How much would you pay for bread if you were starving?
A kilogram of flour in Gaza costs 100 shekels (equivalent to 30 dollars or 26 euros) and counting. A couple hours ago I saw one account that said it was up to over 150. The cost keeps increasing as the artificially created scarcity allows merchants to raise prices to outrageous levels. Israel has designed this famine.
If families cannot afford these costs, they have two options:
Raise funds online and hope that people care enough to actually donate.
Risk their lives at aid distribution sites, which Israeli military uses as traps to massacre starving people.
This is designed, intentionally, as part of the genocide. I need you to understand this. It's not that the aid sites are safe unless the occupation happens to strike. It's that the United States and Israel have worked together to block all other aid so that Palestinians have no choice but to enter US funded and Israeli owned hubs where they can kill as many people as possible. Almost every single day since these GHF aid sites have been operating, Palestinians have been massacred at them.
This reality has been reported on even by news sources in countries that have extreme incentive toward zionist bias.
Time reports Jul 16, 2025, "The incident is the latest in a series of deadly events near aid hubs run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a U.S.-based organization operating with Israeli support...The death toll of Palestinians killed near GHF aid hubs has now reached nearly 700, according to United Nations figures released on Tuesday."
CBC reports Jun 25, 2025: "The scene Tuesday was the latest in nearly daily violent incidents near aid centres one month after distribution was taken over by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). The U.S.- and Israeli-backed GHF has drawn controversy since replacing UN-run relief operations in Gaza for using private American contractors and forcing people past Israel Defence Forces soldiers on the perimeter to reach these hubs... The Red Cross said the "vast majority" of patients who arrived at its Gaza field hospital during mass casualty incidents in the past month had reported that they were wounded while trying to access aid at or around distribution points."
AP News reports June 4, 2025: "Shootings have erupted nearly daily since last week in the Gaza Strip in the vicinity of new hubs where desperate Palestinians are being directed to collect food. Witnesses say nearby Israeli troops have opened fire... aid distribution hubs are being run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a newly formed group of mainly American contractors. Israel wants GHF to replace humanitarian groups in Gaza that distribute aid in coordination with the U.N."
PBS reports Jun 2, 2025: "Witnesses said Israeli forces fired toward the crowds just before dawn around a kilometer (about 1,100 yards) from an aid site run by an Israeli-backed foundation... The International Committee of the Red Cross said in a statement its field hospital in Rafah received 179 casualties including women and children, 21 of them declared dead upon arrival, the majority with gunshot or shrapnel wounds."
More than just being reported on, this reality is being lived right now, by several of my friends. Two of these friends are Mahrah Balousha (@mahrahpalestine) and her brother Mahmoud (@palestinian95).
The money they can raise right now, this week is literally life or death. If they cannot raise this money, they either starve or are forced to enter a very literal death trap. This is serious. Please understand the gravity of what I'm writing here.

I am Ibrahim, 15 years old. I am working hard to save my family, but at this time I am working to save my father, who is a cancer patient in critical condition, and I am working to provide an amount of money for his travel expenses to receive treatment abroad. Let us not forget the suffering of this War has no clean water, which is one of the most important necessities of life, no food, no medicine for the sick and every person here in Gaza I appreciate your valuable time. Please consider for just two minutes to donate
Ibrahim's Father potentially has the chance to recieve treatment outside of Gaza, and yet Ibrahim's family ALSO needs the funds to escape. Please donate if you can!
mohammed, my friend, has a fundraising campaign that is currently at 34%, finally surpassing 1/3 of their goal, but we still have a long way ahead on helping the al manasra family on getting $30,000. it would be wonderful if you could share it and donate to them!
any amount matters so much! $5, $10 or even more would make such a amazing difference. can we try to get to $15,000 before the end of may? mohammed's son, abdul rahman, desperately need care after getting severely injured and burned. this is urgent!
Please, don't leave me alone in this difficult time... I desperately need your support, even a small donation can help. I'm exhausted, and the pain is more than I can bear."
