genuine question — how is donating money going to help Palestinians if no food is going in? What is the money for?

Medicine, water, supplies, food, fuel (much of it black market being upsold at egregious prices) — these all cost money and pretty much all Palestinians in Gaza have no source of income now. It’s drops in the bucket compared to ending the siege and occupation but it’s one way to do at least something small to help. Others are in need of money to evacuate when the border opens again (which hopefully is asap…), tuition and supplies for school to continue studies despite it all. Another fund is focused on trying to rebuild farmlands in Gaza to get food again that way.

I can’t tell anyone what to do with their money but I don’t think this mindset of “well nothings going in so we can’t help” is helpful for people on the ground who are the ones saying that donations can and do help them survive.

Now that zionist occupation announced they are going to occupy all of Gaza, their genocidal intent is clear. This was always about ethnic cleansing. That's why they systematically destroyed Gaza and murdered so many civilians. If you still support Israel, you are openly in favor of genocide.

[plumpydoll]

We failed the people of Gaza. In every single way. And history will not forgive us.

Gaza broke me. Idgaf about anything any more. We let the worst thing in the world happen and I feel like we're all doomed now

What comes after their homes were destroyed and they were forcibly displaced from their homes? Now they are suffering from famine, siege, killing, bombing and starvation. They no longer have money to buy the bare necessities of life. Save Zeina and her family before it is too late. They no longer have a home to return to and they have no one but us to help them and stand by them in these difficult times. Donate to them now through the link to their verified campaign from Gazavetters number 213.

[zinaanqar16]

Sadly, Only 4 people responded today, and we received €30. It’s not even enough for 3kg of flour and water for my family of 6.

We’re surviving day by day — but it’s getting harder. Please donate and share post even share can reach someone who can donate and help me and my family .

[closet-keys]

Please help Zeina and her family to raise enough money for food. She is a child, and has a baby sister. This campaign is vetted. She needs our help!

[aboodgaza0]

Yesterday, my mother fractured her arm while trying to get aid. I couldn’t go with her because I’m severely malnourished. She smiled through the pain so we wouldn’t worry, but I could see it all in her eyes — and it broke me.

[aboodgaza0]

[aboodgaza0]

Before the war, my mother was a kindergarten teacher. Today, she’s forced to push through crowds just to bring us something to eat. I’m not writing this to beg for sympathy — I’m writing because we simply can’t endure this alone anymore.

[aboodgaza0]

If you’re able to help, even with a small amount, it could make a real difference. Thank you to everyone who shares or supports us in any way.

Over a thousand Palestinians have been killed in the GHF death traps disguised as aid distribution (run by the US and backed by Israel) since they opened in late May. Just yesterday, (Wednesday, July 30, 2025) Israeli forces attacked hundreds of starving people heading towards the Zikim crossing point for aid trucks entering northern Gaza, killing at least 51 and injuring over 648 others, and Nasser Medical Complex reported 20 others were killed in southern Gaza near Khan Younis. (Al Jazeera, Jul 30, 2025, "More than 70 aid seekers killed as starvation worsens in Gaza." )

These daily massacres are being enacted on a population who is experiencing what the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) describes as the “worst-case scenario of famine.”

Think about what happens to the starving bodies of children. In the body, the digestive system slows and children's growth and development stall. Heart rate slows, blood pressure drops, body temperature falls. The body begins to consume its own organs, muscles, and bones. The immune system is weakened.

Think about children who are being brutally injured and denied sanitary conditions while starving. Malnutrition directly increases the likelihood of bones breaking and infections like pneumonia, diarrhea, measles, and sepsis. According to Dr. Aqsa Durrani (a physician and epidemiologist who worked this spring at a trauma field hospital in Gaza treating victims of airstrikes) when children are malnourished, even their surgical incisions cannot heal properly because their bodies don't have enough protein to rebuild the tissue. (Time, Jul 31, 2025, "The Medical Consequences of Starvation")

The only means of survival is buying food from markets where there is extreme price gouging, making the smallest amounts continuously more and more expensive the longer Israel prevents aid from reaching Gaza.

My friend Mahrah (@mahrahpalestine) is living in Gaza right now under these conditions. Her parents are losing weight rapidly as they starve. She was studying to be an engineer at Al-Azhar University, and over the course of this war, she is not only losing everything she had, but losing her opportunities. She dreamed of using her skills to rebuild Palestine and support her community. She writes, "My future is what is being lost. I am supposed to focus on my studies, but famine keeps us away from everything."

