The sheer scale of the bombardment of the Gaza Strip is staggering. Way back in June 2024, the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, a Geneva-based human rights organsation issued a report that stated that Israel had dropped more than 70,00 tonnes of bombs on the Gaza Strip since October 2023, surpassing the number of bombs dropped on Dresden, Hamburg and London during WWII. God only knows what the figures would reveal now.
This type of bombardment has nothing to do with precision and everything to do with annihilation. Imagine living with these types of bombs every day for over 15 months.
Oday is my friend. At 21, he is the sole provider for his beloved family in Gaza and needs our help. Every day is a struggle for survival for his family. His dream is to help them evacuate as soon as border crossings are opened.
If you can help at all, no donation too small, it would make such a difference to people who are in such dire need.
To help Oday and his family the best way is to donate directly to their fundraising accounts:
You can donate directly to his GoFundMe Account
You can donate directly to Oday’s sister Ameera to support her and her young son, Oday’s nephew Amir.
You can donate to me at the shop. I also have fundraisers instore and online.
My New Year’s wish is simple.
World Peace.
Thank you,
