Trapped Family in Gaza Appeals for Help to Survive
A Plea for Help from Gaza: A Family Seeking Safety
Hello, I am Rehab Shamia, married to Hussein Shamia (@husseinshamia) ,from a family of 4 members.
We live in the midst of the ongoing hellish war in Gaza, trapped between walls of fear and despair.
In light of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, we went through very difficult circumstances. We were displaced several times. We lost our house, which I had paid for with all my savings, to the enemy's bombs shortly after our first displacement. We lost all the beautiful things that my family and I used to enjoy, and the most difficult beautiful thing we lost was safety in peace, due to the violent bombing that surrounded us in all the places to which we fled.
to say the least, our days were difficult, as there were no viable sources of employment to obtain the money we needed to meet our needs.Our situation is especially dire because my wife was born in the war, I have an infant and a 4-year-old and we are still stuck in a tent where there is no healthy food, no medicine, no water and no electricity. During the process of displacement, we lost the stable and recreational life that we used to live with me, the family, and the child, Ayham, who lost all the toys that he loved and played with all the time, and was deprived of the beautiful childhood that he lived in the first days of his childhood. My wife, who is constantly tired and exhausted,moving from one tent to another, is slowly sliding towards despair. Every nature of life, from a beautiful house to a tent in the middle of the street, a place to sleep. I need your help in raising money to leave the Gaza Strip
I need to raise money to restore a beautiful life and stability outside the Gaza Strip Everything I tell leaves only a small amount of the suffering we are experiencing. Below is a glimpse of the contrast between our lives before the aggression and the nightmare we've been enduring since it began. Thank you for your support and solidarity

With deepest respect and gratitude,
Rehab shamia

Another fundraiser which is in urgent need of your support is that of Hazem Albardawil. The affects of the war on his life have been devastating.
(ID in Alt)
In one horrible, traumatic day in October 2023, Hazem lost everything. He had a pregnant wife and two beautiful sons, Imad and Jad (photographed above), and when Israel bombed their home, they were martyred and he survived but with severe injuries and lasting emotional trauma.
This war has completely devastated the life of this man, and all he wants is to be able to get treatment for his injuries, survive this horrific genocide, and carry on his life in spite of these cruel circumstances that he's been placed in.
He is raising £20,000 but he has less than £500 as of the time I am writing this post. Any help you can give him will go to saving his life.

Today I discovered that she created a blog in my name and with my picture and she writes the same posts as me except that she makes donors believe that they are donating to the Nesma campaign (My campaign and my family) which is verified by @el-shab-hussein here and @nabulsi here then she puts a link to her campaign. I contacted her asking her to explain the reason for what she did with the utmost politeness, and I was about to forgive her if she gave me a convincing reason, but she responded by blocking me from her account and continuing to defraud everyone with my name and picture. I did not expect the war to hurt me like this. I did not expect my people to stab me like this with their fraud and lies to everyone, so I ask you all to be careful and not to throw your money at those who do not deserve it. This is my main account @nesmamomen this is Amal’s fraudulent account @nessmamomen here . Please report her account and mention the @el-shab-hussein @nabulsi

Lose others🥺🍉
Hello everyone, I am Hamdi Al-Shaltawi. I am speaking to you for the second time with a heavy heart. Also, for help, we were never like this, but the war machine did this to us. All our sources of income have been exhausted. Asking for help is not an easy matter, but the circumstances allowed us to tell you about our bad situation. I will tell you our story, but I will be brief for you because the talk He will never make you feel what we feel. What we felt during the past nine months is unimaginable. It is a difficult thing when you see Omar's toil and all of your work being destroyed in less than a minute because of their planes. Everyone knows who they are. They have no heart. They destroyed all our property. We had a coffee shop called... Prince Coffee, which is authentic Arabic coffee, is famous in the Gaza Strip, but in the blink of an eye, the shop, the apartment, and the coffee distribution cars were also destroyed when we were displaced to the south. I will say that something is real. Death is better than this feeling that we are currently facing. My mother used to live in a clean house. Now she lives in a plastic tent filled with insects. And the snakes, my little brother, instead of taking the money and going on a trip with his friends, he is now going to sell Arabic bread in the market. Have you ever felt this suffering when you see your little brother losing his childhood little by little and living with this cruelty? Now I'm going to ask everyone to share my story and donate to me. Don't stop helping me. I got $105 out of $50,000. The number needed if we get $10,000. I think it's better than nothing because of the despair I'm getting now (save me)🥺💔

