answering a couple questions i got on this post since i realized ppl genuinely wanna know:

tl;dr:

israel lets very, very little aid get into gaza. even the UN can't get in as much as they want to. funding individual families, gazan led initiatives, and mutual aid collectives operating out of gaza ensures gazans can provide for themselves and pay for the extremely expensive aid that is available.

with all the civil infrastructure destroyed by israel, the situation on the ground has devolved into unrestricted capitalism, driving up the price of aid (that should be free!). this makes it more urgent for people to have funding for daily survival.

the post linked above has examples of how donating to individual families can help a lot. if you want to help more than one family at a time, there are many gazan-led initiatives focusing on rebuilding their infrastructure and distributing aid fairly that are worth donating to instead of large charities that already get the majority of donations.

as i mentioned in the last post: @/careforgaza on twitter is a nonprofit started by gazans, it's been endorsed by multiple palestinian journalists.

the sameer project is a collective organized by diaspora palestinians offering emergency shelter to gazans.

ele elna elak is a project aiming to bring water, food, shelter, etc. to gazans and has been promoted by bisan owda.

and the municipality of gaza itself is fundraising to rebuild water infrastructure.

all of these organizations are active inside gaza right now and are being run by gazans. if anyone knows of other gazan-led mutual aid projects, nonprofits or charities feel free to link them in the notes! hope this helped!

long answers under the cut!

if you wanna donate to a charity that's absolutely fine, but the thing is most charities (and even the UN!) are unable to make it into gaza in the first place, leaving aid rotting at the egyptian side of the border or subject to israeli settler attacks

not to mention, charities and nonprofits also maintain a paternalistic colonial relationship with the indigenous people they are trying to help, determining what aid they need for them instead of returning power to them and letting them make their own choices

i'm not here to say that one option is better than the other, just that they achieve different things and are equally legitimate. there's an attitude among people who question the legitimacy of these gofundme campaigns that somehow the people promoting them are telling them not to donate to charities. nobody is stopping you from donating to charities. we are just asking that you do not dehumanize the very real gazans in your inbox just because their method of asking for aid is more direct and risky.

unfortunately that's exactly what has happened. because israel destroyed all of gaza's more formalized infrastructure, it seems that organized crime and rampant inflation has taken its place. aid is supposed to be free, but in order to save for evacuation or the cost of living, people have started selling them at an inflated price. and aid that is truly free attracts intense, large crowds that are dangerous to navigate.

this was posted on abc a few days ago

it's pure, unrestrained capitalism. i've had multiple palestinians describe this situation to me confidence. that's why everything's so expensive now. why people have to rent out tiny plots of land for their tents to sit on, why my friend @siraj2024 still has to buy tarps to cover the broken windows of the overpriced bombed out apartment he rented, and why a bag of flour can cost a thousand bucks in the north.

even before israel closed and then bombed the rafah crossing, the egyptian hala travel agency was only allowing people to cross the border if they paid a hefty $5000 USD per adult / $2500 USD per child bribe. it denies doing this, but the hundreds of stories from palestinians say otherwise.

with regard to the economy, here in america we saw something similar happen in the wake of hurricane helene and milton. the podcaster margaret killjoy describes how she saw dual economies rise after asheville was fully cut off from the rest of the country - some people offered each other supplies for free in a sort of mutual aid honor system, and some people required payment when they lent supplies because they themselves needed to buy stuff for their families. these dual economies exist in gaza too. and this means they all still need money to survive.

A reimagined story of Princess Cordelia Thebe of the Royal House Thebe

Part 2 of 3 - previous | next

Princess Cordelia: Months after Long John’s death, a man who claimed to be of noble descent began visiting me every Saturday evening, expressing his desires to court me. He was handsome, impeccably groomed, and as charming as any prince ought to be; however, I wasn't easily fooled. I knew he were a pirate the moment I laid eyes on him. His lies didn’t turn me away, in fact, I was even more enthralled by him.

[Chaz] Thank you for allowing me the pleasure of spending the evening with you. [Cordelia] The pleasure is all mine, Prince. Though I must say, you have a rather... rugged charm about you. [Chaz] chuckles I’m not your typical prince. I am well traveled, always in search of the next thrill. [Cordelia] Is that so? Tell me, does this thrill you seek often tempt you to travel the seas in pursuit of treasure, or merely in search of seducing princesses? [Chaz] A bit of both, if I am being honest. But the treasure I seek tonight is far more enticing than diamonds, Princess.

Princess Cordelia: He was divine. He kissed me against that tree in my garden for what felt like hours and I could feel desire blooming in me once more. ““Wait for me,” he said. “Hold on until I return, and I promise to take you aboard my ship to see how the stars dance over endless sea.”

[Harold] How odd, seeing you without your late mother’s diamond earrings. Have you left them behind? [Cordelia] Have I- what? [Merchant] I’ve got 9 pounds for it. [Chaz] Considered it sold. I’ve got a good feeling about this one, my friend. [Merchant] Always a pleasure doin’ business with ya, Captain MacFreeling.

Princess Cordelia: Days bled into weeks, weeks into months. Chaz never returned.Once again, I allowed my heart to soften for a man with empty promises. What a shallow, arrogant fool. Whatever happened to him, I’m certain he got what he deserved.

[Chaz] Oi! Who’s there!
