And I'll Sing the Dead a Melody

Yesterday, Abdul Rahman's mother passed away.

He [@abdulrahman-family1] is beyond devastated, and this is his greatest loss. The earth feels heavy, the tears won't stop falling... Imagine losing somebody who is everything to you. This is how Abdul Rahman felt about his dear mother. He said he can't imagine life without her. Imagine the empty bed next to him, where she used to be...

A few days ago, she was hospitalized. They gave her sedatives, and Abdul Rahman was told that "she doesn't need to be awake now." After that, they discovered that the cancer had spread to her bones, and she never woke up again. Imagine not even being able to say the last "I love you, and goodbye"... I am angry that they didn't tell him that there is nothing they can do and this is the last time he sees her awake!

I am also angry with all of the states and institutions like the World Health Organization that have failed her and him, and did not evacuate her as promised. The doctors promised she would be among the first patients evacuated. We literally begged institutions and states all over the world to evacuate her. They just let her die, knowingly...

And this hurts, this is the deepest betrayal by the world.

They let her die slowly in inhumane conditions... because of insufficient treatment in Gaza, she went through agonizing pain, unimaginable to you and me. My heart hurts so much, and is grieving together with Abdul Rahman's.

This is not just another fundraiser, I'm not going to ask you to share anything. I'm just asking you to read this and feel Abdul Rahman's pain and loss.

Because that pain and loss is not just his, but it is our loss. Our world is losing by letting kind hearts like them suffer in silence, our world has failed humanity, not just Gaza.

And let me add something...Abdul Rahman's mother didn't just die of cancer, but she was, I believe, murdered by Israel. In the recent independent study, uranium was found in Palestinian soil because of the forbidden type of weapons Israel has used. Because of that, there is a rise in aggressive cancers in Gaza, such as the gallbladder cancer she had.

For those who want to keep on supporting the family, here is the link to their fundraiser:

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Abdul Rahman's story is published in a well-known newspaper

We, activists from the Slovenian movement for Palestinian rights, have published Abdul Rahman's plea for evacuation in one of the most well-known newspapers in our country. With this, we aim to put political pressure on our leaders to evacuate students like Abdul Rahman from Gaza. In the article, we also described the failed medical evacuation of his mother, and we warned against repeating the same mistake again with Abdul Rahman's evacuation.

We keep fighting for his evacuation with hope in our hearts.🤞Please keep supporting Abdul Rahman and his family. 🙏

Link to the article (you can read it with a translator).

They need visibility.

If you donate $30 or more, I will do a free digital portrait for you.

i haven't seen many options for people outside to donate. easiest way is this fundraiser from the I Love Venezuela Foundation

you can also donate directly through zelle and binance to Organizacion Solo con Fe in barquisimeto, but !!! make sure to label it "donacion" so it can be correctly identified. everything will be used for relief in the affected zones.

lastly, Passagio is a Miami-based courier that's put a special fare of $4/lb for aid to be sent to venezuela. no profits will be made from this, that's strictly transportation costs. they're accepting: medicine, non-perishable food, hygiene products, clothing, essential supplies.
