Update: North Gaza Aid!

As part of his promise, Hussam sent 20% of your HelpGazaChildren donations ($4000) to Mahmoud AbuSalama for the 5th time now, including the earlier North Gaza Campaign (as location on our notion site) to buy food and necessary products for families still surviving the dire situation in North Gaza. The food package contains, as you see in the picture below: flour, lentils, canned food, formula, diapers, and women pads!

Please continue donating and spreading the word — every penny means so much! Feel free to share our campaign link to other platforms as well!

Donate to our GoFundMe which goes directly to Hussam, who manages camps in Rafah, with NO middleman in between!

And here is the link to help us rebuild our apartment when we back.

The Wall Street Journal reporter goes on to state that he had personally investigated the 40 beheaded babies story by going to Kfar Aza and found it to be untrue.

And then he and his colleague kept silent. They didn't debunk the story, even after Biden lied about seeing the photos.

Anywhere between 33,000 and 50,000 Palestinians have been killed by the IDF since October 7th

‼️‼️

If you're having trouble keeping up with what's going on in Palestine because of US news coverage of university protests, here are some articles you can read and a video you can watch:

While CNN & all the other mainstream media try to paint the university protests as "pro terrorism" (which they're not, they're literally anti-war protests.) Palestinians are being slaughtered by the minute.

Please don't stop speaking about Palestine.

AHEAD OF THE United Nations Security Council action to consider the Palestinian Authority’s application to become a full member of the international body, the United States is lobbying nations to reject such membership, hoping to avoid an overt “veto” by Washington. The lobbying effort, revealed in copies of unclassified State Department cables obtained by The Intercept, is at odds with the Biden administration’s pledge to fully support a two-state solution. In 2012, the U.N. General Assembly passed a resolution granting Palestine the status of a non-member observer state. The diplomatic cables detail pressure being applied to members of the Security Council, including Malta, the rotating president of the council this month. Ecuador in particular is being asked to lobby Malta and other nations, including France, to oppose U.N. recognition. The State Department’s justification is that normalizing relations between Israel and Arab states is the fastest and most effective way to achieve an enduring and productive statehood. While clarifying that President Joe Biden has worked vigorously to support “Palestinian aspirations for statehood” within the context “of a comprehensive peace that would resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict,” a diplomatic cable dated April 12 details U.S. talking points against a U.N. vote for Palestinian statehood. The cable says that Security Council members must be persuaded to reject any proposal for Palestinian statehood — and thereby its recognition as a sovereign nation — before the council’s open debate on the Middle East, scheduled for April 18. “It remains the U.S. view that the most expeditious path toward a political horizon for the Palestinian people is in the context of a normalization agreement between Israel and its neighbors,” the cable reads. “We believe this approach can tangibly advance Palestinian goals in a meaningful and enduring way.” “We therefore urge you not to support any potential Security Council resolution recommending the admission of ‘Palestine’ as a U.N. member state, should such a resolution be presented to the Security Council for a decision in the coming days and weeks.”

This video was taken in a destroyed school in Khanyounis by an Israeli invasion in the day 200 of genocide And still do not know why my people are paying the price for the world's greed for land, wealth, and gas.. And why do world leaders strip humanity from my people and treat human beings who love, dream, work, build, and rejoice as less valuable than Israeli settlers and citizens of any other country? Does a person's humanity disappear when he owns something as precious as our land and then the Zionists demand it?

200 days of believing that the land belongs to its people, and that justice will be achieved in our lifetime or after our death. My message on the 200th day: "We have been subjected to all forms of burning, destruction, torture and terrorism at the hands of mentally ill and Zionist extremists in the Israeli army with American-made weapons, and we have been subjected to disappointment from many Western and even some Arab countries, and we are still subjected to genocide and political manipulation to end the Palestinian cause and erase it from existence and from your minds, and to eliminate The 1948 refugees right to return to their lands. These political tricks are trying to make us die and end in silence and distracting attention from Gaza and what is happening in Palestine, and only you can stop what is happening. You are the horor of the occupation, you are the noise and chaos of their despicable world that they have built for themselves! With your demonstrations, boycotts, and strikes in your universities, streets, homes, and institutions, you are our only hope! Do not normalize genocide and do not normalize occupation."

This is Bisan, from Gaza my beloved Gaza, am still alive and will keep serving my people, my homeland and the humanity until we are free.

Updates and Proof of Purchase

There are a couple new updates that go along with this this proof of purchase update. But first!

With your donations, Hussam managed to put together 500 bags of 25 Kilo flour for refugees in Rafah! This is truly amazing and we couldn't have done it without your help!

Not only that, but he also managed to find 500 bags of dried milk (0.9 kilos each bag).

Other updates:

Paypal is no longer available as a method for donation and we will only be using GoFundMe moving forward. For those who are asking why: as this is a grassroots effort which started primarily on tumblr and expanded to help regions in both the South and North of Gaza, it is not an official organization. Therefore we encountered trouble with paypal.

Please be rest assured that all the funds raised from the Paypal campaign are already withdrawn and will be or has been used to help Gaza. I would not attach my name to something like this unless I'm 100% sure about it. Hussam has been very transparent and organized, constantly providing updates for us.

Thank you again to everyone who donated and put your faith into Hussam! Every single penny goes to helping people in need in the midst of a genocide. Please know that every single donation is returned with a heartfelt prayer for you from Gazans, and I hope you can feel the positive energy from that.
