What can You Do for Palestinians in Gaza
Felt super sad today knowing 10,000s, 100,000s, perhaps 2 million Palestinian people are starving in Gaza (21 June 2025). So, it’s not enough, but I’ve written (below) this 5 things you…

Maybe 100,000s are starving in Palestine, and it's not enough, but didn't feel right to do nothing (and yes hostages must be freed).
Had a go at 5 things we can maybe do to take action for #palestine and #gaza
Do what we can. Save lives.

The cold is seeping into our broken apartment we have no doors or windows,and the freezing wind cuts through the night. My kids shiver and I can’t keep them warm. Winter has just begun, but it already feels unbearable
I need $400 to cover the openings and keep my little ones safe❤️🩹

There are plenty of houses. We need to stop letting corporations buy up massive amounts of residential space to turn into tourist houses and short term rentals. We need more actual people, individuals, buying and selling. 50 year mortgages ain't it, but neither is building more.

Obviously it's never an unpopular move to take money away from lawyers. I get that. But if you make it uneconomical to work as a solicitor or barrister suing the Government, then that same Government can essentially do whatever it wants without fear of being stopped in the courts.
