I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Abdullah. Abdullah was a tailor. He is very worried about his brother Ismail who is at risk of losing his leg after it was run over at an aid distribution site. He’s also taking care of Ismail’s children Tayseer, 15, Sahar, 12 and Hoor, 8.

Please help Khaled and his family by donating and/or sharing. They’ve had no donations in almost a week. Our friends in Gaza are still in need of our financial support as aid is being limited and crossing are closed. This so called ceasefire is bringing scant relief.

‘Yet even amid this devastation, Sudanese women’s organisations are leading the response. They are running safe spaces, supporting survivors of violence, and keeping children learning where they can. ….. Their courage deserves not only recognition but also support.’

As always, women and children bear the brunt of the atrocities.
In Sudan, war is being waged on women and children
Girls are raped, boys are forced to fight and families go hungry, but the world looks away.

The Scottish Government's new Climate Change Plan is welcome, but must be matched by a laser-like focus on delivery and implementation.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Nasser. Nasser was a vegetable farmer before this, but the occupation destroyed his home and the farm he worked.

He has four children Muhammad, 11, Jana, 10, Yazan, 8 and little Adam who is only one and was born during the war. He needs help

$1199 left for Ahmad to reach his goal and begin the next stage of his life with Samar. Please do share and donate if you can. Every donation gets them closer to their goal.
Dreams Still Shine Bright ❤️

Just three nights ago, we imagined you beside us at the final step to finish strong and step into a new chapter
Today, we call on you again, reigniting hope…
May your love and your hearts bring our dream to life and open the long-awaited path.❤️

Dear Khaled and his family continue to need support in the face of continued starvation by Israel and the West.

Khaled and his sister have college dreams that occupation and genocide have derailed.

Please help them survive this to someday thrive as they deserve to!

If you’re looking to help a family who hasn’t raised much Reham has raised under $500 and hasn’t had a donation in almost a month ❤️
I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Reham. Reham is the primary caregiver for her 3 children Joan, 7, Emad, 6 and Kenan, 4. Her husband has a chronic illness and unfortunately cannot help much. They recently were able to return to their home but found it completely destroyed.

'Political courage is now needed if we are not to miss the targets by a very wide margin' says the Commission.

And let's be honest, if the Scottish Gov is to deliver on its child poverty, climate and other key goals it's going to need courage AND cash.

Mahmoud is asking for help covering $450 of his brother's university fees this semester (his uncle has kindly loaned them $637.32). I think we can get this covered for them!

For two years, I’ve been studying using only my phone 📱
My eyes get tired from the small screen and the weak light, and without proper lighting, I often study in the dark 😔
It’s been a real struggle, but despite everything, I still have hope to continue my journey and graduate🎓♥️

Many of the people I’m in touch with on Gaza are desperate to be able to continue their education.
Please do help Mahmoud by donating and/or sharing. He’s in need of $650 to pay his brother’s fees so he can carry on studying.

This is a sobering read - the scale of the task, lack of support and equipment. The need to honour those martyred and provide some answers for the living who’s relatives are below the rubble.
The grim task of recovering thousands of bodies from the rubble of Gaza
Relatives and experts tell of the human and societal need to find and identify the dead, while images and data shed light on the scale of the job
