My name is Osama Basil, a web developer from Gaza. Over the past 10 months, I’ve witnessed the devastation of war firsthand. My office, where I devoted myself to my work, was destroyed, along with my source of income and future aspirations.The situation in Gaza grows more difficult each day, with destruction becoming a constant part of our reality. We've lost friends, colleagues, and loved ones, leaving our community deeply scarred.But I refuse to surrender. Despite the displacement and loss, I am committed to rebuilding my career and life. The war took my job, dreams of marriage, and a chance to pursue a master’s degree in programming and web design. After fleeing to Rafah with my family, I’ve been living in a tent for months, grappling with unstable access to electricity

We all know that things are really dire in Gaza and food is super expensive. But exactly how bad are things?
Source: How much does food cost in Gaza? (Al Jazeera)
Basic necessities in Gaza can get up to 300% their usual price. 1 kg of sugar can get up to $60 in Gaza, and other foodstuff like fruit and vegetables can be even more expensive! And prices are only going up! Now can you see why I am so worried about Mahmoud's 17 family members (@mahmoudfamily1) in Gaza? He has 10 children in Gaza right now while his gofundme campaign barely has any donatioins, and has only managed to reach 3% of its target even though he has had it since May!
And it's not just food. Tent supplies and materials are also really expensive. His family had to spend $900 just to make sure the tent can better shield them from the cold and the flooding, but their tent was completely destroyed in a bombing! Now they have no shelter, nothing to protect them from the cold and heavy rain of the coming winter. With food and other necessities so expensive, this is a very huge blow to the family!
They have already lost relatives, including a 1-month-old baby, to the bombing. I worry for the 10 children, they are so young. With basic necessities getting up to 300% their usual price, I really don't want these young children to have to choose between having the medical supplies to treat their wounds, being warm, or having food to eat!
That is equivalent to only 44 kg of sugar in Gaza, and that's before you take into account the 4% cut gofundme takes, and the high international transfer fee, which can get up to 40%! Moreover, 1 kg of food like vegetables and fruits can cost more than $100!

Hello, There’s no place on Earth more difficult to live in than this. It’s the most chaotic region on the planet. Our daily struggle just to get water is exhausting — we fill containers and carry them over long distances Unfortunately, famine has returned, and securing food is harder than anything you can imagine! There’s no infrastructure here, and the streets are filled with sewage, spreading disease, especially among children Despite all this, we’re desperately trying to find a place that is even somewhat livable I can’t return to my job yet to support my family because I need reliable internet and stable electricity, which are both expensive here. I still need your help, and I hope you can reblog this message and donate if you’re able to Thank you 🌹

It is well known now that the people of Gaza in the south part are struggling and experiencing the hunger again due to lack of wheat flour 🌾 , which is necessary to make bread 🥖 🍞
The price of 20 small bread is 20 nis (about 5,5$), and from the black market it is more 10-15$.
Hope this war will end soon, to back to our normal lives
Stop 🛑 the war

Israel Announces Ethnic Cleansing and Permanent Occupation of Gaza
DOn 5 May, Israel's security cabinet unanimously approved a new plan to escalate operations in Gaza, including the "conquest" of the territory and the promotion of the "voluntary migration" of its population into Egypt's Sinai Desert.
Let's call this what it is: the annexation of Gaza and the ethnic cleansing of its citizens-all while we approach ten weeks of Israel blocking food and water to the population.
The approved plan includes several core elements: the military occupation of the Gaza Strip, full territorial control, and the forced displacement of hundreds of thousands of civilians to southern Gaza, nearer to the Rafah border crossing into Sinai.
Ethnic cleansing has never been incidental to Israel's project it has been a core objective from the very start. The creation of the state itself was rooted in this goal, and decades later, its policies remain consistent in advancing it.
This is the collapse of international law. Palestine has laid bare a global system that not only permits genocide-but protects it, funds it, and cloaks it in the language of human rights.
We are so far beyond words. Beyond condemnation. What we are witnessing is indefensible: the greatest crime against humanity in our time.

We are Anas and Ahmad Basil, along with our family of eight, from Gaza. I, Anas, am 18 years old and a high school graduate with a 93% average. My brother Ahmad, 14, is a talented mathematician known as "Doctor of the Future." Despite our big dreams for the future, we are currently struggling to survive amidst the devastating effects of war.
Today, our priority is no longer our dreams 😔— it’s ensuring our family’s survival amidst the harsh living conditions and severe scarcity of resources 💔.
Why This Campaign Matters Now More Than Ever: ⁉️ The ongoing war has stripped us of stability, access to basic necessities like food and water, and the opportunity for education. It has destroyed our livelihoods, taking away our jobs and sources of income, leaving us unable to rebuild or support our loved ones. We now face unimaginable hardships, entirely dependent on donations to meet our needs. With the soaring cost of living and severe shortages of resources, even basic survival has become an overwhelming challenge.
Your support is crucial to help us endure these conditions. This campaign is no longer just about escaping Gaza — it’s about keeping our family alive and healthy until we can find a way out.
Your generosity can make the difference between survival and despair for our family.
Every donation, no matter how small, keeps hope alive for us.
With all our gratitude, Anas & Ahmad

Thank you, @chokulit , for drawing the comics!
Stand with Darine @drdarine and her family in their time of need. Pin this post to your blog and be a part of a heartfelt journey to make a difference. Together, our compassion can create hope.
Israel has taken more members of Darine’s extended family. Are they next? Does it even matter anymore? It feels like nothing does. They just need to know.
Their home, car, and belongings have been destroyed repeatedly, leaving them with nothing but a tent for shelter. They have endured hunger, a severe lack of drinking water, and over 14 months without education no schools, no hope for a future. Now, they live with no money, struggling daily for even the most basic necessities.
Yet, despite these unimaginable hardships, Darine has managed to complete the first semester of her third year in medical school, thanks to your unwavering support. She’s a bit behind, but progress, no matter how small, is still progress. Every step forward counts.
Darine continues to fight for her family, helping them survive while holding herself together. She refuses to give up, no matter how overwhelming the pain. Your support could be the lifeline they so desperately need during this relentless wave of suffering.
Her brother Ahmed created a video that Darine wanted to share with all of us. It’s a collection of memories from their lost lives, and watching it brought tears to our eyes. Perhaps we’re just emotional.
