Nothing has changed. Not enough aid is getting in. No money for rebuilding has reached Palestinians. Please check out the fundraiser in the replies of the below post, donate or at least share. Thank you
Folks, Israel is not letting aid in which means Palestinians continue to have to buy food on the black market from Israel sponsored gangs. If you can donate a little money to the fundraisers we're posting, you can keep someone alive. Palestinians wouldn't beg if they didn't have to.

UNRWA has enough food outside #Gaza to supply people there for 3 months, amid desperate need. Our teams stand ready to deliver it.

But despite the #ceasefire, the Israeli Authorities’ block on UNRWA bringing any supplies into Gaza still continues.

Let us get aid into Gaza at the full scale needed.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door. 

It wasn’t the feds —  it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

This explains a lot. For a moment, I wondered why they'd do something as ridiculous as drop agents on the roof of the apartment building from helicopters, but of course, they did it for this footage. The same reason they were marching in formation downtown and snatched a family in Millennium Park.
DHS posted a sizzle reel about it.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

There is a level of shame I feel at this that is difficult to express.

How long will it take for western journalism institutions to condemn this? How many more Palestinian journalists will be killed by Israel by the time this happens, if ever?
Israel assassinated journalist Anas Al-Sharif and his entire Al-Jazeera TV crew in Gaza today.

CPJ warned of Israeli smear campaign against him, but few Western media outlets or journalists spoke out in defense of their Palestinian colleagues. Their silence is cowardly and shameful.

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all:

“If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.”

Israel just killed him.

Please spend some money on the fundraisers I'm posting. We can't let them starve while our tax money bombs them. I'm in touch with all of them & I can tell they're not scammers because I speak Arabic like a 5-year-old & can only write in Arabizi, but they understand...just like my Palestinian family

Our hearts are heavy for the grieving family of Jaime Alanis, who died from injuries sustained during a chaotic raid on Thursday.

We will do everything we can to support them. We continue to work with the hundreds of farm worker families navigating the aftermath of this violent raid.
