toshiyuki mimaki, co-chair of Hidankyo, the A-bomb survivors’ group that won nobel peace prize, said: 'Gaza right now is like Japan 80 years ago' and had thought the prize would go to those working hard in Gaza, not to Hidankyo.

arundhati roy, winning the PEN pinter prize, in her speech at the british library: "Not all the power and money, not all the weapons and propaganda on earth can any longer hide the wound that is Palestine."

alaa abdel fattah, who was named PEN Writer of Courage by Roy, is in egyptian prison. but in 2021 his mother brought his letters from prison on gaza: Free Jerusalem; tranquil Alexandria, Bride of the Sea; Beirut, the Sheltering Tent — the symbols seem more real than the cities. But Gaza and Cairo are both cities that resist romanticization and so elude song. No one sings to Cairo, but it is the capital of the Arabs. No one sings to Gaza either, but it remains the indisputable capital of Palestine. Both are always present in a crisis. [...]

Do I have the right to dream of escaping to Gaza? Do I have the right to dream of a road to Cairo that passes through Gaza? Does a captive have the right to ask for help from the besieged? I know that these questions show how ancient I am, but I’m an Arab and Palestine’s always on my mind. And, in my defense, I’ll say that I refused to be humiliated in my country, and I never lowered my banners, and it should count that I stood in the face of my oppressors: an orphan, naked and barefoot, and my solace is that the tragedy I’m living is but my share of yours. I call out to you: you are always on my mind."

it costs 5k USD per adult and 2.5k USD per child

if you want to raise this money via GOFUNDME it has to be arranged by someone who is NOT living in Palestine because GFM does not release money to Palestine. GFM also verifies every detail so it has to be accurate so you need someone who is out of Palestine and also familiar with the bureaucracy.

once you raise the money one of your FIRST ORDER RELATIVES have to deposit this money IN CASH and IN PERSON at the Cairo offices of a company called hala. this person cannot be a Palestinian male under 40 because they are not allowed to be Egypt without a permit

once you pay the money you have to WAIT for your names to be published by Egyptian military at the Rafah crossing and the you have 24 hours to get out

it is a very long and convoluted process that is impossible for most Palestinians who do not have contacts in other counties. Please please donate to the GFMs you see floating around because they’ve been verified and this is only the first step in an arduous journey. Once in Cairo, Palestinians aren’t allowed to work so they need money for their support also.

gazafunds.com loads a randomized fundraiser for people with this anxiety

the shehab family needs to raise €85k to evacuate reem, fahed, their children, and fahed's sister's family. they had to raise their goal from their initial €50k goal, which they still have not met. €47,793 / €85,000 has been raised as of sept. 4th. the fundraiser is verified here. reblog. donate. thank you.

tagging for reach under the cut. dm me if you'd like to be removed.

Mahmoud's family narrowly escaped the bombing of Talelhawa neighborhood, many of them getting severely injured in the process.

Only his sister and her daughter has managed to evacuate so far. The rest of his 17 person family is still trapped in Ghazza, injured, and in inhumane conditions.

To bring the remaining members of his family to safety and treat their injuries, Mahmoud is attempting to raise $80,000 CAD. Currently, he's only been able to raise $13.

Please help this family however you can. Donate if you're able to donate and share their campaign.

The random shelling was very close the tent where my family are staying; unjustly; my family witnessed a very difficult time and they woke up from their sleep and thought that the missiles were in the place where they set up their tent, but they survived. This is the fifth time that my family has been exposed to real danger in their displacement and they have not survived. There is no safe place in Gaza.

They survived but Every single day, every single moment, my family witnesses moments of terror that the human mind has never imagined.

Mahmoud's campaign barely has any donations! His family faces frequent bombings and has only managed to narrowly survive!!! How many more times do they have to wake up to seeing the neighbours next to them having been killed from the shelling? Please help support and evacuate his family to safety!!

Deyaa is a 15 yo from Gaza, I have posted about his previous campaign, after getting the money needed to evacuate but not being able to because Israel closed the border, he was bombed and lost both his arms.

Not long before Deyaa being injured his mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, please help us spread this campaign to help them cover basic needs and medical expenses, donate if you can any amount will make a difference.

If anyone has any information about medical evacuation for people in Gaza please reach out, the hospital where Deyaa is being treated is located in an area that is currently being invaded by the IOF.

(campaign shared/vetted by 90-ghost here and here)

Hi guys, I've posted about my friends Rajaa (@rajaagaza) and Khaled (@khaled-gaza) before, but I'm making another post to raise awareness for their fundraising efforts. Rajaa and Khaled are a young married couple from Gaza, and they've been trying to raise the money necessary to evacuate into Egypt for months, with little success.

