Updates from The Sameer Project team in the last two weeks:
- 13 year old relative of team member hung himself and died, may he rest in peace
- The cousin of a team member was killed by a drone, may he rest in peace
- One of our team members got injured yesterday with shrapnel in his arms and hit his head from a car bombing in Gaza City
- One of our bus drivers got hit with a metal rod on his head today because there was no space in the free bus we provide
When our team member went to the police station to report the bus incident, the station was full of boys from age 11 to 15 years old who were accused of stealing.
Levels of desperation are high and the mental health of Palestinians in Gaza is extremely low from a genocide that surpassed the 2.5 years.
On top of all this, mutual aid groups are closing or significantly decreasing their distributions.
Nothing to say but Hasbi Allah wa Nema Alwakeel (Allah is sufficient for me, and He is the best Disposer of affairs).
people think the US gives $4 billion/year to Israel. The real amount is many multiples of that number. Israel has a massive web of extraction from the American economy that has now reached trillions, not billions. This vile example is just one drop in an ocean of the tricks they use to steal other people's money and resources.
