Hello , I'm Rania's husband, and I wanted to share what's happening today.

Rania underwent an emergency C-section today after her health deteriorated , and she's now in the ICU The doctors assured us that her condition is stable, but we're very worried about her and hope she'll improve in the coming days .

Our little girl was transferred to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit because she needs close care, and she may stay there for a week or two ⏳The doctors asked us to provide milk special nutrition and diapers to ensure her safety and comfort.

As for me, I sustained three injuries in the war , and I'm unable to work . The situation has become very difficult . We desperately need your support and help to save my family and our newborn daughter, Nusrat . You have always been a source of support for us , and today more than ever, we need you .

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts , and we wish you a day filled with peace and safety.

My wife Rania is in the ICU after giving birth due to severe malnutrition, and her life is in danger

We need medications that are unavailable and cost $1600 to save her life ❤️

Hello

The situation here is getting worse We thought the war was over, but we're still in shock from what's happening
Meat is only sold in restaurants and at very high prices , and market prices are rising again, encouraging merchants to exploit the situation

We still desperately need your support
Yesterday I was in the hospital , and my due date is in 10 days, God willing ✨
I'm afraid that diapers or baby formula will suddenly disappear or that their prices will increase like they did before.

I need to secure:

A carton of baby formula (8 cans) — enough for two months.

10 packs of diapers — enough for the first three months.

Total cost: $800

Khaled and Maria also need food , and the situation has become very difficult . I am no longer able to care for them because of my pregnancy .

Please stand with us during these difficult times . Thank you so much

a message from my friend abeer that she asked me to share, please let me know if you have any information that could help her 🙏❤️

she also hasn't received donations in a month, any contributions would be greatly appreciated - chuffed.org/project/goab...

Hello my friend, I hope you're doing well
Lately, I've been mentally and emotionally exhausted from constant overthinking and stress. It’s been affecting my relationship with my family, and I feel like I’m reaching a breaking point. Honestly, I can’t continue like this.

I’m a student with just one final year left before graduation, and I truly need a scholarship or an opportunity to leave the country so I can finish my studies in a safe and calm environment where I can focus.

If you know anyone connected to universities or scholarships abroad, please ask them to reach out to me. Any opportunity could truly change my future.

Thank you from the heart for always being there and supporting me

she'll be giving birth very soon. please help if you can 🙏 her and her children deserve to be safe and healthy

I'm about to give birth in Gaza, and we urgently need supplies for our new baby (milk, diapers, clothes) to give her a safe start away from war and hunger.
I'm also being asked to pay the rent for the room, or I'll be evicted. The last day is October 27. I need to provide good food and nutrition for Maria and Khaled. Vegetables and chicken are now available in the markets, and we've been deprived of all types of food for a while.
Please help us provide our family with security and a decent life.

Greetings,

First, I extend my sincere thanks and appreciation for your constant support during the war of extermination and starvation we have been through.
You have always been our support and assistance in the darkest of times. Thanks to you—after God’s grace—we are still alive, and hope still lives within us despite the pain and suffering.

Unfortunately, it appears that the war is about to resume, and that this truce was merely a temporary respite to release the prisoners, before the bombing and destruction resume.

We are currently living in a state of great fear and anxiety. The situation is worsening, prices are rising, and the crossings are closing again. There is no safety here.

Please, as we have always known you, extend a helping hand to us to leave Gaza before it is too late.

The opportunity before us is very limited and may not be repeated, but we need urgent support to secure the required amount of $5,000 per person for travel.
My husband, my daughter Maria, and my son Khaled are here.
In addition, I am about to give birth, and my baby could arrive at any moment.
We lack the most basic necessities of life and urgently need diapers, baby formula, clothes, and some basic newborn supplies to meet her needs in the first days of her life.
We fear that these supplies will suddenly disappear from the market with the escalation of bombing and the closure of crossings, as has happened previously.

My innocent baby has not yet seen the light of day, yet fear surrounds her even before she is born.

All we hope for is to give her a safe and dignified start to life, far from the sounds of war and the bitterness of hunger and fear.

After two years of continuous suffering, we only dream of safety and survival, and of living a simple life of peace.
We believe that humanity is still good, and that you, as you have always been, will support and help us during this difficult period.

