Can you imagine that I haven't had a drop of water since yesterday?

Today, in the intense heat, I walked more than 3 km to find water but couldn't.

Unfortunately, we don't have the most basic rights in life.

Donate to Support Mahmoud's Family in Their Struggle, organized by Mahmoud Ziad

I am Mahmoud, I am 24 years old, but in the last 7 months, I have become like … Mahmoud Ziad needs your support for Support Mahmoud's Family

This video I filmed for my children while they were playing in one of the amusement parks in Gaza. I was looking at them and I was happy because they were happy, as if I had everything when I saw my children playing and laughing. But when the war happened, I almost felt helpless because I was unable to provide them with safety That's when our house was bombed and we lost many of my family members. I, my children, and the rest of the family miraculously survived. Then I was struck by a feeling of fear and helplessness. where I go ? Where can I find a safe place for me and my children?

I run from one place to another and there is hardly any safe place So as not to be too long for you, words are too small to describe this feeling as you see your children living in a bitter reality where there are no necessities for a normal life.

Please share my story so I can reach my goal raising €30,000

"I cant draw" then do it bad who gives a fuck.....

there is something horrifically grim to it, but illustrations for gaza and palestinians tend to catch more mass attention that actual photos of people. this made me feel incredibly helpless for a long while, seeing both how people would rather look at a neat drawing of red black green and white than look a human in the eyes, and how online platforms would rather push a viral drawing while suppressing those begging for help at the same time.

a way to cope with this feeling has been taking advantage of it to directly guide people to helping palestinians.

if art gets better traction, then there’s an incredible amount of good that can be done by creating art that immediately links to fundraisers. creating art of the many images of those who are asking for help.

within hours of posting my drawing, there has been jumps in the thousands for bashar from gaza’s fundraiser. it’s a small effort in the grand scheme of things. it’s not a fix it. but it’s something good. please take care of each other and do what you can. i think this could help a lot of people if a lot of people did it.

here is bashar. i’ve drawn him, spoken to him, and known him now for a few months. any shares help, any art helps. draw who you see, draw what you see. thanks all

We're in this together!!

T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land was a Gloomy Prophecy about Gaza?!

Millions of people are preparing to celebrate the festive Adha Eid soon, while Gaza is drowning in death, depression, despair, and pain.

Thinking about my family in Gaza desperately trying to escape death on a daily basis and the magnitude of destruction inflicted on beautiful Gaza, the melancholic whispering of T. S. Eliot's famous lines from his masterpiece The Waste Land echo in my head and shatter my soul. They go:

"Unreal city I had not thought death had undone so many"

What could be more hellish than living in constant fear for your life? Why should having food and water be a daily struggle? How could the world be desensitized to this extent? How did my beautiful Gaza turn into a Wasteland on the watch of the world as a whole?!

I am desperately trying to relocate my family to Egypt temporarily, hopefully, until the war is over. Your help saves lives.