Do not fail my hope and the hope of my family🥺
URGENT – campaign 2/3 complete
(this campaign has been directly verified by el-shab-hussein)
news reports say that the rafah crossing might re-open soon with the palestinian authority managing it. its being discussed in talks right now how to push this forward. fahed @fahedshehab-new said hes heard news it may be sometime this month.
the problem is they havent raised enough money to register all of their family members to evacuate to egypt. fahed reached out to me asking me to help boost his campaign so they can get enough money in time because this could be the only chance for his family to escape this genocide. we dont know exactly when the rafah border will open or how long it will be open for. its really important that they complete their campaign– can you imagine being in situation where you might have to decide which of your own family members should have to stay behind to live in unbearable conditions- possibly to their deaths? no one should have to make that decision
they also have raised €33,355 out of a goal of €50,000, which is about 2/3rds of the way complete already. weve seen a lot of fundraisers get their goals met through tumblr recently (thank you everyone for participating) and i really think we can also get this one to 50k.
please donate, and if you cant share this with someone who can
€33,355 raised of €50,000
TIME SENSITIVE: MUST RAISE $2,600 TODAY
This fund is for Ameera Nabil to reunite with her children, who she hasn't been able to see for months now. Due to issues with the organiser, the fund has to come down TOMORROW and she is making a big push to get to her goal.
This fund has been verified by Rynnstar on Tiktok here, who has had multiple conversations with Ameera, who has her own account here.
PROGRESS: €57,422 / 60,000
STOP DON'T SCROL
I am Osama Al-Anqar and my wife's name is Rana Raed Al-Anqar. We have a little girl.
We used to live in our house in the Shuja'iyya neighborhood. We used to live in peace and security and I had a job, but the war came and took everything from me,
first of all my brother Mahmoud, who was martyred in the bombing of the Baptist Hospital. He left behind his children and wife, and my brother Ahmed, whose front leg was amputated in the same bombing. I lost my house, my family's house, and my job. Now we have become homeless, moving from one place to another. We are gripped by fear, terror, and hunger. My daughter suffers from extreme fear and panic, and suffers from lack of food and skin diseases due to the lack of water and cleanliness.
We are in dire need of your help. We call on you to fund this fund to save my family and provide safe shelter, food, drink, and health care. Your donation is no matter what can happen to us in our lives. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your support means more.
Those four campaigns not reaching their goal is serious. These people have been living in horrible conditions for more than 300 days. They've been enduring genocide for more than 300 days. Enough is enough. Please donate to any of them. Share whatever posts I have about them. Keep them circulating. We need to meet that goal in time. I don't want to leave them behind like this.
Donate to Momen Al Ostaz, Abdullah Ameen, Doaa's family, and Mahmoud Nedal.
We are still way behind on our goal, and it's been almost 24 hours.

Important post
I was getting suspicions but now I'm very 100% sure that most of this website's userbase hates Palestinians and not passively. I'm now fully 100% comprehending that the vast majority of this website's userbase passes by any mention of Palestinians and seethes to their core and the only reason little of it came out was because you thought there might be social repercussions for attacking Palestinians in our time of need. All it took was an easily debunkable false accusation to get people to attack people undergoing genocide as well as a genocide survivor, and now he's been stopped from doing the work he has spent months doing. I will not allow this experience to go undocumented or forgotten. Those who partook in the harassment know what they've done and the unspeakable repurcussions of it. I expected this honestly, because that is exactly what happened to BLM and other Black rights activists since 2014; a cycle of unbelievable praise before horrendous abuse and harassment once they stopped being deified. I also saw the way people treated Moataz Azaiza after he evacuated Ghazzah, and expected the same to happen to Ahmed, who also survived unspeakable things for months in an accelerated genocide, and got harassed and attacked by the THOUSANDS on tumblr after this harassment campaign was put out. I will not forgive any one involved, especially not for what they've done to Ahmed.
Here's a collection of links to posts about the issue in the past couple of days, in chronological order I think. And under the cut will be screenshots of the initial post that I saw that brought this to my attention.

