I refuse to give into despair, but some days it is hard. The overt hatred that the powers that be have for those who don’t have all the ticks in the right boxes is heartbreaking. Trump is telling all and sundry that at 12 o’clock on Saturday all hell will break loose as Hamas is delaying the return of the hostages and putting the whole ceasefire in jeopardy. What is not mentioned is that there has been no ceasefire for the Palestinians with over 100 Palestinians murdered in Gaza since the ‘ceasefire began’ and the Gazafication of the West Bank happening with barely a peep from Western Media.
The world doesn’t care that as part of the ‘ceasefire’ 200,000 tents were promised, (only 20,000 delivered), 60,000 mobile housing units were promised (none delivered), 50 fuel trucks a day were promised (only 15 fuel trucks a day delivered with restrictions.). The world doesn’t care. It doesn’t care that Trump just wants to turn Gaza into his own little Middle Eastern Riviera.
Unfortunately, the donations to Oday’s GoFundMe have been incredibly slow with no donations over the last 10 days or so. Oday’s beloved family is unable to work as there is no work in Gaza and with the attacks on UNRWA and the lack of aid getting in as part of the ‘ceasefire” agreements the situation is beyond desperate.
At 21, Oday is the sole provider for his beloved family in Gaza and needs our help.
If you can help at all, no donation too small, it would make such a difference to people who are in dire need, and it would send a message of kindness.
To help Oday and his family the best way is to donate directly to their fundraising accounts:
Oday’s GoFundMe Account which supports his whole family and is their only means of support:
Oday’s sister Ameera and his nephew Amir
You can donate to me at the shop.
