This is a story of Rana's Akeela family just read the story and don't skip it.
In the heart of Gaza, amidst the chaos of conflict on Tilal al-Hawa Street, our family's journey of displacement began. Our humble home, where generations of memories were woven into its walls—laughter, tears, and dreams—is now a place overshadowed by fear and uncertainty.
As aggression escalated, the once familiar sound of bombs became relentless, shaking the ground beneath our feet and shattering the peace we cherished. Day by day, we clung together, finding strength in our unity amid the turmoil.
With each passing moment, the danger grew, and we faced an impossible decision: to stay and risk our lives, or to flee in search of safety. With heavy hearts, we chose to leave behind everything we held dear, carrying only the essentials as we embarked on a perilous journey through streets strewn with rubble and constant danger.
Now, stripped of our home and the security it provided, we find ourselves in the darkest days of our lives, lacking shelter, stability, and the basic necessities to survive. The reality of our situation is harsh, and we appeal to your kindness and generosity to help us escape the conflict zone, where hope for a decent living feels beyond reach.
Your support would mean the world to us, providing a chance to rebuild our lives away from the conflict's grip and to find a safe haven where we can begin anew. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to a future where we can once again know peace and stability.
Hence, I humbly appeal to you to help us leave the Gaza Strip. So that we can have a decent living.

In the heart of Gaz… Rana Akeela needs your support for Help
my friend mohammed haboub needs to reach kr190,000 SEK ($18,345 USD) in 3 days order to evacuate his sister farah, who is in critical condition after being injured in the al-tabieen school massacre. as of september 9, kr157,577 ($15,215) has been raised - ~$3,000 USD to go.
people were kind enough to make large donations today totalling ~3,000 SEK, or around $300 USD, but before that donations stalled out entirely for around 15 hours.
i don't know what there is i can say, it feels impossible to grab people's attention for one minute much less convince them to donate. this campaign is verified. both mohammed and farah were excellent software engineering students before the war, and they deserve the chance to continue their studies. but first they need our help to stay alive, and i am begging you to help.
if you can spare anything, even if it's just $5, please donate. each donation will add up as long as many people donate, but you can't assume someone else will give in your place.
REMEMBER THE CONVERSION RATE: $5 USD ≈ 52 SEK, $10 USD ≈ 103 SEK, please don't donate less than you normally would because you were confused by conversions.
The current war in Gaza poses a great threat to the lives and future of my family of 4. Our house wa… Hala Mf needs your support for Help us

Brazilian here! Brazil didn't Ban twitter. Here's what happened:
Brazilian justice subpoena'd Twitter as a company for the information of 7 accounts of people who are under investigation for being involved with the unconstitutional riot of January 7, 2022, led by far right figures who refused to accept the election results after known military criminal Jair Bolsonaro was not reelected. Rather than comply, Elon decided to close Twitter offices in Brazil, as he believes the due process is an infrigement on freedom of speech, for some reason. Because it is illegal under Brazilian law for any business to operate in Brazil without a local legal representative, the Supreme Court demanded the company appoint one in order to continue operating in Brazilian territory. Elon refused. Therefore, as per Brazilian Law, Twitter is no longer permitted to operate in national territory. This can be reversed once Twitter appoints a legal representative of Twitter in Brazil.
This is not a political act of censorship onto Brazilian people. It is a consequence of Elon Musk's failure to comply with Brazilian Law. In short: Brazil didn't ban Twitter, Twitter left Brazil.
holy shit its so much worse. i thought it was a content moderation issue. like “hey you have nazis on you site that not allowed here” and musk said piss off. i didnt know there were specific people actually under investigation for crime.
"I am Youssef, an 18-year-old young man, and my dreams and hopes vanished in an instant. My family’s house in Khan Yunis was destroyed, and I found myself and my family living in a displacement camp in Deir al-Balah, under the scorching sun, inside a tent swaying in the wind. I wake up every morning to the sounds of waves crashing on the shore, but they no longer mean anything to me—they only remind me of the freedom we lost and the life we once had..."
Hello everyone! As of writing this, Youssef is at $3,877 out of his EXTREMELY ACHIEVABLE $15,000 goal. He has only gotten eight don@tions in the past day. Youssef is asking for $15,000 to support himself and his family, mainly for medicine, shelter, and food, which are hellishly scarce as a manifestation of Israel's genocide. He is only 18 and he is responsible for his family's SURVIVAL. Please take the time to read Youssef's own words on his GFM page, as well as on his tumblr account, @yousefjehad3 . Read them, stare at them, process them. Let them truly sink in. Then, go to his fundr@iser and DON@TE. Every single coin you can spare counts, because everyone's small contributions will snowball into a massive one. None of these fundr@isers reached their goal because of one loaded don0r. It was always a group effort.
And, whether or not you're able to d0nate - SHARE, with your family, your friends, your groupchats, your tumblr followers, so that someone who can will have the chance to see it! If you are on Tumblr, you are able to reblog.
Don't ever think your contributions are useless. They provide material help and are expressions of care during impossibly dire times. Palestinians quantifiably cannot afford your apathy.
Youssef's GFM is vetted. He is shown on line 255 on the Vetted Gaza Evacuation Fundr@iser List by @/el-shab-hussein and @/nabulsi.

(btw, I've heard that it's not a good idea to tag posts like this with terms such as correctly-spelled 'don@tions,' which is why I'm spelling things as such. I encourage you to refrain from tagging your reblogs with these terms just in case..)
