The Israeli occupation army officially announces the return of war on Gaza and the failure of negotiations 😭

Hello 👋 my ❤ friends ! I am asking you to support my newly created campaign to help my family survive the gruesome war over Gaza to safety and ✌️ peace. Life has become incredibly harsh, tough and full of hardship and painful suffering. We lack all he basic living essentials and necessities such as food, water , medicine and other needs. The war has made our life hopeless and desperate. My six-member family has been going through the hardest days they have ever experience for almost eleven months due to the disastrous war. The war has taken every beautiful thing from us, leaving us homeless, displaced and jobless. The rising prices of all necessary items of life has complicated our living conditions especially when all our savings were spent over the least necessities and needs. So I am now asking you to lessen and minimize our burdens and loads of life through your contribution. You can help my family survive through donating whatever you can or reposting my messages. Yours Rewaa My tumbler account: https://www.tumblr.com/rewaa04?source=share My Gofundme account: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-rawaas-family-restore-hope-and-safety

what I wish people would understand about fundraising for gaza is that while everyone is desperate and I would never say not to fundraise for or donate to individual families-- I currently fundraise to support multiple friends' families-- the overwhelming narrative I see on Tumblr that the best and most ethical thing you can do is send money to individuals and there is no option for anything else is so so incredibly damaging and inadvertently lends support to the marginalization and distrust of any remaining communal social infrastructure. the sameer project, which you should donate to, talks about this in a recent video they put out. the situation in gaza is unimaginable and everyone is in need of a huge level of support, and yet this fundraising discourse by well-meaning people in the west that donating money to individuals is the only moral way reproduces societal divides wherein resources are directed to people who speak English, who have relationships with people outside of gaza, and who have internet access while hundreds of thousands are left behind.

there ARE non-ngo locally based grassroots initiatives working to meet those needs however they can, and your small donation goes a lot further with them because they are able to buy food/water/supplies in bulk at a reduced price and reach more people with less money. again I'm not saying people shouldn't fundraise for individuals because these initiatives are so limited and many people cannot access them -- but as an example, the group I fundraise with is currently serving people fleeing north gaza who are starving and have nothing, and when we fundraise enough to do cash aid distribution there's so much need that our partners can only distribute 100-200 per large family. and then I go online and see people who have absolutely no understanding of this context at all exclusively working towards raising tens of thousands for just a few people when evacuations haven't been possible for months. it's good to do whatever you can but please consider how this narrative being reproduced among westerners trying to help that there are no other options has the potential to damage groups working towards equity and wider reach however is still possible

Urgent Appeal – A Mother and Her Children in Desperate Need

Dear Kind Souls,My name is Noor, a mother of three children, 2 girls 5 years old and a 9-month-old baby. For the past one and a half years, we have been living in a tent after our home was destroyed in the war on Gaza. We have no shelter, no food, and no source of income. Every day, we live in fear, hunger, and cold, struggling to survive.

My children cry from hunger, their small bodies shiver from the cold, and I am powerless to provide for them. I am reaching out to you with a mother's desperate plea—please help us survive.

We have lost everything, but your kindness can give us hope. Any donation, no matter how small, can mean the difference between life and death for my children. If you are unable to donate, please reblog last post in your bage—it could save a life.

To donate and help:

May your generosity be rewarded with endless blessings.

Hello 👋, I hope you're doing well..

My name is Mahmoud, and I'm a 17-year-old from Gaza. The ongoing war has devastated my city, destroyed my school, and made daily life incredibly challenging.

Despite these hardships, I'm determined to continue my education and build a better future. I've been given a chance to study abroad, but I need help to cover the costs of leaving Gaza, as well as living expenses and other essentials abroad once the crossing opens.. 🙏

If you can, please consider donating or sharing, your kindness can truly make a difference, and thanks for your time. ❤🍉

They're wanting to change the definition of water to see which water would qualify under the Clean Water Act...I wish I was making this up.

What this means, in layman's terms, is that not all water or wetlands would be under environmental protections, so some could legally be dumped in, scraped out of, or otherwise harmed.

The comment period for this is pretty short (just a few days left!) so please submit comments asking for ALL water to be protected.

Everyone listen and don't ignore me, I really need you to help me participate and donate. Today, bombs were dropped near our tent and my family and I were displaced to the north because of the violent bombing. We moved to a far place on foot while we were fasting and we did not find a safe place to sit in. We did not sleep except in the street. I need you. Donate Here
