"In the midst of war and famine, my father is lighting a fire to cook food for our family". 👀

We are living in Gaza under the weight of difficult circumstances, where gas is unavailable and basic necessities are non-existent. Every day is a struggle, filled with hunger and fear, as we fight to meet even the most basic needs. 🚨🚨

I am reaching out today with all my strength: we are in urgent need of help. 💔💔🙏🏻

My father, despite his old age and health condition, cannot work due to the harsh situation. We all live in constant fear of what the future holds. The prices of food have become accessible only to the wealthy, and we have no money to afford even the most basic meals. 😨😨💔

I thank a friend who donated and we bought these things to meet our needs of food supplies and vegetables. 🩵🙏🏻

Your donation could make the difference between life and death for us. 🫶🏻

Please, do not leave my family to suffer alone during these tough times. Every contribution, no matter how small, will truly make a difference. We need your help to secure food, medicine, and give us hope in these dark days. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

We’re still in desperate need — food is scarce, prices are high, and every day feels heavier.

Even a small donation means survival for my family.

Please, if you see this, share or help if you can.

You might be our only hope today. 💔🙏

Based on the Witch hat atelier ch. 85 cover, but with the Hero of Time!

tl;dr:

israel lets very, very little aid get into gaza. even the UN can't get in as much as they want to. funding individual families, gazan led initiatives, and mutual aid collectives operating out of gaza ensures gazans can provide for themselves and pay for the extremely expensive aid that is available.

with all the civil infrastructure destroyed by israel, the situation on the ground has devolved into unrestricted capitalism, driving up the price of aid (that should be free!). this makes it more urgent for people to have funding for daily survival.

the post linked above has examples of how donating to individual families can help a lot. if you want to help more than one family at a time, there are many gazan-led initiatives focusing on rebuilding their infrastructure and distributing aid fairly that are worth donating to instead of large charities that already get the majority of donations.

as i mentioned in the last post: @/careforgaza on twitter is a nonprofit started by gazans, it's been endorsed by multiple palestinian journalists.

the sameer project is a collective organized by diaspora palestinians offering emergency shelter to gazans.

ele elna elak is a project aiming to bring water, food, shelter, etc. to gazans and has been promoted by bisan owda.

and the municipality of gaza itself is fundraising to rebuild water infrastructure.

all of these organizations are active inside gaza right now and are being run by gazans. if anyone knows of other gazan-led mutual aid projects, nonprofits or charities feel free to link them in the notes! hope this helped!

long answers under the cut!
