the co-founder of 'crips for esims for gaza' and disability advocate, alice wong, has died according to her twitter account.
alice's disability advocacy naturally led her to palestine solidarity as the quote from the blog post announcing 'crips for esims' illustrates:
We also recognize that everyone in Gaza is now disabled due to the massive number of deaths, new disabilities, life-threatening illnesses and destruction of medical facilities going on. Such destruction also debilitates the land, water, and air, which will impact Palestinians and all surrounding life for generations to come. We owe our kin in Palestine to throw sand on the gears of genocide with our every breath. [source: the disability visibility project]
since december 2023, crips for esims for gaza has raised well over $3.1M and bought and maintained over 5,000 esims, undoubtedly saving lives.
in the past few days there has been intense winter flooding in gaza. donate to honor alice wong's memory–to keep people connected, to give disabled people the tools to advocate for themselves, to refuse to let palestine be silenced.
Crips for eSims for Gaza is a collaboration between Jane Shi, Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, and Alice Wong.
I'm writing this with tears in my eyes. I can't bear this situation anymore. My brother suffers from bipolar disorder and his condition is extremely critical; he has anemia and malnutrition.
The Gaza Health Ministry reported the above numbers in June of 2024 and even then they called out that this was an underestimate.
This is without a doubt a low estimate. We obviously know Israel ramped up the killing. These numbers don't even count the 2nd half of 2024 or all of 2025.
If the IDF is accepting these numbers it's because they're hoping they can push back on the actual death toll
The sky burned above us and the ground shook beneath us. We ran with nothing but fear in our hands. Please donate if you can, your support is the only thing keeping us alive.
I think it's important now more than ever to understand that the media is always trying to misdirect from the horrific violence going on in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. Horrors are still happening. Bombs are still falling. People still need help.
Please consider donating to my dear friend Nader -- a young man in Gaza right now who's been tirelessly raising funds so his family can eat and afford care. We cannot forget Gazans are people just like us who deserve support in their time of need. FUNDRAISER HERE.
Hello, I will not prolong my speech. Frankly, I do not have the energy to write. You are all seeing, via TV, phone and computer, what is happening in Gaza, broadcast live in the last two days. The situation has become terrifying. Yes, the bombing does not stop. Never, never stops, and everything is close. We are tired of the many appeals and the world is ignoring us. (Please help us, share and donate. We really need assistance.) Donate if you can, please.
Are you tired of standing with Gaza? It seems you are. I no longer see you writing, participating, speaking. Everything has become quiet... except Gaza.
You tell me: "I've been trying for two years, and everything I've done has been of no use." But let me tell you: No, you are not the one who should be tired. You are behind the screen. They are under fire. You see the bombing from afar, and they are under the rubble. You are silent from exhaustion, and they are being buried by the world's silence.
If you are tired of just following, what about those who are living through the massacre? Those who lost their homes, their families, their bodies, their names?
If two years of solidarity have weighed down your heart, what about those who have lived through two years of hunger, terror, and betrayal?
Don't say, "It's no use." Your presence, your voice, your awareness, your refusal—that's the difference. Don't be one of those who are tired of speaking, so they have become part of the silence. Gaza doesn't need your hero, but a person who doesn't ignore. Don't be absent. Don't be silent. Don't be the last to be let down.
The child Nasser and his younger siblings suffer from malnutrition, as well as severe illness and weakness. He cannot work because of his illness, but you can see his blog @naser-aid Also verified by @gazavetters Number 19 on the list
Imarried Huda on June 22nd. I was very happy with her. I photograph humanitarian issues for the world. The war started and we were exposed to a deadly attack that we miraculously survived.
We became homeless, without food or drink. My wife was crying. I set up my tent for the first time after displacement on November 1st. We sought refuge with all the relief organizations, but no one helped me. We are now awaiting the birth of our first child after a long wait. Huda is pregnant... I tried to search for safety by any means, for me, my wife Huda, and our eagerly awaiting son, Malek! 😭
We were surprised by the new displacement and the terrifying sight of the bombing. We lost everything we owned for the second time, we took refuge in Rafah, I tried in every way to provide healthy food for my wife and our expectant child, but we were surprised for the third time by a major attack that made us leave without any food or shelter, Huda is eight months pregnant and we were displaced for the fifth time, this time is the worst, Huda and I stayed for five days sleeping on the burning sand of the sea. We did not taste food for five days, 💔

we were forced to sell sweets to save and pay the price of the tent. The date of birth of our first child, Malek, came, while we were preparing our tent to receive him, the place next door was bombed. Huda saw the remains, she lost consciousness, Dr. Ghassan requested an emergency delivery, Malek, our first child, died, I cried bitterly, and she entered a state of blood poisoning. All I want from you is to help me to save my family and Huda and restore my hope in life, from now on you, my family, I want to reach my goal, any donation. Help me save my family, if you can't please I just want to cry💔🥹🙏
