My heart stopped. I was scrolling through the news coming into a channel that had originally been created for work, when I saw a colleague posting these photos of what remained of his son after the rubble was cleared. He wrote that ever since his son was killed, all he had wished for was to see him one last time… to look at him one last time, to say goodbye to him as a father should be able to say goodbye to his son. But after an entire year had passed since his son was killed, this was all that reached him… A collection of bones. I cried like I had never cried before. I cried because behind these bones was a father who had waited an entire year, carrying one simple wish in his heart: to see his son and say goodbye to him. How can a human heart bear this? How can a person witness so much death, and then return to their life as though nothing had happened? How do we come out of this life with our minds still intact, carrying all this loss in our memories and all these goodbyes that never happened in our hearts? And how are we supposed to live with broken hearts, when for some parents, the most they can hope for from their children is simply to find some trace of them beneath the rubble? https://gofund.me/83e09b493https://gaza-verified.org/people/@nada@manganiello.eu/@fabio@manganiello.eu@aral@mastodon.ar.al@imp3tuz@mastodon.gamedev.place@gimulnautti@mastodon.green@Gustodon@mas.to@Daniel@mastodon.social@337guanacos@xarxa.cloud#Fediforgaza#Gaza #Palestine #StandWithGaza #MutualAid #Humanity #SupportPalestine #SaveLives #EmergencyRelief

From today’s bombing. This hand will forever bear witness to the abandonment of the entire world; a witness to an era that watched Gaza bleed, then turned its face away and walked on. O Allah, we entrust Gaza and its martyrs to You. Grant them justice, have mercy on those who have departed, and stand with those who remain. 💔 https://gofund.me/83e09b493https://gaza-verified.org/people/@nada@manganiello.eu/#Fediforgaza#Gaza #Palestine #StandWithGaza #MutualAid #Humanity #SupportPalestine #SaveLives #EmergencyRelief

Could you please share this? It is truly urgent. Every family in Gaza deserves to have someone hear their voice. 💔💔💔💔 Could you please share my post so it can reach donors who give support without looking only at fundraising lists, but also at the broader picture of what families in Gaza actually need? Sometimes I ask myself: how much does a family of six need each week to live with dignity, given the current prices in Gaza? If we take the most basic necessities into account: wood or fuel for cooking, the cost of electricity to charge phones, school fees for each child, bread and food, and medication when someone in the family is sick — bearing in mind that medicine is extremely expensive — as well as the fact that many goods in Gaza still cost several times more than they do outside Gaza, even after some prices have fallen. A family of six may need around $500 a week simply to cover these basic needs and live with a measure of dignity and stability. But there is a question I believe we need to ask: Why don’t donors distribute their support more evenly? Why do some families continue to receive thousands of dollars every week, while other families receive only a few dollars? I do not look at what others receive with jealousy, nor do I wish to deprive anyone of support. Every family has its own circumstances, and everyone living in Gaza deserves help. But I believe that continuing to pour large amounts of money into certain campaigns while leaving other families without support can, in the long run, do more harm than good. The purpose of donations should be to help people get through their crisis, not to turn support into permanent dependence or a competition to collect as much as possible. Nor can anyone guarantee that large donations will continue indefinitely. When donations suddenly decline, a person may find themselves facing an even more difficult reality than before. That is why I hope donors will look at the bigger picture, distribute their support as fairly as possible, and give a chance to families whose voices are not reaching people. And I also have a question: if a campaign is raising $3,000 a week, or even more than $1,000, why does its organizer continue to pressure and exhaust others by constantly asking for more, while other families cannot even find someone willing to hear them? I do not believe genuine solidarity should be a competition. In Gaza, there are many families who need a chance — not for their voices to be drowned out by others. Please help those who genuinely need it, and look at small campaigns with the same attention you give to large ones. Behind a campaign that has raised only a few dollars, there may be a family that has been waiting for days just to afford bread, medicine, or basic necessities for their children.

In a scene where pride and hope intertwine, graduates of the Faculty of Medicine at the Islamic University of Gaza illuminated their phones during the graduation ceremony of the 15th cohort, turning the light into an extraordinary moment that captures the story of a generation determined to continue its pursuit of education despite the harsh circumstances. The lights were not merely part of a celebration, but a message that education in Gaza is still alive, and that dreams can find their way forward even in the darkest of times.

