🚨🚨We are screaming at the top of our lungs. We are sounding the alarm. We need to get back to work🚨🚨 https://t.co/HVDgjRJJ2B
Just yesterday, three young men were killed in a fight over drinking water. People are so deprived of the most basic necessity of life, that they are now dying trying to access it.
The situation in Gaza is desperate, and it is quickly deteriorating.
People need water. They need food. They need the basic essentials required to stay alive. And The Sameer Project needs to be able to respond.
But we do not have consistent funding to operate at the capacity Gaza demands. And yet people are waiting, they need our assistance.
We need monthly donors.
Consistency allows us to plan. Gaza needs stability. And in a place where almost everything has been made uncertain, your monthly donation allows us to show up not just today, but tomorrow.
Please sign up to become a monthly donor today: $5, $10, $25, $50, $100 - whatever you can commit to consistently. And then send this to everyone you know. Ask your friends. Ask your family. Ask your coworkers. Ask your community to sign up with you.
We are sounding the alarm because this is critical now. Monthly giving means daily survival. Help us get back to work.
Scan and become a monthly donor to our Food and Water Campaign.

Children in Gaza are hot. They sweat through the one outfit they own. They sleep in tents that trap the summer heat. They spend hours every day waiting in line with jerry cans instead of playing with friends. Support now: https://t.co/jw67Ah9X72
Then, for just a few moments, the water arrives.
Watch what happens 🥹🥹
The children laugh. They splash each other. They stand under the stream from a bucket feeling cool, clean water run over them.
Our water trucks are not only about drinking water. This water is used to cook meals. To wash dishes. To do laundry. To clean wounds. To bathe children. To restore a little dignity after another exhausting day.
Help The Sameer Project keep these trucks on the road - and help us complete our desalination plant so even more families can access the clean, safe water they need to survive.

Israeli authorities and security forces deliberately targeted Palestinian children, resulting in genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes in Gaza, and war crimes in the occupied West Bank, an independent UN inquiry said https://t.co/61poVhRzmR
While Europe still debates whether to end its Association Agreement with Israel, as if there is much to debate, Israel continues to happily commit war crimes in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon.
This was South Lebanon today.
First, Israel bombed a father and his daughter. Then, when the medical team arrived, they bombed again. A double tap. A war crime.
Designed to maximize civilian casualties. That is, terrorism.
#Israel must immediately release @gbsumudflotilla activists Thiago Ávila & Saif Abu Keshek, arrested in int'l waters: UN experts. “The apparent ease with which Israel carried out these actions raises alarm about the possible complicity of European govts."

La responsabilidad pública también implica la obligación moral de no mirar hacia otro lado.
Es un honor otorgar la Orden del Mérito Civil a una voz que sostiene la conciencia del mundo: @FranceskAlbs, Relatora Especial de la ONU en el territorio palestino ocupado.
Extremist is the death and destruction that Benjamin Netanyahu government brings on a daily basis.
Extremist is them introducing the death penalty for Palestinians.
Extremist is this apartheid, genocidal Israeli Government that our Government shamefully supports.
Last night, Israeli forces intercepted and boarded a humanitarian aid flotilla bound for Gaza in international waters off the coast of Greece — unlawfully detaining more than 175 people, including several New Yorkers.
My team has been in direct contact with State and Federal partners as we work to confirm the whereabouts and conditions of these New Yorkers.
This is a brazen violation of international law. Those detained must be released.
The Twitter accounts of vassal state representatives should have a specific check mark attached to their accounts to avoid anyone accidentally taking their tweets seriously.
By putting the EU-Israel trade deal before human life, the EU puts profit before people. Italy and Germany continue to block the suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement.
But change is vital. One million people in Europe, 75 NGOs, 400 diplomats and officials, Belgium, Ireland, Slovenia and Spain are calling for the suspension of the EU-Israel trade agreement.
Sign our petition: https://t.co/FFkyDMUSOF
Demand @giorgiameloni and @bundeskanzler show integrity and stop greenlighting Israel’s genocide in Gaza, and unlawful occupation of the Occupied Palestinian Territory and apartheid over all Palestinians.
Humanity must win.
🇪🇺 Pour obtenir la suspension de l’accord d’association UE–Israël, les 27 États membres de l’Union européenne devaient se prononcer en sa faveur lors de la réunion des ministres des Affaires étrangères. Seuls 7 ont soutenu cette suspension : l’Irlande, Malte, les Pays-Bas, le Portugal, la Slovénie, l’Espagne et la Belgique.
Where to find the words anymore?
What to say when Israel continues to behave like this?
And no condemnation at all from the UK Government. They carry on business as usual as if Israel aren't carrying out genocides in both Gaza and Lebanon.

The Iran–U.S. Ceasefire terms are clear and explicit: the U.S. must choose—ceasefire or continued war via Israel. It cannot have both.
The world sees the massacres in Lebanon. The ball is in the U.S. court, and the world is watching whether it will act on its commitments.
It's now been 3 hours since our supposed "ally" Donald Trump threatened genocide on a country of 93 million people.
We've had absolutely nothing from the UK government.
This doesn't come in a vacuum either - every day the US & Israel have been murdering innocent people.
Hamzah's family lives in a tent after their house was destroyed. They can barely provide.
As the month approaches an end, put a smile on their face and help them navigate the harsh life.

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war. Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace.
I am focused on making sure that every New Yorker is safe. I have been in contact with our Police Commissioner and emergency management officials. We are taking proactive steps, including increasing coordination across agencies and enhancing patrols of sensitive locations out of an abundance of caution.
Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.
