🚨Israeli occupation forces raided areas of Gaza City, Khan Younis and Jabalia tonight..
They moved the Yellow Line forward, squeezing 2.4 million Gazans into a more narrow strip.
In clear violation of the ceasefire, last week, Netanyahu’s aided declared the Israeli occupation forces would expand their occupation up to 70% of Gaza’s area..

The Sameer Project needs you. We have raised 45% of the amount needed to finish our desalination plant. It will provide thousands of fresh water daily for free!

Urgent help needed, give at least $5 now: https://t.co/qFBh5BTOyO

Gaza Media Office:

The worsening humanitarian situation requires urgent international intervention to ensure the delivery of basic necessities without obstacles.

We call on the mediators and sponsors of the ceasefire agreement to intensify efforts to implement humanitarian commitments and alleviate the suffering of civilians.

People in Gaza are so desperate for water during the summer heat that many have no choice but to drink salty, brackish, or contaminated water. Parents know it can make their children sick, but what alternative do they have when there is no clean water available? We urge you to support: https://t.co/jw67Ah9X72

Doctors are seeing the consequences every day. Kidney problems. Dehydration. Gastrointestinal illnesses.

This is why The Sameer Project's desalination plant is so important.

We are trying to prevent a catastrophe. Every day this plant remains unfinished is another day families are forced to choose between thirst and unsafe water.

The land has been secured. The well is ready. Construction is underway. We are only $50,000 away from making the plant fully operational and creating a new source of clean, potable water for Gaza.

What if every person reading this gave just $5? We could finish this project and begin producing the water that hundreds of thousands of people desperately need to survive. You could made a near immediate impact.

Help us complete this desalination plant. Help us turn unsafe water into safe water. Help us give Gaza a chance to drink, cook, wash, and live with dignity.

As-salamu alaykum. I’m Wissam. Alhamdulillah I’m about to get married and start a new life.
I’m not asking for a wedding or celebration. I’m asking for help so I can start life with dignity.

After the price hikes in Gaza, rent + deposit, basic furniture for the house, and food for the first 3 months are now beyond what I can manage on my own.

If you’re reading this, please share or help with whatever you can. Your donation isn’t just financial help — it’s a chance for us to start our life right. JazakAllahu khayr

Israel is deliberately targeting densely crowded areas filled with displaced people in Gaza. It strikes markets and intersections so that the largest possible number of civilians are killed

The actions of the devils grow more cruel with each passing day

We are living through the hardest days of the war

[The Sameer Project @sameerproject]

We are at great risk of having to decrease our water deliveries. This can’t happen, this will result in the pain and suffering of thousands of people in gaza. https://t.co/6l9JFjXgdv

As donations go down, we have not been able to finish our desalinization plant that will create new water. We have not been able to buy enough water from current plants to meet the overwhelming need.

We should be talking about INCREASING water available now, not DECREASING access. Back on May 29 Translating Falasteen (@translatingpal) x The Sameer Project provided 292,000 liters in the North.

Give generously to our Food and Water Campaign.

For more than two and a half years, people in Gaza have been searching for water every single day. But the problem is not only access to water. The problem is that there simply is not enough clean water being produced.

That is why The Sameer Project is building a desalination plant. Urgent support needed: https://t.co/jw67Ah9X72

This project is not about replacing our current water distributions. It is about creating MORE water. More clean water. More potable water. More water that can be delivered to families who otherwise have none. When operational, this plant will help increase the amount of safe water available to hundreds of thousands of people in northern Gaza.

The land is paid for. The well is in place. The infrastructure is being built. We have come so far, but we still need $50,000 to complete the project and make it fully operational.

If everyone reading this gave just $5, we could finish this plant and begin producing the additional water that Gaza desperately needs this summer.

Please help us complete this project. Every donation brings us closer to creating a new source of life for Gaza. Donate to our Rebuild Gaza Campaign link to do your part: https://t.co/jw67Ah9X72

The World Central Kitchen announced yesterday the complete suspension of its services in the city of Khan Younis and terminated the contracts of more than 150 cooks.

Every short period, it seems to announce a new suspension or the end of part of its operations, as if stability in providing aid no longer exists at all. The meals they provided were the only semi stable source of food for hundreds of thousands of families. Now, services have been halted by nearly 90% across Gaza City.

Today, while distributing water, we passed by one of the food kitchens that used to distribute meals. There was nothing left except a large pot of plain white rice, with no additions no sauce, no vegetables, not even a pinch of salt. I saw hundreds of people men, women, children, and elderly literally fighting over this small amount of rice. They pushed each other, stretched out their hands in desperation, their eyes hollow, and their faces pale.

