Rebuilding What Was Erased – A Message from Abedmajed in Gaza
My name is Abedmajed, and I live in Gaza with what remains of my once large and loving family.
In a single missile strike, we lost over 25 members of our family. They were not just names. They were mothers, daughters, sons, grandparents — people we shared meals with, laughed with, and built dreams with.
The missile hit our family home — the heart of everything we knew.
Among those killed were: 🕊️ My mother 🕊️ My sister 🕊️ My older brother His wife and their three daughters 🕊️ My uncle, his wife, and all their sons and grandchildren
We were left with nothing but rubble and grief. Yet somehow, my brother and I survived. And now, we carry the responsibility of rebuilding what was taken — not just for ourselves, but for our father, our surviving siblings, and the memory of those we lost.
💔 Why We’re Fundraising
This campaign is not just about survival. It’s about rebuilding a future — A family home, a shared life, a place where our father can rest safely, Where the next generation of our family can grow up knowing peace instead of trauma.
💬 The funds raised will help us:
🏗️ Rebuild our family home — which was completely destroyed 🛠️ Provide basic support for our father and siblings 🏡 Create safe, livable conditions for a family shattered by loss
🔒 How the Funds Are Managed
Due to the collapse of Gaza’s financial system, all donations are processed through my brother, who has a U.S. registered Stripe account. Funds are securely transferred to Gaza and distributed in cash here on the ground. We are transparent and ready to provide proof of every step.
🌱 Why Your Support Matters
We are not asking for charity. We’re asking for a chance to stand again, To rebuild something we can pass on to the children who survived.

Your support gives us the strength not just to remember the ones we lost — but to honor them by continuing.
💬 If you can’t donate, a reblog means the world. 🕊️ From Gaza, with hope and dignity — thank you.
Frankly and briefly, the situation in Gaza cannot be written about in a mere post or expressed in a mere picture or video clip. The situation in Gaza is more like an end-of-the-world movie, but this movie is titled The End of Gaza!!
There are many, many people who no longer care about the Palestinian issue and the Gaza war, as if it has become from another world or as if we are not human beings like you.
I hope that people who have humanity and mercy will show solidarity with us, share our suffering, help us overcome these hardships, and donate to us. And for those people who want a verification mark for our campaign so they can donate to us, here is the link to verify that our campaign is real and it is number 4 on this list gazavetters
"I am Abdel-Majeed… writing to you from the heart of hunger and bombardment"
Peace be upon you,
I never imagined I’d write a plea to the world like this…
But today, I have no other choice.
My name is Abdel-Majeed.
I’m a father to a baby girl who hasn’t even turned one 👶,
and a husband to a patient, broken-hearted wife —
she has nothing left but her tears and prayers.
We are now living under a sky raining fire 💥
and on a land with no food and no water 🚫💧.
Hunger is eating us alive.
The shelling never stops.
Even the soup kitchens have closed 🚷 —
And the only hope left is in the hearts of the kind and merciful ❤️.
I know the world is tired.
I know everyone is struggling.
But I am writing to you from deep pain —
From the heart of a father with nothing left:
No milk 🍼, no bread 🍞, not even a drop of hope.
A bag of flour here costs $600 💸.
Can you imagine?
We don’t dream of meat 🥩 or fruit 🍎 —
We just want a small piece of bread to silence my baby girl’s cries.
I cry in silence 😢
as I watch her tremble from hunger,
while my wife tries to soothe her
with the softest voice full of broken tenderness…
But love alone doesn’t feed.
And it doesn’t protect us from the bombs 💔.
Please… Don’t scroll past.
Even $5 could be the line between life and death.
I’m not asking for the impossible.
I just want to keep my family alive.
To give my daughter one more day…
My name is Abdelmajed, and I am a survivor of the war in Gaza. Everything I once knew has been taken away—my home, my safety, and the people
Please share — don’t let this post fade.
Let it reach every living heart.
Save a life today.
Be the hope we no longer have. ✨
sometimes mental illness does make you act like a bitch. when my ocd was undiagnosed a couple years back I was absolutely insufferable because I could not control my confession/reassurance and rumination compulsions at all and I fucking hated myself so everything had to be morally pure or I would spiral and I made myself believe and said some things that made my personality not the best. sometimes healing means knowing that you are not perfect. sometimes mental health issues make people act awful and that does not give you the right to demonize and dehumanize them or the disorder. yes even that disorder. and sometimes you have to forgive yourself for the bad things you believed. you are not perfect and that is a good thing.
This comic is a little different than what I usually do but I worked real hard on it—Maybe I'll make more infographic stuff in the future this ended up being fun. Hope you learned something new :)
If you are still curious and want to learn more about OCD, you can visit the International OCD Foundation's website. I also recommend this amazing TED ED video "Starving The Monster", which was my first introduction to the disorder and this video by John Green about his own experience with OCD.
The IOCDF's website can also help you find support groups, therapy, and has lots of online guides and resources as well if you or a loved one is struggling with the disorder. It is very comprehensive!