Please, please help Mohamed take care of his badly injured little boy. Abdul Rahman is just a little kid. If we can help alleviate his suffering, we will have filled an urgent and important need.
Please, even if you can only share a small amount, help this family out!
A lotta transfeminine resources tend to neglect that estrogen will give you the more stigmatised parts of having a female body as well as the cool stuff. Like. I have cellulite on my thighs. Stretch marks everywhere. Its so cool and pretty and neglecting to mention this to transgender women simply shows how stigmatised they are.
Its also worth noting that your body will be imperfect the way all women's bodies are. You'll never fit the patriarchal ideal. It took me YEARS to love my breasts in all their wonkiness and stretchmark-ness, and then I once mentioned to a cis friend I used to feel self-conscious about them and she said "All women do at some point"
Like my point is we are women, and we have the same expectations of unachievable perfection placed upon us. But learning to love your body and your womanhood with its imperfections, its cellulite its stretch marks etc. Is very good.

The genocide in Ghazzah has caused permanent effects on those who survived it. Many Ghazzans have lost their homes, their health, and their loved ones. Many survivors are still at risk of more serious health effects due to being deprived of food, shelter, and medical care for so long. However, with swift action and support for Ghazzans, you can help them heal and avoid more suffering.
One person you can help is Suham Bader. Suham's arm was injured over a year ago, but she was not able to recieve treatment for it as her family was forced to flee their home. Without medical treatment, her bone fused incorrectly. During a year of suffering through cold and pain, Suham's condition has kept getting worse. Her parents and her uncle @hashembadr are very worried for her. If Suham does not recieve surgery soon, she will lose her arm entirely.
Hashem and his family have been fundraising for almost a year now, but they have only reached 14% of their goal so far. They urgently need funds for Suham to get the surgery she require, but donations keep stopping for days at a time. They still need to raise around £4900 to cover the price of surgery and the transfer costs.
Suham is just a kid. She's lost her home and has gone through a year of unimaginable trauma. Please, help her get the surgery she needs. It's all her family is asking right now. Your donation and sharing their campaign both make a difference in her life.

I would like to share the story of my friend Smahan. Today Sma… Hana ne Fazazi needs your support for Reunite a Family Torn Apart: A Daughte
Hello, my name is Rola, and I am a mother of two children living in the Gaza Strip. Our lives were once filled with love, laughter, and dreams for the future. But everything changed on October 7th, when the war shattered not only our home but our entire world.
That morning, my family and I were enjoying coffee together on the balcony. Out of nowhere, an explosion erupted, shaking our home violently. My husband and son ran for cover, falling over each other in panic, while I stood frozen, still holding my cup, unable to process the chaos around me. When I looked out the window, I saw that our neighbor’s house, once filled with life, had been reduced to rubble. Ambulances rushed to the scene as people scrambled to rescue the injured and pull bodies from the debris.
The bombings didn’t stop. At night, the rain poured heavily, and the cold seeped into our bones. I stayed awake, covering my children to keep them warm and praying for their safety. But safety is an illusion here. Another explosion shattered the night, and our neighbors’ home was destroyed. Their children, who had been sleeping peacefully under a blanket, were found lifeless, their cover soaked in blood.
I looked at my children with tears in my eyes and thought, How can I protect you? We had to flee our home with nothing but the clothes on our backs. We left behind my children’s toys, their clothes, and their beautiful bedroom. Everything we had worked so hard to build is gone.
Our Current Reality Now, we are displaced and living in a nightmare. Food is scarce, and prices are unimaginably high—$10 for a kilo of sugar! The fear of death hangs over us constantly. My children deserve a life of joy and hope, not one defined by fear and loss. Why can’t we live like everyone else—go to work, visit family, and watch our children play in safety? Why do our children have to grow up surrounded by death and destruction?