May God reward you, record your reward, and place your giving in the balance of your good deeds. May your mercy be a means of saving a family and an innocent child born with the hope of life.

With sincere thanks and appreciation,

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

update from rania, please support her and her family if you can❤️ www.gofundme.com/f/urgent-aid...

More than 700 days of war and genocide have passed, and we in Gaza are still suffering the most difficult tragedies...
A complete evacuation of Gaza City, the bombing of towers, daily massacres, the killing of children and innocents, and a crippling famine.

Some goods have entered the markets, but prices are very high, and we cannot meet all of my family's needs.

My children need food and medicine, and we need your support.

My little daughter Maria needs diapers and milk, and I am pregnant and need healthy food.

We are exhausted... but we still have hope in your humanity.

Please, do not leave us alone.

new update from rania, let's help her cover these expenses and make sure that her family can get chicken🙏❤️ www.gofundme.com/f/urgent-aid...

Hello. Our family.
As you know, we have been experiencing severe shortages and famine for the past six months, during which we have been without access to basic food. Now, chicken is finally available, but the price of a single chicken has reached $200, an amount completely beyond our means.

We are asking you with hearts filled with hope to help us buy some chicken, especially for Khaled and Maria, who have suffered greatly during these months. Providing them with a chicken meal will provide them with a new lease of life amid these harsh conditions.

My daughter Maria is also in dire need of diapers, which cost $100 each, and we are unable to afford them.

We always trust your humanity and your support during these difficult times, and we ask God to reward you abundantly for everything you do.

A picture of a page from Frantz Fanon's 'The Wretched of the Earth'. The bottom right indicates that this is page 235. It reads:
"Now, comrades, now is the time to decide to change sides. We must shake off the great mantle of night which has enveloped us, and reach for the light. The new day which is dawning must find us determined, enlightened and resolute.
We must abandon our dreams and say farewell to our old beliefs and former friendships. Let us not lose time in useless laments or sickening mimicry. Let us leave this Europe which never stops talking of man yet massacres him at every one of its street corners, at every corner of the world.
For centuries Europe has brought the progress of other men to a halt and enslaved them for its own purposes and glory; for centuries it has stifled virtually the whole of humanity in the name of a so-called "spiritual adventure." Look at it now teetering between atomic destruction and spiritual disintegration.
And yet nobody can deny its achievements at home have not been crowned with success.
Europe has taken over leadership of the world with fervor, cynicism, and violence. And look how the shadow of its monuments spreads and multiplies. Every movement Europe makes bursts the boundaries of space and thought. Europe has denied itself not only humility and modesty but also solicitude and tenderness."

A picture of a page from Frantz Fanon's 'The Wretched of the Earth'. It reads:
"This Europe, which never stopped talking of man, which never stopped proclaiming its sole concern was man, we now know the price of suffering humanity has paid for every one of its spiritual victories.
Come, comrades, the European game is finally over, we must look for something else. We can do anything today provided we do not ape Europe, provided we are not obsessed with catching up with Europe.
Europe has gained such a mad and reckless momentum that it has lost control and reason and is heading at dizzying speed towards the brink from which we would be advised to remove ourselves as quickly as possible.
It is all too true, however, that we need a model, schemas and examples. For many of us the European model is the most elating. But we have seen the preceding pages how misleading such an imitation can be. European achievements, European technology and European lifestyles must stop tempting us and leading us astray.
When I look for man in European lifestyles and technology I see a constant denial of man, an avalanche of murders.
Man's condition, his projects and collaboration with others on tasks that strengthen man's totality, are new issues which require genuine inspiration.
Let us decide not to imitate Europe and let us tense our muscles and our brains in a new direction. Let us endeavor to invent a man in full, something which Europe has been incapable of achieving.
Two centuries ago, a former European colony took it into its head to catch up with Europe. It has been so successful that the United States of America has become a monster where the flaws,"

