Also consider donating to the Gaza Municipality, which is tasked with providing and repairing vital services such as roads, water supply, waste management and sewage treatment in Gaza City.
I'm posting on behalf of my friend Suad ( @stillwritingtoday ) , who I've known almost since the beginning of the siege and bombardment on Gaza, which has left everyone homeless and lacking the basic necessities of survival.
I told you about how Suad gave birth to a beautiful boy, Khaled, during the war, and she has been doing everything she can to care for him under such harsh conditions. Unfortunately, he has been suffering various health problems since he was born.
And now he is experiencing issues with his leg and requires urgent treatment including special medical gear for his leg, in addition to the nutrients any growing child needs to survive, especially calcium rich foods, which are harder to come by as healthy food is incredibly inaccessible due to high prices.
Suad herself was recently hospitalized and found out that she is pregnant, which means another challenge added to her plate. Imagine how debilitating the lack of proper nutrition is to Suad now more than ever, for herself and the new life she's nurturing. She's already suffering from malnutrition and anemia due to the lack of proper food during her pregnancy.
On top of this she needs a new pair of glasses as her prescription has changed.
If you can donate to support Suad and her family please check their fundraiser! And share as widely as you can!
My name is Farzana and I, along with my cousin Preya, are helping Suad collect donations so she can purchase essentials in Gaza. Aid has bee

When my soul touches yours a great chord sings!
How shall I tune it then to other things?
O! That some spot in darkness could be found
That does not vibrate whenโer your depth sound.
But everything that touches you and me
Welds us as played strings sound one melody.
Where is the instrument whence the sounds flow?
And whose the master-hand that holds the bow?
O! Sweet songโ
for those like me who cannot install alternative android forks on their phone because the phone in question is thoroughly unrootable, I would recommend downloading anyapk on your phone while you still can. In their own words:
anyapk is a lightweight Android application installer that bypasses Google's developer verification requirements by using local ADB (Android Debug Bridge) connections. Smoothly install any APK file on your device without restrictions, gatekeepers, or corporate approval.
If you're reading this after Google's lockdown date and are unable to install anyapk the regular way, there is a method outlined on the github linked above which tells you how to install anyapk on your phone by plugging it into a computer with ADB installed on it. Once you have anyapk on your phone, you will not have to do that ever again (unless you delete anyapk off your phone)
