The #ConnectingGaza campaign supplies E-Sims to people on the ground in Gaza, allowing them to circumvent internet disruption/blackout during the siege and continue connecting with the wider internet. A digital SIM card (called an e-SIMs) works the same as a physical SIM Card, providing data and SMS for a phone number. E-Sims are one of few resources that can be directly accessed without blockage by people on the ground in Gaza.
Artists will be offering art in exchange of the value of the donated e-SIMs. Visit https://cartoonist.coop/esims4gaza to learn more.
I've made several posts for Laila and her family, more details here about their exact circumstances and the artwork offered in return for donations but all I can say is that there truly is no time. I haven't heard from Laila in days and I'm worried sick, I'm very worried for Tala too as her account has been banned. Her mother is pregnant, her aunt has cancer, and everybody in their family, especially the children, are suffering from the effects of famine and trauma. There is no time left for them, we have to do everything we can to help them NOW. These fundraisers have been verified by multiple Palestinian tumblr users. I'm setting some short-term goals this week to help them get to their long-term goals. Donate anything at all you have to spare, use your video game/coffee/whatever money as donations, we all of us in the imperial core have an obligation to those our tax dollars are helping to slaughter. If you have less than a dollar, send it to my p-ypal and c-shapp listed in the link provided and I will send the collected money to the fundraisers. These fundraisers are the lifeline of people hoping to escape Gaza, and their only real chance at survival. Please, do everything you can, donate whatever you can and share this wherever you can in order to help this family escape genocide and receive the medical care they need.

xie lian is crazy in a way that at first he seems chill, but the longer you talk to him the more you realize that this man is mentally unwell
more people need to talk about xie lian being a freak weirdo. he apparently owned hundreds of swords and used all of them at some point. he was like “lol abstinence is so easy idk why everybody else doesn’t use this cultivation method” at the ripe old age of SEVENTEEN. he’ll claim he has erectile dysfunction UNPROMPTED at all advances to him instead of using literally any other excuse. he’s crazy obsessed with fighting and martial arts. he killed a dude because the guy said his martial arts sucked. he tried to give cpr to a dead guy. my gilf <3

There's one charity that I haven't seen shared here personally, and that's Care for Gaza.
They're shared a lot on twitter as a reputable on-the-ground relief source. You can donate to their gofundme to help their efforts here.

i was really hoping the story about the decomposing babies would be revealed to be slightly less horrible than it is but human rights watch just confirmed it which is making me sick
the doctors left five children behind at al-rantisi (also known as al-nasr) hospital because it was being targeted by the IDF. the hrw report says it was targeted by airstrikes—testimony from a nurse who left there says they were forced to leave the babies under shelling and also rounds of live ammunition by the army to evacuate the hospital. there was also testimony that at least one parent of one of the children left behind was shot and left at the entrance of the hospital
this was a testimony from one of a doctors without borders nurse after they were forced to evacuate.
i distinctly remember another written testimony by a doctor stating that they had left the five children behind at the ICU, and that they had informed the israeli army and asked for them to be evacuated but were specifically asking the red cross to intervene. there is also video testimony of a doctor asking the red cross to intervene before the hospital was evacuated.
one doctor explicitly stated that they had rehooked a child to one of the remaining battery-powered machines before leaving.
this was november 10th.
on november 28th, during the ceasefire, families were finally able to go back to north gaza and get into the hospital, only to discover that the five children left behind had been left to die and were found decomposed in their beds.
from AFP:
Gaza health ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra told AFP that Israeli soldiers had blocked access to the intensive care unit at Al-Nasr paediatric facility, and doctors were finally "able to get into the ward on Tuesday night". There, Qudra said, "the occupation (Israeli) forces left five premature babies" who were found "partly decomposed". "The soldiers forbade the families from going near" the newborns before Tuesday, he said.
there's been an outpouring of anger at the red cross, which was the only international entity capable of intervening. instead, the red cross claimed it was not responsible for evacuating the hospital. they have not provided any assistance to thousands of palestinians in north gaza who were asking for help. the red cross released this statement:
However, their statement in Arabic was far worse, translated here:
"Our teams did not make any commitment to participate in these processes" essentially means the red cross (the only entity capable of evacuating a hospital the israeli military had beseiged) had simply abdicated its duties.
for comparison, because of the public outrage at al-shifa where 39 NICU babies were also beseiged by the israeli military, the red cross was involved in transporting the remaining babies to egypt after eight had already died. the red cross is capable of it, they just didn't care.
worth noting that since then israel has left al-shifa after filming some humiliating propaganda videos proving there was no "hamas headquarters" at the hospital and left al-nasr after finding nothing as well. this is not because the idf failed to find hamas, it's because the idf had succeeeded in its primary goal to make gaza unlivable and prevent palestinians from being able to access healthcare. finding hamas was never a real goal, and anyone who repeats this lie is either an idiot or a propagandist.
destroying a hospital and evacuating patients and medical staff is already a war crime. but leaving five children to slowly die alone of suffocation in a hospital bed and then leaving their dead bodies to decompose for over two weeks is unforgivable. this is what occupation does, what israel does. a war crime committed first by soldiers carrying arms, and then completed by international aid organizations that abandon palestinians in their time of need. it is not possible without international complicity allowing israel to continue committing unspeakable horrors against palestinians with impunity.
and today, december 1st, the ceasefire ended and bombing gaza has resumed.