Gaza Online is calling for direct upload of eSim QR codes from Nomad, Holafly (Israel and Egypt), Airalo, Sparks, and Numero. A detailed guide of how to purchase eSims and get QR codes for all of these apps (and desktop sites) can be found here.
Mahmoud Abu Salama is doing an amazing thing in North Gaza! He is starting a project to help Deaf Palestinian women use their pastry making skills while also distributing food to families in need. This is helping both the women make a bit of a living and feed the hungry in the North.
By donating, we’re helping Mahmoud hire more women who take pride in helping both themselves and their communities! So please feel free to donate if you have a few dollars to spare, or spread the link if you're unable! Any little bit helps!

despite mass arrests by NYPD and several students (including rep ilhan omar’s daughter, isra hirsi) being suspended for their participation and having their university identification deactivated, the gaza solidarity encampment is still going strong well into its second day. def recommend following independent reporter talia jane who is taking part and providing live updates. (talia was the first reporter to break aaron bushnell’s self immolation in february; she was one of the reporters he contacted personally prior to the protest.)
thank you so much alexa @shivsblunt for mentioning it…..anyone who wants to contribute to their jail support fund can do so @ bcabolitioncollective on v*nmo. also, if anyone is in the area and available to join (via cssw4palestine on ig):
Please help the family of a non-verbal autistic child (who has been losing weight because he only eats certain kinds of food, largely unavailable during this time) leave Gaza!

I thought I understood the situation on the ground. But I didn’t.
Nothing can truly prepare you for this dystopia. What reaches the rest of the world is a fraction of what I’ve seen so far, which is only a fraction of this horror’s totality.
Gaza is hell. It is an inferno teeming with innocents gasping for air.
But even the air here is scorched. Every breath scratches and sticks to the throat and lungs.
What was once vibrant, colorful, full of beauty, potential and hope against all odds, is draped in gray-colored misery and grime.
But how does one reckon with losing your entire family, watching and smelling their bodies disintegrate around you in the rubble, as you wait for rescue or death? How does one reckon with total erasure of your existence in the world – your home, family, friends, health, whole neighborhood and country?
No photos of your family, wedding, children, parents left; even the graves of your loved ones and ancestors bulldozed. All this while the most powerful forces and voices vilify and blame you for your wretched fate.
Genocide isn’t just mass murder. It is intentional erasure.
Of histories. Of memories, books and culture.
Erasure of potential in a land. Erasure of hope in and for a place.
i hate when americans get asked about the israeli/palestinian conflict and they say “well it’s not really my place to have an opinion” our country literally funds genocide against the palestinian people in the name of “defense” it absolutely is our business, we should be as mad as we can as loudly as possible.
the us military did this in vietnam too, they were called “free fire zones”

somewhat imperialist language in this link below but it still explains us military policy of indiscriminately shooting anything that moved and victims being listed as probable combatants no matter what

It’s my birthday! If you have liked any of my content over the years, please consider donating anything you can to this fund so that Moataz, Mariam, and baby Maria can evacuate Gaza. Maria is out of milk and nutritious food, and they are under siege near Al-Shifa Hospital.
We are now in the sixth month of the ng in famine and siege, with no escape but prayer. My wife and I decided to evacuate to Egypt to rebui
