netizens are desensitising gruesome things that are taking place in Palestine.
even the internet’s reaction to graphic things such as - pictures of injured children, civilians stuck under rubble, dead bodies of families in their destroyed homes etc. is beyond underwhelming.
Taawon, a Palestinian non-profit, are organizing to distribute suhoor and iftar meals for displaced families in Gaza during Ramadan.
You can donate whatever amount through their donation page but they do have this guide on their page on what your contributions will help them provide.
every single time israel fires on people picking up food or humanitarian aid it truly cuts me to the core. obviously it’s equally horrible to fire on civilians escaping the invasion or to bomb hospitals or refugee camps or people just living in their own homes. but there’s something so brutal about hitting people right when they have gathered for life-saving aid. by firing on them there the IOF have set up an impossible dilemma where starving people have to choose between death by bullet or death by hunger. they have left no room for palestinians to choose life. i do not know how my government or any other government can just sit by and watch while innocent people continue to be gunned down for the crime of existing in israel’s eyeline.
here is a list of fundraisers for families trying to leave gaza. this post also has links for places to help. this is the irish palestinian solidarity campaign website. finally this is a post with the esim donation guide. i know most of you have probably seen all of these links and more but i just need to do something.
Seeing footage of the aftermath of the flour massacre in Gaza is so painful
“Where is my daughter? Tell her I don’t want flour anymore”
“My brother was shot holding a bag of flour. He kept holding on to it so they kept shooting him”
“Why does flour have to be stained with blood?”
Over 100 have been killed. Every single one of them hungry. Every single one of them has someone waiting for them to come back with the bag of flour.
Israel is using starvation as a weapon of war against innocent civilians. Israel ambushes starving Palestinians and shoots them. Israel is not fighting a war to defend itself. This is another episode of Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza.
For 153 days, we’ve seen Palestinians taking care of not only fellow humans by sharing food with each other, helping save people from under the rubble, carrying random bloody strangers to hospitals, and lending a helping hand at any given, but we’ve also seen them, constantly, taking care of animals during the genocide.
In case you lost it - a link to the eSIM donation guide. Even if you feel sick and powerless, you can at least do this. And even if you really, really can’t donate, you can always at least share this and remind others.
the lowest tier, which costs 9 dollars, offers a week of connection while the very next, 16 dollars, will provide a full month of contact with the world to someone who desperately needs it. this is not some idle step. an entire month is a huge length of time for people who are displaced, terrified, and isolated.
