Girl is crying her 10 year old brother has been arrested by the Zionists in occupied Palestine.
the only place in the world where children are systematically detained
After pausing our services for a few days, The Sameer Project team received many messages regarding our free transport service. Many Palestinians in Gaza relied on them to move because transport is very expensive. Help here: https://t.co/1j2S3RoAgU
Mobility is empowering and allows families from the North to go to Gaza City and get their needs. This cements their steadfastness and desire to stay in the North. Aid is resistance and this initiative is critical.
Each bus service costs maximum $350 per day and we were running nine different buses. The Sameer Project is currently talking with local partners to get subsidized or free fuel to reduce costs further and make your donation provide MORE support.
Help us reactivate this service by subscribing to our monthly donations for our General Fund: https://t.co/1j2S3RoAgU

These are the families who know us. These are the families who rely on us. These are the families we are letting down. This mother who NEEDS US to help feed her children, because there is no one else to assist. https://t.co/6l9JFjWInX
Our shutdown is not a choice. It is dictated by donations. If the funding is not there, we cannot bring food to underserved camps where families have come to rely on The Sameer Project for survival.
These are not numbers on a spreadsheet. These are the faces affected by our pause. Families who knew that when our team arrived, food was coming. Families who counted on us to help them make it through another day.
On August 4, just days before our closure, The Sameer Project distributed 522 rice and chicken breast meals to families in Al-Ghussein Camp in the Deir al Balah the total cost after 11% banking commission was $1,291.
Now, that distribution has stopped.
The need did not disappear. The families did not stop being hungry. The donations disappeared.
Help us return to them. Help us restart our food distributions. Donate to our Food and Water link.

These kids were having some fun with our videographers last week as they waited in line for water at our trucks. https://t.co/6l9JFjWInX
But this week these same children will be looking for our trucks and be unable to find them.
Since The Sameer Project paused operations, we have cut back on our water distributions significantly. Only serving areas closest to the yellow-line that have no backup, no other organization visits them, they cannot endure without our deliveries.
At our peak we were providing HALF A MILLION LITERS daily. You gave for this, you allowed us to provide this life sustaining necessity. Help us get back to this amount to aid in survival.
Give to our Food and Water Campaign link in our bio.

As if life in Gaza - between displacement, deprivation, hunger, and constant fear - is not already unbearable, families are now contending with another consequence of these horrific conditions: RATS.
https://t.co/1j2S3RoAgU
Rubble everywhere. Open sewage. Garbage piling up. No sanitation. Makeshift tents and school shelters that offer almost no protection.
Insects and rodents have multiplied at horrifying levels, making their way into tents and shelters and eating through bags of flour, vegetables, and whatever little food families have managed to secure for survival.
Life in Gaza right now is unimaginably cruel. These conditions are the result of devastation and deprivation caused and maintained by the occupation - inflicting suffering that is both physical and psychological.
And at the very moment Palestinians need MORE support, donations have fallen so drastically that organizations like ours are being forced to stop lifesaving work.
The Sameer Project must return to the communities that rely on us. Please donate to our General Fund. Help us get back to work.

Fatima lives in our Sawarha Camp. She came to us fully paralyzed, but through consistent care and rehabilitation, she has made tremendous progress - she can now move her arms and sit up on her own. https://t.co/dT6xhwzZFU
But Fatima spends most of her days inside her tent, suffering from the extreme heat. She is asking for something so simple: a fan.
For bedridden and injured patients, there is no escaping the heat. Their tents trap it like ovens. They cannot simply get up and find somewhere cooler. The heat worsens wounds, makes rest and recovery more difficult, and takes a serious mental and emotional toll on patients already enduring so much.
We need to purchase 6 fans for bedridden patients and expand our electrical grid in Sawarha Camp to safely power them. The entire project costs just $1,300.
Please help us reach this small goal quickly. Fatima and the other patients shouldn’t have to spend another day trapped in unbearable heat while trying to heal.
Donate to The Sameer Project’s Refaat Alareer Camp link (which support all our camps) and help us get this done!

Acid attack victims rarely get justice in this country.
Sonali Mukherjee's case still haunts me. 23 years later, she's still waiting for justice, while her attackers got bail within a month and went on to live normal married lives. She is still living with the trauma.
🚨 We urgently need $50 to buy food.
Is there anyone willing to volunteer generously to help? My family needs you now.
Donate now. Please help us! 🙏😔👇🏻

nobody wants to address the elephant in the room so FINE i’ll do it:
being underweight is revered within cultures steeped in pedophilia and women are under intense pressure to look like children.
