The Al-Habil Family’s Story

I’ve been speaking with Mohammed (@aya2mohammed), and he asked me to share his story with you all.

Mohammed is a husband, and he is a father of three young children from ages 4-8. He is the sole breadwinner of his family, and he also takes care of his elderly parents. Since October, Mohammed and his family have been displaced 7 times.

Both of Mohammed’s parents have diabetes and high blood pressure, and his mother also suffers from osteoporosis and has a herniated disc. Due to the genocide, she has been unable to receive any medical treatment and her condition has deteriorated. Mohammed’s wife and kids are also suffering from malnutrition due to lack of access to food and clean drinking water.

Mohammed is hoping to evacuate himself and his family from Gaza. His fundraiser’s goal is currently set at €50k, and he’s just over a quarter of the way there with €12.7k. Here is the link to his GFM:

Please donate to Mohammed’s family; if you don’t have the means, then send his GFM link to someone you know who does. Reblog his posts and share his fundraiser with others. Let’s get Mohammed’s family to their goal as quickly as we can!

Every day I worry that my friend Mohammed Ayesh will not be able to find another meal just to get through the day. It has gotten significantly worse as the occupation has collaborated with local crime families in Ghazzah to steal over 109 aid trucks sent in by the United Nations at gunpoint. The occupation protects them and sends them to starve the Palestinian population from the inside.

While Hamas is currently cracking down on the crime ring instrumental to this teamup, 109 aid trucks stolen is a huge amount of aid that has simply been hoarded by the occupation. How sickening that they are resorting to internal proxy warfare after failing to subdue Ghazzah's communities from the outside despite the unending horrific violence imposed on them. Nuseirat is experiencing a famine within a famine. Both of them completely man-made and orchestrated by the zionist occupation.

I don't know what to do or how to help beyond asking you to donate to Mohammed Ayesh's fundraiser so that when the already overpriced aid comes back around, he can afford it and distribute it in his community as he usually does.

Israel has destroyed at least 70% of the homes in the Strip and the majority of shops and markets there, including those selling clothing, in addition to limiting Palestinian merchants' ability to coordinate the entry of goods with Israeli authorities. Consequently, the total number of trucks entering the Gaza Strip in the past period contained aid that did not exceed 6% of the population's daily needs — the majority of which are related to food supplies-and the clothing and shoes allowed to enter the enclave did not exceed 0.001% of residents' needs.

[Full report]

So this is what Israel will refer to when they insist that they, in fact, did allow aid into Gaza. Just like they kept the entire Gaza population on a restricted calorie diet up to 2007, they are now starving over 2 million people so that they are in their weakest state in the middle of winter, with no shelter and no clothing either, with bombs hailing down on them nonstop.

Israel is attempting every annihilation strategy against Gaza, both slow and quick.

by the way, you guys need to reevaluate the way you act if you think a palestinian on tumblr is only valid if they have gone through some form of unspeakable tragedy.

if you only interact with our posts when we post about our trauma or the death of our family members or friends or something of that sort, please take a step back.

because we don’t have to adhere to your perfect victim narrative. and more importantly, none of us actually owe you that information. and you need to listen to us and the things we say, even if we don’t share our trauma online with a bunch of strangers, and even if we haven’t gone through some indescribable and horrible event

getting kidnapped means you are more than half dead

[cherubxkisses]

btw palestinians being “detainees” is not normal and we shouldn’t be forced to live with a reality where our men are held hostage and abused and barely make it out alive. it’s not fair that just because someone is palestinian, they automatically know someone (a father, a brother, an uncle, a friend, a cousin) who has been kidnapped and tortured for days if not months if not years. that trauma is long lasting and it is Not normal.

Well, if you hate winter, you know how much of a pain it can be to constantly have to shovel your drive way. And if you don't get snow, you get seasons of heavy hurricanes and typhoons. Harsh weather conditions destroy homes, harm our communities, and take more money to repair damages than some people can afford.

That's why you should help @ma7moudgaza2 and his family

Here's their verification || Verification 2

Mahmoud and his brother, Muhammad, are campaigning to buy supplies to survive this winter season. Their current goal is to buy covers and blankets to keep themselves warm because Surviving genocide is just as important as escaping it. Their family consists of 20 people-- that's an entire classroom of people! The money will be used for the supplies mentioned previously along with food, wood for a chair, clothes, and a shader to prevent their tent from sinking. For more details about how the money will be spent, click here. These people are your neighbors, graphic designers, phone repairers, and some maybe could've been your friends. If your neighbor's work blew up, wouldn't you want to help?

"...I lost all of my work, leveled it to the ground, and completely destroyed my dream. As this war continued for more than 10 months, what I had saved was not enough for me. From money to buy my basic life, I am now without money and without a source of income, which the occupation has completely destroyed." -Message from Muhammad, read more here

The family has been a recent victim of *fraud* and had their campaign money STOLEN! Every cent you can donate matters! If 2500 people who reblogged this donated 10 USD then they'd reach their goal! If tumblr can come together for a fake movie, we can come together for this! We got this!!! Donate to their campaign and Paypal!

@wissamgaza: There is an occupier, and an occupied.

There's a colonizer, and the colonized. The Land Owners and the thieves. It's not complicated.
