🙏 From The Heart: A Quiet Apology

the EXU squad have my heart and Orym calling Fearne “Fearnie” just gave me so much joy (squeezed in a quick doodle tonight, I haven’t had much time to draw but hopefully I can go wild soon >:))

My friend is surrounded by the army

The IOF has given my friend Abed @mohmad5 and his wife @safa-abed seven hours to leave before bombing starts.

They are crouched in the rubble of their former home waiting to die.

The road costs $1000 per person. I have no hope of getting him this without help. Please do what you can for him.

Vetted #47 (his wife is also vetted)

Help a disabled family get home

With the announcement of a ceasefire and plans to reopen a safe route back to north Gaza, the Al-Habil family are getting ready to go back home!

But the way ahead is still very difficult. Ibtisam's son Mohammed needs an urgent surgery to try to save his leg, and her daughter Nour needs ongoing medical care and a nutritious diet to live with her heart condition. Ibtisam herself is also still trying to treat severe back pain after a herniated disc.

In addition to all of this, the costs to travel back to their home in the north of Gaza are extremely high. Due to having multiple disabled individuals in their party, traveling by foot is impossible. This means they will have to hire a transport, which will cost thousands. The fact that disabled people are being exploited with such exorbitant prices is disappointing, but there is nothing we can do right now.

To meet the family's needs and arrange safe and accessible transportation, we will need about $6000 USD (about $8,619) CAD. We will raise it increments of $1,000 USD or $1,440 CAD.

Without your support, Ibtisam and her family are stranded in central Gaza, with no way to get home. They still have no income, and likely will not for some time. They should not be forced to remain in displacement, living in limbo on the streets of central Gaza, because of disability.

Please help this family get home!!

Current: $51,925 CAD

Goal: $60,544 CAD

Temporary goal: $53,365 CAD

Not that it's anything new, but the "voluntary" in "voluntary migration" really drives home the utter shamelessness of the occupation.

They destroy Gazan homes, hospitals, schools, roads, universities, infrastructure, cut off their water and electricity, then when they have no choice but to escape the hell that was created for them, claim they "voluntarily" chose to leave their land behind and have no right to return.

When Nakba deniers claim that Palestinians "chose" to leave their land, remember this.
