an update from khartoum aid kitchen, who are doing vital work to support the people of sudan - www.gofundme.com/f/fight-hung...

Dear friends,

We want to begin by once again thanking you from the bottom of our hearts. Your support is what continues to make the work of the Khartoum Aid Kitchen initiative possible.

Thanks to your generosity, we've managed to carry out important rehabilitation work on the Omdurman Teaching Hospital. This has more than doubled its patient capacity during a time when over 80% of Khartoum’s healthcare facilities have ceased operations due to the war.

We’re also proud to share that we've managed to rehabilitate the centre of the Sudanese Association for the Blind, allowing the association to return its evacuated members back to Khartoum.

In May, a devastating cholera outbreak shook the city of Khartoum, with over 8,500 suspected cases reported. Hospitals overflowed and turned away patients for lack of space. Concerningly, IV fluids, which are essential for treatment, became scarce. In response, the Khartoum Aid Kitchen stepped in to supply IV fluid drips, enabling the El Fetihab isolation centre in Omdurman to provide life saving treatment.

Additionally, our voluntary return journeys continue, with the Khartoum Aid Kitchen now running the largest return journey operation in Sudan. We've safely returned displaced families to their homes in Khartoum and Gezira state, offering them a chance to rebuild after long months of displacement.

Every act of kindness, whether by donating or sharing our initiatives work, has made these efforts possible. There’s more work to be done, and your continued support allows us to keep going.

With gratitude,
The Khartoum Aid Kitchen Team

rania and her family are in danger and in urgent need of support, please help if you can🙏 www.gofundme.com/f/urgent-aid...

Urgent Appeal from Gaza

The situation in Gaza is now extremely tragic and difficult.
The bombing is extremely violent, and military jeeps are storming cities and shooting indiscriminately at civilians. Our lives are in constant danger.

In addition, the cost of evacuation is extremely high, making the situation even more complicated:

Transportation vehicle rental: $1,200

Tent cost: $1,500

Plot of land rental: $300

How long will we have to flee and move from one place to another? How long will this war of extermination continue?

These numbers reflect the daily suffering we are experiencing as we search for a safe place for our children.

✋ Save Gaza, save us.
The last call Gaza is being exterminated now

We’ve been waiting for years for any news… but all we get is silence.
And that silence hurts more than prison bars.
Freedom feels incomplete when our loved ones remain without names, without voices, lost in the shadows.

1,700 Palestinian prisoners were released in a long-awaited exchange deal.
A moment of joy for many — but for me, it's a painful reminder.
My cousin wasn’t among them.
His name wasn’t on the list.
We don’t even know if he’s alive or dead.

I don't know exactly what I'm going through during this period Is it post war depression Or a prolonged state of denial of the tragic reality imposed upon us It's as if I'm living in a hazy space between what was and what is, between a memory burdened with images and sounds,

The latest message from Ahmad on his gofundme brought tears to my eyes. I hope Ahmad & Samar can now have the future they planned before 7/10/2023. Please can you share/donate & help them reach their goal?
gofund.me/595755268

The photo is a screenshot of Ahmad’s latest message on this gofundme:

Fatima has posted a new update to Ahmad & Samar: A Future Beyond Gaza's War
Survivor of the Gaza Holocaust 2023 In just a few short hours, we managed to launch our final initiative - the Initiative of Hope Beyond the Rubble. And here, our journey comes to an end. Thank you, from the depths of my heart, to everyone who stood by us through two years of war. And thank you to those who will now give us the chance to start again — a chance to rebuild what the flames once took away, and to live a life that's worth living. Please, make your donations within these few remaining hours — for after that, the curtain will fall, and this dream, this campaign, will come to a close forever. From the ashes, I rise — and with you, the light begins again. 1948 #PS_GAZA

Dear brothers and sisters,
I'm not used to asking for donations.
But the situation is extremely painful.
Children in need of milk, a destroyed home, etc.
A donation of $1 will make a difference toward achieving a dream.
