Instead of getting ready for Eid festivities like they used to every year, my friend Bilal's family are still living in a makeshift tent in this sweltering heat, striving to secure the inadequate amount of food and water they can hardly come by. Since October, Israel has imposed a tight siege on Gaza, severely limiting the flow of life-saving essential food and medical items. Now, with the seizure of the Rafah crossing border which has been closed since May 7, the situation is worse than ever. Vital goods are scarce in the markets, and when they are available they're sold at exorbitant prices.
Bilal's family had to leave Rafah and go to Khan Yunis again to escape the recent massacres. It is now harder for them to provide basic needs for themselves and the children including the three newborns. The little water they manage to obtain with great difficulty is often polluted and salty. It's not even suitable for cooking regular meals for adults, let alone prepare baby bottles for three newborns if ever formula is accessible.
Every single day is a struggle for survival for Bilal's family. Their lives are constantly threatened by acute malnutrition, infectious diseases, and indiscriminate bombing. Your support has truly made a difference, but it is now needed more urgently, as the situation is getting more dire.
Please help Bilal keep them as safe as possible until the border reopens and they are hopefully able to evacuate.
It would mean the world to them if you donated or reblogged.

I want to bring another fundraiser to your attention. In the link above, Fadi Ayyad has told the story of his family, who lost their home in Northern Gaza and have been forced to evacuate to the south.
Fadi is a high school student who wishes to graduate and further his studies. And his father, Ayman is a well-respected and known Gazan educator, who has lost his source of livelihood during this war.
Their lives have become a constant struggle for survival, from trying to secure what food and water they can to the constant bombardment and raids by the Israeli military which threaten to take their lives at any time.
Their situation is dire. They require $35,000 to evacuate their 8 family members and after 1 month they have not even gone over $1000 yet.
Help this family reach their goal and evacuate to Egypt, where they can get back a semblance of stability and safety. Donate if you can, and please share!
You can also reach Ayman on tumblr @aymanayyad81
Please read this and share if you care about the well-being of people in Gaza
today i want to bring attention to the fundraisers of two people who have reached out to me.
@freepaleatine95 Marah is trying to raise funds for necessities and evacuation for her family which consists of her, her parents, her brother's family (including his children) and her three sisters' families (including their children). because of the zionist entity's deliberate attempts to restrict aid from reaching the Gaza strip, the price of essentials for life such as food, water and medicine have risen to impossible prices. Marah's brother and father's workplaces were destroyed in the bombing, so they do not have any income to provide for these products which are essential for SURVIVAL. their house was also destroyed and their pets were killed. Can you imagine your only shelter being a tent which is susceptible to being destroyed by rain at any moment? Marah's parents also suffer from chronic illnesses (high blood pressure and diabetes) and they need urgent medical care which is not available in Gaza. Marah was a university student and she deserves to be able to complete her studies.
$20,309 / $50,000 VETTED
@dodoshehab the Shehab family consists of 8 people, 5 children between the ages of 1 and 14, their parents, and their grandmother. their home has also been destroyed, as well as the gym their father owned, and they have been displaced several times. they currently live in a tent in Rafah. they urgently need to raise the necessary funds to evacuate to Egypt as soon as possible, and it's imperative that they have enough to pay for all of their passage as soon as the crossing opens again, as they may only have a short window of time.
€61,956 / €85,000 VETTED
i'm asking you all to please consider what you're able to give to these families. if you can afford to sacrifice 5, 10, or 20 dollars, it will be a small sacrifice and you will be helping improve the lives of people who have lost literally everything. and it DOES add up. but everyone has contribute and do their part. if you genuinely cannot donate, please at least reblog this so maybe it'll reach someone who can. it costs nothing and takes less than 5 seconds to reblog. thank you for reading.

Hello my dears! I, Asmaa, ask you to support my campaign to help me reach my goal. 🙏 I am now in desperate need of your support to help me stay alive and safe. Gaza is a very dangerous place, both in terms of living standards and souls. I need your financial support so that I can get the basic needs of my family. Please help a family survive through your small donations or through your shares to others. And reblog. The campaign is going very slowly. 🙏🍉💔
HAPPENING NOW: passover seder from our comrades in columbia's liberated zone/gaza solidarity encampment. this encampment is a profoundly religious space. we've seen muslim protesters praying multiple times a day, a christian communion was held, and multiple jewish prayers/celebrations have taken place. solidarity is a beautiful thing, palestine will be free.🖤🇵🇸
edit: @saffronlesbian was kind enough to make an image description for this post!
[id: a tweet from Arielle Angel @/ArielleLAngel with a photo of a large group of university students, most of whom are wearing surgical or kN95 masks, sit on a large tarp on the ground, inside of the circle formed by several tents. in the middle of the circle is a collection of several containers of food, a protest sign that reads, "pesach means solidarity and liberation" (note: pesach is the hebrew word for passover), and a person kneeling and holding up the seder plate, upon which can prominently be seen a boiled egg and a large orange. the tweet's caption reads, " Explaining the seder plate at the Colombia encampment. These students truly embody the meaning of Passover in their provisional seder and their commitment to liberation." /end id.]

Donation Match for Ahmad
Hello everyone, Ahmad Waleed (@ahmadwaleeed) is a 14 year old who is raising money to evacuate from Gaza to continue his education (vetted on line 167 of this spreadsheet by @/el-shab-hussein and @/nabulsi). His campaign has been moving slowly and has been stagnant for the past few days.
In an effort to boost Ahmad's campaign, I will be matching donations to his fundraiser up to $100 USD. Attach proof of donation to this post and/or message it to me and I'll match it when the donations reach $100.
Thank you and I hope together we can help Ahmad get closer to his goal.
On the Same Planet but in Different Worlds: Gazans are Humans Too!
Allow me to point out some of the blessings that people, unlike those in the strange scary world of Gaza, are inclined to take for granted and rarely do they reflect on:
Plenty of food, vegetables, and fruits.
Electricity 24/7.
Drinkable water 24/7.
No horrifying sounds of explosions, no head-splitting buzzing of Israeli drones in their sky, and no scary shaking of their houses because of the continuous bombardment.
No fear of ending up buried under the rubble of their cozy beautiful houses.
No scary thoughts about getting killed in an airstrike before drifting off at night.
Access to quality education for them and their children.
A plea from one family to another: kindly help me get my family to a safe place before I lose them forever. The situation in Gaza only moves from bad to worse. My family is stranded in the most hellish conditions ever, so I am dedicating to helping them evacuate to Egypt as soon as possible.
Join me in securing a dignified safe life for my family and a prosperous future for the children who have been deprived of education for a year.
Even worse, it seems they won't receive any education for another year at least as the ravaging cruel war continues and most Schools have been viciously and devilishly destroyed. Your support is a lifeline for my family and a chance for a better future for them. It is just too early for them to depart to heaven!
Please donate, reblog, and share.
