This is for every person who has a heart and for every person who has emotions and feelings. Have you ever felt the loss of the person you love the most? Have you felt sleeping in a tent in the street while the rain falls on you? Have you experienced your house being bombed on your head and your family dying and you being the only one left and your foot being injured and when you want to treat your foot it is amputated without anesthesia after the occupation destroyed 90% of hospitals? Have you experienced many things that are unjust to humanitarian laws? Feel with us, we are human beings like you. We had jobs and a normal life, but Gaza is no longer the same as before. All those who live in Gaza have lost many things, but now we are looking for something to live on and fate brought me here for you to donate and participate with me. Be with me and fate. Thank you to those who helped with anything. Don’t make me cry. I am waiting for something from you to make me happy. This is not everything. I mentioned some of the pain we are living. You can donate here to make hearts that have been broken happy.

Anas has gastric cancer.

Anas (@dr-anas96) is severely suicidal and is dying on the inside in every sense of the word. Mentally he feels his life is over, and physically he's barely moving anymore, only occasionally coming to consciousness and vomiting blood.

I'm begging you from the bottom of my heart not to let my friend die. This entire time, during this genocide he's living through, he's been:

Supporting his elderly parents find shelter through the collapse of their tent.

Supporting the children of Gaza by cheering them up through drawing and acting and other activities, as well as teaching them survival skills.

Corresponding and reinforcing solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community, and the Black community.

Being an invaluable friend to many, including me.

Now, with some reprieve for Gazans seemingly so close, he is dying. I don't use this word lightly because I don't want to believe my dear friend is dying. I am only saying it because I have no escape from believing it

But I still have hope that we can carry him through this so he can see the end of this difficult road. I am not giving up on him and I'm begging, begging, begging, begging you all not to give up either. We're so close.

I am now in a state of extreme frustration. I am the only one who helps my family and I can't give them a loaf of bread to eat, I swear to you I am very tired, all I want is to see my family eat some food, I beg you to help me, a bag of flour costs 100$

You are the only hope ❤️🙏

white t girl i love you. and also do not forget that you are not the modern martyr for the oppressed voice. that's still black girls. it's always been black girls. stories of black martyrdom simply don't make it into the news cycle until the unrest caused by its reporting can be packaged as a "riot" segment between traffic reports. i know you suffer, but whatever you're experiencing, i beg you, when interacting with your community and building nuanced understandings of each other and the system which binds us, to not forget that a black tgirl has felt it 100 times worse before positioning yourself as an authority on all systems of oppression for having suffered unjustly at all. because you have suffered unjustly, but suffering unjustly as a white person means something so much different.

Hossam Al-Qazzaz and his family were finally able to move into their newly rebuilt tent... And now, it looks likely they will be displaced yet again.

In the early hours of March 17/18, 2025, the ceasefire in Gaza collapsed. Airstrikes lit up the dark night, killing over 400 people.

Sleeping in their tent in the Khan Kunis displacement camp, the Al-Quzzaz family had a nightmarish awakening: their tent collapsing on top of them, their belongings catching fire from the blast.

Hossam, his wife Hanan, and their four children—Bashar (9), Hani (8), Diana (4), and 4-month-old Habiba—managed to scramble out of the wreckage.

Video: Clip from a ten minute Al-Jazeera video, featuring Hossam, as he recounts the night his family's tent was destroyed in an airstrike.

"Miraculously, we survived," Hossam wrote to us the next morning, assuring us he and his family were unharmed. The tent, however, was completely destroyed.

“By the grace of the Creator, we were not physically harmed, but we are psychologically and morally broken,” Hossam wrote in the March 19th update on the family's GoFundMe page. “... our hearts are still trembling until now, because we have lost everything. Our tent was completely destroyed, just as our house was destroyed before, and we are now homeless, without food, without clothes, without money…”

The devastating blow was softened a little by the kindness of others; thanks to everyone who donated to the Chuffed campaign our founder, Bethany Grace, created to help the family rebuild, we were able to send the Al-Qazzaz family $788 (€697.48 after conversion)—enough to start constructing another shelter out of sturdy materials.

Hossam, skilled in construction, has been hard at work for the past few weeks, clearing out the debris and reconstructing the family's shelter with materials he was able to obtain.

Every day, Hossam toiled to rebuild his family's shelter. And every long night, the family could barely sleep as brutal airstrikes continued to light up the night.

“The sounds of bombings are everywhere,” Hossam wrote to us one evening. “And the planes fly at a close distance. And fires everywhere.”

A few days ago, the family was able to move back into their shelter together.

But today, Hossam sent us a message that made our blood run cold:

“The tanks are approaching and are almost a kilometer* or a little more away. If [they] come any closer, we'll get out of there because we'll be within range of [their] fire.”

*Kilometer = 0.62 miles

This precious family, already displaced multiple times for over a year, now might be displaced again, under threat of fire. With no stable income and essential supplies priced beyond reach, the Al-Qazzaz family is fighting a daily battle just to keep their children warm, fed, and safe.

The Al-Qazzaz family is one of countless in Gaza enduring wave after wave of trauma, displacement, and loss. And yet, through it all, they have held onto their dignity, their love for each other, and their will to survive. The support of the online mutual aid community has been a lifeline for them—allowing them to feed their children, find temporary shelter, and begin again each time everything is taken from them.

If you are moved by their story and wish to help, the family has a GoFundMe campaign that directly supports their daily essentials—food, medicine, and immediate needs. Every donation, no matter the size, helps them meet the most basic requirements to keep going in impossible circumstances.

Additionally, a Chuffed campaign, organized by the founder of Gaza Giving Tree, is helping to raise funds specifically to aid the family in either rebuilding yet again or evacuating to safety if that becomes possible. This effort is aimed at long-term stability and survival—a future where the children can sleep without fear.

Please consider contributing to one or both campaigns. Your generosity can be the reason this family has a chance at life beyond war and rubble.

To all Tumblr users 🪦

He sat in the dark, cold corner of the ruined room, his stomach empty, his heart heavier than the silence around him. Days had blurred into nights, and hope had long dissolved into despair. Just when he thought the end had truly come, a soft knock echoed on the broken door. A kind stranger, with warm food and a gentle smile, reached out a hand. For a moment, the world seemed to shift. He ate, he smiled, he slept without fear for the first time in weeks. He even dared to dream again.

But the knock returned , this time it was louder, crueler. Fire rained again. The stranger was gone. The little peace he’d clung to was shattered in seconds. The night grew darker than ever before, and this time, even dreams felt like betrayal.

This story mirrors our reality in Gaza. When the temporary truce was announced, our hearts bloomed with cautious hope. We embraced moments of stillness, started to believe that perhaps the nightmare was ending. But when the ceasefire ended, the bombs returned, louder, harsher, more merciless than before. The small light we held onto was ripped away, and the sorrow that followed was deeper than the one we’d known before hope ever dared to visit.

555 days of the war on Gaza, we live what no one can live, if you feel me and can help me, this is my fundraising campaign and my family, you can donate here any amount you can donate

Hello everyone, I am Ahmed and this campaign that was helping my family despite all the attempts, but I could not secure my family's needs in light of the difficult situations when we were displaced in southern Gaza, but today we are in northern Gaza and I also could not secure the basics and resistances of life. I hope you donate to my campaign to support me again and share my campaign to reach the donors. Thank you all.
