Isreal is deliberately starving Gaza. Prices are high, and donations are slow for Youssef and his family...
Israel targeted and killed 7 children and 4 adults waiting for water in a drone strike while crowds of people attempted to retrieve clean water from a water truck on July 13th. Water shortages are becoming worse. Fuel shortages are heavily affecting desalination sanitation facilities. People are now dependant on collection centres.
That massacre was just one of several in a 24 hour period on July 12th and 13th. The Health Ministry in Gaza reported that 139 bodies have been brought to hospitals within that 24 hour period.

In Gaza, just standing to receive water, or a food package is a death sentence. And yet the world is silent and complicit in this horror.
The alternative for this is buying food for crazy, expensive prices nobody can bear alone. Keep in mind, there is no income in Gaza.
Youssef ( @yosefgaza122 ) requires urgent donations. Him and his family are human too. His wife Hanan, and children Lana, Aboud and Adam aren't numbers. They have a story to tell (read here).
But the world is unsympathetic and unkind. The world has blocked their ears and eyes to the pain, suffering and extermination in Gaza.
I am kirsty, I am from England, I met Youssef through volunteer work with Ebon… Kirsty Watson needs your support for Youssef and his family
They have only raised 11% of their goal, hardly enough to sustain the prices Youssef describes;
"Dear friend, we are living in a state of high prices in Gaza. Your donation is very important and necessary for my family. Every generous donation will save us from famine. Prices are exorbitant. Prices of basic commodities in Gaza today, Saturday, July 19 1 kg of flour: 200 shekels (£60) 1 kg of sugar: 400 shekels (£120) 1 kg of pasta: 100 shekels (£30) 1 kg of lentils: 80 shekels (£26) 1 kg of rice: 150 shekels (£45) 1 kg of tomatoes and eggplant: 90 shekels (£24) 1 kg of potatoes: 100 shekels (£30)."
The donations they are currently receiving are not enough to cover these costs. Youssef is vetted, (#591) on the @/gazavetters list.
The more shares, the more donations, the more we are helping aid get food a family in need. The more we are feeding three innocent children - be the reason they can eat.

Israel is opening a concentration camp in Rafah if you didn't already know.
Gaza's population will be forced into a small area of land on the southern tip of the Gaza Strip, and be removed from their homeland. This is ethnic cleansing and a war crime. According to an Israeli newspaper, anyone outside the strip will be labelled a 'Hamas terrorist' which somehow provides "legal justification for their elimination."
They call people moving from their land voluntary, but the people of Gaza are under so many coercive measures that no departure from the strip can be seen in legal terms as consensual.
People are being displaced all over the place, there is really no distinction between the 'safe zones' and the 'danger zones' - people are also being moved south because of a starvation and a lack of food.
The only aid hub (which massacres civillians, and has almost daily mass casualty incidents) in Central Gaza has been shut down on July 9th without prior notice. Now the only aid hubs are in Rafah, and area under military evacuation orders. People in Central or North Gaza have no other ways of accessing food, besides buying it for prices beyond the means of most.
"We hope Trump will pressure Netanyahu, God willing, it happens. For a week now, they've been saying today, tomorrow, Tuesday, Thursday, as if the talk about truce and the ceasefire isn't serious." - man in Gaza says.
"It's certain. Trump wants to win the Nobel Peace Prize. And for that, he needs a truce here and in other places. So he might put serious pressure on Netanyahu. Trump has served Netanyahu in other areas." - Another man in Gaza says.
"This is unnatural. This is impossible. We're not fish to be moved from one place to another. This is not possible." He follows.
"God forbid, we won't leave Gaza. Where would we go? Our homes have been destroyed. Where are we supposed to go? We accepted tents. But where do we go after that? To Rafah? We didn't go to Rafah in the first place. I stayed in the North." - a woman from Gaza.
James Elder, UNICEF global spokesperson talks about it in an interview;
"I was stunned to see how much worse it had got. I didn't think, you know, I would see a population put under that much more stress. Somehow we've gone from that level of a population, you know, a grave risk of starvation, children are starving - to water deprivation. Forced water deprivation. This is purely political, this is not logistical. You know, a child is being killed in Gaza every single hour since the horrors of October 7th. So I go in hospitals and I see that every single day."
When asked about famine, he says, "No. But I don't think it matters to Palestinians. If there is a famine that's too late. Famine means mass deaths. Starvation which is you know, a layer before is happening. And starvation means that a child's body, you know its immune system is collapsing. There's already cognitive decline which becomes irreversible in children. So children's bodies aren't waiting for some technical definition to occur. And that's what I think is so harrowing there."