Honorable mention for white victim-playing after leading a hate-campaign against Palestinians surviving genocide:
Please don’t forget me 🙏🙏
Only $30 raised of $18,680
I need to pay $2420 urgently within 12 days
If 242 people donate $10, they can be collected.

The more I am trying to help fundraisers reach a wide berth of people, the more I am realizing that tumblr is a very performative website. Posts which are detailing a fundraiser have very little interaction, as opposed to those that point out the injustice of it all and have a tone of anger. But anger is not sustainable...if you want us ( those who are actively monitoring the fundraisers ) to give you a cause to rally against, if that is the only thing what moves you to donate, then how long can this go on? What does it even say about how you view the lives of people who have been forced to fundraise? They are not tinder to keep stoking your fuel of righteousness.
Every fundraiser which I am personally monitoring seems to only crest when the tumblr community at large either feels that appropriate bit of "oh yeah look I am so cool for rallying behind the cause." Or if there is a tragedy, an unimaginable pain a person has been put through and thus can evoke enough empathy/sympathy in the masses....what is this? What can one even say to this?
In the besieged lands of Gaza, the search for drinking water unfolds as a tragic odyssey of endurance and deprivation. Every step taken to procure this fundamental necessity is laden with hardship and uncertainty. Families embark on wearying journeys, traversing long distances in pursuit of a simple sip of water. Yet, the wells of health and purity run dry, as contamination and scarcity cast a shadow over their quest. The echoes of war reverberate through their struggle, rendering the act of securing clean and uncontaminated water a poignant reminder of the entrenched suffering that defines life in Gaza.