How You Can Help I am pleading for your kindness to help us rebuild our lives. We need your support to: 💔 Rebuild our home, so my children can feel safe again. 🌍 Evacuate from Gaza, seeking a future where my family can live with dignity. 🩺 Provide urgent medical care for my children, who need protection from this nightmare.
Even the smallest donation can make a difference. If you can’t donate, please share my story. Every share brings us closer to hope.
What Your Support Means Your kindness is not just about helping us survive; it’s about giving us a chance to dream again. To rebuild what we’ve lost and to ensure my children have a future filled with possibilities, not fear.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Your support means the world to us. Let’s work together to rebuild hope, one step at a time.
🌸 Please share our story and consider donating today. 🌸
Hi I am Fatima and live in London UK. I have known Rola now for appr… Fatima Rajwani needs your support for From Despair to Hope: Help us to
Hello, my name is Mosab, and I live in Gaza with my family. Life here has become more difficult than I could have ever imagined, and I’m reaching out with hope that someone will hear our story.
The war has taken so much from us—our home, our stability, and, most painfully, 25 of our beloved family members. Their absence is an unimaginable void, and every day is a struggle to survive amidst loss and hardship.
Our Reality Right Now:
💔 Struggling to Stay Afloat: With no stable source of income, even the most basic needs—food, clean water, and shelter—are uncertain.
📚 Dreams Put on Hold: The future we once imagined has been replaced by the daily fight to get through each day.
😢 A Deep Loss That Can’t Be Replaced: The pain of losing 25 loved ones is something no one should have to endure.
An Update on Our Fundraiser
Thanks to the kindness of generous souls, we have raised $809 so far—but we are still far from our goal of $90,000. Every contribution, no matter how small, brings us closer to securing basic necessities and rebuilding our lives.
How You Can Help:
A small donation can make a big impact—even $10 can provide relief in ways you can't imagine.
If donating isn’t possible, sharing this post is just as valuable. Every share helps us reach someone who might be able to help.
Your kindness gives us hope in the darkest of times. Thank you for standing with us and for reminding us that even in the worst moments, humanity still shines.
My name is Mosab Elderawi, and I am a survivor of the war in Gaza. Life as I knew it has been completely destroyed. I have lost my home, my
Unfortunately, this is what has happened to me up until this moment in this devastating war. At first, our house was bombed while my family and I were inside, which led to me being injured by shrapnel from the explosion that entered my body and is still stuck to this moment and needs urgent surgery!!!!😭
We now live in my grandmother's bombed house too In a partially destroyed room!!!!
I have to have my operation in a country with an advanced health system because it is high risk and unfortunately I do not have the costs of travel and treatment, so I created a fundraising campaign so that I can collect the costs of my treatment!!!! 😭
Until this moment, we have escaped death more than ten times, but unfortunately my pain has not stopped. Rather, my condition is getting more dangerous because the iron fragments remain stuck in my body, and delaying treatment will lead to infection in my blood!!!!!😭
After that, unfortunately, I was involved in a very serious car accident that severed the tendon in my foot and I became unable to walk. I only use a wheelchair. I cannot describe this feeling that I became restricted and unable to move!!!!😭
What is worse than this is that I have started wishing for death from the intense pain I suffer from all the time in my wounds because of the iron fragments, and when they move I really wish I would die from the intensity of the pain and also the intense pain I suffer from in my feet!!!!😭😭
The doctors told me that I must have surgery on my foot to be able to walk again, and I do not have the costs of my treatment for my foot or the costs of removing the iron fragments stuck in my body, so I hope that you will help me with a donation so that I can have my surgeries as soon as possible to get rid of my severe pain and be able to walk again, please!!!!😭
Donations are very weak I did not receive any donations today I am going through the worst days of my life All the time I am thinking whether I will be able to walk again or not and whether I will be able to undergo my surgeries or whether I will die I hope you make me happy Please you are my only way treatment and survival I hope you donate to me so I can get treatment Please do not ignore me!!!!😭