When asked about Israel's claims that they are working with international organisations to get aid through, he says, "Firstly, you know we need international journalists on the ground. Secondly I don't from my own time - two decades as a humanitarian at what point you know, UNICEF or the voice of UN workers didn't isn't utterly impartial. And we know numerically that around 50 trucks of aid are allowed in. That's 10% of what is needed. That's 1% if you allow for the blockade beforehand. So, you know and Israel won't deny that."
When asked about the starving people being shot at the GHF 'aid' points, he says; "I found it so harrowing, I met a little boy who, I mean this little guy - he's a 13 year old boy, Abed Al-Rakman, he was given money by his parents, their only money, to go and buy bread. He goes out into the street and he saw large numbers of people moving to one of these sites. They are militarised sites. He went, there was firing. He ran, he didn't - he left without a box. He left without any food aid at all. There was a tank shell fired. When I met this little guy he had shrapnel in his stomach. He had shrapnel in his pancreas. His mum wanted a video for social media because they had a medical evacuation form. He sat up, he help onto my arm in immense pain. This was two in the afternoon. He'd had 5mls of painkillers earlier that morning because there's a grave lack of painkillers for children. His father was in tears because this little boy was saying "I just wanted to get some food for my family." And on the final day that I left Gaza, again in this two week period, he died of his injuries. Everyone hospital bedroom you're in has got three or four children with the wounds of war. And they're all utterly grotesque."
He goes on to talk about 11 year old girls having their legs amputated and being paralysed from the waste down. And that's only one room, and one day that we was bearing witness to.
When asked about a peace deal, he says; "I have to go with everyday people on the ground who are so desperate, who litterally would say to me, "We hope, but hope is not a strategy." Who saw their hope blown up a dozen times in 2024."
Read. Watch. Don't look away from what's happening in Gaza.
And without further or do, please donate to some people who reached out to me on tiktok.
Naseem, (@drnaseem59 on tiktok) is 24 years old, he never got to finish his education, and can no longer volunteer at the hospital due to it being destroyed. Please help him provide for his family. 47% of the goal has been raised, their goal of 10k is very achievable.
Amir, (@helpmyameer on tiktok) needs out help to restore basic dignity to his family and hopefully evacuate Gaza. Through this linktree, you can donate via PayPal or the gofundme, but also through USD, GBP, and EUR - there is pretty much no excuse not to donate, most options are available.
Sign a petition to pressure Irish government to take more action on the situation in Gaza? And demand actions be taken to open a humanitarian corridor?
Every time, without fail, Israel comes up with a new plan to exterminate Palestinians under the guise of something else, something 'humanitarian'.
Israel's defiination of the word humanitarian is merciless slaughter and extermination. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation forces people into Rafah (an area under evacuation orders) to fight for food. The only hub in Central Gaza was closed (without prior notice) on the 9th of July.
The hubs open for about an hour each morning, and the aid is limited. Children, elderly, people with disabilities ect.. are far less likely to receive anything at all.
And the other option is spending the equivalent of hundreds of dollars on flour and bread - when people have no income. Innocent civilians are being shot at while lying down (footage here) and US contractors are shooting people (footage here). But why are people forced to put their lives on the line? Because they are starving, and pretty much have no other option than to die trying to get food in this dystopian hellhole.
And now, they are building a 'humanitarian' city in Rafah, this is a concentration camp. They are concentrating Gaza's population into a tiny place, one that they cannot leave - after security screening - and according to an Israeli newspaper, anyone outside the camp will be labelled a "Hamas terrorist" providing legal justification for their "elimination". Absolutely sickening. Satellite imagery shows that preparations are already underway.
And yet, Benjamin Netanyahu still claims the aim of all this is targeting Hamas, absolutely disgusting, abhorrent. He demands that Hamas lay down their weapons in order for there to be a ceasefire.
For my petition "Demand the Irish government do what they can to help open a humanitarian corridor in Gaza" - which asks for the Irish government to address and discuss this, call for the dismantlement of the GHF and take action to open a humanitarian corridor in Gaza.
I now have decided to expand the initiative, to get the government to condemn and take action against this concentration camp being established also, please sign the petition, there are 450+ signatures as there is !!
Israel's impunity and corruption is shocking, and allowing the killing of innocent civilians - help Abdallah and his family 🍉
Israel's corruption is incomprehensible. Even in the ICC Court.
We all wonder how Israel has the impunity to commit a genocidal ethnic cleansing campaign in Gaza, and exterminate the population as much as they wish, while the international community does nothing.
But here is a clear example of Israel getting away with pretty much anything.
"They will destroy you and they will destroy the court" that was a message delivered to the ICC prosecutor Karim Khan over drinks at a hotel in the Hague back in May. He has having drinks with a British-Israeli ICC lawyer Nicholas Kaufman.
Kaufman was warning Khan that if he didn't drop the arrest warrants against Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and and then Defense Minister Yoav Gallant - that it would cost Karim Khan, and it would lead to the destruction of the International Criminal Court itself.
