Please Don't Scroll 🥺🙏

I don't think people truly understand the gravity of Rafah being bombed.

There is nowhere left to go.

The lowest cost is $5,000 USD to flee to Egypt. There has been people paying over $10,000 USD.

That is the only option

Pay or die.

Rafah was the only place in Palestine promised not to be bombed. That promise is broken.

1.5 million people have nowhere to go!

Reminder, if possible, please donate to the PCRF, ANERA, Islamic Relief, Palestine Red Crescent Society, Medical Aid for Palestinians, Defense for Children International - Palestine, Doctors Without Borders, and all other trusted organizations.

Hello dear friends

My name is Ahmed Khalil from the Gaza Strip. I am a member of a family of eight. Our home was destroyed, and we were forcibly displaced from northern Gaza to the south after orders from Israeli forces.💔🙏

With a heavy heart and a feeling of shame, I am sending you this message from under the bombardment and destruction. The relentless bombing never seems to stop, making Gaza an unsafe place to live.🥺🍉

I ask you to stand by my side and help save me and my family. We urgently need your financial support and help in sharing my posts so that I can secure the basic necessities for my family. Additionally, your donations can help us evacuate to a safe place.🙏🙏🍉

Your small donation and sharing will make a difference and have a significant impact. Please don't hesitate to donate and share.🍉🙏

Thank you for hearing my story.

According to Nex Benedict friends he was a trans boy and used he/him pronouns.

Please stop using they/them for Nex in your future posts - this is an act of degendering by Nex’s family.

Let's Help Bashaer and Her Family!

Like many Palestinians, Bashaer (@bshaeromars-blog) comes from a loving family. She is the eldest of six (6) siblings and marries a wonderful nurse named Omar. She is also pregnant with her first child! Things are going well for her.

Until the airstrikes dropped. Bashaer and her family has no choice but to quickly leave their beautiful home, leaving their belongings as well as their memories behind. They end up in Rafah.

One night in December, Omar goes out to collect wood so the the family could make a fire and keep themselves warm. Winters in the desert is as unforgiving as it is in the tundra.

But another set of airstrikes have painted the horizon orange. Omar makes a run for it. He does not make it and passes away. May Allah forgive him and grant him Jannatul Firdaus!

Bashaer is a widow now. She grieves over the love of her life. If you read her blog, you would know how much she adores, admires, loves, and respects him. What makes it more heartbreaking is she has given birth without the help from a doctor or a midwife. Her daughter, Ayla, is born and she will never get the opportunity to meet her father.

Read this again and let every detail sink in. Bashaer is a single mother and a widow. She is also recovering from postpartum. I know we have a soft spot for single mothers. A lot of us have grew up with one. We know how much these mothers have scarified and worked to raise us.

So let's help Baeshar. Please, please, please donate and share. Consider giving as little as $5. It may seem like an insignificant amount, but it makes a significant difference.

You can even match me! I have contributed $5.

Marcelat Sakobi of Democratic Republic of Congo, at the end of the women’s round of 32 boxing match against Uzbekistan's Sitora Turdibekova, made a strong gesture to raise awareness of the ongoing genocide in the DR Congo by placing her hand in front of her mouth and pointing two fingers at her temple.