Today, my children started their new school year, but the public schools they once attended have been destroyed, leaving us with no choice but to send them to paid educational tents. The fee is 100 shekels (around $35) per child, and I have three children. They also need notebooks and school supplies, and I have bought a few notebooks temporarily despite the high prices. Could you help me cover their school fees and basic supplies? Your support gives them a chance to continue their education despite everything. ❤️ Support link for my family ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ https://gofund.me/83e09b493 https://gaza-verified.org/people/@nada@manganiello.eu/ #Fediforgaza#Gaza #Palestine #StandWithGaza #MutualAid #Humanity #SupportPalestine #SaveLives #EmergencyRelief

An Image That Captures a Scene of Humiliation and Captivity A new image documents the moment a Palestinian detainee from the Gaza Strip is taken inside an Israeli military vehicle, in a harsh scene that reflects a painful aspect of the reality of captivity and detention. The image shows the detainee in a deeply bent position inside the vehicle, while two heavily armed Israeli soldiers sit behind him. The scene raises painful questions about the conditions in which Palestinian detainees are held and the way they are treated. This is not merely a passing moment; it is a heavy image that reminds us that behind every detainee is a human being with dignity and rights—and that human dignity should never be lost when a person is taken into captivity. https://gofund.me/83e09b493 #Gaza #Palestine #StandWithGaza #MutualAid #Humanity #SupportPalestine #SaveLives #EmergencyRelief

A painful subject that I hope we can talk about honestly, without sugarcoating it… We see women and girls from Gaza who are still living inside the Strip and who deserve every bit of respect and appreciation. They are an honorable reflection of our people and our homeland—holding on to their dignity and preserving their values despite the war, loss, displacement, and all the cruelty surrounding them. At the same time, there are other scenes that are painful and embarrassing… Girls both inside and outside Gaza are going live on TikTok, presenting the suffering of Gaza and its people through begging and emotional appeals, while their own accounts show lives filled with shopping malls, trips, parties, nights out, and displays of luxury. It is shameful… truly shameful. It is shameful to use the name of Gaza as a means of showing off or collecting gifts and money. It is shameful for people’s pain, hunger, displacement, tents, and losses to become content that is exploited for personal gain. Gaza is not a commodity. The suffering of its people is not a tool for begging. And people’s pain is not material for entertainment or self-promotion. There is such a thing as dignity… And there is also the image of an entire homeland whose name we carry, making us responsible for how others see it. Today, donations have often become concentrated among people who have been running established initiatives since the beginning of the war, or among those who ask for help through emotional appeals such as: “We have no food… look at our tent… look at our situation.” Meanwhile, many people who lived with dignity, who had enough before the war, and then lost their homes, money, and livelihoods, continue to suffer in silence—because their dignity prevents them from turning their tragedy into a daily spectacle for others. And here lies the painful irony: Silence and dignity can cause those who genuinely need help to be forgotten, while those who are good at putting on a show and appealing to people’s emotions receive more and more attention. To the families of Gaza… pay attention to your daughters. And pay even more attention to the image of Gaza that is being presented in your name and in the name of your families. We are not against someone asking for help when they genuinely need it. Nor are we against donations reaching those who truly deserve them. But we are against turning tragedy into a business, and turning poverty and destruction into a means of creating content and collecting gifts. Protect the name of #Gaza… It is not merely the name of a city. It is history, dignity, people, pain, and a responsibility that we all carry. Enough… والله، enough. https://gofund.me/83e09b493 #Gaza #Palestine #StandWithGaza #MutualAid #Humanity #SupportPalestine #SaveLives #EmergencyRelief

Let the world’s silence continue… An evacuation warning has just been issued for Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital. A prelude to a possible bombing. Even hospitals, which are supposed to be safe havens for the wounded and sick, are no longer spared from fear. There are patients who cannot flee, wounded people who cannot even carry their own bodies, and children waiting for treatment… yet they are all being told to leave. Where are they supposed to go? And how much longer will the world remain silent? https://gofund.me/83e09b493 #Gaza #Palestine #StandWithGaza #MutualAid #Humanity #SupportPalestine #SaveLives #EmergencyRelief

Hello… To everyone who would like to help me complete my training program, which comes before my return to work and gives me the opportunity to stand on my feet again, you can support me by donating through my link. This support means much more to me than just financial assistance; it is a step toward rebuilding my life, regaining my independence, and having the ability to create my future once again. Thank you to every kind heart that reaches out, and to everyone who believes that a person can begin again no matter how difficult the circumstances are. https://gofund.me/83e09b493 #Gaza #Palestine #StandWithGaza #MutualAid #Humanity #SupportPalestine #SaveLives #EmergencyRelief