Then just weeks later, Khan was forced to to take a leave of absence from his position, over explosive accusations of sexual misconduct, leaked to the media.
Please share this, this is important to highlight the corruption and impunity Israel acts with.
The humiliation and degrading conditions Israel inflicts on Gaza is like we can never imagine. While most of us are privledged to not have to die trying to find food, the people of Gaza don't have that luxury. Just the other day, 20 people (including children) were trampled and suffocated trying to get food.
And the world just watches and watches through a screen as this happens to people. It is the responsibility of those who are privileged to help the oppressed.
So please, follow @abdallahmousa0 to support Abdallah, from Gaza.
Living through the horrors of genocide, he is reaching out to a world that ignores Gaza and is trying to ask for our help - which is humiliating enough. Please read his story in his words here. Uplift the voices of those in need.
He wishes to continue his studies in medicine, but that opportunity was stolen from him. He wants to escape the suffering and evacuate Gaza, however he was only raised 17% of his goal and the last donation was 4 days ago.
I am from the U.S. and am organizing this campaign of my friend Abdallah Mousa.… M V needs your support for Help Abdallah Mousa and His Fami
Or, you can support his Ko-fi, 85% of his $1000 goal has been raised. Again, the last donation was 4 days ago.
He is vetted, line 315 on this list - he was also vetted by 90-ghost.
Your donation lights a dark path, please be that light right now.
Israel's impunity is still killing and endangering children. Help Youssef, Hanan and their children 🍉

Israel has complete impunity to kill civillians, even children. The media and the international communities are complicit in this.
Please, it is the responsibility of us who are privledged to help families in need, to help them survive.
Could you imagine having your childhood in Gaza? Where you have no nutrients, and going out to get food is a death sentence?
Youssef and Hanan ( @yosefgaza122 / @hanangazas-blog ) have three beautiful children, Lana, Aboud and Adam. They have no source of income, no way for their children to have a safe and secure environment that they deserve. Please read their story in their words here.
Why ignore them? If the bombs don't kill them, hunger certainly will. Their fundraiser is weak, and even a simple loaf of bread of bag of flour costs hundreds.
They have been vetted, (#591) on the @/gazavetters list.
I am kirsty, I am from England, I met Youssef through volunteer work with Ebon… Kirsty Watson needs your support for Youssef and his family
It is so, extremely difficult to explain the sheer humiliation and degrading conditions the people of Gaza are forced to live through each day. No words can describe it.
Its already humiliating enough living in a tent, not having proper food, healthcare or nutrition, not having any saftey or security, and being at constant risk of disease, and a concentration camp even being opened in Rafah, and people being shot trying to get aid.
It is also humiliating to be forced to depend on a fundraiser as your income was destroyed. And people who are privledged and only watch behind a screen, have the absolute nerve to ignore them.
If you ignore Gazans asking for help, who do you think you are? You are no better than them. It dosent take to long to donate, or share a fundraiser. Accusing campaigns of being scams is a form of murder in my eyes.
There people have been through scenarios I can only think of, cannot even fathom. Please, they deserve the absolute world and more;
As of extremely urgently, Ahmed and his son Samir need $300 per day. Samir was shot in the abdomen, and needs surgery and treatment he cannot recieve in Gaza. The money will cover treatment and travel costs, and food / other basic dignities.
Slow donations put Samir and Ahmed's lives at risk. Donate here, please follow @samirahmed125 to support them.
Monis's father has cancer, and it has destroyed his body. There is not the necessary tools to treat him, nor to the family have the means available.
They use PayPal due to difficulties with gofund.me, but see on his account ( @save-my-father ) that he is vetted.
Ahmed's father needs an urgent liver resection, along with daily dialysis treatments and oxygen to keep him alive. The treatment is far too much for Ahmed to bear alone. Ahmed also risks his door being amputated after he was severely injured while trying to get food. He needs surgery to reconnect the tendons in his leg.
A small donation can be very significant in saving his father's life. Donate here, and follow @mazen-fmaily to support him.
Sameer needs urgent donations for his aunt, he has been upset as he has not been achieving the goal. His aunt has most her son, and her and her husband need a tent, need food, and some basic dignities to help them out. Sameer's grandmother also needs help due to health problems and malnutrition.
Not alot has been raised, so please keep the support and funds flowing, follow @sameergaza to support him.
Youssef and his wife Hanan have three young children in the midst of the genocide, they can hardly find any food. They are malnourished, and if the constant bombs don't kill them, the hunger certainly will. Donate, help the afford food for their innocent and helpless children.
Donations are slow for this fundraiser, and this is especially important as children are involved. Please, support @yosefgaza122 and have basic human empathy guys.
