While we continue to donate to personal evacuation funds, I think it is crucial to keep in mind that these individuals as well as millions more in Gaza are currently actively in need of basic necessities like food, water, shelter, and medical care. Keeping this in mind, and recognising that there is no way to know when the border crossing with Egypt will reopen, I think our attention should also be on raising funds for organisations currently on the ground who will have the widest impact on the lives of Palestinians who are still enduring the genocide in Gaza.

Below are some verified donation links of organisations that are currently providing assistance for the people in Gaza directly:

Food, water, and shelter

Taawon has launched a campaign to provide support in Gaza through food parcels, shopping vouchers, fresh produce, water bottles and shelter tents.

Watermelon Relief is a project initiated and implemented by a group of activists in Gaza, who work to provide aid to displaced families in Gaza through meals, support and activities.

World Food Programme (WFP) managed to provide assistance to more than 1 million people in Gaza in May by delivering food in shelters, makeshift camps and shops.

Life for Gaza is an initiative through which the Municipality of Gaza aims to provide basic necessities for the people of Gaza such as water projects, waste collection and the reconstruction of roads.

Arab Group for the Protection of Nature (APN) is working to plant farmlands in Gaza through their "Revive Gaza Farmlands" project, through which they had already started planting vegetables, fruits and leafy greens in Gaza.

Purchasing eSIMs is one of the only remaining ways to keep Gazans connected with the outside world, to get their stories out or even enable them to call for help after Israeli strikes.

The Sameer Project is a donation based aid initiative that provides tents, cash aid, diapers and formula for displaced families in Gaza.

Care For Gaza is an organisation that works to provide essential aid such as food packages and cash to deliver to displaced families in Gaza.

Palestine Children's Relief Fund, through their "Gaza Relief and Recovery" campaign, plan to provide essential medical supplies and treatments, as well as food and clean water.

The UNRWA has an Emergency Appeal for Gaza, where donations will provide families in Gaza with lifesaving food and water, winter kits and to repair UNRWA shelters.

Mutual Aid for the People of Gaza is a fundraiser managed by Mona in Gaza, who personally purchases and distributes basic supplies including food parcels to families in Gaza.

Help Gaza Children is another grassroots effort operating on the ground in Gaza to support families with food, water and clothing.

Medical care

Palestinian Red Crescent has been on the ground in Palestine since 1968 as part of the Red Cross & Crescent movement. They have had a continuous presence on the ground in Gaza as the main source of medical care and assistance.

Medical Aid for Palestine (MAP) provides medical supplies and supports healthcare services in Gaza.

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) provide medical and humanitarian aid in Palestine and have had their teams on the ground operating from MSF-supported health facilities across Gaza.

Gaza Wound Care is a medical team in a tent in Nuseirat, providing care to children and supporting pregnant women.

Children Not Numbers is an NGO dedicated to providing medical care for the children in Gaza including delivery of medical aid and medical evacuation for children.

the nazi israeli army must be stopped like actually its insane this has gone on for this long

[tamarrud]

I actually woke up this morning and was thinking how insane it is that the world didn't burst into flames hearing the voice recording of a six year old trapped in a car with her dead family pleading for someone to help her. How has that recording alone not move mountains? Or the fact that the official crews who coordinated with the IDF to go rescue her were killed along with her? Where is that story now? Where did people shelve it? How did things move past this one documented story, let alone the tens of thousand others?

[thatsocialmoth]

I nearly cried on the bus the other day feeling this. Like, how do we sleep knowing that people are being handed bags filled with carefully collected and weighed remains? Knowing that there is no knowing which pieces were which people because there is nothing left? That a man, desperate to bury his lost child, was told "bury it as if it was them" as he held 18kg of unidentifiable body and blood handed to him by another man who had spent hours weighing, collecting body parts and delivering the most horrifying news another human being can get? And no major news source seemed to care. The world keeps spinning and people shelve it and move on. Children are beheaded, men are getting birth certificates delivered knowing their child is already dead, pregnant people are giving birth in streets filled with filth, blood, and undrinkable water, women are cooking for their families meals made of grass and begging on the internet for mercy. People are starving to death in front of our eyes and the IOF is posting videos dancing on the graves of the graves of people they've killed, pointing and laughing. And there are still people willing to say, "It's just complicated." How? How has the brain developed to just put that somewhere, away, while we do every other thing? How are these horrors not shaking the foundations of the Earth herself in their wake? How have we reached a time where the mourners are the minority in the face of tragedy? If we outlined every crime the Israeli army has committed not only against the Palestinian people but against humanity, dignity and world at large, it would take lifetimes but nearly as many lifetimes as Israel has stripped from the countries around it.

we cannot let the people saying "legal child-killing" rejoin society without repercussions. this is depraved. i don't want to share a society with you people. the idea of it repulses me. you people deserve nothing less than ostracization and the end of your platforms and careers.

US and UK to back Israel over ICJ ruling after blurring their Rafah red lines

Having initially vowed to oppose any offensive, Washington and London are showing signs of having backed down

[sayruq]

[omgellendean]

Biden didn't "cave" to Israel. He simply lied when saying Rafah would be his red line. He lied.

[tamarrud]

Palestinian men are holding up actual beheaded babies for the world to see on their screens and nothing is done, while the world rallied behind Israel in its genocide for the sake of invented beheaded babies, a fabricated story that resulted in the killing of 15,000 children at least. Sick world.

Israel's newest massacre in Rafah is dubbed مجزرة مخيم النازحين

"The massacre of displacement camps"

35 displaced Palestinians killed in makeshift tents. This is where we're at. This is Israel.

My god the footage of israel’s bombing of the Rafah refugee camp is some of the most horrifying images I’ve ever seen. My god make this stop.

[steamandcream]

thinking about how when you experience a lot of shame in your formative years (indirectly, directly, as abuse or just as an extant part of your environment) it becomes really difficult to be perceived by other people in general. the mere concept of someone watching me do anything, whether it's a totally normal activity or something unfamiliar of embarrassing, whether I'm working in an excel spreadsheet or being horny on main, it just makes my skin crawl and my brain turn to static because I cannot convince myself that it's okay to be seen and experienced. because to exist is to be ashamed and embarrassed of myself, whether I'm failing at something or not, because my instinctive reaction to anyone commenting on ANYTHING I'm doing is to crawl into a hole and die. it's such a bizarre and dehumanizing feeling to just not be able to exist without constantly thinking about how you are being Perceived. ceaseless watcher give me a god damn break.

[recreationaldivorce]

we already knew this of course but god "never again" was so fucking empty. a complete lie. last reliable estimate was 6 operating ambulances in the entire gaza strip. 1 in 100 people in gaza have been killed. gaza city estimated 80% destroyed. and what have the un done? what has the west done? what has nato done, what has the eu done? may humanity never forgive and never forget.

me: Pathetic. Disgusting. Won’t Let It Happen Again.

navigating social interactions and rules doesn't really make me feel like an unsocialised dog or anything like that but more like one of those guys in an m.c. escher or hieronymous bosch painting
