ok last thing. but what people fundamentally need to get through their heads is the significance of gaza fundraisers not being the same as like mutual aid when you're helping someone get groceries, because it is a genocide. there is insane deliberate scarcity and prices are unmanageable, because there is nowhere nearly enough for everyone, so only people who can pay can eat. and what positioning individual fundraisers as the only course of action does is quite simply give a tiny percentage of random people whose fundraisers take off the ability to pay those prices while thousands of others can't. and every one of those thousands of people without a fundraiser is suffering through the same inconceivably horrific reality. it is giving a few completely desperate people out of hundreds of thousands a slightly more favorable position in a horrific war economy of imposed scarcity. and what grassroots community kitchens do is try to mitigate in some small way that inconceivable hierarchy of who can pay and who can't, by stretching ingredients as far as they can last to cook meals at large scale and give them out at no cost. and obviously people are still going to send money to their friends and families because this is hell what else are we supposed to do but please just think about that before promoting endless individual fundraisers as somehow the most ethical way to help

bringing this one over from twitter

"'This persistent fuel stoppage has disrupted essential services, including the operation of water wells and desalination plants, leaving over 1.2 million citizens and displaced individuals in Khan Younis without potable and usable water.'" (source)

There's a catastrophic water crisis in Gaza right now, with most people trying to survive off of 1-2L a day for drinking, cooking, & cleaning. The humanitarian standard during emergency times is 15L minimum (most people in the global north use anywhere from 80-350L daily). The job of filling up water usually falls to young kids & its incredibly difficult, especially when they're malnourished and losing more energy and more water than they can get back in a day.

Fuel shortages make water difficult to pump or transport -> limits where water points are and how many (far to walk, long queues)

Water lines/sewage lines continue to be damaged, wells continue being poisoned, aquifers contaminated (by sewage/seawater)

UNRWA being pushed out of Gaza + little to no aid coming through further limits water availability

Faten (@/familyfaten) & her family are dealing not only with a severe water shortage but severe dehydration now too.

She desperately hopes to raise enough funds to be able to buy 2 large water tanks (1000L each) that will provide water to her family, the 3 others currently renting out the same house, and ~30 other households in the area. The longer these shortages go on, the greater the need there will be for these water points. (vetted here, #289)

Please donate what you can spare, this is incredibly urgent, not just for Faten & her loved ones, but their neighbours too.

More than 200,000 people are trapped in the northern Gaza Strip and are facing a real famine and mass extermination. Also, more than a million and a half people are facing the same famine in the southern Gaza Strip.Speak up for them, your voice can make a difference in this unjust world.

Also save my families within these families

hey let's start spreading the reminder now that you cannot safely self-manage an abortion with herbal medicine or essential oils. natural abortifacients function by poisoning you; you wait for your body to realize you're dying and reject the pregnancy in order to conserve resources, and hope that happens before the rest of your organs shut down.

i think there will be an upsurge soon of unscrupulous and/or malicious actors preying on desperate pregnant people; do not help them kill people. don't spread recipes for herbal medicines or ingestible essential oil mixtures that purport to cause a pregnancy termination.
