targeted by the occupation. Footage provided by journalist Osama Al-Ashi in the immediate aftermath of the attack shows that Ismail and Ramy were murdered with targeted precision weaponry, meaning the occupation watched them, waited for them, and executed them in cold blood (warning: graphic footage).

Ismail and Ramy have been documenting the genocide at immense personal cost since the 7th of October 2023. They were previously kidnapped and tortured by the occupation, but survived and continued to remain in north Gaza and document crimes against humanity. They have had many narrow escapes, and today, the occupation was finally successful in its illegal goal of assassinating these prominent journalists.

When western journalists hand-wave their suppression of the IOF’s atrocities in Gaza by claiming no journalists are “allowed” in to report, remember these men. Remind them of these men. These men who lost friends and loved ones, who suffered immensely, and yet chose to remain and continue documenting the genocide against their people. They join the ranks of more than 150 Gazan journalists who were murdered by the occupation to hide its crimes and retaliate for speaking the truth.

حسبنا الله و نعم الوكيل

أنا لله و أنا اليه رجعون

God suffices us and he is the best disposer of affairs. We belong to God and to Him we shall return.

Keep fighting for Gaza. Don’t stop talking about north Gaza.

while i've shared her campaign before, today i'd like to direct your attention specially towards my friend Amal Ashour (@amalashuor / @moatasim20101010) and her family.

ten months ago, Amal was preparing to receive her master's degree in french language studies as she and her husband joyfully watched their little daughter Maryam grow, learn, and play as she neared her first birthday. now, they have been displaced several times and are barred from returning to their home. instead of happiness and celebration, Maryam turned one amidst unfathomable destruction.

fearing for her daughter and husband and wanting to continue her education, Amal is determined to obtain the funds they need to escape the genocide and provide Maryam with the safe childhood and bright future she deserves. so far, they have raised a little over €12,000 out of the €30,000 necessary for their evacuation, putting the campaign only about €3,000 from halfway to the goal.

if you have the means, i encourage you to give in whatever capacity you can to Amal and her family. if this isn't a possibility for you (or even if it is), then please share this post, one from Amal herself, or those of other users working to amplify her campaign. your contributions, whether material or not, go such a long way.

let's do all we can to help Amal, her husband, and precious Maryam reach their goal as quickly as possible!

(Amal's campaign is #175 on @/el-shab-hussein and @/nabulsi's spreadsheet)

Hello, I am Amal Ashour. I live in Gaza. I am 26 years old Before the war, I was … Amal Ashour needs your support for Help me get out of Gaz

i've shared their fundraiser before, but i want to bring special attention today to Mohammed Al Manasra (@save-mohamed-family) and his family, as donations have continued to be very slow.

after spending months raising money to cover the evacuation fees for himself, his wife, and their three little children, Mohammed's gofundme was shut down and all the funds (amounting to about $35,000) he had worked so hard to collect were lost. the family has had to restart their campaign entirely from scratch.

Mohammed and his family were displaced after a devastating airstrike that took the lives of Mohammed's parents and four of his sisters, along with their spouses and children. he has been left as one of the few survivors of his family.

to compound the urgency of their situation, both Mohammed and his wife need vital medical treatment. Mohammed cannot get the medications he needs to treat his chronic respiratory problems, and is suffering from a severe leg injury that will lead to amputation if untreated much longer. his wife has uterine cancer and has not received chemotherapy or any other treatment for ten months.

meanwhile, their three children (ages six, four, and three) suffer from malnutrition, insect bites, and skin rashes from polluted water and the stifling heat of the tent. every day, diseases like hepatitis, cholera, and polio are spreading, threatening especially the fragile health of young children like Abdulrahman, Sarah, and Lina.

the minimum amount the family needs to evacuate to safety is $18,000 CAD, but more funds are needed to secure housing, treatment for Mohammed and his wife, and to rebuild the family's livelihood, bringing the final goal to $50,000 CAD. so far, they have only raised $2,085, and have received barely three donations today.

please support this fundraiser in any capacity you can to help the Al Manasra family reach a safe place and give their children the bright and happy future they deserve!

@/thylacid has also recently opened commissions!

Funds for rebuilding life in Gaza are important!! Posts after posts of Free Palestine doesn't do anything, if you do not at least interact with campaigns where a Gazan is saying that he plans to stay on and rebuild his life in his homeland.

@siraj2024 has a short term goal of 10 thousand CAD

10k is all he is asking for now because he wants to relocate safely to another camp!!

At this very moment when you are rushing to go to work or spending a lazy afternoon, a father from Gaza is using what little data there is left on the e-sim to scroll through an unfamiliar website, going blog to blog to request people to care about his campaign.

Siraj has been forced to move six times during this terrible genocide. Everytime a place starts to feel safe, the occupation attacks it via bombing and shelling. Do you understand how much of a psychological torture this is??? Not to mention how financially devastating it is to flee with a stagnating campaign? Tents need money, threadbare mats for sleeping are expensive, medicine (what little is left) drains away so much resources...THIS IS WHY HE NEEDS 10K !!

Siraj dreams of living on in Gaza. He plans to rebuild his house on the soil that is rightfully his !!! No matter how much Zionists gnash their teeth and mock him and goad him in his DMs, Siraj is steadfast about surviving and rebuilding his children's life in Gaza.

This is why he needs your help! Help him relocate because Gaza is not dead!! There won't be those ugly Zionist beach resorts, there won't be any ugly settlements for colonizers to move into no matter how much they whine. Palestine will be free and Gaza will be rebuilt but for that to happen, campaigns like that of Siraj's need your attention!

There are two raffles being held for Siraj if you need further incentive!

@sheplaysbassdotmp3 is holding an art raffle for Siraj

@magnus-rhymes-with-swagness too is holding a raffle of a giveaway of the Collector's edition of Time quintet for Siraj and other Palestinian families.

So please give Siraj your attention. For Palestine to live on, for Palestine to be free campaigns of families who want to rebuild their lives back in Gaza, are tremendously important!!

Currently at $7274 CAD

Its always needs to be shocking and awful for people to give a shit on here, as if the situation isnt constantly shocking and awful. Even if we have momentum now i cant relax because i know it will die in a matter of hours and i will have to come around begging again for people to give a fuck.

I cant even imagine the pain and humiliation of being the palestinian person who actually needs help and has to beg people to give a shit, and so many people will straight up report them as spam and try to get their account deleted.

And tumblr will LET it get deleted because they are just looking for excuses to delete and silence ANYONE who isnt white or happens to be a trans woman.

Do you realise how dehumanizing that is? That people will automatically assume that you are not a real person because you dont speak the right language? Because you havent been immersed in the ambiently american culture of this website enough to navigate it "naturally"? Because reporting as spam is easier than doing the extra effort of even listening? All this while theres a genocide going on by people who have assumed that you are not worthy of the dignity of being considered human.