I saw the anguish in their eyes. I saw the sadness weighing down every step. The world does not fully understand the scale of the tragedy here. Every time an aid organization stops or reduces its services, another part of life in Gaza dies.

My family and I used to benefit from these meals that were being provided, but for many months now we have not received a single meal. I say this not only as an individual case, but as a reflection of a reality that now includes thousands of families who have lost this essential source of food.

I swear to you that what we are living through cannot be described in words. People are not just hungry they are broken. They need more aid, not less. What they have endured is enough; the death that follows them every day is enough.

[APAN @APAN4Palestine]

A UN inquiry found that Palestinian children are deliberately targeted and killed in Gaza.

The evidence is overwhelming.

Yet Australia continues to refuse meaningful sanctions or accountability measures.

No more excuses. No more impunity.

Sanction Israel. Support BDS.

"I have three questions today for Israeli people through this press conference. I want to speak to them directly," said Sidoti.

🔴What kind of people are your soldiers who would allow a 14 year old child to bleed to death over a 45 minute period?

🔴What kind of people are your military leaders that would inculcate a culture that soldiers feel free to do this, acting with total impunity?

🔴What kind of people are your leaders? When they give orders, they make statements that encourage this kind of conduct, not merely permit it, but encourage it?

[Tamer Nahed @Tamer_Alnoaizy]

Don’t forget that PayPal, Western Union, MoneyGram, Binance, Wise, Payoneer, Venmo, Stripe, Revolut have contributed to a financial blockade against us in Gaza after October 7.

Our accounts were suddenly closed without any warning or explanation as if we never existed. This left tens of thousands of freelancers without any source of income overnight. Their salaries stopped.

So did their small hopes of feeding their children or buying medicine for a sick family member. Many were forced to rely on intermediaries who take half the payment or more.

Others spend long nights wondering how they will pay rent for homes that may no longer even be standing. From inside Gaza even trying to open a new account leads to an immediate ban as if our digital presence itself is a crime.

We are treated like a contagious virus that must be isolated not as human beings living through war bombardment and hunger. The last remaining means we had to survive has been taken from us.

[Dr Rhonda Garad Difficult by Design @RhondaGarad]

This is shocking. @MonashUni @MonashHealth much explain their decision to partner with a genocidal regime. How will Palestinians, Lebanese, Arabs be treated in these health centres? Will Monash Health refuse treat to these groups?

[Tamer Nahed @Tamer_Alnoaizy]

Honestly, I don’t know how to describe what I lived through today. Even though I have been living in Gaza and documenting what is happening since the beginning of the war, what I witnessed today was one of the most shocking and painful scenes of my entire life.

A group of families living in a very remote camp, almost directly beside the Israeli sand berms, contacted us. They told us they had not received water for a long time. At first, we hesitated because reaching the area with a water truck meant entering an extremely dangerous zone. In the end, we decided to try.

Throughout the journey, I saw destruction and rubble everywhere, but the scene that awaited us near the camp was unlike anything else. Directly in front of us were the sand berms and Israeli cranes, surrounded by a landscape of devastation where little remained except tents and ruins.

When the water truck was still about a kilometer away, people began shouting and running toward it. Women, children, and elderly people carried empty water containers and ran with all the strength they had, terrified that the water would run out before their turn came.

The moment the truck stopped, large numbers of people emerged from among the rubble and damaged tents. They were not looking for food, shelter, or anything else. They were looking for water. Just water.

This time we distributed 6,000 liters of clean water, more than we had distributed before, but even that was not enough. Many people remained waiting, and some left without receiving enough water for their families.

As we distributed the water and documented what was happening, fear never left us for a single moment. Yet what I felt in the face of such immense suffering was greater than fear itself.

Today I witnessed a level of thirst I never imagined I would see. I saw mothers running after a water truck, and children clutching empty containers as if they were holding on to their last hope.

I thought I had already seen everything during this war, but what I witnessed today made me realize that the humanitarian catastrophe is far greater than what the world sees on television screens. This is not simply a shortage of services or difficult living conditions. It is a daily struggle for the most basic necessities of survival.

We are facing a real humanitarian disaster that grows worse with each passing day, while thousands of families wake up every morning searching for one thing only: water.

@ellensandell People not directly connected don't understand the difference between public housing, community housing and the disingenuously named 'affordable' housing.

[Norwegian Refugee Council @NRC_Norway]

With temperatures hitting 34.5C in Gaza, Israel’s destruction of homes and restrictions on aid have trapped displaced families in dangerously hot tents and makeshift shelters.

The solutions are there, and aid agencies are ready to act.

Israel must allow shelter supplies in now.