A picture of a page from Frantz Fanon's 'The Wretched of the Earth', the text is a continuation of the previous picture. It reads:
"sickness, and inhumanity of Europe have reached frightening proportions.
Comrades, have we nothing else to do but create a third Europe? The West saw itself on a spiritual adventure. It is in the name of the Spirit, meaning the spirit of Europe, that Europe justified its crimes and legitimized the slavery in which it held four fifths of humanity.
Yes, the European spirit is built on strange foundations. The whole of European thought developed in places that were increasingly arid and increasingly inaccessible. Consequently, it was natural that the chances of encountering man became less and less frequent.
A permanent dialogue with itself, an increasingly obnoxious narcissism inevitably paved the way for a virtual delirium where intellectual thought turns into agony since the reality of man as a living, working, self-made being is replaced by words, an assemblage of words and the tensions generated by their meanings. There were Europeans, however, who urged the European workers to smash this narcissism and break with this denial of reality.
Generally speaking, the European workers did not respond to the call. The fact was that the workers believed they too were part of the prodigious adventure of the European Spirit."

$A picture of a page from Frantz Fanon's 'The Wretched of the Earth'. It reads: "But what matters now is not a question of profitability, not a question of increased productivity, not a question of production rates. No, it is not a question of back to nature. It is the very basic question of not dragging man in directions which mutilate him, of not imposing on his brain tempos that rapidly obliterate and unhinge it. The notion of catching up must not be used as a pretext to brutalize man, to tear him from himself and his inner consciousness, to break him, to kill him. No, we do not want to catch up with anyone. But what we want is to walk in the company of man, every man, night and day, for all times. It is not a question of stringing the caravan out where groups are spaced so far apart they cannot see the one in front, and men who no longer recognize each other, meet less and less and talk to each other less and less. The Third World must start over a new history of man which takes account of not only the occasional prodigious theses maintained by Europe but also its crimes, the most heinous of which have been committed at the very heart of man, the pathological dismembering of his functions and the erosion of his unity, and in the context of the community, the fracture, the stratification and the bloody tensions fed by class, and finally, on the immense scale of humanity, the racial hatred, slavery, exploitation and, above all, the bloodless genocide whereby one and a half billion men have been written off."$

Hello dear family,

After the army entered the area where we were displaced in Deir al-Balah camp, my husband was besieged there, and we were forced to flee again to the Mawasi area in Khan Yunis.

We rented a simple room in Khan Yunis, and we are now in a safer area, thank God for everything.

We thank you very much for your constant assistance and for standing by us during these difficult circumstances.

But today, my family and I are in dire need of you, especially after we were forced to flee without being able to take any of our belongings.

We lost our tent and everything we owned, and we lack the bare necessities of life.

My children, Maria and Khaled, sleep on the floor, and we do not have mattresses or blankets.

We are in dire need of:

Blankets and blankets

Food and flour

Kitchen supplies
Pampers for Maria
We need $3,000 to provide the basic necessities everyone needs.
Your help helps us survive.
Our hope in you is always great.
May God bless you, reward you, and reward you well on our behalf.

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

sharing this with rania's permission: a screenshot of her message to everyone

Hello my family,
Unfortunately, we have to move again, and this is putting a lot of pressure and burden on us. The situation here has become very dangerous, especially since I am three months pregnant and need to provide medication to stabilize the pregnancy.
Khaled is still building his little body, and thank God, he has started to recover from his injury. However, he needs nutrition, exercise, and physical therapy.

My husband was shot in the foot yesterday when he went to the American distribution point. The Israelis opened fire on them, and he was shot in the foot. He needs painkillers and surgery as soon as possible.
We have run out of flour, which costs $500.
We have run out of flour and cannot afford it. We need $1,500 to evacuate from here. Please save our lives.
Maria needs diapers, which cost $100, and milk, which costs $80.

Khaled and Maria are very scared, and I am afraid for my pregnancy and my family. We don't know where we will go; we just want a safe place to protect our children from the bombing and fear.

My children's psychological state is deteriorating, and I'm trying to hold on for them, but fear and anxiety gnaw at my heart at every moment.

Please stand with us, help us overcome this ordeal, and extend a hand of mercy.

Any amount of money could save our lives.

We are asking for nothing but a chance at life, for safety, to complete the remaining days without fear, hunger, and pain.

Save us, for after God, we have no one but you