Yesterday, I spoke about the corruption of some organizations and self-proclaimed aid initiatives. Today, I don’t need many words. This is the message my friend received from World Central Kitchen, inviting her to collect used cooking pots—as if everything we have lost could be replaced with items that someone else no longer needs. I have attached the message exactly as she received it, along with photos of the pots. I have also included a photo of a small corner of my own kitchen before the war. That kitchen was not a luxury. It was part of a normal life that we built through years of hard work, sacrifice, and dedication. We lost our homes, our furniture, our savings, our jobs, and our dreams. I had a home, a fully furnished kitchen, a car, and a piece of land. All of it is gone. But despite everything we have lost, we have not lost our dignity. We are not beggars, and we are not asking for what others have discarded. We are human beings whose lives were taken from us by force. We deserve to have our suffering treated with respect, and to receive support that preserves our dignity—not assistance that humiliates us. Please help us protect the only thing we still have left: our dignity. https://gofund.me/83e09b493 #Gaza #Palestine #StandWithGaza #MutualAid #Humanity #SupportPalestine #SaveLives #EmergencyRelief

Good morning… A good morning from Gaza, as it was before the war—a city that awoke to the light of the sea, breathed life into every corner, and planted hope in every heart. I’m sharing these photos because I believe memories never die, and beautiful places deserve to have their stories told. I hope that one day Gaza will return to what we once knew: vibrant with life, filled with warmth and peace. For the sake of hope, we will always believe that tomorrow can be brighter. Photos from my phone. https://gofund.me/83e09b493 #Gaza #Palestine #StandWithGaza #MutualAid #Humanity #SupportPalestine #SaveLives #EmergencyRelief

I would like to raise an issue that deeply concerns many families in Gaza. There are humanitarian initiatives run by individuals who enjoy widespread trust and popularity around the world. People donate to these initiatives with the sincere hope that their contributions will reach the families who need them most. However, based on what we witness and experience on the ground, many families say they have not received any assistance, despite months of fundraising. In our camp in particular, most families have received little to no aid, even though large fundraising campaigns are frequently promoted in their name. With the new school year less than a month away, many initiatives are collecting donations for school supplies and uniforms, especially since most children in Gaza have lost their clothes and belongings during the war. Yet countless families—including many in our camp—are still waiting for even the most basic support. My intention is not to accuse anyone without evidence. Rather, I am calling for greater transparency and accountability, with clear and public mechanisms for how aid is distributed, so that donations reach the people they were intended to help and donors can be confident that their generosity is making a real difference. If you believe humanitarian aid should reach those who truly need it, I kindly ask you to share this post so that our voices can be heard and donations can reach the families who have been waiting for far too long. I have attached two screenshots related to one of these initiative organizers. One shows aid that they claim is being distributed, although many families say they have received nothing. The other shows a lavish dining table from the organizer’s personal social media account. I am sharing these images so readers can draw their own conclusions. https://gofund.me/83e09b493 #Gaza #Palestine #StandWithGaza #MutualAid #Humanity #SupportPalestine #SaveLives #EmergencyRelief

This is our Gaza… This is what I saw today as I made my way back from the southern part of the Strip to Gaza City. A road marked by the scars of war at every turn, yet it still holds something that no war can ever take away… the soul of this place. That is why I decided that, over the coming days, I want to share with you photos of Gaza as it was before the war—a Gaza embraced by the sea, where life flowed through its streets and the laughter of its people filled every corner. I want you to see the city that lived within us long before destruction found its way to it. I want you to know that behind every pile of rubble is a story, and behind every home that was destroyed are memories that still beat in the hearts of those who belonged there. Those photographs may seem as though they come from another lifetime, but to us they are an unbroken promise—a reminder that no matter how long the night lasts, it can never stop the sun from rising. We will keep the image of beautiful Gaza alive in our hearts, not to mourn only what we have lost, but to believe that one day she will return as we have always known her: a city that loves life, and deserves it more than anywhere else. https://gofund.me/83e09b493 #Gaza #Palestine #StandWithGaza #MutualAid #Humanity #SupportPalestine #SaveLives #EmergencyRelief
