A message from my dear friend Tasneem in Gaza:
"Good morning, my friend. The bombing hasn't stopped in the middle of the Gaza Strip. An entire displaced family has been bombed. I'm worried."

Please give to Tasneem if you can. They rely on our direct donations to survive. ❤️

Protests do build people power, it’s as much about how powerful people feel when they gather that wakes them up to how they can create change beyond that day. That’s the hope.

Please don't turn away from the suffering civilians in Gaza.

Give give to my dear friend Tasneem so she can feed her family. They lost their home and their livelihood.

Nora's Sandwich Bot @sandwichbot.bsky.social · Apr 12

This isn't a sandwich post. But it's a plea for help. I have spoken to Alaa and she speaks movingly about her love for her children. They have had everything taken from them. I would love for her to be able to get to Egypt when the border next opens. chuffed.org/project/1252...

Help me save my family and escape from Gaza to Eygpt

My name is Alaa, and I am a mother of three precious children: Musa, who is 12 years old, and my twin daughters, Ella and Ellen, who are 8 years old. Before October 7th, our lives were filled with hop...

Guys I don’t feel so great and I want to take a nap but this is the best time to share and Yacoub has not raised much today so if possible if you all could share him too?

Molly Shah @mommunism.bsky.social · 1d

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Yacoub. Yacoub was a tailor before the war but he lost his shop and home. He’s trying to return to the North with his large family including Aida, 16, Anas, 14, Suhaib, 12, Batoul, 10, Yahya, 5, Zakaria, 2 and his wife who is pregnant.

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

Yacub’s son Suhaib fell and shattered his teeth chasing after a food truck recently. They need help treating him and also preparing for the new baby

ABC News: "Humanitarian situation 'catastrophic' in Gaza: ICRC"

Gaza is in ruins, the civilians are displaced and hungry.

Like many, my friend Tasneem's house and city was utterly destroyed. She relies on donations to feed her family.

Please give to Tasneem and others. 🙏💕
