"Help Me Secure Treatment for My Parents"😢
My name is Ibrahim Abu Rakhieh, I am 25 years old, and I am in desperate need of your help. My parents are my everything, and they are currently facing serious health crises that require specialized treatment abroad. We have tried everything we can to save money to cover the costs of their travel and treatment, but the expenses are simply too high for us to manage alone.
My mother has been suffering for a long time with serious health issues that urgently need medical attention, and my father is facing a similar condition that requires continuous monitoring and treatment. Unfortunately, we can't afford these costs on our own, and I find myself in a difficult situation, wanting to be the support they need, but unable to do so because of our circumstances.
I am reaching out to ask for your help in raising funds to secure the treatment my parents desperately need. This treatment could make a huge difference in their lives and ours as a family. Every donation, no matter how small, will be a step towards restoring hope and improving their health.
Please help us during this difficult time and be a part of our story. Thank you and may you be blessed for your kindness.😪
KEEP TALKING ABOUT PALESTINE ‼️‼️
Viva la Palestine!!!!
Don’t stop talking about Palestine 🇵🇸
Good morning. This might be my last message from the city of Rafah. The occupation [Israel] is carrying out crazy fire. Violent belts. As you’re hearing, there are helicopters. Planes and gunfire from the vehicles. There’s a complete invasion of the city.
We don’t know what is going on in Rafah. The place that the occupation [Israel] claimed to be safe. This is happening all of a sudden; the people didn’t go out. They didn’t do anything. More than thirty targets were hit in just minutes. People were asleep. We woke up to the bombing, to the shooting from the helicopters. It was horrifying. Unacceptable. This might be my last message. Please relay it to the world.
— Hazem, journalist residing in Rafah; 02.11.2024
Rafah was Palestinians’ very last safe zone. There is quite literally nowhere else left to go. And now it’s being bombed with airstrike after airstrike.
Every donation creates a smile. Be part of those smiles.
Help Ahmed Provide for His Family
I am writing this post at the request of @ahmedgaza7
Ahmed is a 34-year-old man who lives with his wife and 4 children in Gaza. Ahmed and his family have lost everything since the occupation began and have been displaced multiple times since then. Donations for his campaign have been very weak, with his GoFundMe being at only 8% of his goal. Ahmed needs help urgently, as him and his family struggle greatly from meet their most basic needs, and they are unable to supply those needs without those funds. If you can donate, then please do so, help this family rebuild the life that they had before the occupation began. And if you are unable to provide to Ahmed's campaign, then please share this post, so that his GoFundMe can be seen by more people.
Donation links are down below

The Palestinian Hamza Abu Toha from the north of Gaza : “My wife just gave birth to our son, Ali, and I wanted to bring her a gift of appreciation. I spent five days looking for meat in the North of Gaza, and some rice. The ingredients that you see in this photo cost me $95 $70 for the meat, and $25 for the rice. This type of food became luxurious gifts for our loved ones.“
Hello stop please help us
I am Nour, a Palestinian girl from Gaza. I am 5 years old. We were displaced from our home after the occupation bombed. We were displaced to southern Gaza. I, my father, my mother, and my grandmother, who also lives with us.
I saw the ravages of death on the way to the south, where I had to walk long distances on my feet .....
After arriving in southern Gaza, we saw all forms of suffering. After living in a tent for 8 months, we do not have any necessities for life. My sisters and I suffer from illness and weight loss due to malnutrition and lack of it. There is no source of livelihood for my father, who lost his job there in Gaza.
We need your help and support to provide a better life for me and my family🍉🍉
Please share and donate to improve the future of our children
🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
Please stop, please help us before it's too late. We were bombed two days ago in the tents of the displaced in Mawasi Khan Yunis, which led to the burning of our tent. We are now homeless and fled to a place farther from the bombing. Every day we are exposed to bombing from warplanes that have not stopped, and we flee from place to place. Please help us with your donations so that we can leave when the crossing is opened for us.
Please help the family of a non-verbal autistic child (who has been losing weight because he only eats certain kinds of food, largely unavailable during this time) leave Gaza!
THIS DIDN’T START OCTOBER 7th!!!
New suffering🍼🧥
I am Manar from Gaza. I am the mother of the child Muhammad, who is eight months old.
Muhammad. I cannot provide diapers for him. I cannot provide milk and winter clothes for him.🧥🍼
Now I am currently using elderly diapers for him by cutting them in half and then wearing them for him.
This has caused him problems with his pelvis because of their large size. Urine comes out of it.
Our life does not stop with Muhammad itself. Our life is limited to everything.
Help Muhammad by providing diapers, milk, and even children’s clothes, because winter is upon us and he does not have winter clothes.
Please help Muhammad.