Her brother Mahmoud is in Egypt, doing everything he can to get her donations to survive, and they miss each other. They need to survive long enough to meet again.

Mahrah's family's fundraiser has been vetted by 90-ghost and shared by fairuzfan. Please support them. They are subsisting on the food they can buy each week with donations.

If aid does not enter to Gaza Strip within the next 48 hours — especially baby formula and flour — then prepare yourselves for the largest mass death crime in history.

[zinaanqar16]

(IPC): The worst-case scenarios of an actual famine have begun in the Gaza Strip, where famine thresholds have been surpassed in most areas, accompanied by a sharp increase in deaths due to malnutrition and hunger.

Gaza’s children are dying of hunger in front of the eyes of the world — as if no one cares, as if wiping out Gaza and its people doesn’t stir a single conscience. Every moment of delay in ending this siege and famine is a silent participation in the killing of innocents. PLEASE DO Something.

Stop killing, Stop Famines, Stop starvation NOW

[zinaanqar16]

154 lives have been lost to hunger in Gaza — most of them children. This is not fate… it’s a crime, committed in the silence of the world, as if the world chooses not to see!!!

Have you seen their faces? Have you asked about their necks? Have you seen their corpses? Nearly 50 people are killed every day while trying to obtain humanitarian aid. Do you hear about them? Or is the media of the Nazi Zionist occupation misleading you like others? Wake up, Wake up

I am struggling to put my thoughts into words. I don't know how to focus lately on anything while so many people are starving to death in Gaza.

I am finding myself texting my family members and my friends and my local community organizing networks apologizing for disappearing, for failing to respond to messages, for forgetting to check in. I was laid off from my job a while ago, and have not received a single interview. How can I justify writing cover letters when I could be writing fundraisers? But how can I not when my wife needs me to find a source of income so that we can pay rent.

When I write about Palestine, it is the only thing that feels important in my life. But then I fear that people do not read it, and I fear they stop reading as soon as they realize I am talking about Palestine. What can I write so that you will feel my (imperfect, flawed) humanity through them, and not let go when I ask you to hold the humanity of the people of Gaza too?

Many hands make light work, but there needs to be a hell of a lot more hands here. It's heavy right now, but the more people do something, the easier it becomes for every single person trying to act. Please do not fear the weight of this. We need you.

"Airdrops will not reverse the deepening starvation. They are expensive, inefficient and can even kill starving civilians."

“This is not a warning, this is a call to action. This is unlike anything we have seen in this century"

- Ross Smith, UN World Food Programme (WFP) director of emergencies, published by the United Nations news on July 29, 2025.

"Despite the overwhelming evidence of rampant malnutrition and growing deaths from starvation, Gaza remains all but sealed off. At the IRC, we have several tons of life-saving medical supplies ready and waiting to enter—enough to treat thousands and bolster a health system that is collapsing under the weight of war and deprivation. These supplies sit idle. Hospitals are either destroyed or overwhelmed. Fuel is scarce. Food prices have surged by 700%. Gaza’s essential services have collapsed... This is not a crisis that demands more data. It demands more determination... The world knows what is happening in Gaza. The cost of delay will be measured in the lives of children lost."

- David Miliband, "How To Stop Gazans From Dying of Starvation Right Now" published on July 30, 2025

"Stressing that malnutrition has been rising rapidly in the first half of July, the report found that over 20,000 children have been admitted for treatment for acute malnutrition between April and mid-July, with more than 3,000 severely malnourished... Hospitals have reported a rapid increase in hunger-related deaths of children aged under 5, with at least 16 reported deaths since July 17"

I honestly don't know how she does it, but Mona is still managing the production and distribution of food, bread, and is distributing necessities like water, diapers, and cooking ingredients to displaced people while she herself is displaced. Yes, during a famine. She couldn't have done it without your help from the last donation drive. Donating to these mutual aid funds of groups like Mona's is indispensable help and support right now. You're making a difference. Do not hesitate to donate, every dollar counts! Thank you all for your continued support. P*ypal, Chuffed, Instagram.

(If you live in India or Pakistan and want to donate, contact her through the means listed on her account).

GFM for Mona's family. GFM for Mona's sister and niece.

None of this is possible without Mona and her family's diligence and work. If you would like to send her a thank you note or well wishes, please include it in the replies to this post, in your tags, or in the comments! She always appreciates them ♡
