Many bakeries in Gaza are closed and if flour doesn’t come in, the Strip will run out of flour within days. Prices are hiking in the market, please help urgently: chuffed.org/project/help-us-…

Yes we were informed of this yesterday and were extremely heartbroken. The Sameer Project has the ability to scale up water, all we need is funding. Help us do more than half a million liters of water. We beg you. Things are bad in Gaza, really really bad.

This short piece by Albuna Abu Safiya, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya's wife, entrusting us all to continue to insist on his release and act in service of it, with urgency. She and her children remain in Gaza. thisisrobinaqureshi.substack…
Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya's name has fallen out of the news cycle, alongside the many other Palestinian healthcare workers imprisoned indefinitely under unspeakable conditions. No Palestinian should be imprisoned by a foreign occupier. thecall.ps/p/exceeding-oaths…

COMMUNITY KITCHENS ARE CLOSING IN GAZA!! Urgent help is needed: chuffed.org/project/help-us-…
We have been sounding the alarms about the HUGE decrease in aid and support in Gaza over the last two months. Malnutrition cases and severe dehydration cases are increasing in our clinics, and it is expected to get worse.
Listen to Palestinians in Gaza telling you how they can’t feed their children. Listen to the voices who are living a genocide for almost 3 years now. Listen to their suffering when the majority of the world is busy with the World Cup and their summer plans.
There are no more words to describe the level of tragedy faced in Gaza. The Sameer Project continues to provide aid every single day despite the obstacles. Our kitchen is making around 1,600 meals for 6 days a week but we might have to go down to 4 days a week.
Urgent help is needed for our kitchen, donate now to the Food & Water Campaign: chuffed.org/project/help-us-…

A very dangerous new nightmare we are living in Gaza City, and no one in the world is paying attention to it.
Days ago, the Israeli army installed huge military cranes, each about 30 meters tall, on the eastern areas it controls. These cranes are equipped with machine guns and cameras, and they fire randomly and almost continuously at tents, streets, and exposed neighborhoods.
Gaza City is extremely narrow, only 10 kilometers wide. A single crane at that height is enough to expose the entire city from east to west. Every street, every square, every tent, every house has become completely exposed. There is no place to hide, and not a single moment of safety.
In just the past two days, three people were killed by fire from these cranes. One of them was sitting quietly with his father in a small café, trying to breathe for a few minutes. Hours later, a 5year old girl was killed while playing near her home.
These cranes have turned the entire city into an open field. The latest military technologies are directed at civilians. We have become an open testing ground for their new weapons. The horror is not just in the sound… it is the constant feeling of being an exposed target at all times, where even children cannot run in the street without fear.

Unfiltered rage. That’s what Palestinians in Gaza are feeling and that’s what we at The Sameer Project are feeling. The world has failed Gaza as we come close to 3 years of an ongoing genocide. Urgent support needed: chuffed.org/project/help-us-…
How much more are Palestinians in Gaza supposed to wait? How much more do they need to tolerate? When will this genocide end?
The Sameer Project is scrambling to stay functional. We cut our food production by 50% and stopped giving out meals with meat. On June 12th, we gave out 485 bulgur meals to 112 families in Fares Camp, Tal Al Hawa, Gaza City. Total cost with 11% commission was $809.

The Sameer Project did surveys and asked about the services needed in Gaza. Transport was one of the top needs asked for by Palestinians in Gaza. The typical waiting time to get transport is 1-2 hours and in many cases, people can’t afford the rides.
We provide 9 free buses, 7 days a week. The cost is $3,500 per day. Number of people who use our buses is around 2,800.
This service wouldn’t be possible without this community. Help us keep the buses running by giving to the General Fund today: chuffed.org/project/113222-t…