the islamophobia in my own country is shocking to me. instead of showing support to the country facing genocide, they are siding with a country who masks ethnic cleansing as "self-defense" just to be on their good side and any muslim or non-muslim that is supporting palestine online is getting death threats in their inbox and comments. i myself got told that i should leave my own fucking country by my own fucking people because i support palestine. my heart aches witnessing this and i just can't imagine how palestinians must be feeling. i will pray for the people there and i am sending all my love and support out.
Genocide flattens every discussion. There are no new conversations to be had about the destruction, death and cruelty. After more than a year, there is nothing left to be said about various media houses, corporations and international bodies of law aiding and abetting all that has been happening in Gaza, either. It is the banality of evil, it is colonialism. However even in this atrociously banal circumstance, I do think what still is a continued point of hope for Gazans and what still pushes so many of them to reach out to the world, is the support people around the globe have shown and still continue to show. Which is why I am here on behalf of the Shehab family ( @fahedshehab-new ) and requesting you to help them survive through this winter. This won't take much of your time so please read:
Fahed is currently supporting 13 family members in total- his own family and that of his sister’s.
He has to look after 8 children now, with the youngest being his son Yayha who is barely having anything to eat because the price of baby milk is exorbitantly high in Gaza.
The genocide has taken a toll on Fahed’s daughters. Sahar and Dana spent a whole year under the threat of bombs and right now instead of getting to be teenagers, they ask their father if they will survive. They have even said they don't want to live if they lose someone.
The family right now immediately needs clothes to keep them warm throughout winter. Fahed’s family is from the north and has been displaced several times before they came south. Displacement is dangerous and a silent killer because often essential items are lost and cannot be replaced in time.
Please consider that the weather has already turned colder around the world and that which is only mildly uncomfortable to us, presents a dire situation for Gazans. The families don't have a shelter and there is no way for tents to adequately protect from cold winds and rain. So right now the immediate need is for warm clothes and it can cost upto $400 per person. With THIRTEEN PEOPLE to take care of Fahed immediately needs to raise at least 5k to buy the required apparels. So please boost and donate.
Currently at $66,248. He needs to reach $71,248. Please help however you can.

Please remember that every donation, even if it is 5 dollars, is a ray of hope for the families who have lost everything.

read my sad story till the end 😔
Hello, I am Radina from Gaza, a mother of four children. We lived a very beautiful life, full of happiness and comfort. We had a beautiful and warm home that embraced and sheltered us, me and my children. It had all the means of comfort and safety. Mustafa is my eldest son. He was very good at his studies. He was studying engineering. As for my second son, he was waiting to graduate from high school in preparation for entering university. My youngest son, who is 14 years old, was one of the smartest students in his school. My youngest daughter Dana, in the third grade, always plays and frolics in her room with her friends,
until the fierce war came and destroyed all my children’s dreams. There was nothing left. We had nothing. The war came and destroyed my warm home and robbed my children of their most basic rights to complete their studies. Now we are homeless and suffering from hunger, disease, malnutrition and discomfort. There is no safe place in Gaza for me and my children to go to. This war has destroyed schools, universities, and even hospitals.
I ask you to help us rebuild our lives, live safely, and continue our lives normally. Help us build our home. Our priority is to evacuate from death and hunger. Your donation means everything to us. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart.
Every donation creates a smile. Be part of those smiles.

