I won't be posting anything about palestine anymore due to mental issues I've been facing recently (regarding the war, post-trauma from 2014, family I've lost, etc...)
I also wish to not be tagged in any other gofundme's/news about Palestine since it would trigger my PTSD and I wish to be left alone to have some space to cope with my surroundings.
As for the gofundme of my family, it's being managed by my parents and older brother (as it always has been). My parents have chosen for me not to be included for the sake of my mental health. Therefore, I have no control over it. If you have any questions, feel free to contact them, not me. As my parents say: "I'm still a kid, this isn't my responsibility, and it shouldn't really be."
As selfish as it sounds, sometimes it's important to help yourself before helping others. Cause if you can't handle your own problems, you won't be able to handle the ones of others (and you won't be in much use and instead cause more stress for yourself, from what I've learned).
I want to get back to what I used to post on the account (mainly art and other fun stuff) and find my 'will to live' again, a way to cope with everything. Recently, I couldn't draw due to the pressure, and when I did, it wasn't as enjoyable as before. I wanna find that joy again. I'm sorry once more for saying this. I want to help, but I know I do not have much power. But I don't want to give up, neither should you, neither should we all in this matter.
Thank you all for understanding, and I'm sorry for not being in state to help, as much as I do want to.
Sincerely,
Schketbook

On the seventh of October I am teacher Mahmoud Atta. I work as a teacher teaching secondary school students.
On October 7th, I was getting ready to go to school. On October 7th, while I was getting ready to go to school, my life was completely turned upside down. Israel declared war on Gaza. After that, they announced their entry into the roads and cities and forced us to leave the city from Khan Yunis to Rafah
.
We passed through a road called the Road of Death. Tanks were everywhere. Bullets were raining down. We passed through a road called the Road of Death. Tanks were everywhere. Bullets were raining down. If you survived, your brother would not.
We've all seen the end of the world movies on the big screen. We have all seen end of the world movies on cinema screens, but what we saw was real and not imaginary. I wish it was imaginary.
We finally arrived in Rafah Finally we arrived in Rafah, the safe city as it is called, but where to go? The sea is behind us, the weather is freezing, and the borders are closed with Egypt on the other side and Israel on the third and fourth sides. I found myself making a tent out of nylon for myself and my family.
No water, no electricity, no food, no place to go to the bathroom, no life. I wish I had died sooner.
We returned after a long time to our city.After a long time, we returned to our city. The first sight was that a giant monster had entered the city and left it in ruins, so much so that I did not recognize my house or my neighborhood. Oh my God, is this Khan Yunis?
fI searched to find my home, to find my apartment, which contained my memories and my most beautiful days, destroyed. I searched to find my home, to find my apartment, which contained my memories and my most beautiful days, destroyed.
Today I stand before you to search for Today I stand in your hands to search for any help to restore myself again thanks to you.. I am waiting for your help
Hello:
I am Muhammad Shehab from Gaza🍉. I support a family of 6 people. My sick mother and father, my wife Hiyam, and my sons (Zain and Yahya). I have a gofundme campaign that I created to treat my mother and father, protect my family, and get them out of the danger of the war on Gaza🍉. We live in very difficult circumstances Help me we are still very far from the goal. I hope everyone will donate even a little. I am confident that you will stand with me and support me until I achieve my goal and save my family from the danger of war. Share my story. Pin my story to your page. Everything helps. Can you share some of my posts from time to time? Maybe the internet will be cut off in my area. Thank you
Hi! I wanted to know if this gofundme was legit:
https://www.gofundme.com/f/my-family-escape-the-war-in-gaza
I saw it get shared by @wtfaschketbook
Thank you! And apologies if you have already been asked about this gofundme!
I don't have enough information to verify it, but it looks trustworthy to me.
People are withdrawing money because they think a racist cracker has been the Nancy Drew of the century and have saved the gullible people of tumblr from being scammed. Really you all would listen to anyone except for the Palestinians who are on their blogs having to explain themselves while suffering a genocide. A baby may die in Gaza, because this malicious witch hunt ( no I do not have any other words for this I am a dumb person from global south after all) has caused donors to pull out. Muhammad's baby is a newborn! A newborn! But you are welcome to your cracker Nancy drew.
@deathfromabovex2 bonjour wee wooeooe :D
Welcome, guys. I want my message to reach you clearly. I want our picture to reach you in a beautiful way that expresses the beauty of our lives before the seventh of October. How distinguished we were. I always excelled in my studies in a great and great way. I used to give many lectures at my university because of my excellence and continued success. I used to work in... A large company, Jawwal Company, which is considered the largest company in the Gaza Strip. I was always the first supporter of my family. Our life was very joyful. I cannot believe what is happening to us now. We struggle with everything in order to stay alive. The conditions become worse every day, making you not believe what is happening to you in a short period of time. Request The occupation is that we are displaced from Khan Yunis to the displacement areas. We are really tired until we can see a place to put a small tent that can barely accommodate 17 people. Imagine with me, if for one minute, what is happening to me. There is no home, there is no food, there is no electricity, there is no medicine there is nothing. Imagine what is happening to me, just for a minute. However, you have to fight all of this. It is a struggle to live and save your family. You must fight with all your ability. Therefore, my message to you to all the world, wake up and fight for Shaad and for the family of Shahad. Donate, publish, share and support my story. Fight for To stay
‼️ Fight for Shahd for my family🙏

