I am one of the sons of Al Shati refugee camp, and a survivor of Al Shifa hospital massacre. Does anybody care to hear my story?
I live in Gaza city, where my youth was taken from me.
On 7-10-2023 I was asleep, my biggest concern was waking up in time for the 8am lecture at my university.
I'm in Al-Shati camp, south of Gaza. I'm sure you've heard of it. Today is 26-11-2024, it's been more than a year, and I'm still living outside my house. I don't understand why this happened, or why I'm still not in my house.
About two weeks ago was the anniversary of our displacement from northern Gaza to the south and since that day we've known nothing but hardship.
The tent where we live is inhabitable and cannot support any form of life in this cold and this rain and this flooding.
Of all these terrors, the memory of our displacement is the bleakest of them all.
On 10-11-2023, we experienced two days of siege on Al Shifaa hospital, without food nor drink nor even light to see around us, feeling our way like we're blind in order to move around, because even our phones had run out of battery, not even knowing whether the occupation has invaded the hospital yet or not, all we hear is the sound of ceaseless bombardment within the hospital's perimeter.
We lost a lot of people that day. Those who were detained, those who were murdered, and those whose fates are unknown to this day.
We couldn't believe it when the morning finally came, and we finally fled the hospital, to walk 20 kilometers on our feet through Al Halabat path after two days with no food or drink.
This is the story of one of Gaza's sons. My story is not singular, but one of many stories that strengthen our conviction in our right to this land. Most of us here have died for this land.
Our condition today is horrible. This war is picking us off one by one. I am not willing to lose another member of my family. Causes of death are compounding, the latest of which is the cold and storms that the weather has brought.
With only 5 dollars, you can save me and my family's lives. If you can't donate, share this post so it can reach someone who can help us.
Today, with a significant drop in temperatures and a sharp rise in food prices, the price of a bag of flour has reached $600. Please help me so that I can feed my family.
Our current goal is 25k we now have only 21k .

Are banks operational in Gaza? And how do we deal with cash flow?
The targeting of the occupation against the banking and financial systems in the Gaza Strip, the destruction of dozens of exchange offices and ATMs, the prohibition of financial transfers to Gazans, and the absence of regulatory oversight from the relevant authorities have led to chaos and the dominance of banks and exchange offices, resulting in an increase in the financial discount as commissions on the amounts that Palestinians there seek to obtain in cash.
So as not to get away from the main topic of this post, let's focus on answering these two questions directly.
Yes and no.
How is that, Mahmoud? Explain.
Yes, all banks in Gaza have shut down their headquarters since the war broke out, and it's not possible to contact their employees to complete certain transactions.
But banks operate digitally through some official apps, mainly Bank of Palestine since its headquarters is in Ramallah and not Gaza, so it operates normally.
So you're saying the banks are closed does that mean ATMs are, too? How do you withdraw your money?
Through traders in Gaza.
How does that work?
Let's say Mahmoud needs to withdraw 100 dollars in cash. He goes to one of the known traders in Gaza and says "I need 100 dollars in cash, how much is commission?"
How much is commission?
Commission differs from one trader to another. It comes down to their personal desire. For example on the day of writing this post, dated 4/12/2024, commission for cash withdrawal has reached 30% of the amount withdrawn.
In other words, if I had 100 dollars in my bank account, I need to pay 30 dollars to the trader, and receive 70 dollars in cash. So, the price of converting bank credit to cash is 30% of that amount.
Meaning if I had 1000 dollars, I receive 700 dollars instead. Imagine that level of injustice, despair, and despotism.
When you receive money from outside of Palestine, the trader also keeps 30%.
But there's nothing we can do. We have no choice but to accept these terms, just to be able to eat and drink and go on with our daily needs.
On the other hand, prices of goods are astronomical. I am not exaggerating when I say that if a person in Gaza has unlimited money it still wouldn't be enough.
The smallest of families need 100 dollars a day just to get by with the bare minimum.
Help us to provide food for today and feed our children in the midst of this famine.
Only $350 left to reach the short-term goal of $22,000

Why is the world taking an idea Gaza is currently doing well and people are living normally!
Gaza is stricken Trump and the occupation prevent the entry of all means of relief Gaza people try with their fingernails
The disaster is big so far
If you are against the displacement of Gazans, empower their capabilities.
Since yesterday, the news was very bad, statements by officials who control our lands as if they were their legitimate legacy. No one can stop them, as if we were in a time of lamentation.
But what do we do now? We are weak... But we didn't give up.
From your place, you can make a difference: Support the capabilities of the people of Gaza. Support the construction. Support talent. Make Gaza a place to live. Support infrastructure. Don't be part of our displacement. Make life here easier, so no one is forced to leave.
From the beginning, we knew that post-war would be harsher than war itself. We saw the future before it came, and we were preparing for it.
No infrastructure. Nothing keeps people here. No nothing.
One $10 canal guarantees a person in Gaza a seat in a well-equipped scientific space.
Gaza is not for sale. Gaza will not be defeated. Gaza will remain.

wow good post! i can't reblog it in good conscience though because it uses the word "goblin" as a pejorative in a way that associates goblins with sneakiness, perversion, and deception! have you considered being less antisemitic and more normal?

Please help my friend afford food.
Mahmoud @ma7moudgaza2 and his family are running out of food.
In order to afford a sack of flour that lasts his family of 20 people A SINGLE WEEK, Mahmoud has to risk a difficult journey laden with criminal gangs hired to steal aid, and pay the equivalent of $350 USD.
They eat so scarcely that Mahmoud updates me when they are able to acquire food. The messages are too far apart for my peace of mind. Please help relieve Mahmoud of this burden.
$21,080 / $35,000 as of 24 November 2024.

🚨 URGENT: WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Yesterday, our tent was severely damaged and flooded due to heavy rains, and we are still stranded in southern Gaza. We couldn’t move to the north because life there is nearly impossible, with no essential services, and transportation costs are extremely high, making relocation very difficult.
Since the ceasefire ended, we have lost everything:
🏠 Our home has been destroyed.
💼 Our work is gone, and we have no income.
⚠ The situation remains unstable, with ongoing threats of war.
We don’t know what the coming days will bring, but we do know that we cannot survive this alone. Your previous support was a lifeline for our family, and today, we desperately need your help again. Every donation, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to safety.
🙏 Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
“SAVE OUR LIVES – CLICK HERE TO DONATE”