"Help me and my family escape this raging war in order to survive."
My name is Eyad Sami.
I have been married to Amal Mahmoud for thirteen years, and we have four children: Sami, Mohammad, Sarah, and Saad. We are from Palestine, specifically the Gaza Strip, which has been under siege for over eighteen years.
Now, we no longer have a home, and my family lives in a refugee school in the Al-Zaytoun area of northern Gaza, while I live in a tent in Deir al-Balah. I haven't seen my children or my wife for over eight months. My children and wife are suffering from continuous bombing, lack of resources to live in peace, and a shortage of food and water. Here, I am enduring severe psychological and physical pressures due to my inability to be with them and meet their needs.
I ask anyone who reads my story to look upon us with compassion and help me raise even a small amount of money so that we can leave this country and find a safe place to live. We seek a country that offers us safety and a decent life, far from wars, genocide, and lack of security. We need shelter, food, water, education, and healthcare for me and my family.
My previous account was verified by many people, but unfortunately, it was banned, and I had to create a new account. Please share my new account and help my family reach a larger audience for support and assistance.
🙏🙏
Thank you

To the people out here, DONATE IT!
A little while back, I was not educated on everything going on in Gaza. I wasn't on Social Media much, for mental health purposes, and only started hearing and seeing stuff about it when I started uploading my Watcher and other fandom artworks. The people in my life are very conservative, so I didn't see or hear any of this until around late October, I think. I can't think of the exact point in time.
Anyways, since then I have been on here more and have been seeing it more. I have been continuing to educate myself on the matter and stand proudly with Palestine. Some of my family is not happy about this at all. I honestly don't give a shit anymore. I cannot talk about it to most of the people in my family, so since I saw this post, I will say what I'm feeling here then.
She is absolutely correct. This is not normal. She and no one should have to be going through this. To be forced into making this decision is something I couldn't imagine. This is cruel. Those people are human beings. They're not toys you can just mess around with and throw away when you get bored with them. They are not livestock for you to slaughter. They have families! They have loved ones! They laugh, love, bleed, and cry just like the rest of us! They deserve justice!
I saw videos, online entries, and pictures of families, friends, and all sorts of people clutching the bodies of the people they loved most. They are grieving. Some are still processing the idea that those people are gone. Some of these people are processing the idea that they might not even make it home. The people they love were STOLEN from them and for what?
I watched videos of parents saying goodbye to their dead children. Children saying goodbye to their dead parents and friends.
I watched a video of a man sleeping next to the covered body of his childhood best friend. He refused to leave his side.
Journalists holding funerals for other fellow journalists by laying their vest on their corpses. Journalists sending their final videos and messages to their families and to the world because they know they will likely not make it home.
As of January 21:
83 journalists and media workers were confirmed dead: 76 Palestinian, 4 Israeli, and 3 Lebanese.
16 journalists were reported injured.
3 journalists were reported missing.
25 journalists were reported arrested.
There have been multiple assaults, threats, cyberattacks, censorship, and killings of family members.
(If those numbers are wrong, please let me know!)
The CPJ also reported 16 injured journalists and 3 missing journalists.
"Nothing can describe what you feel. You get to the point where you feel it's useless. But you have to show the world what's happening,” says reporter Youmna ElSayed.
The men, women, children, and others have been through and are continuing to go through things I cannot even imagine. There is not enough words to describe the anger I feel at the moment. The anger and mourning they all feel is probably greater than any anger. Why? Because those people are innocent. Those people had and are still having their loved ones, homes, pets, hospitals, schools, EVERYTHING stolen from them.
Since the war started, 25,105 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, while another 62,681 have been wounded.
They are purposely starving these people. 570k+ people have been starving due to war fallout. Prior to the current hostilities, 1.2 million of Gaza’s 2.2 million people were estimated to be facing acute food insecurity, and over 80 percent were reliant on humanitarian aid.
On November 28, the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics said that Gaza is suffering from at least a US$1.6 million daily loss in farm production and the Palestine Food Security Sector, led by the WFP and the Food and Agriculture Organization, reported that over a third of agricultural land in the north had been damaged in the hostilities. Satellite imagery reviewed by Human Rights Watch indicates that since the start of the Israeli military's ground offensive on October 27, agricultural land, including orchards, greenhouses, and farmland in northern Gaza, has been razed, apparently by Israeli forces.
“The Israeli government is compounding its collective punishment of Palestinian civilians and the blocking of humanitarian aid by its cruel use of starvation as a weapon of war,” Shakir said. “The deepening humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza calls for an urgent and effective response from the international community.”
