Gaza Fundraiser Requests, 5/18/2026
Below is a list of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip who have either followed me or reached out to me via my ask-box this past week.
I compile these new lists throughout the week, then post them every Monday. I used to post them every Friday, but this will allow me to catch up on any messages or headlines over the weekend. I also share each account’s donation posts for added visibility.
On January 22nd, a proposal for a multinational “Board of Peace” was signed by United States President Donald Trump at the World Economic Forum, in accordance with his 20-point peace plan. This coalition, approved at the UN on November 17th of last year under Resolution 2803, is meant to aid in the reconstruction and re-stabilization of the Gaza Strip.
However, the Board of Peace as it’s been established has been called into question, with some world leaders and diplomats expressing concern that it might undermine the UN’s authority.
Additionally, it has been criticized as yet another self-serving imperialist overreach by Trump, which seeks to create multiple properties for real estate and tourism, all with no input from Palestinians in Gaza themselves.
As of May 17th, the IDF has killed 871 Palestinians and wounded 2,562 since the ceasefire went into effect on October 10th, 2025. According to UNICEF, this includes 229 children killed and 260 injured.
According to Gaza’s Government Media Office, Israel has committed at least 2,400 ceasefire violations between October 10th, 2025 and April 19th, 2026.
Additionally, Israel has officially suspended entry permits for 37 non-governmental organizations (NGOs) since January 1st, including Doctors Without Borders, putting further strain on the severely limited medical and food resources.
On December 7th 2025, the IDF’s Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir has declared that the “yellow line” dividing Gaza in accordance with Trump’s 20-part peace plan is a “new border line” for Israel.
On January 22nd, Reuters has reported that the yellow line has been shifted further into Gaza City by the IDF, with buildings razed and more Palestinians displaced beyond the original parameters.
The IDF denies contesting the yellow line, but the above two headlines coincide with Israeli right-wing defense minister Israel Katz’s announcement that new illegal settlements will be established in North Gaza.
Amid the US-Israel starting a war with Iran, Israel has once again closed the Rafah border crossing. During its short opening period, only a small trickle of 50 medical evacuees per day, along with two companions for each, were allowed to pass through. Additionally, evacuees reported constant delays, abusive interrogations, and confiscation of their belongings.
Additionally, this has given Israel another excuse to further restrict aid once again. Only 214 aid trucks have entered Gaza between March 1st and March 10th, even farther below the number required of the 20-part peace plan.
Palestinians in Gaza have begun panic-buying food due to this sudden closure and newly imposed aid restrictions. Already inflated prices are rising even higher because of this, which makes the cost of barely surviving even more expensive than before.
On top of all of this, there has been a surge of rat infestations in Gaza's displacement camps due to the ongoing build-up of garbage and raw sewage, all with no infrastructure to manage any of it. This is causing a spread of rat bites among the displaced, particularly children, leaving them vulnerable to infection and dangerous diseases.
Palestinian Genocide in Gaza, 2023-present: Death, Injury and Starvation Figures
As of May 17th, the official death toll of Palestinian civilians has risen to 72,763 and 172,664 wounded, and with over 42,000 having received life-altering injuries according to an October 2025 report from the UN. Altogether, both the official death and injury tolls account for more than 10% of Gaza’s population before Israel’s siege.
On January 26th, an analysis of Gaza's civil registry by Al-Jazeera found that 2,700 Palestinian families have been completely wiped out by the IDF since October 2023. Roughly 6,000 more families have only one surviving member left.
According to several studies conducted over the course of this genocide — the first published by British Medical Journal and the second by The Lancet — the Gaza Health Ministry’s official death toll is an extreme under-count. Indirect deaths from starvation and disease, combined with official figures, might bring the toll into the hundreds of thousands.
On September 16th 2025, the United Nations’ Independent Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, Including East Jerusalem and Israel, has officially concluded that Israel has been committing a genocide in Gaza for the past two years and counting.
As of October 7th 2025, 460 Palestinians in Gaza have died of malnutrition and starvation since October 2023, including 154 children. Although the numbers are no longer being reported, they have continued to climb as Israel continues delaying food and aid from entering Gaza.
On November 25th 2025, the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research in Germany released a study determining not only that the death toll is more than 100,000 people, but that the average life expectancy of Palestinians in Gaza has fallen by 44% in 2023, and 47% in 2024.
More statistics and infographics of civilian deaths, imprisonment and damage to nearly all of Gaza’s infrastructure can be found here.
More death statistics here, including the names of adults and children killed in the genocide.
Palestinians in Gaza still need all of the help they can get to rebuild their lives, as well as heal from the horrific physical and psychological violence inflicted upon them by the Israeli occupation.