Rajaa makes it a point to message me as frequently as she can, and it is always the highlight of my day. I feel incredibly lucky to know her; she is a truly wonderful friend. It pains me, however, that I cannot do more to help her. As you can read in the messages above, she and her family are desperately in need of our help. Her 18 month old son Karam is suffering from extreme malnutrition and prolonged psychological distress. They desperately need to evacuate to Egypt when the border opens again, which could happen any day now.

I am turning to you for your assistance in raising the funds they need. Rajaa and Khaled have managed to raise $9,939 CAD so far. They need $20,000 CAD to be able to evacuate and survive once in Egypt. They're almost exactly halfway to their goal!

If you have the means, a donation of $5 CAD (equivalent to roughly $3.60 USD) would make a significant impact on their fundraising efforts. Rajaa and Khaled's goal is extremely achievable, but momentum has slowed down to almost a complete halt recently. They cannot afford for this to keep happening. Khaled's account has been deleted in the past, and his new account was recently shadowbanned. This is very detrimental to their campaign. I am begging you to help keep momentum going for them- to help them hold onto hope. This is their only lifeline.

Thank you so much if you've donated to their campaign already, and if you've been sharing it with your friends or reblogging it here. Your assistance has truly made such a difference in Rajaa, Khaled and Karam's life.

Let's continue to help them together.

$9,939 CAD/ $20,000 CAD

Donating via paypal allows Rajaa and Khaled to buy food and daily needs while they continue to raise their evacuation fund:

This whole thing has gotten Ahmed to the point where he admits he’s started to hate tumblr after 12 years of being on here. He has over 3k messages in his inbox and can’t handle it right now, his brother and other family members are still in Gaza and he himself doesn’t have the money to help them out. I’ve noticed that donations have slowed among palestinian fundraisers in general, before this whole debacle that a few individuals on this site started. this is anecdotal, but I know Ahmed gets like $30-$50 per week in donations at this point, and that barely makes a dent in his and his family’s needs. Remember that people in Gaza need to pay massively inflated prices for what basic necessities are available right now. I think things are looking pretty dire to the people who would like to flee Gaza but don’t have the money. It already was dire that Egyptian government, working in lockstep with Israel and the west, charges $5k+ to Ghazzawis. Hala Agency, Ibrahim Al-Argani, and the other scumbags running the Egyptian state are all demons and they’ve lined their pockets throughout this genocide. But I digress—it was dire already and now the enthusiastic aid that helped people like Ahmed seems to have run dry.

All that is to say: Ahmed can’t continue to verify peoples’ documents or promote their fundraisers at this stage. He’s privately talked to hundreds of Ghazzawis and looked at their IDs, and he was the only person doing it for a while (a very small handful of other Palestinian users on here were doing it, but they’ve also gotten overwhelmed and stopped). When he was in Gaza, Ahmed was displaced multiple times, left sleeping in tents or on the streets while in active physical danger, starving, forced to drink unsafe water, and often sick. It’s not an exaggeration to say that his body and mind have been pushed to the limit. When he told me he’s depressed all day after doing this work while attracting a ton of negativity, I told him he’s allowed to stop for the sake of his own health, because frankly he needs to focus on his physical recovery. There’s nothing selfish about that, it’s not sustainable for him to be doing this, particularly not when he’s still under the immense stress of his brother and other relatives remaining in Gaza and relying on him for help.

Since I know people will ask: I currently don’t know of anyone on tumblr who still vets fundraisers. Everyone I know of who did has had to stop. I don’t know about the inner workings of Operation Olive Branch, but they seem to be one of a few collectives with enough members to distribute this work. It IS work, and those of us who have tried to do it have done so with a low failure rate (el-shab-hussein and nabulsi’s spreadsheet had over 200 entries and they misidentified a scam as legitimate ONCE). I hope everyone will be more considerate towards the people at collectives like OOB.

We created this site as a way to give others quick access to these fundraisers for informational purposes only.

My family hails from Rameh and Nazareth, and like many Palestinians, we're spread out across the globe. Born and raised in the United States by my migrant parents, I've always felt a strong connection to my roots and a need to contribute to the cause back home.Combining my skills in 3D printing, design, and e-commerce seemed like the right way to make a difference. So, here we are. Operation Watermelon is my way of merging my passion with purpose, creating items that not only tell a story but also contribute to a cause close to my heart.It's about doing what we can, with what we have, wherever we are in the world. Thanks for being part of this journey.
