Good news: I received an updated acceptance letter from Université Marie & Louis Pasteur. The university has extended my start date to December, giving us the time needed to process my visa and arrange my evacuation.
I’m so close to this chance to continue my education and rebuild my life. Please help me reach my goal by sharing and supporting:

Standard leftist defence for failure to support Palestinian crowdfunders is they are too individualised and while there is some (not total) validity to this, they could simply support collective, institutional bravery like @munigaza@sameerproject@Handala_Relief@CatchupGaza etc
“I am sick of this world. I am sick of its hypocrisy and empty slogans. To hell with a world that talks endlessly about human rights while leaving children to drown inside their tents. To hell with everyone who has witnessed this suffering and chosen silence, and to hell with the governments and institutions that have the power to act but continue to turn their backs on us.”
Temporary housing units — the “caravans” — are the only real short-term solution for us to survive the winter.
Yet thousands upon thousands of ready caravans, designated for Gaza, are sitting on the Egyptian side of the border, and the occupation has refused to allow a single one in — not during the ceasefire, and not at any other time.
Tents cannot protect us in winter.
These fabric shelters sit under the sun for months, and by the time winter begins, they are already worn out and falling apart.
So the question remains: where are the sponsors and mediators of this agreement?
Why aren’t they fulfilling their responsibility toward a population that is still living mostly in tents?

Today marks the end of our fifth month at @CatchupGaza. We'll start the sixth next week, with new students joining and the ones before them staying on.
So far, we've provided over 7,000 hours of free electricity, internet, and a quiet place to study for students in Gaza.
Every month, 26 students use the space to attend lectures, finish assignments and projects, and some of them work remotely.
This is a real need for students in Gaza, and it gets very little attention.
We want to keep going and reach more students. If you can, support or share:
