Tony Blair for Gaza? Yes, really. After decades of failed Western policy, this is the next chapter: the British Mandate, Bremer’s Green Zone in Iraq—a century of white men thinking they get to decide our fate. Gaza doesn’t need another appointed master. Gaza needs freedom & an end to the genocide.

Around the corner from the beach camp, the team worked tirelessly—cooking hot meals, handing them out to children and families, then quietly packing their belongings.

What will happen to them when we leave? We don’t know. This is our last hour in Gaza City—for now.

Inside Gaza City, our team is moving fast—getting food into the hands of families who would otherwise face empty plates. Your donations are in motion. 2day, 750 food parcels are being distributed, reaching every registered family on our list. Stand with the hands that give & the hands that receive.

Today was a circus of political cross-dressing. 🎭

Act 1: the Israeli PM wagging his finger at 🇪🇬 for not letting Palestinians escape… from the war he’s waging.

Act 2: the Israeli army’s spokesperson scolding a 🇵🇸political party urging people to stay in Gaza City… in the same war they started.

Block by block, street by street, the Israeli army is "quietly" swallowing Gaza City—while treating the world like mushrooms: kept in the dark and fed manure.

The absence of the skilled journalists recently killed is painfully felt in Gaza’s anemic reporting. Genocide rages in the dark, fed by synthetic Western reporters and their endless ‘both sides’ nonsense. That’s the plan.

Our clean water truck is out in neighborhoods, but much of the need still goes unmet. We’ve asked the team to double deliveries to reach displaced families.

So the White House appointed Jared Kushner and Tony Blair to plan Gaza’s future. Amazing—Kushner from Khan Younes, Blair from Beit Hanoun… totally the locals we’ve been waiting for.

As my mother walked past their makeshift tent, his mom brought her son forward — not to ask for anything for herself, but to make sure his plight was seen. He is one of countless children in Gaza who need proper medical care, and real nutrition. She wanted the world to know that he is here.

This is not Berlin in 1945, nor Grozny in 1999, nor Aleppo in 2016 — this is Gaza, 2025. No city has ever been erased with such relentless precision, no people forced to endure such destruction in full view of the world. These are not ruins of the past; this is the ongoing crime of our present.

Today, 500 families in Deir al-Balah and 700 more in the north received 60,000 meals. 🍲💪 Two teams, one goal: real aid on the frontlines of famine. No guns, no chaos—just service. Unlike others, their “aid sites” look like detention centers, not humanitarian operations.

The White House is meeting today on Gaza’s future. No Palestinians invited. In Washington, nothing is settled quite so swiftly as other people’s troubles—provided they aren’t in the room.

When Mom stopped by their makeshift camp, the kids broke into a dance party — laughter, music, and joy in the middle of fear. Deep down, everyone is bracing for the looming invasion of Gaza, but for a moment, the kids made their own light.

The U.S. is hosting a meeting between the U.N. and the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. Palestinians? Not invited. The goal? Get the U.N. to stop calling a killing machine what it is. Next the U.S. government will be brokering a meeting between arsonists and the fire department.

Right now, we’re running 12 community kitchens across Gaza — with seven firing up their stoves on any given day to keep thousands fed. Every day, 10 water trucks. We’ve established a medical point for urgent care, a flexible initiative team ready to meet emerging needs, and even a classroom for kids

At Kabar's Kitchen today, the fire burned bright as trays of fresh pastries were prepared with care — headed straight to Al Shifa Hospital to bring a small taste of comfort where it’s needed most.

We can no longer find food in the market. We’re forced to operate at 50% capacity—not by choice, but because we have nothing left to give.

One of our photographers passed by children in Gaza combing through sand—picking up grains of rice and lentils that had spilled from speeding aid trucks. Desperate for a bite before hunger wins. This is what man-made starvation looks like.

Dr. Mohanned on primary care. Dr. Ibrahim on dental care. These two showed up today doing God’s work—quiet heroes, steady hands, and the reason so many still believe in healing.

I noticed both doctors are visibly underweight. This isn’t by chance. It’s the direct result of Israel’s siege.
