Resources for Gaza/Palestine

On the last day of the strike, and in the days/weeks following the end of the strike, please give your time to these resources and share them with others.

Donation Links:

The PCRF has been able to bring tangible resources to those in Gaza.

World Food Program has also provided food inside the Gaza Strip, and Hind has reported on this a few times.

This PayPal belongs to someone on the ground in Gaza who has been able to distribute aid directly to people in Gaza. You can find more information and proof of these purchases at @helpgazachildren.

UNRWA recently had their funding cut off by the US. They bring aid across Falasteen but you can choose to donate specifically to Gaza on the page I linked.

Gazaesims is a direct way you can donate esims to Gaza to help those inside the Strip stay connected to the rest of the world. If you have any questions about donating esims you can ask me directly!

Anera provides relief items to those in Gaza.

Islamic Relief does work globally. You can choose to donate specifically to their Palestine Emergency Aid program (name might be different depending on if you're on the US site or the global site).

Educational Resources/People to Follow:

DecolonizePalestine is my go-to when giving resources to people who are new to hearing about what's happening in Falasteen. It's a comprehensive, easily navigated archive of the history of Falasteen and the occupation, common myths surrounding the occupation, and resources for learning.

The Palestine Academy has courses on the history of Falasteen, resources on actions to take/education, and resources for Gaza.

IMEU provides news and education about all of Falasteen including Gaza, and provides fact sheets, photo essays, and personal testimonies from Palestinians. You can find their Instagram here.

Hidden Palestine tells the history of Falasteen through photos. They also provide updates about Gaza and other parts of Falasteen on their Instagram.

Subhi is a Palestinian-American who does a lot of work and makes educational videos about Falasteen and Gaza. He also provides many resources and shares news about Gaza/Falasteen in general.

Mohammed El-Kurd is a Palestinian writer who became well-known after defending his family from being evicted from their home for settler theft in Sheikh Jarrah, Jerusalem. He shares news, provides educational resources, and shares his own videos/writing on the topic of Gaza and Falasteen in general.

Salma Shawa (anat.international) is a Palestinian from Gaza who is not currently in Gaza. She shares videos, news, and resources about Gaza.

Noura Erakat is a Palestinian-American lawyer and activist who shares education, news, resources about Gaza and Falasteen.

News/Coverage/Updates:

Bisan is a young journalist on the ground in the south of Gaza

Hind is a journalist and reporter who has mostly been reporting from the middle areas of the Gaza Strip.

Bayan is a journalist and photographer on the ground in Gaza. She gives updates on what's happening around Gaza City.

Motaz is a journalist and photographer who was on the ground in Gaza until a few days ago. He continues to share news and stories from Gaza.

Princekouta is a Canadian citizen who has been unable to escape from the North of Gaza since the beginning of the genocide. He shares updates on what's happening in the North, which has essentially been cut off from the rest of the Gaza Strip. You can donate to his GFM here.

Miriam Barghouti is a journalist and writer in the West Bank. She shares news/updates about the West Bank and Gaza.

Eye.on.palestine shares videos of people on the ground in Gaza, in the West Bank, and in the '48 territories.

Translating_gaza provides English translations of videos from those on the ground in Gaza/new reports from other sources.

Middle East Eye brings news from Gaza and Falasteen. Here is their instagram.

Electronic Intifada has news about Falasteen along with updates about what's happening in Gaza.

Organizations for Palestine:

Palestinian Youth Movement (resources, actions, organizing, protests)

Adalah Justice Project (actions, organizing, protests)

American Muslims for Palestine (education, organizing, advocacy)

USCPR (resources, actions, updated protest lists)

Actions You Can Take:

BDS provides a list of companies to boycott/pressure to divest from Israel.

Canada: Call your MPs.

I feel like I shouldn't have to say this, but in case it wasn't clear: continue to spread awareness about what is happening and Gaza and about Falasteen as often and as loudly as you can. When you see news coming out of Gaza, allow yourself to be moved to action. Share news and resources with others, pressure your governments to call for a ceasefire, make sure your money is not going to a corporation that supports Israeli apartheid, and above all else, do not lose hope. The horrors we are seeing now are not normal, nor will they ever be; use the resources and tools you have at your disposal to take whatever action you can to stop the genocide. And when we do get a ceasefire, we must keep on pushing and doing the work until we achieve a totally liberated Falasteen.

From the river to the sea 🇵🇸

*note: falasteeni friends please feel free to add on any donation links or resources you know of that i may have missed!

For my fellow Aussies, I'd also like to recommend the Australia Palestine Advocacy Network which has petitions, events, and other ways to get involved. I highly recommend subscribing to their email list so you don't miss out on their updates and calls to action.

Sudan, like Ghazzah, is currently dealing with a disastrous hunger level crisis that is about to cross into famine levels, just as Ghazzah's is about to. You guys have really come through for Palestine and Ghazzah when I've asked you to donate, so please do the same for our brothers and sisters in Sudan and Darfur. You are helping more than you can imagine, every single dollar counts.

If you're in Canada you can use this link for the fundraiser by UNHCR.

If you're in the U.S. please use this link.

Please reblog this version of the post. I had another correction this time from an actual Sudanese user. The original like I posted is legitimate it's just for Arab countries to donate.

"While Biden is loud and proud about arming Ukraine, he prefers to arm Israel in secret. The quantity of sales since October 7 is case in point. By spreading his military support for Israel across more than one hundred sales, Biden kept pretty much all of them “under threshold” per the AECA, thereby avoiding congressional and public scrutiny. Biden might have picked up this trick from his predecessor. Donald Trump exploited the same loophole to dodge oversight on arms deals with Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, whose intense and indiscriminate bombing of Yemen at the time had created a dire humanitarian crisis.

Keeping these transfers out of public view makes it easier for Biden to cast himself as Humanitarian of the Year in Gaza while going great lengths to help Israel destroy it. Biden’s series of food airdrops suggests he’s bravely trying to fix a catastrophe beyond his control. Administration officials perpetuate this narrative by insisting the president has no leverage over Israel. “There is a mistaken belief that the United States is able to dictate to other countries’ sovereign decisions,” State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller recently said."

Please remember to send money to Mona's initiative! Thanks to all your previous donations, Mona was able to bake and distribute pizza to people in Rafah! With more donations she can keep providing people with basic necessities! Even 1 dollar goes a long way! P*ypal.

So far she hasn't found anyone to distribute food and supplies to the North, but she's still trying.