Note: I usually make individual posts for fundraisers, but couldn't due to time and personal issues right now, sorry.
Pleas, follow @sameergaza to support him and for updates on his situation.
Israel is planning to build a concentration camp on the ruins of Rafah. They want to concentrate Gaza's population into the southern tip of the Gaza Strip, and there they will prepare for deportation outside the strip.
They call this 'voluntary' but people in Gaza are under so many coercive measures (such as forcing people to move south just to get some food) that no departure from the strip can be seen in legal terms as consensual.
Once people enter this place, they won't be allowed to leave back into Gaza, and anyone outside the camp will be labelled a "Hamas terrorist" which provides "legal justification for their elimination," according to an Israeli newspaper. Satellite imagery shows that preparations for this camp being built are already underway. They know they can get away with anything.
Currently in Gaza, no place is safe. After living through genocide for two years, people are still tragically dying.
Sameer's aunt just lost her son, she has nothing. And she needs money for basic dignities to help her right now.
"Hello friends, this is the last time I write to you regarding this post, today is the last day to collect the remaining amount, what has been collected so far is 606 out of 2000 dollars. In the last 11 days. The remaining amount is 1400 dollars. Unfortunately, the remaining amount cannot be collected during the day. Unfortunately, my aunt's fate is very close to collapse, so we only need to collect half of the goal. We need to collect $400 urgently for today only. You can read the latest update here my friend and you will understand everything. Please, if I cannot raise $400 within 24 hours, my aunt and her husband will be homeless and perish."
Those are words from Sameer, they need to collect $400. This is not alot, and if we work together to share and donate we can reach this. They have already suffered so much, please come together to help, your support will light a dark path, don't let Sameer's aunt suffer any more than she already has.
Hello guys, this fundraiser was created with the help of my friend Adam.
Our goal is to help th… Adam M needs your support for Help Sami
On Wednesday the 16th of July, Isreal told hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to go to an 'aid' hub in Khan Younis.
They closed to iron gates, making it so thousands of people could not exit, they then sprayed pepper gas and opened fire on people who responded to their aid call. People were killed via suffocation, gunfire and a stampede. Including children. 21 people were killed.
It was designed deliberately to close Palestinians in and suffocate them - yet still some people deny that a holocaust is happening in Gaza.
(Source: The Electronic Intifada)
These are the horrific, calculated massacres inflicted on Palestinians in Gaza every single day, while the world is distracted and watches on.
People are being trampled, suffocated and shot because they are starving and in desperate need of food - while the privledged people in safe homes behind a screen get on this app and complain about Palestinians asking for help in their inbox.
Don't ignore anyone reaching out and asking you for help, their situation is difficult beyond comprehension.
Could you imagine being subjected to the worst humanitarian imaginable for 21 months? Living in tents - exposed to the elements, to infections, sewerage and bugs - with no sanitation.
Could you imagine having to travel hours for food, or planning your whole day around a visit to the bathroom?
Could you imagine facing starvation, and having hardly one 'meal' per day, and that's if you are lucky?
Asmaa ( @asmaa-family9 ) has experienced this, and needs our help and support to get through some of the horrors of living in Gaza, we can help her provide some basic dignities, such as health care.
"I am Asmaa Shaqliya from Gaza. We are a family of 10. We have spent the entire war together, from one displacement to another. We have been displaced seven or more times since the beginning of the war. We are extremely exhausted. We cannot afford any of the necessities of life. Our home has been reduced to rubble. Everything around us has been destroyed. We have been forced to live in schools and shelters. We cannot find a source of income. Our situation is extremely difficult. I married my cousin five months ago, and he is in the same situation as us, or even worse. We miraculously survived the bombing and destruction in Khan Younis. We went to the Mawasi area. I live in dilapidated tents. I am pregnant. I suffer from malnutrition and severe vitamin deficiency
I need treatment. We have no money, and the water is polluted. We can barely find it. The extent of our suffering is indescribable. In the midst of this war, there is no work or anything to earn a living. The situation is extremely difficult. We cannot afford to live, and I cannot buy food or medicine. My situation is extremely difficult. We are still being massively displaced. We left without clothes or anything. That's why I created this link to help me survive. I hope you can help me. My daughter who will be born into this life."
Malnutrition and illness is a deadly combination. Starvation eats away at the body, imagine adding sickness on top of that?
I am Asmaa Shaqliya from Gaza. We are a family of 10 people. We have spent the entire war together, from one displacement to another. We hav
As I write this, only $60 has been raised. No progress from yesterday.
Let's get this campaign up and running - together - we can light at dark path, and brighten a dim looking future for Asmaa and her family.
Asmaa has been vetted, (#031) by @bilal-sala7 - donating is simple.
You can also follow @asmaa-family9 to support her further, or perhaps for updates on her situation.