Hi, I know I haven't been active on my socials much, but it's been very hard for recently.
I am a Palestinian who refuged in 2015 after the 2014 massacre at the age of 5.
I haven't seen them ever since 2015. Only contact was through calls and messages, which is now nearly impossible due to the war.
Yes, it's still going right now. It's not recent at all. It's since 1948, nothing new. Living in Gaza was like an open jailhouse due to the occupation, and I am speaking from experience and memories.
2014 was no small conflict. It was an attack by the Israeli against innocent Palestinians. I could go on about my near death experiences, but this post is about my family now.
Knowing that this war is 10 times worse gives me on and on nightmare. I can't believe how inhumane we humans can get.
Houses are ruined, mothers become widows, children become orphans... This needs to stop.
I recently saw tweets about this website called Hamas .com.
It is a site made by Israel to steal your information.
Its just another way that Israel will harm Palestinians by making a fake website to confuse advocates
Donate if you can
I want to thank everyone for their support in this difficult time. We have collected 4820$/20,000$, and we are now seeking to reach 10,000$. We really want you to stand with us during the war We will not forget that you stood by our side at this time. Thank you all 🙏❤️❤️❤️

To preserve our lives, escape Gaza, and flee the war, each person needs $5000. This is the price of our lives 💔. We need all your support, even if it's small. Together, we can make it
Please, we need you to stand with us so we can reach the required amount to help us. You can change our lives by offering your support.

I was fucking 4 in the 2014 massacre, what the fuck did I have to do with a fucking military
Should it still be surprising to see how people could be so inhumane and fucked up?
Wonder what's next people would accuse children of war of
If you, for some reason, still have a subscription to the Atlantic, cancel it
Imagine the horrors.
The Weill Cornell Medicine commencement was held earlier this month where a medical graduate from Gaza used his time on stage to condemn the university and its leadership for their complicity in the genocide on Gaza and implored his fellow graduates to stay true to their oath and stand with the hundreds of healthcare workers who have been killed by the IOF. In response the university have done everything they can to minimise this young graduate from speaking truth to power from his own graduation records by cutting away from him during the ceremony’s livestream and erasing his time on stage in the released footage.
Palestine Updates May 24, 2024
Post by @letstalkpalestine2 on Instagram
A little update of what happened recently:
This GoFundMe related:
Good news: we reached 5 750 euros, meaning this was enough for one person. We all agreed on letting my grandma evacuate first and my brother (owner of the gofundme) went to Egypt for to bring her out.
Bad news: it got rejected not so long after due to the borders closing, giving us the money back.
Good news (not related to my gofundme but my cousin's):
my aunt and her daughters got to evacuate to Egypt. But sadly, my uncle couldn't evacuate with them since he's a man, therefore has to help fight or something (I have no idea why but its something like that)
What will happen next is what I don't know, but I'll try and update as soon as possible. News comes everyday and every second but processing it takes a while, or at least for me.
Keep reblogging this post and other people's posts from Gaza/Congo/etc... and if you can, donate. Even if it is a dollar, it can change another person's life.