They are doing everything in their power to ensure that the Palestinian people are wiped from the map. I looked a few thing up this week and I was reading this:
"According to a January 2024 analysis, Israel's aerial bombardment and ground invasion of Gaza is responsible for over 99% of the 281,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalent generated in the first 60 days after the October 7 Hamas attack.
The carbon emissions from the first few weeks of the war are equivalent to the annual energy use of around 2,300 homes, or the annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from around 4,600 passenger vehicles.
The war has also destroyed sanitation and water treatment systems, and left a new layer of toxic chemicals in Gaza's soil. Israel has also targeted the environment by destroying essential infrastructure, such as limiting water, electricity, and fuel supplies to Gaza.
The conflict has also raised energy prices, which could mean that energy security concerns will take precedence over energy transition initiatives. This could entrench the power of fossil fuel interests worldwide."
If you support israel, you aren't just killing Palestine, but you are literally helping to doom our planet. They are genocidal monsters. In October 2023, Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said, "We are fighting against human animals". Comments about fighting "human animals," making Gaza a slaughterhouse, and erasing the Gaza Strip are key components of the ICJ genocide case.
Dan Gillerman, the former Israeli ambassador to the United Nations, also called Palestinians "inhuman animals." Are these really the people you want to support? Like I stated earlier, those HUMAN BEINGS are NOT livestock. To dehumanise, mock, starve, slaughter, and terrorise those innocent people, is downright disgusting. I am not religious, but if I were I would say that there is a special place in Hell for people like that.
Before you support anyone, or anything, please research, ask around, do anything in your power to educate yourself and support what you believe because you know it is the right and just thing. It can be scary to be around people in your life who are completely against your beliefs and who you are as a whole, believe me, I get it, but thinking and believing/supporting what you believe, for yourself, because you believe it, is an amazing feeling. Think for yourself! If the people in your life support israel and there's no way for you to protest safely, if you have private access to online forums, then do your best to just read up as much as you can. Educating yourself is the first step.
I am still trying to find as many resources as possible to help spread awareness and support. So please, to anyone who is currently uninformed like I was, or just doesn't know how to help/bring support to the genocide going on right now, you can do these things to help:
Call or email your representatives about this. I saw a website the other day. You can join the AFSC online for weekly Action Hour for a Cease-Fire. Every Friday, they share updates from AFSC’s staff in Gaza, tips for advocacy, and then make calls and write letters to Congress. So, I would definitely recommend checking them out! You can sign up for Action Hour -> here
Here is a book you can read. It's about 12 Palestinian writers writing about what they dream for the future of Gaza. The book is called “Light in Gaza: Writings Born of Fire.”
Here's a collection of Palestinian books you can buy: Free Palestine! books
Humanitarian Aid for the Palestinian people: here
Research the subject. Talk to people, whether that be online or in-person. Any source of information you can get is useful.
Avoid companies that you know are in support of the genocide. If you do not know the companies, ask a friend or look up online what companies are supporting Israel. Here is a link to that: here.
I am going to be doing this myself, but even online, like many people have been doing, you can add the flag or something in your bio to show support such as the Palestinian flag or the phrase "Free Palestine!" to make others aware of your support.
Join protests, make art. Whatever it takes to spread the message out into the world to help these people, please do it!
The year has just started, let's do out best to be there for each other and stick together! Whatever help and support you offer will not go unnoticed!
I wish everyone a safe and pleasant night (or day where you come from). Let's do our best! If this helps/informs even one person, I am happy! Thank you for reading! 💛
❤️🖤🤍💚
To the deceased Journalists, we will never forget you. Thank you for everything you've done.

Noor Harazeen you are the world's hero. You're completely correct, this is not normal. This is evil and no human needs to make these decisions.
This is madness
I don't know what to say. I mean, i don't like study but the kids need it like me who need it. But they just cannot continue doing that. At least the kids already in the better place.
For real bro! Like I'm literally lazy on the campus but this kid is suffering just to live. What the hell? I guess i need to be grateful.

Life in Gaza has become like movies, but unfortunately this is the truth, the nightmare is not over, wherever you go, destruction, hunger, fear deprived us of the most basic necessities of life, food that is not available, unclean water and polluted air. Life has become very, very tiring, they deprived my children of education, life has become expensive. I wish you to share the post and help me on the link in the bio. Your donation to me, my friend, saves the lives of a family and children crying from hunger. Your donation makes us alive.
