#rafah border

i see people making art and telling others to use it because fundraisers with art are generally reblogged more often. i see people using colored text in order to make the post more eye catching.

palestinians on instagram are using popular audios and stitch trending reels at the beginning to make the world pay attention to them. imagine having to make something look entertaining in order to survive.

they are living under constant threat of israeli airstrikes, bombing, scarcity of food and disease. many have lost a lot in the past few months.

palestinians on tumblr are posting their pictures and the horrible conditions in which they are living. they travel long distances for internet connection only to be called a scammer by some privileged ass who cannot locate gaza on a map.

here are some verified gfms. please share the linked posts. it's the bare minimum we can do from the comforts of our home.

There is nowhere left to go.

The lowest cost is $5,000 USD to flee to Egypt. There has been people paying over $10,000 USD.

That is the only option

Pay or die.

Rafah was the only place in Palestine promised not to be bombed. That promise is broken.

1.5 million people have nowhere to go!

I'm selling beaded earrings to fundraise for a Palestinian-run charity! Please share and donate if you can!

Edit below cut:

"If I don't steal, someone else will."

The Rafah border is closed but the US and Israel are pressuring President Sisi to allow them to displace the Palestinians into the Sinai Desert. So far, Sisi has only deployed soldiers to the border. He is being offered a lot of money too (the numbers range from $20-150 billion) but understands that this would anger Egyptians, who know that this would be ethnic cleansing, and therefore destabilise the country.

In the meanwhile we're looking at massacres so horrific and apocalyptic, that even Germany is having misgivings

Our joy and the joy of the people here in Gaza are immense.

I would like to thank you all for standing by me and my family during the war.

However, our joy is not complete yet, as we have not reached our goal of leaving Gaza when the crossing opens in two days.

I need your support and to share my story. We have reached €18,173, and we are halfway to our goal of €29,000 to be able to leave Gaza.
