(if you have any spare cash, please donate to crips for e-sims. connecting gaza is extremely low on e-sims right now.)

While we continue to donate to personal evacuation funds, I think it is crucial to keep in mind that these individuals as well as millions more in Gaza are currently actively in need of basic necessities like food, water, shelter, and medical care. Keeping this in mind, and recognising that there is no way to know when the border crossing with Egypt will reopen, I think our attention should also be on raising funds for organisations currently on the ground who will have the widest impact on the lives of Palestinians who are still enduring the genocide in Gaza.

Below are some verified donation links of organisations that are currently providing assistance for the people in Gaza directly:

Food, water, and shelter

Taawon has launched a campaign to provide support in Gaza through food parcels, shopping vouchers, fresh produce, water bottles and shelter tents.

Watermelon Relief is a project initiated and implemented by a group of activists in Gaza, who work to provide aid to displaced families in Gaza through meals, support and activities.

World Food Programme (WFP) managed to provide assistance to more than 1 million people in Gaza in May by delivering food in shelters, makeshift camps and shops.

Life for Gaza is an initiative through which the Municipality of Gaza aims to provide basic necessities for the people of Gaza such as water projects, waste collection and the reconstruction of roads.

Arab Group for the Protection of Nature (APN) is working to plant farmlands in Gaza through their "Revive Gaza Farmlands" project, through which they had already started planting vegetables, fruits and leafy greens in Gaza.

Purchasing eSIMs is one of the only remaining ways to keep Gazans connected with the outside world, to get their stories out or even enable them to call for help after Israeli strikes.

The Sameer Project is a donation based aid initiative that provides tents, cash aid, diapers and formula for displaced families in Gaza.

Care For Gaza is an organisation that works to provide essential aid such as food packages and cash to deliver to displaced families in Gaza.

Palestine Children's Relief Fund, through their "Gaza Relief and Recovery" campaign, plan to provide essential medical supplies and treatments, as well as food and clean water.

The UNRWA has an Emergency Appeal for Gaza, where donations will provide families in Gaza with lifesaving food and water, winter kits and to repair UNRWA shelters.

Mutual Aid for the People of Gaza is a fundraiser managed by Mona in Gaza, who personally purchases and distributes basic supplies including food parcels to families in Gaza.

Help Gaza Children is another grassroots effort operating on the ground in Gaza to support families with food, water and clothing.

Medical care

Palestinian Red Crescent has been on the ground in Palestine since 1968 as part of the Red Cross & Crescent movement. They have had a continuous presence on the ground in Gaza as the main source of medical care and assistance.

Medical Aid for Palestine (MAP) provides medical supplies and supports healthcare services in Gaza.

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) provide medical and humanitarian aid in Palestine and have had their teams on the ground operating from MSF-supported health facilities across Gaza.

Gaza Wound Care is a medical team in a tent in Nuseirat, providing care to children and supporting pregnant women.

Children Not Numbers is an NGO dedicated to providing medical care for the children in Gaza including delivery of medical aid and medical evacuation for children.

In case you lost it - a link to the eSIM donation guide. Even if you feel sick and powerless, you can at least do this. And even if you really, really can't donate, you can always at least share this and remind others.

🥹Oh beautiful world, please do not neglect to read my story below👇

I am Abdallah from Gaza, a university student. I am 20 years old. Our life before the war was a beautiful and happy life, but the war came and our dreams were destroyed, and life has become very difficult. We get water with difficulty and the food is contaminated. There is little bombing everywhere. Violence is present in all places. You can change my life and help me escape from... The war I will post some of the pictures I took

My university has been completely destroyed. I will put pictures for you now, and my dreams have been destroyed with them. One of my dreams was to become a doctor, but now, unfortunately, it has become very difficult, but now only you can make this dream a reality. You can donate through the links below to escape the war and complete my university

You can donate through the campaign👇

Escape from bombing..💔

Are you just tired of these kinds of videos coming from Gaza Strip that asks you to not skip and to interact with it by donating or boosting it? Well maybe you are right, but guess what? We're also tired of living in this reality for a whole 9 months. So, it's not that much when we say that you are our only hope We literally mean it because you really are..🤍

