I am Ahmed from Gaza🍉🇵🇸
Today, I fed countless hungry cats and dogs suffering from the devastation of war and severe food shortages. While many extend their help to people, few consider the plight of innocent animals dying from hunger and disease. Your support can make a difference—every small donation helps sustain this vital work.🥺💔

Hello everyone, I have another campaign update;
Hello my dears, I hope you are well. Please help me. I, Mahmoud Baalou,… Marleen Tipu needs your support for Please Save What's
Marah's and her family are fighting to survive the horrible conditions of genocide in Ghazza.
With winter growing closer, their tents are becoming flooded with cold rain. They are in danger of catching sickness from the cold, which they could not treat since they have no medicine.
Those who suffer the most from this lack of medicine are Marah's parents, who are both chronically ill with diabetes and high blood pressure. On top of the universal threats faced by those in Ghazza; starvation, the elements, dehydration, bombing, they are also in danger of death from the lack of their essential medications.
Marah has also been unable to see her brother Mahmoud (talked about in my previous post) in a whole year. Much like Marah, his dreams have been uprooted by the occupation with the bombings of his store.
The university where Marah used to study was also destroyed. It's her dream to study engineering, and due to this siege her entire future has become uncertain and upended.
In order for Marah, Mahmoud, and the rest of their family to be able to evacuate and rebuild their lives, they need to raise $50,000 USD. So far, they've raised $18,651; their last donation was 30 minutes ago, which was their only donation in 2 hours.
Please help them in any way you are capable. Donate if you can and share their campaign; every contribution is invaluable to their survival.

help naema & her family escape to safety
this drawing shows naema mabed (right) with a patron and two cats at the MEOW cat café in gaza in the early fall of 2023.
naema's dream was to create a calming, therapeutic space for gazans to interact with precious animals.
naema and her family now face a nightmare.

naema writes:
"I realized that there is no place is safe here and want to secure my family in a safe place out side Gaza strip, raised fund to srnd them to Egypt, but the boarder is closed now. Once its open , my family will move to Egypt and re establish the MEOW Cat Cafe again.
Many scenarios are told about what can happen to us, or where they will send us.
I started go fund me asking for something else that I had better optimistic plan considering staying in Gaza and rebuilding the Cafe and my house again, but if you follow Gaza news you will see that the situation is getting worse and war is getting harder and no view for tomorrow.
Please help me take my family out of Gaza and afterwards,if we still alive I promise to keep you updated about my future plans considering having a Cat Cafe in a safe place.
My life was happy and stable till the war happened and destroyed our lives,buildings,dreams,universities and future became un- clear.
Life has priorities and my priority for today to safe my family and get them out of Gaza as urgent as possible and secure their lives and way of living once they settele in another place."
the MEOW cat café had opened in august 2023.
naema told mondoweiss:
i included cats in my café for people in order to help them to be happy and feel nice inside this place. i want to help them to forget about the troubles and crises they live through [...] i spent years caring for and raising cats. they are a source of calm and joy, and many people love to spend time with them.
shortly after the war began, the MEOW cat café was closed before it was destroyed and ultimately demolished.

i've shared amal's gofundme (@amalashuor) several times, but i just received messages from her that broke my heart
amal is a 26 year old mother from gaza. she is an incredibly dedicated and loving mother to her year old daughter, maryam. before the war, she was studying to receive her masters degree in french language. on her instagram (@/amal_sufian97_) she shared beautiful photos of her life and family in the years before the war.
now amal, her husband, and maryam have been displaced several times and have nowhere to turn to. amal wishes to finish her degree, and both she and her husband want nothing more than a better life for their young daughter. every time i receive a message from amal, my heart is full knowing she is still alive, but it breaks for her suffering. i implore you, please donate any amount you're able to help amal and her family escape gaza. they deserve nothing less than safety, warmth, love, laughter, security, and life. as of july 6th, €1,025 / €30,000 has been raised. her campaign is also included on el-shab-hussein and nabulsi's spreadsheet of verified fundraiser (#175). if you're unable to donate, please share. i want nothing more than to give amal hope that she can provide a better life for her daughter.