Help Newborn Trapped in Al-Mawasi Camp Evacuate
Hi guys, as you may recall, Wafaa (@wafans-blog) recently got in contact with her brother Muhammad and sister Shaima, who thankfully are unharmed with their spouses and children. Wafaa is verified on @el-shab-hussein and @nabulsi's vetted spreadsheet (family number #171).
The campaign has been stagnating for more than 12 hours now, I cannot impress upon you more that this pair of brother and sister, who have 10 children in total, need your help to evacuate their children and keep them safe.
A trauma surgeon at a Khan Younis field hospital reported late last night that the iof repeatedly and fatally targets children by "firing directly at their head and chest" especially during this new round of offenses in Khan Younis. Please don't only be mobilized by tragedy. Help now.
Muhammad hopes that his newborn son, Salem, who only a few weeks old, can evacuate with Wafaa's family who has raised their evacuation fees. Salem is a priority concern because the overwhelmed hospital in Khan Younis does not have vaccines for him, making him especially susceptible to viral infections that have been spreading among the al-Mawasi camp.
To help the family achieve this, we need to raise $2,500 USD as soon as possible!! There has only been 6 donations in the past 11 hours. Currently $672 as of July 28 morning, that's $1,828 left to raise to save Salem!!
Here's a website where Palestine GoFundMes are vetted and shared that you can send out to people. The url is gazafunds.com
Easy to use and simple. Just share the site whenever someone asks for GFMs for Palestine.
Etsy is banning the selling of adult toys (i.e., insertables, penetrables, etc), erotic art/literature, and other "adult" goods come July 29th: https://www.etsy.com/legal/prohibited/
They're taking the Tumblr route with it. From the above link:
Examples of What is Allowed: - Illustrative (i.e. non-photographic or photorealistic) artwork depicting female nipples [included is a painting of a woman with her bare chest facing towards the viewer, standing casually. her lower body is dressed in layers of skirts] - Illustrative artwork depicting buttocks [included is a watercolor painting of a nude man from the back, his buttocks unobscured] - Illustrative depictions of genitalia without sexual context [included is a photograph of orangish transparent penis-shaped lollipops]
They go into more detail on the guidelines on this page: https://www.etsy.com/legal/policy/adult-nudity-and-sexual-content/1269612959532?ref=list
The page defines what it considers pornography ("Printed or visual materials that explicitly describe or display sex acts, sex organs, or other erotic behavior for the purpose of sexual arousal or stimulation") and then covers any methods people have used before to get around this or comply with it, such as:
This policy applies even if the above body parts are only partially visible, including through very tight, sheer, or mesh clothing, or through insufficient use of blurring or “censor” bars.
The adult toys and accessories section:
Etsy prohibits the sale of adult toys that are: - Inserted into the body - Applied to the genitalia - Designed for genitals to be inserted into them This includes adult toys such as dildos, vibrators, anal plugs, sex dolls, and fleshlights. Etsy allows the sale of non-insertable and non-penetrable adult toys and sexual accessories, as long as they meet our requirements for sale on Etsy. This includes items such as restraints, handcuffs, nipple clamps, body harnesses, sex furniture, and BDSM accessories. Permitted adult toys and sexual accessories may not be shown in use or worn by human models in listing or review photos. Consider using a mannequin or flat lay photography instead.
The final section on this page covers the banning of "mommy" and "daddy" branded mature items.
As always with these types of policy changes, it's going to hit LGBTQ+ creators harder than anyone else. There is a thriving adult toy/mature art community on Etsy and smaller creators are going to struggle greatly with finding a new platform and audience. Many of these merchants also sell gender-affirming items such as packers, artificial nipples, breast forms/padding, and specialized undergarments. While these weren't explicitly mentioned in the above rules, they're still going to be affected by these new policies.
Some creators that I follow have independently run stores alongside their Etsy storefront. I highly recommend supporting these artists and creators while you can and subscribing to their socials or the email newsletters on their independent stores before they have to close up on Etsy. It is extremely difficult finding creators like this due to how algorithms—even on sites like Twitter that allow nsfw art—and search engines actively reduce visibility on posts by nsfw creators or by independent merchants.
it really hurts me to see so many gazans asking us for help, though that's through no fault of their own. they've been forced to use a social media site that they're probably not familiar with (because tumblr has kind of faded out of popular consciousness), to interact with us in a second language, to distinguish themselves from the scammers who are taking advantage of genocide, and to ask strangers for help. i don't think there are any cultures where it's easy to ask for help like this, but i'm intimately familiar with how humiliating it can be in arab culture. please be kind, gracious and helpful to the gazans in your inbox. this is a desperate time for them, and in addition to the physical danger inflicted by "israel", the prices of basic resources in gaza are extremely high due to scarcity, and those that manage to escape to egypt are financially exploited by landlords there and have an extremely difficult time finding work due to their unofficial status as refugees. these families will continue to need our help and i hope we can all continue to provide it to the best of our ability.

🚨TIME-SENSITIVE!!!
@moatazart is a graphic design artist and self-taught journalist living in north Gaza. He has supported our blog with updates directly from Gaza City, and both our page and the Tumblr community owe him an enormous debt for risking his life to share the truth.
Moataz, his wife Maryam, and their baby girl Maria were attempting to evacuate to Egypt following the destruction of their home and the siege of Al-Shifa Medical Complex that trapped them for weeks. They hoped to get to safety in Egypt, and find work so they could raise the funds needed to return to Gaza and rebuild their home. However, the day before they were set to travel, the occupation illegally seized control of Rafah crossing. The crossing is now closed and it is not known when it will reopen.
Moataz and his family are now trying to raise funds to rebuild their home after it was destroyed by lOF bombardment. They will not be able to raise the required funds on their own if they cannot reach Egypt, so they need our support in order to rebuild their home.
Let's help Moataz @moatazart and his family with the second stage of their campaign to rebuild their home in Gaza City! This portion of the campaign has LESS THAN 2 WEEKS REMAINING! Please reblog this post, check Moataz’s blog, and repost the link to your own social media.
Thank you
