Don't unlearn all that you now know about the crimes of Israel
Don't forget about the stolen land of Palestine
Don't stop your financial aids and contributions in sharing links and stories! They will all the help they can get! Thousands have no homes now. Thousands still need medical attention.
Don't stop pressuring your country to stop funding Israel
Don't stop boycotting those who support Israel
This is still an occupation. There's freedom to fight for
Hello friends 🕊,
🙏❤️🩹🌷🙏🕊🌷
My family and I are from Gaza, and right now, we are living through unimaginable hardships as the war rages on around us. Every day is a struggle for survival, but we continue to hold onto hope, despite the overwhelming challenges❤️🩹.
We’ve started a donation campaign, and even the smallest contribution could be the lifeline we so desperately need. In these dark times, your support could make all the difference🥺.
If you're unable to donate, simply sharing our story can help us reach those who might be able to lend a hand. Every action, big or small, matters🌷.
Thank you from the depths of our hearts for standing with us in this moment of crisis. Your kindness gives us strength👪 when we need it most. 🙏❤️

In the heart of the siege, even bread has become a dream. 🍞💔
In Gaza,hunger is no longer just a feeling; it has become a constant companion, a heavy shadow that follows us at every moment.🕊️
My family of 6 has been worn down by the merciless hunger, and searching for our daily sustenance has become a daily battle. Yesterday, desperation and need drove me to go out in search of a loaf of bread. • Screams mixed with fear 📢😟. • Eyes burdened with pain 🥺💔 . Every step was a struggle against a tide of hunger and humiliation 💨🌪️. And in the end?
Help us by donating or sharing to save children and families from real famine.

since dawn, israel has killed at least 64 people in strikes targeting overcrowded homes and displacement tents — one of the deadliest mornings in Gaza since the genoc/de resumed last month.
🤍
We hope you will continue to support us by donating or sharing to help save and rebuild our lives. Every contribution matters, much appreciated ♥️😞
Many thanks to everyone who supported us.

@wayneradiotv please help my family 😞
🏳🏳🏳🏳
Imagine enduring a harsh winter in a tent made of tarpaulin, with nothing to shield you from the elements.
Every day brings the threat of freezing temperatures, and rainwater can flood our small space, putting us at risk of drowning. The cold can lead to serious health issues, such as chest infections and chronic illnesses.
You can see
I am pleading for help to save my family from this life-threatening situation.
🤍please donate if you can, folks! 🤍
Why is no one talking to me? No one checks on my family anymore. Are we no longer important, the six of us?! When will I find someone to care about us? Will it be when we are bombed or dead?
The people here helped me, and the Tumblr community is wonderful. I love you all.
But no one wants to check on my family anymore. I have four children who live every day in fear, with bombings and death, in a place without sanitation, filled with epidemics and diseases. Even food is now just canned goods. Is a child supposed to live their life here without any sweets or treats?
Are we dead?! Is that why no one answers or asks about us? Or has the world's conscience died, so they don’t think about us or inquire about us?
I created a post telling our story in black and white because my family and I are starting to lose hope. Perhaps someone will look at the pictures and read the story, realizing that this family is on the brink of becoming a memory.
My children, my wife, and I read your comments and your words, and the messages you send. Why have you stopped? No one is standing with us. You know, even internet and electricity here are hard to come by, and we walk a long way to reach a place just to tell you that we are still alive here in Gaza.
We hoped someone would fight with us, try to raise our voice to the world, send our campaign to friends, or even try to adopt our cause and reach out to people, asking them to write and share our story.
If I’m the only one here in Gaza trying to raise my family's voice and save them, I won’t succeed alone.
I'm writing this because I can't do it alone, and I hope you will support me and stand with me.
Just read this with your hearts. My family and I need your support with your own selves, minds, and consciences, not just donations, above all else.
I will attach a picture of my family here, hoping it will make someone look with their heart, talk to us, and say, “I will try to help you.”
I hope to find someone who cares about whether my family and I are still alive.
💔🙏
This is a video I took from Bisan's page because I feel like this is important. Bisan, here talks about the second winter of this genocide and some of the important points are:
the rains have caused the sea level to rise and it has flooded the tents which were set up on the beach.
speaking of tents themselves- they do not preserve heat. It is not made to preserve heat and yet gazans have had to live in these shelters for over a year
last November there still were shops; there were means of production, however little, to produce clothes, coats, and blankets that could keep people from freezing...right now there is nothing as every inch of the Gaza Strip has been carpet bombed.
Israel has blocked life sustaining supplies and fuel like coal and wood have started to run out: it is becoming impossible for people keep warm.
I don't have much to say anymore and can only request you to keep your eyes on Gaza. Gazans are struggling to survive and right now every little donation can go a long way into sustaining life. My friend, Siraj Abudayeh ( @siraj2024 ) has been struggling too and while his tent was not washed away in the waves, it did drown because of the destruction of sewage wells. He hopes that if not all, he can at least help some of the most vulnerable members of his family by continuing to rent a shelter. However since his old campaign was abruptly shut down by gofundme, he lost a lot of money and right now he can no longer afford the shelter.
To everyone who had a chance to help, you can donate or reblog. And share this to everyone.
Hello again, I am Abood from Gaza, I live in war, fear and destruction, we have been living for almost a year and a half now and we do not know how long, we have been displaced from our house more than 11 times
She got married 10 months ago amid the horrors of war. We dreamed of a bright future, but the war destroyed our home and everything we planned. We lost our livelihood after my father’s shops I worked in were destroyed after graduating with accounting. We had to move dozens of times in search of safety, but no safety here, only fear and constant death
Today, my sick wife and I live in a small tent that does not from the heat of summer or the cold of winter, amid insects and pollution that aggravates their health. I dream of surviving, traveling far from this hell, but the cost of leaving exceeds our ability
We wake up every day to the smell of death, tanks and helicopters have surrounded me more than 4 times, and every time I don’t know how to live? It seems that my death has not yet come
I beg you to reach out to save our lives, the only chance we have left is to help you

There is a big difference between saying:
We have returned to zero, and that we have returned to nothingness. And now we have returned to nothingness, unfortunately, it is unbelievable what we are experiencing of great loss that no human being can bear!💔🍉
I hope my message reaches every person who understands and feels the meaning of humanity.❤️🍉 In short, I am very tired of what has happened to us and I cry when I remember anything in every word I write.😓💔 Please, my friend, be a human being and feel with us. Donate anything to buy and pay for the basic needs only. I do not want much from you, but really, any donation is an appreciation for us. Your donation will make a difference and I feel that there is hope in this world to stand with us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who supports us in these stifling and harsh circumstances. May God bless you and give you goodness, health and wellness.🌹🍉
