When survival itself is priced out of reach — our reality in Gaza

17 Upvotes

Hello everyone, my name is Qusay. I’m 22 years old, from Gaza. Since the beginning of this I’ve been displaced with my family, trying to survive one day at a time. I usually don’t post on Reddit—I’ve always been more of a reader and listener—but today something happened that I just can’t carry inside. I need a space to speak from my heart.

Me and my family have been displaced from our home for about four months now. Since then, we’ve been living in my aunt’s apartment in Al Sheikh Radwan, in the west of Gaza. Anyone following the news knows how bad things are here recently, the situation escalates every single day, and more and more families are forced to evacuate, mostly to the south of Gaza.

Yesterday, after sitting with my parents, we decided it was time to prepare ourselves to evacuate again. From our past experience—we’ve already been captured three times—we know it’s only a matter of days before they reach us again.

So I went out to look for a tent. Our old one was left behind with our house, and at this point we don’t even know if that house still exists. I searched the markets, made calls, asked around and finally found three people who had tents for sale.

That’s when the shock hit me. The first asked for $1,000 in cash. The second asked for $1,100. The third also asked for $1,000.

All in cash. For a single tent.

I still can’t process those numbers. We simply can’t afford it. And that’s just the tent without even counting transportation and everything else. In the end, we decided to stay here, no matter what happens.

It breaks me to think that our big homes—our safe places, our memories, our lives—have been reduced to a tiny piece of cloth called a tent. And now even that little tent, we can’t afford.

I don’t want to judge those who asked for this money. In a way, it’s just supply and demand. No tents are being allowed into Gaza, the supply is almost zero, and as the situation escalates the demand only gets higher. But it is all deliberate. It is like even survival is turned into something impossible.

So here we remain, trapped between fear and helplessness. Every day the danger grows closer, and we know what could happen if we stay. But we have no choice. We sit in this apartment, hearing the sounds of war getting nearer, waiting for whatever fate decides for us. It feels like the walls are closing in, and yet we stay because there is nowhere else to go.

These are just words I needed to take off my chest, because the weight of them inside is too heavy. 💔

Adoption Please!

Upvotes

Please, is there any organization beginning to think forward on once Israel's GENOCIDE is stopped. Allowing people to adopt children from Palestine who have lost all family. I know I'm not the only person who would adopt multiple kids of any age, and give them the love, life, and medical care that they deserve to have. I have been looking into this for the longest time, and I cannot find any information regarding this question. Please , someone tell me that this exists that humanity at this point still exists.

I’m struggling to get donations for my GFM for someone in Gaza

Upvotes

I set up a Gofundme so that I can crowdfund for someone in Gaza, but I don’t have a lot of reach on my socials even though I share it often. I’ve literally gotten one donation, I feel like I just end up spamming the same people again and again but can’t get beyond that. Is there anyone here who’d be interested or can help share it? I feel horrible for the person, he’s relying on me to help and I can’t afford to provide for him myself, especially now as they need to evacuate to the south.

can anyone in Palestine receive money through zelle?

6 Upvotes

hi - i’m not sure where to ask this.

i don’t want put it on people going through unspeakable horrors to verify them and i don’t want to ask this somewhere where people are going to look at all fundraisers from Gaza with suspicion. i also want to make sure the money i’m raising is going to people who need it and not people grifting off other people’s horrible experiences.

i was asked recently by someone i’ve been in contact for several months with via whatsapp who’s said they live in Gaza (and has a Palestinian phone number) to take over their brother in law’s chuffed campaign. the person who had initially been running the campaign i guess was no longer able to, and so they were looking for someone else who could take it over, receive the money, and send it to the family. the person who had been doing that contacted me and we switched the account into my name and payment info. i then asked to clarify where i’d be sending the money, and i was asked by the person who had been running the campaign to send through zelle?

i asked about that because as far as i’m aware zelle only works if you’re sending between US-based bank accounts and you can’t send internationally. the person i had been talking to (the former campaign runner) didn’t really acknowledge this or say anything about it, they just gave me the contact info for the brother-in-law and said we could work out the details between us.

i’m waiting on hearing back from the brother in law, but i guess i’m wondering if this is and should be a red flag that this money isn’t actually going to a family in Gaza? Or is there a reason this would make sense? I really don’t want to be like, overly paranoid and suspicious of a family in need of help.

I made an Israel War Crime Tracker

63 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I've been very devastated for the last two years at the horrible destruction of Palestinian life, and didn't know if there is any way for me to spread awareness on a larger scale. I decided to use my website development skills and make a site where all of Israels war crimes against Palestinians (since October 2023) can be seen in one place. All incidents have reputable sources, and are in chronological order. You can submit any incidents that I missed (I know I definitely didn't get them all), and it will stay up to date with the latest information. You can check it out at israelwarcrimetracker.com let me know what you think about it.

Sus fundraiser

Hi. Some IG account started following me and I couldn’t just ignore it. The profile shows photos and videos of the children, as well as a link to a fundraiser. Unfortunately, all I saw was emotional language, with no documents or evidence. What do you think?
