Are you an English speaker willing to volunteer a few minutes of your time to answer a few questions about Palestine?

Mahmoud @ma7moudgaza2 is a web developer based in Gaza. He is currently still studying, and you may have seen his fundraiser or his spotlighting for fellow Gazan fundraisers.

Mahmoud has taken up a project to publish a website aimed at foreigners who want to learn more about Palestine. He is currently in the information-gathering phase, where he is hoping to ask you all a few questions about how much information the average foreigner knows about Palestine, and what they would be personally interested in learning about. I've seen the first couple of pages, and the project looks lovely!

If you're interested in lending a few minutes of your time to Mahmoud, please do get in contact with him!

Me explaining Pokemon titles: yeah the game names tend to be wordy so the fandom just abbreviates all of them. for example, HGSS is short for HeartGold and SoulSilver

Normal person: Oh I see! What's XY short for then?

Me, sweating: X and Y

Ahmed suffers from Hepatitis

it has become a widespread disease in Gaza due to contaminated water, food and poor living conditions.

Ahmed also takes care of his mother.

Please donate to his gofundme or chuffed so they can afford the medicine they need.

10 USD = 103 SEK. gofundme takes 3 SEK off each donation. 5-10 SEK means giving pennies.

These are some pictures and a video he sent me today.

A Confession from the Heart of Suffering: An Unbearable Reality

I hope you read my confession, and thank you. This is the reality of all the people of Gaza.

Whenever I think of the life we used to have before the genocide, I have to struggle to hold my tears so I don't cause my children more pain than what they already feel. Our life, then, was neither easy nor perfect but it was full of warmth and the simple joy of being together under one roof .

We have never felt completely free because we have always been under a siege that has only gotten worse during this war but at least we felt somewhat safe and we had quite a decent life with the means that we were allowed.What kept us going was our belief that the future might be brighter one day.

Unfortunately, there seems to be no better tomorrow for us anymore. Nothing remains of our previous lives but rubble and memories, and the future is so bleak and full of uncertainties.It's not just the walls of our house that were turned into ruins, it's our hopes and dreams that were reduced to ashes. Now, we only dream of things that might seem so trivial to other people around the world like being able to sleep in and wake up in a comfortable bed or having a meal without standing for it in line for hours.

We dream of having enough clean drinking water so we don't have to worry about dying of thirst. We dream of the days we had a home with a regular kitchen and stove, the days we could celebrate special occasions with family in peace. Above all, we dream of not losing the people we love in a split second and of living safely and with dignity.

Instead, we have been wrongfully sentenced to a life of fear, displacement, and humiliation beyond belief. It is a living nightmare here now. Everything needed to ensure the bare minimum of decency and normalcy is denied to us. As you well know, there is no safe place in Gaza anymore and We are deprived of simple rights like having having a roof over our heads or enjoying some peace of mind for even one single day. The airstrikes and the buzzing of drones almost never stop. We live with a very real sense of impending doom day and night.

The water and food scarcity are only getting worse with time. Even regular chores like cooking or doing the laundry have become true challenges. I cannot propely bathe my children because the little water we get is polluted and their sensitive baby skin keeps getting irritated.

Before the war, my nine- year-old daughter was so picky about which outfits to wear; it made me laugh that she acted that way at her age but now we don't even have enough warm clothes for the winter. It kills me each time she says she doesn't need fancy clothes anymore and only wants to feel warm and go back to school. What makes it worse is our tent has recently been flooded by rain.

The whole camp turned into a swamp overnight. The children woke up soaked, shivering and terrified. It was almost impossible to calm them down as the rain kept pouring. We are doing our best but even if we succeed in finding the treatment, it's going to cost almost a fortune. This is why we need your support even more now.

All we do now is fight for survival every day. I never imagined,even in my darkest nightmares, that I would be searching high and low to put food in my children's mouths and keep them warm or that I would be begging the world to literally save their lives but I have no other choice now.

Despite the unbearable suffering we're daily going through, I still believe in humanity. please keep us in your prayers and help us anyway you can. Donate if you're able to,reblog and share our story as widely as you can.We are grateful to each and every one of you

18 year old needing abortion immediately!! hi, i want to preface by being upfront abt the fact i don't have an online presence right now. i deleted all my socials cos i posted about my pregnancy on tiktok and immediately freaked out that it would get back to my bf. basically the title. while we having s*x my bf stealthed me. he later admitted he's done this before and didn't think it was a big deal. i got really angry but he apologized and but now i'm stuck in a state where it's illegal to get an abort. i have to move. he has told me before that he WANTS to have a baby so i suspect he did it on purpose. he has lied to me before. at first i felt guilty for not believing him but now i'm convinced he's trying to trap me. i want to be out of his orbit before i make a move. i think 300 should be enough for the move. i'll only be on the road for two days. my aunt is gonna hlp me once i get there. if any of you want proof that i'm a real person you can email me at tiptoethruthetulipp@gmail.com. i have a photo of the ultrasound, just please do not post it anywhere. thank you!!

My family needs your help to leave the Gaza Strip because of the war

We hope everyone will help us achieve safety and peace

I am Nevin Al-Sir, I live in Gaza, I am married and trying to help myself, my family and my child escape the war zone.