as you may know, israel has begun its ground operation in rafah. they dropped leaflets last night ordering people to evacuate, and bombing in east rafah has already begun.
The border is about to become unreachable.
Rafah is trapped.
We have literal hours until no-one, all the GoFundMe's you've scrolled past, all the people desperately begging on TikTok, will be able to escape.
Give now. Give whatever you can.
I am fundraising for the Odeh family, which is only 3k away from meeting its goal.
you will not get another chance.
Hussam managed to put together 150 food packages with feta cheese, halva, biscuits, sugar, salt, yeast, cooking oil, tomato sauce, and canned legumes! He also put together another set of 200 vegetable packages.
Thanks to all your help, Hussam’s able to put together packages like these to feed the people of Gaza in the midst of such a difficult time! There’s a special message in the video to everyone, so please take the time to watch it!
Please continue donating and spreading the word — every penny means so much! Feel free to share our campaign link to other platforms as well!
Donate to our GoFundMe which goes directly to Hussam, who manages camps in Rafah, with NO middleman in between!

[ID: Video of packages of food with the aforementioned items displayed infront of the packages to showcase the contents. There is a 'Tumblr' sign in front the packages and the '#helpgazachildren' tag underneath them. There is a second part to the video where we see plastic bags of veggies. The tumblr sign is infront of these packages as well.]
gazaesims.com is a website dedicated to helping people donate esims for people in gaza. (for the ultimate guide to donating an esim, see http://tinyurl.com/gaza-esims) there are multiple options for where to purchase an esim to donate, for the price i listed you want to use nomad esims. you can get a $3 discount by using someone's referral code from the notes of this post. it also will give the referrer credit to buy more esims! (you can only use a referral code on your first purchase) @/fairuzfan also a tag for esim referral codes here, some of which are nomad. BACKPACKNOMAD is another code to get $3 off your first purchase, it's been working for some people but not others so try out a referral code instead if you can't get it to work. also it took over an hour for the email with my information to come through so don't panic if it doesn't show up right away. (logging back into your nomad account seems to have helped some people get their emails to send!) NOMADCNG is a code for 5% off any middle east region nomad esims from connecting gaza. it can be used on any purchase, not just your first but is generally going to give less off than the first-purchase only codes, so use those first. it can be used in combination with nomad points. (nomad promo codes do not work on plans that are already on sale, unlimited plans, and plans under $5)
weekly tuesdays only code on nomad web, PST timezone! it gives 10% off plans 10gb and above. NOMADTUE
troubleshooting hint 1: if you are trying to pay through paypal, make sure you have pop-ups enabled! otherwise the payment window won't be able to appear.
troubleshooting hint 2: if you are trying to purchase an esim using the provider's app, it may block you from purchasing if your phone does not fit the requirements to install and use their esims. use their website in your browser instead and this problem should go away.
edit as of 4/9/24: nomad (regional middle east), holafly (israel and egypt), simly (palestine and middle east), and airalo (discover) are currently in the highest in demand. here is a purchase guide i made that covers all of the esim platforms, including these three platforms. if it has been more than 3 weeks since you initially sent your esim and your esim has not been activated, you can reforward your original email with the expiration date in the subject line. you can see gothhabiba’s guide for how to tell if your esims have been activated. if your esim has expired without use, you can contact customer service to renew or replace it.
