I'm Abdelrahman, 22 years old. My journey has been marked by loss and resilience. When I was 18, my father passed away from COVID-19. Determined to build my own future, I pursued an education in multimedia technology, balancing my studies with work to cover my expenses. I was preparing to establish my home and life.
My mother: the princess whom we strive to make happy and satisfy. ❤️️
However, the war in Gaza, especially in the north, brought devastating tragedy. My home, university, job, and family were all destroyed in the conflict. While my family moved to the south, I was in the north, facing famine and moving from place to place, trying to survive.
Our street used to be lively and full of people, but it is no longer like that.
I have witnessed countless difficult and painful scenes while escaping death multiple times. In northern Gaza, life is reduced to a cycle of fleeing from danger and searching for food amidst the rubble of destroyed homes.
I have survived many times,I was hit by a missile in previously destroyed house
My dream is to travel abroad with my mother and sister to continue my education and develop my practical skills. For the past eight months, I have been unemployed, focusing on self-improvement and hoping for a better future.
Hussam put together 400 packages for the families at the Khan Younis camp he's located in. These packages contain 5 bottles of fresh water, each 5 liters and 9 packages pads, which will help about 400 families!
He also put together 150 packages of clothing containing abaya, underwear, clothes for women praying that covers whole body, blouses, hijabs, and pants.
The past few weeks, I haven't been able to upload as much but Hussam has seriously been hard at work! He purchased a fresh water truck of 4000 liter for the entire camp, which is greatly needed in this extreme heat. They also use water pumps for salty water but they require diesel to operate. Diesel is very scarce and costs about 42 dollars a liter!
Not only this, but Hussam put together an event for the children at the camp! He didn't have the chance to take pictures, but the kids really enjoyed it!
Please keep donating to HelpGazaChildren! This grassroots effort is helping so many people in Gaza when the world has abandoned them!
Donate to our GoFundMe which goes directly to Hussam with NO middleman in between! He also sends money to the North!

Zionism is nazism. How can someone watch KIDS burn and die, yet still defend a terrorist country like Israel? How? How can you be a human at this point? How are you a human? You're not.
I don't even have words to describe my rage for those who support a genocide. Fucking disgraces.
Donating eSims is really easy and helps keep people in Gaza connected to the rest of the world. My referral code for Nomad eSims is WEAT59RQ. If you have a referral code, please share it if you reblog this.
Please help Rawan, Yemna, and their family! They are still far from their goal of kr319,315 SEK (~$30,000) to evacuate from Gaza; they have currently raised kr97,184 SEK / kr319,315. However, with your help we can change that - every dollar counts no matter how little!!! Together, we can all help the Abudaya family!!
🌟 This campaign has been verified by a Palestinian-led collective - follow them @/palestineasdiqa on IG!!

"Noo, I don't have an opinion on what's going on in Palestine."
"I don't like politics so I'm neutral about all of that stuff."
"Don't send me things about the politics of Gaza or Palestine or anything like that, it just makes me really anxious and-"
Those are some real things I've seen people say before. You don't have an opinion on the literal genocide going on in Gaza and Palestine? The lives being taken? The atrocities Israel has done? You're refusing to educate yourself on all of this because it makes you anxious? (Boo hoo) That's disgusting to me. You can't be "neutral" about a literal war??
You're either with Palestine or not. I'm loud and proud about supporting Palestine, and if any of my mutuals, followers, friends or family who don't feel the same, please get away from me and this blog.

PALESTINIAN LITERATURE READING LIST
The Double standards , The ugliness and filth of this world , The vilest human era throughout the universe
Stop please 🛑 ✋🏼
Hello everyone 👋🏻🍉
Hello people , I’m Yossef Ezz Eldeen Abo Steta , I’m 24 years old , I’m from Gaza , me and my family of 12 person evacuated from Gaza to south Gaza Strip during the war .
I want to help my self and my family , so I will tell you my sad story
Before the war we had a great life full of pleasure and blessings , we had a beautiful , warm and big house , but unfortunately our house was damaged due to the ongoing Israeli bombing of the Gaza Strip.
Also I worked as an accountant in a company , but the company stopped its work due to the war , and I remained without a source of income.
I have a bachelor's degree in business administration but there’s no jobs to apply for because of the lack of jobs and the inability to go out at any time.
Also before the war I was about to marry my fiancee , her name is Ruba Khaled Khader , we had planned to have our wedding in February 2024 but because of the war we haven’t gotten married yet and all our dreams of living a happy life have been shattered
Also my fiancée's house was destroyed and burned by the Israeli occupation and all her new wedding clothes were burned and she has nothing left.
My fiancée and I don't see each other very often because she and her family evacuated to a place far from where I live and the transportation is difficult and expensive.
It has been 2 years since I engaged my fiancée and we want to get married but we don’t have a place to live in and we don’t have the means to live.
And my fiancée is studying software engineering at Al-Ahar University and the university started an online education and I have to pay to the university so she can complete her education but I don’t have money or a source of income or a work to pay for her education.
So please, I ask you not to stay away from our urgent appeal. Your support can make a big difference in our lives. Let us unite, and show the world the power of sympathy and solidarity in times of inhumanity. Together, we can rebuild, restore, and formulate a future full of hope and freedom. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your steadfast support in this urgent matter.