Hello,
I am Tamer Al-Deeb, a Palestinian dentist from Gaza.
[Picture of Tamer before the war in his clinic]
I have hesitated and delayed for a long time to write these words and create an account on GoFundMe, but the need has become very urgent due to what I see of death approaching myself and my family.
To begin our story, it is important to introduce my family, who are the core of my existence and the source of my strength during these turbulent times:
We are a family of four suffering for over 9 months from a brutal war that spares neither humans nor stones.
Mother: The Heart of Our Home
My mother embodies generosity and kindness as a devoted homemaker, always prioritizing her family's well-being. Her unwavering love remains our sanctuary amidst the chaos.
Father: The Pillar of Strength
My father, Majed, a dedicated professor, faced the destruction of the university he served. Despite this, his commitment to education and society remains unshaken.
Brother: A Beacon of Healing
My brother, Mohammad, a compassionate doctor, confronts the challenges of healthcare amidst dwindling supplies and occupation brutality, showcasing remarkable dedication to healing.
Tamer: A Dream Deferred
As for myself, Tamer, I was on the verge of a new beginning, with aspirations to further my career in Germany. I had saved thousands of dollars for the mandatory block account to support my stay abroad. However, the conflict has not only shattered my professional dreams but also consumed what didn't burn of my savings, compelling me to fight for my family's survival amidst the escalating costs of basic human necessities.

Since the beginning of the war, we were forced to flee our home in the north of the Gaza Strip to the supposed safe area in the south. But unfortunately, this was just the beginning. We have been displaced four times in the same southern area, fleeing from death always surrounding us.
Initially, we fled to a school belonging to the UNRWA in the Nuseirat camp until we were forced to move to another area, and the Maghazi camp was the intended destination. Then a UNRWA school, where we were residing in a tent inside, was targeted, killing 7 civilians. We were forced to flee again to a tent in Rafah, but the scarcity of clean water and the spread of epidemics and diseases forced us to flee again to a UNRWA school in the Deir Al-Balah area until now.
UNRWA has been providing refuge to hundreds of displaced families for the past six months at schools that have become vital community hubs, offering shelter to thousands of individuals trapped in the southern region.
Women and children sleep inside classrooms, and the men sleep outside in tents set up in the courtyard. Rainstorms recently have flooded our tents, and it's very difficult to take care of our basic needs.
[Pictures of Tamer after the war in the UNRWA school and his tent]
I am currently volunteering at Al-Aqsa Hospital, assisting in the maxillofacial surgery department. However, a sense of helplessness and despair often overwhelms me. It's hard to put into words the horrors and injuries I witness daily. Surrounded by the shroud of death and the cries of the wounded, I feel powerless. "I want to save you, I want you to live," I often think, "I will do everything in my power to make it happen!" Sadly, many times, they become part of the countless casualties from my homeland. The shortages in food, water, and medical supplies are dire, to the extent that we sometimes perform surgeries without anesthesia. The suffering is unimaginable.

Now we hope to escape death, we hope for the end of the war, we hope to leave the Gaza Strip, and we hope to live a decent life away from bombing, occupation, and destruction.
It has been 9 months of hell and horror. This genocide has been too long to bear, and our mental health and lives are in constant danger. (I can’t describe enough what I have been dealing with daily in the hospitals for the past days. We have reached a point where there is no hope left for us here in Gaza, where we are unfortunately just waiting for our turn to die, and even if there is a ceasefire, the destruction in Gaza is beyond prompt repair
Evacuation fees are expensive, especially now that I have no source of income. Once we can evacuate, your donations will cover our travel expenses and help us get immediate support in Egypt. There will be meal expenses, wardrobe expenses, emergency expenses, etc., but no generous contribution will go to waste.
To cross the “Rafah” Gaza-Egypt Borders, you need to have your name listed in the Crossing List (paid permit), and coordinators in Egypt who have the power to add my family’s names to the list at the border are now asking for anywhere from $6-8,000 per PERSON! They will not add the names until we can prove we have the money ready.
I ask for your help because this is not just my battle alone, but a battle in which we seek your helping hand to survive and preserve our families. Any donation, big or small, will have a huge impact on the lives of my family and me. I am grateful to everyone who donates, and I will remain grateful forever for giving hope and opportunity to me and my family to survive and build a better future.
Thank you for reading my story. For sharing my story with your friends and family. I hope, there is a ceasefire, and we can get the rest and safety we deserve to build our lives all over again. ❤️

They demolished everything and destroyed everything since their aggression on the Gaza Strip. Gaza on October 7
Unfortunately, I was also a target for them, and my dreams ended and everything in my life was destroyed since I and my family were injured on October 16. I lost my feet and my eyes, and my hands are immobile, and I need treatment outside the Gaza Strip to complete my life, stand on my feet, and see with my eyes.

Gaza War: Not Only Laughter is the Best Medicine, but it is also a Survival Tactic
Holding on to joy and laughter is a workable tactic of resistance that maintains our sanity and mental health. It is an act of suspending the cruel unbearable reality for a few minutes to steal some joy and laughter from the cruel life we live.
Also, deep down, I realize that succumbing to my pain and depression brought by the horrific war is a luxury I cannot afford because if I fall apart, my family that depends on me will fall apart. Therefore, fighting back and securing a safe life for my family is my ultimate goal at this stage in my life.
