Israel's defence minister has announced its military will soon "vigorously" expand its offensive throughout most of Gaza.
Israel Katz also said the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) had completed the takeover of a "security zone" in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, separating the cities of Rafah and Khan Younis.
Israel's military also issued evacuation orders for Khan Younis and its surrounding areas, saying it was preparing to carry out strikes in response to the launch of projectiles from Gaza, which Hamas has claimed responsibility for.
Israel resumed its offensive against Hamas on 18 March following the collapse of a two-month ceasefire.
Since then, it has seized large areas of Gaza, displacing hundreds of thousands of Gazans once more.

Where do we go from here?
I'm running on empty, no money, no strength, no will to keep pretending I’m okay.
Everything feels heavy, like I'm trapped in a nightmare I can't wake up from.
When does it end?
I just want to open my eyes and find peace… even just for a moment.

Notes:
some or most of these are the same ones from my previous pinned post.
the owner of Amani and Eman's campaign has stopped donations
@lailashaqoura
According to Ahmed Shaqquora, the organizer of the campaign, Laila is a young talented artist who planned to be a dentist and a collection artist before the genocide started. Laila's family at the time of the campaign consisted of Bassam, his wife, and their five children (Laila and Baara were among the mentioned children).
As of June 3rd, Laila and her pregnant mother had fled to Khan Younis where they continue to suffer from horrible living conditions. She started the campaign with the goal of saving her mother from the grave danger that could ultimately kill them. Their campaigns have been verified by nabulsi, fallahifag, el-shab-hussein, ibtisams, and sayruq.

@tahanibaby
Tahani was an assistant professor at an university who studied Chemistry and Digital Marketing before she lost it once the genocide started.
As of July (and perhaps August), Tahani's family have been living in the prison of fear and despair from the constant reminders of death. From constant street killings to a siege that likely left many casualties to non-stop stomach pains from hunger to the relentless heat that burns them every day. Their mental state is degrading as I write this post.

@mohammedshehabnew1
Muhammed Sehab is a father of two sons who created a campaign to support his sick parents and to allow his family to flee Gaza from the onslaught of murder throughout the war.
However, due to the lack of donations they fear that they may die before they can escape as the bombing has killed some of their family members, loved ones, and friends. They have endured inhumane conditions, various forms of oppression, disease, pollution, lack of security and medical treatment.
They have been repeatedly displaced from various shelters, tents, and "safe zones" around nine times, which is around the number of times that many families have been displaced.

@siraj2024
Siraj is a father who built his family home through ten tireless years of effort that stretched for hours that broke his wallet (huge debt), and yet he also made it with the love for his family.
But it was all destroyed when the IDF unleashed their vicious bombing attacks throughout Gaza, which engulfed Siraj's family home in flames. After the traumatic experience, they had to scramble six times into various tents that barely comforted them, let alone provide safety. His children has lost their chance to enjoy their childhoods as they have no choice but to collect water over lengthy journeys and continuously clean the tents that they reside in.
Not only that, but the family has endured constant threats and evacuation orders day and night, leaving them exhausted.
As of today, Siraj had to trek around 3 kilometers (almost 2 miles) just to receive an internet signal to relay a message that gave me with a twinge of guilt. He remarks on the suffering that the families in Gaza constantly endure where many died and the stark contrast with the families living outside of Gaza, who spend quality time in comfort among themselves. He mentions a recent massacre of over a hundred people in a shelter at the Al-Tabeen School.
He continues to write as much he can with whatever internet connection he is given.
The ceasefire agreement was reached and joy is floating among the Palestinian people But when we go to our homes, we will not find these homes destroyed.
hi everyone!! id like to bring your attention to this group of queer refugees located in a camp in Gorom, South Sudan.
i came in contact with Goret, one of the lesbians from the camp, and she told me about how terrible their situation at the moment is.
if short, they lack funds for meals, poor medication/shelter conditions/beddings.
they also face physical threats due to homophobia and some of the members already have been severely injured because of the attacks.
their campaign is getting barely any traction, so id love if you guys could share, donate, and talk about it. lets help Goret and her fellow camp members to raise funds for survival! even small donations of $5 will mean a lot!
they're currently at $5 out of $4000 goal!
Goret's blog where you can see more photos of their current situation - @goret97

Help future Dr Darine and her family evacuate Gaza💔🥲
Hello everyone,
I'm Enase Zagoot, I'm creating this fundraiser to help my cousin Darine and her family, this talented little girl who always dreamed about being a doctor and help others in a SAFE environment. Thank you...
I leave you with her words ...
I'm 20 years old and currently live in Gaza. I was in my 3rd year of medical college in AlAzhar University in Gaza before the war on Gaza started on Oct 2023 . Me and my family of seven lost everything we own, our house , cars and money . Our dreams were all shattered and destroyed. The situation here is unbearable beinde imagination, no clean water , barely any food available, death and destruction everywhere.
Through these tough times I still find the time to volunteer and help kids in UNRWA refuge camps and shelters in Rafah City who need medical assistance.
We are trying to stay strong and positive in the face of this extremely hard and challenging day to day life here in Gaza . With your help and generic donation, I will be able to save my future and my family's. Thank you and God bless you .

Can you please help me?
I hope you'll let me tell you a little bit about my home🇵🇸, Gaza🍉. It's a place where we're living through some very challenging times💔🥹. We're under attack from bombs, explosives, and warplanes, and we've had to endure many nights of sleeplessness. It's a difficult situation💔, but we're trying to stay positive🖤. This war has really taken a toll on us. It's destroyed our bodies, our lives, and our souls. It has been so sad to see our homes destroyed, our belongings taken from us, and our beautiful places ruined. It has also changed our situation for the worse. We were living a pretty good life, you know? Peaceful, loving, and full of life. But then, we found ourselves in a really tough spot. Hunger, fear, and terror have become our new normal. My kids and I, along with my extended family, are struggling to make ends meet. We don't have the basic necessities of life, and our living situation is pretty rough. We're in these old, falling-apart tents. It's so hard to know what to do when winter comes. We'll be soaked in the rain and wind, and I'll be at a loss as to how to keep my family safe, from the bombing and from the winter.🥹
I'm really hoping you can help me and my family to live through this awful war.💔

tumblr marking palestinian fundraisers as explicit content... it's just another attempt by staff to silence and harm people living under a genocide.
like palestinians have had their entire lives disrupted and can never ever go back to the old 'normal'. they're still being killed while the privileged argue whether or not what they're going through is a genocide.
to try to hurt a person living in an active genocide is beyond inhumane. there's no way to justify it.
i request everyone to please continue helping palestinians. kindly consider donating to alaa, a mother of two young children. help her afford necessities in this very difficult time.