Watching this video, you can see and may be imagine the horrible life that we live in here. This is how the Israeli military forced us to escape from our houses at the midnight by Ambulances and the Palestinian Red Crescent after violent attacks with heavy missiles and white phosphorus in our region. Flee with nothing but the clothes on our backs to search for safer place for my children who are screaming in fear. 😞

Like what else should we say so we can get your attention? What else are we supposed to lose so we can reach to safety and escape this genocide and this hell? 💔🍉

With profound sorrow, I implore your generosity as we endure this unimaginable ordeal. Your contribution can mean the difference between survival and oblivion for my family, and for this, we are eternally grateful. I believe your donation can offer us the chance to rebuild a new future for our children. Please help us, we need your help, support our campaign. 🙏🙏

not yet vetted:

these families just want to live in safety. any contribution you can make, no matter its size, is one of hope for a brighter future

As a rule of thumb, don't reblog donation posts or people asking for donations unless they've been vetted and reblogged by Palestinian bloggers. We usually go to lengths to verify this shit because we know scammers have been faking to get people to send them money, using the urgency of our genocide as bait.

It's disgusting this is what we're dealing with, but people are losing money because of some truly evil people out there.

Accounts don't just randomly spring up on tumblr without gofundmes while asking for someone to help them create a campaign. Fuck out of here with that shit.

I'm also gonna stop listing the reasons why I recognize something is a scam. It's becoming more and more clear there is 1 person behind this STRING of scams and they're leaving less trails behind but it still reeks of them and their MO.

DO NOT TRUST ANY GOFUNDME OR REQUEST FOR CROWDFUNDING THAT PALESTINIAN BLOGGERS HAVEN'T VERIFIED.

At this point I'm fine receiving a bunch of inbox messages asking me to vet x y z so y'all can avoid this shit. But please have some critical thinking!

People are exploiting our situation.

Reblog this post.

Whether you wanna read the whole thing or not idc.

REBLOG IT.

The person this was about deleted the 4th or 5th scam account they made and are definitely gonna make a new one soon. I don't want anybody falling for this anymore.

OP's masterlist of vetted requests

every little bit helps.

So...I'm trying this out! Decided to take a break from traditional commissions for a while, and this is what my brain came up with.

Only four colors right now, but I plan to expand that eventually!

Check it out here!

Hey guys! Not to self promo again, but 30 min ago I found out I'm gonna have 4 days unpaid the week of Christmas 'cause business is slow! Hooray!!!

I'd like to get ahead of it as much as I can, so please consider checking me out! TF2 class logos are very much something I can do, and anything that already exists (like a one color symbol, or something easily simplified) will not have a design fee. 💕

^They're currently taking donations for Maui mutual aid

celestial busy bodies 🌟

i have these as a sticker sheet in my shop btw!! if you want these lil guys in your house, to gift to a friend, i want YOU to have them!!

I just added the new pins to my Etsy store ! :D

Hey hey everyone please tell

@ clipstudiopaint latest update is horrible. They didn't tell you this with the 2.0 update

You may ask why is that?

TL;TR: “If you don’t have internet well TOO BAD! We won’t let you use CSP. You must have 24/7 internet to use it”

So yeah, give them very vocal feedback of how terrible this is.

Oh…. so it’s already taking affect.

GO GO GO! Give them a COMPLAINT! 

They have a feed back area of their site send them feed back, also explain how this is not a good thing for those who live in an area with limited internet, and all of that. Be the passive agressive office worker your schools wanted you to be when typing out the feed back.

My commissions are OPEN! Updated prices with a sexy new TOS!! 

Updated my prices again! please consider commissioning me!

in the latest cyber-news: the internet archive has lost their case against 4 major publishing houses (verge article). they’re going to appeal, but this is still a bad outcome. the fate of the internet is currently hanging in the balance because 4 multibillionare publishing groups missed out on like $15 of combined revenue during the pandemic because of the archive’s online library service. it’s so fucking stupid.

for those who don’t know what the internet archive is, it’s a virtual library full of media. books, magazines, recordings, visuals, flash games, websites - a lot of these things either don’t exist anymore or cannot be found & bought. heard of the wayback machine? that’s part of the internet archive. it is the most important website to exist, and i don’t say that lightly. if the internet archive goes down, the cultural loss will be immeasurable.

so how can you help?

and finally…
