It has been a very heavy burden on his body & soul. It's hard for him to do fundraising while in so much pain so I'm helping. Please give if you can/share.

The risk of infection is very real & could be catastrophic after invasive surgery. He doesn't have the SOAP he needs.

On a black background is a Palestinian flag and the following wording: ajplus "For months, not a single piece of soap or any type of detergent has entered the Gaza Strip. The disaster of the absence of cleaning materials goes beyond the issue of the emergence of skin diseases to the point that we see worms in patients' wounds within only 24 hours of their injury."" - DR. IZZEDDIN SHAHEEN PALESTINIAN DOCTOR IN GAZA

As California Indigenous people, we have a few things in common with Palestinian people: Colonial exploitation, land theft, famine & genocide.

My buddy Abdullah got the emergency surgery thanks to generous donations but he still very urgently needs medication...

No one on this app has helped me more than Ahmed. He has spoken with so many families while he is desperately trying to help his own. He ran into issues securing work in Germany this week to be able to send back to them so if you can help❤️❤️

Helmy's full remarks l come to the floor today as a New Jerseyan, as the only Arab American serving in the United State Senate and a human being utterly devastated- broken, even by the unfathomable scale of human suffering taking place right now in Gaza and the West Bank as a direct consequence of the Israel-Hamas conflict. This war has already claimed an estimated 44,000 lives across Gaza and the West Bank. Almost half of those killed by the bombshells and bullets of this war have been women and children teens, toddlers, infants. That's not to mention the millions more who have been displaced from their homes by this conflict and threatened by famine and illness. According to current estimates, every hour, this conflict claims the lives of 15 innocent people. Every single hour. It is reported that fully rebuilding Gaza and the West Bank after the war could take at least 200 years or more - literal centuries from now, well beyond our lifetimes. It should not matter what one's politics are, what one's religion is, what one's nationality is, or one's ethnicity. These facts should shock our conscience to the very core. On our watch, right before our eyes, we are witnessing one of the most rapid decimations of human life in recent history. Now let me be clear about a cOuple of things. have always, and continue to firmly, unquestionably, support Israel's right to exist and defend itself against all forms of terrorism and those who sponsor terrorism. vehemently condemn Hamas and the barbaric attack against Israel and its civilians on October 7, 2023, on which 1,200 innocent Israelis lost their lives a dark day in history during which Hamas a citizens. One of those hostages is New Jersey resident Edan Aiexander, a 2Cyear-old Teneli; high schoolm gradıate who should be immediately returned hemee safely along with all remaining hostages. Again, all human beings, regardless of political persuasion or ideology, should be devastated by the widespread loss of human life and human suffering on all sides. But have some hard questions about what is causing the scale of suffering in Gaza and the West Bank, and why we are seemingly unable to alleviate it in any significant way. These questions are not abstract; they stem from what have seen and heard with my own eyes and ears during a recent official trip to Jordan to assess the state of humanitarian assistance in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon. What saw was this: there is a de facto blockade of even the most basic aid supplies getting through Kerem Shalom crossing, the only viable point of entrance for aid to Gaza and the West Bank. This blockade has severely restricted the amount of aid to make it to the desperate Palestinians whose lives literally depend on it. Just today, it was reported that nearly 100 trucks transporting lifesaving aid were violently looted at gunpoint adding yet another unique challenge to getting aid to civilians. The effects of this chokepoint have resulted in other absurd outcomes. I recently toured warehouses, including one that U.S. Secretary of State Blinken toured himself stocked to the very brim, practically overflowing, with lifesaving aid supplies. This blockade has prevented the safe transport of those supplies into Gaza and the West Bank, where just miles away, women, children, and families are literally starving. These are pallets upon pallets of food, medication, pillows, latrines, and winterized tents to keep families warm as winter sets in all of itjust sitting there, because of a manmade blockade. What heard was this: met with medical surgeons and doctors in the Jordanian Armed Forces serving in Gaza who recounted harrowing stories of amputations on children, futile attempts to keep the malnourished alive, and operations in makeshift tents under live fire and drone strikes. These frontline providers- heroes told me … What heard was this: met with medical surgeons and doctors in the Jordanian Armed Forces serving in Gaza who recounted harrowing stories of amputations on children, futile attempts to keep the malnourished alive, and operations in makeshift tents under live fire and drone strikes. These frontline providers -heroes told me that a number of partially operational hospitals are resorting to using everyday materials, like sewing thread for clothes, to stitch up patients after surgeries because they have run out of appropriate medical supplies. That should appall every one of us. Israel's recent passage of two laws that totally ban [the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East] from operating anywhere in Palestine has of course threatened to make the problem even worse. It's irefutable that UNRWA is the primary on- the-ground provider of aid, food, and other essential services to the people of Gaza and the West Bank. Shutting down UNRWA at this time is shutting down the very nerve center of human aid and assistance within Palestine. These insights have left me with many questions. Do these actions, intent on limiting aid into Gaza and the West Bank, taken under the pretense of security operations, comply with international humanitarian laws and norms? Are these the actions we should expect from one of our closest Democratic allies in the world? Perhaps these are questions for people far more versed in the matters of war and legal compliance than me, but members of this body should be asking these same questions. Many are, andl thank them for their bold leadership. And what, exactly, are we doing to ensure that our closest allies in the Middle East are living up to humanitarian principles and human rights that we clainm to embrace and enforce around the world? My conversations with Americans of all walks have revealed a deep desire for the United States to take a more aggressive role in protecting innocent civilians suffering from the … On occasion, we have done that. thank the Biden administration for their efforts thus far to alleviate the chokepoints and expand the flow of aid into the region. also think it's important that the administration agreed with the UN Security Council's statement, and I quote: "that UNRWA remains the backbone of all humanitarian response in Gaza, and that no organization can replace or substitute UNRWA's capacity and mandate to serve Palestinian refugees and civilians in urgent need of lifesaving humanitarian assistance." Howeve, so much more needs to and must be done. As we entera new Congress and a new administration takes office next year, the United States government will and should continue debating the enormously complex policy and geopolitical issues that are at stake in the Middle East. But l am not here to opine on the Gordian Knot of Middle East policy, nor do pretend to have cure-all solutions to problems that have been plaguing the region for many decades. I've traveled through several states over the last two months, and spoke with many students with Arab and Muslim Americans, and many others who were deeply concerned with the crisis. The conversations were thoughtful, and reflected the complexity of the situation. One can call terrorism what it is: terrorism. One can stand up and support Israel and the Jewish people worldwide. And yet one can speak to the truth that the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the West Bank is simply unacceptable. When asked a young man what he hoped to see, he said to me simply, want to see the world say and show that the life of a Palestinian child is just as valuable as the life of a child anywhere else in the world." simply will conclude where began. My fervent plea is for all of us in this body and in our country, to see what is happening in the Middle East through the lens of our humanity. First and foremost, no human should be worth less than another based on which side of the checkpoint or crossing they may live on. Perhap…

I am going to try to keep adding accounts here as I work through the Palestinian accounts here.

I am going to make this 🧵 to answer as many common questions about these accounts as well as other Gazan GoFundMes as I can so put a 📌 in it if you need a central location for these questions.

Laila lost her husband in the war when he was out getting food and is in North Gaza with 6 kids (three of whom are deaf) all alone- I’ve spoken with her on video call. She could use your help.

If an Indigenous elder wants to tell you gossip about another Indigenous elder, LISTEN WELL. It's going to be a really crazy story.

Imagine all the crazy stuff your buddies get up to, then add 50 yrs of compounding crazy.

Elder wants to spill the tea? Listen, take notes. = A transfer of knowledge