I was pregnant before the war on Gaza and when the war started the evacuation order came from our house so I moved to my family's house and I felt very tired and exhausted as there were no cars to transport us from one place to another and when my husband and I moved to my family's house the evacuation order came from my family's area so we moved again to a tent and my house and my family's house were destroyed in the bombing and it was very difficult as the weight of the pregnancy increased and the tent was small as I was with my mother and father and my brothers and sisters and their children.

Then I gave birth to my child in a field hospital because the hospitals were out of service and stopped working because of the war. Then we returned again to the tent, where we could not bear the cold of winter because it did not protect me and my child from the rain and cold.

And now I stand and look with regret and pain at our house, where my son was supposed to grow up, feel safe, play and build his childhood memories. But there is no house left, nothing left. Everything has been destroyed.

GoFundMe Campaign Link 🍉 :

I need your help to raise money to leave the Gaza Strip and save my life, my child and my family. To restore and build a beautiful life outside Gaza.

Thank you all

Please we need your Support💔🍉

Please don’t scroll past💔 Take a moment to read💔🍉🇵🇸 My name is Alaa, from Gaza. I recently gave birth in a tent amid the war. I had dreamed of welcoming my child in peaceful circumstances, but war has shattered those dreams. 🥹🍉 I’m a mother of six, and we've been forced to move repeatedly—first fleeing from northern Gaza to Khan Younis, then to Rafah, back to Khan Younis, and finally to Deir al-Balah, where I gave birth to my youngest in a worn-out tent.

Our situation is heartbreaking. We lack even the most basic necessities. The tent is falling apart, and the relentless bombing makes everything more desperate. I can’t escape with six children, and we need urgent help with essentials, including milk for my baby. We are hoping to eventually cross at the Rafah border and find the peace we long for. Please, any support would mean the world to us.

Therefore, I ask you to help me and my family to pay the costs of coordinating travel and start a new life🙏🏻♥️

Just a ten dollar can make a difference 🙏🏻♥️

**My Story with War and Education:**

My name is Adam, a young man from Gaza, Palestinian with pride. At first, life seemed full of opportunities and hope, despite the difficult circumstances we live in. I had a big dream, a dream of becoming an influential person in my community and contributing to improving our reality through knowledge and work. I was a first-year student at Al-Azhar University in Gaza, studying Interior Design Engineering. I was very excited to begin this journey, and I aspired to achieve something great in the future, not only for myself but for my family and my country.

https://gofund.me/e9941fa0

But, as always in Gaza, life was unforgiving, and it left me with little space to achieve this dream.

Just two weeks after starting my first semester, in the midst of studying and revising, something unexpected happened: war broke out. Suddenly, everything changed. Our lives were turned upside down. The sounds of bombings and explosions filled the sky, and the streets were empty of people. We were trapped in our homes, not knowing what the future held for us. The destroyed streets, collapsing houses, and deteriorating security situation made it impossible to focus on my studies or attend my lectures.

We stopped going to the university because of the bombings and the closure of all roads and transportation. The semester came to a halt, and at the same time, my hopes came to a standstill. As the crisis deepened, everything seemed suspended: my studies, my dreams, and my ambitions. The cost of one academic hour at the university was 25 Jordanian Dinars, and each semester consisted of 18 hours, meaning I needed $6000 for each semester. I tried to manage, but with power cuts and difficulty accessing resources, the situation became harder every day. Moreover, my daily expenses for the university were about $20, which covered food, transportation, and books. As the situation worsened, it became impossible to continue my daily life, let alone pursue my education.

As the days went on, the situation continued to deteriorate. Every dream I had seemed distant. The dream of studying, graduating, and even succeeding in my chosen field became unreachable. I was unable to continue my studies at the university, and I left the semester halfway. Feelings of frustration and disappointment began to fill my heart. But despite all this, I couldn't let this dream slip away forever.

https://gofund.me/e9941fa0

I thought a lot about a solution that could bring me back to my educational path, and I realized the only option was to travel and continue my studies outside Gaza. But as you know, traveling from Gaza is not easy. The border crossings are closed most of the time, and when they open, coordinating to leave requires a huge sum of money, around $5000, which is a large amount for me. Additionally, the costs of education abroad are beyond my financial ability, making it extremely difficult to achieve my dream.

Today, I find myself at a crossroads: I don’t want to let my dream disappear, but I need help. I am asking my friends and anyone who can extend a helping hand to assist me in continuing my education. I need donations for:

1. Coordination to leave Gaza: It requires $5000, which is a very large amount.

2. Tuition fees abroad: Around $6000 per semester, a sum I will not be able to gather on my own.

3. Daily living expenses: The cost of daily life abroad requires additional funds.

https://gofund.me/e9941fa0

I have always known that education is the only way to salvation, not only for me but for my people. Education is the tool that will help me become a person capable of changing my reality and the reality of my family, and to contribute to building our homeland, which suffers from so many hardships. Therefore, I will hold onto my dream despite all the circumstances.

Today, I am here asking for your help to achieve this dream. If you can donate even a small part of the required amount, it will have a huge impact on changing my life and the lives of my family.

I pray that God grants you all success and helps us endure and succeed despite all the challenges. Thank you to everyone who stands by me, and I deeply appreciate any support or assistance you may offer. You are the ones helping build our future.