BREAKING: Justice Jeremy Johnson has ruled that the Filton 4 will be sentenced as terrorists – even though two juries refused to convict them of violence charges over their efforts to disable an Israeli factory in the UK making killer drones for use in Gaza. They were found guilty of a minor charge of criminal damage.
Judge Johnson kept the jury in the dark of his plans to sentence the four as terrorists. This is the first time in British legal history that anyone has been sentenced as a terrorist for damaging property. It's a very dark moment in an increasingly authoritarian Britain.
Thousands of legal professionals complained about Johnson's clear abuses of legal procedures to help the government's case for proscribing Palestine Action as a terrorist group.
Johnson has now proved this was always a show trial.
I explain how he rigged the two trials here: jonathancook.substack.com/p/…

Every day Palestinians in Gaza think about where to get food from, where to find water - but few think about the men who wake up every day to clean the streets, remove garbage, and prevent disease from spreading in a place where the occupation has systematically destroyed sanitation infrastructure and waste management systems. Donate now: chuffed.org/project/help-us-…
Their work is exhausting. The piles of waste grow larger, resources are scarce, and the conditions become more dangerous by the day. Yet they continue because they believe that cleanliness is part of faith, part of dignity, and part of caring for their community.
These sanitation workers are often unseen and rarely thanked. But Gaza would not function without them.
As part of our Eid meat distribution in Gaza City, Translating Falasteen x The Sameer Project made sure to visit and honor the sanitation crews who continue serving their people under impossible circumstances. Alongside the distribution of 200 kilograms of meat, we wanted to recognize the dedication, sacrifice, and humanity of those who work tirelessly to keep their neighborhoods clean and livable.
The full 200 kilograms of meat distributed cost $3,257 after fees and commissions. These workers preserve dignity, protecting public health, and continuing to serve our people despite all obstacles.
Give them a thanks in the comments and continent to donate to our Food and Water Campaign: chuffed.org/project/help-us-…

We were told it’s impossible to build a new desalination plant in Gaza using different parts that we found inside the Strip. But for The Sameer Project team, there is no impossible!
Support now: chuffed.org/project/149178-s…
Around 6 weeks ago, The Sameer Project team hired contractors to work alongside our team members and constructed a desalination plant. This will provide a NEW source of fresh water in a genocide. We are hoping that production will be at 300,000 liters of drinkable water daily.
This desalination plant will run on gas and will save us money from having to purchase from other desalination plants. Costs for water distributions will drop meaning that your money will provide more water for Palestinians in Gaza.
We are in the final stages of finishing the desalination plant but we still need your material support as the cost of this ended up being $200,000. This is the last stretch, please help us finish.
Even if it’s only $5, contribute to the Rebuild Gaza Campaign now: chuffed.org/project/149178-s…

If we could only continue ONE initiative in Gaza, it would definitely be water. HELP: chuffed.org/project/help-us-… When we reduced water distributions, our teams got bombarded with calls from camp managers asking for water trucks. This represents the magnitude of the disaster in Gaza.
97% of the well water in Gaza is contaminated and the municipality water is not drinkable. The ONLY option people have for fresh water is for water desalination plants to arrive in a water truck. And people can walk for up to 5 kms to get the water.
Currently, The Sameer Project is providing around 450,000 liters of fresh water per day for a bit less than $6,000. We get subsidized water from UNICEF and free water from MSF so we are able to provide a large amount of water for less money. Your donation goes further with us.
Donate to the Food & Water Campaign to continue water distributions.

It is four years today since the murder of Shireen Abu Akleh in cold blood by Israeli occupation forces in Jenin. In these four years, Israeli forces have murdered at least 262 journalists in Gaza alone, and 50 more are held captive in zionist prisons.

Most ppl don’t realize that even $3 can make this much of a difference right now in Gz. This is not all that we should be doing, it is the bare bare minimum but ppl must be kept alive while the fight continues. If you’re seeing this and have $3 in your account, donate $3.
Palestinians in Gaza feel forgotten - and they’re right. Donations dropped drastically and the media barely mentions Gaza and when it does it’s censored and full of fake news. Please help today: chuffed.org/project/help-us-…
Palestinians are having fist fights to get bread to eat. Food is too expensive for most people to buy. Many children remain malnourished. The situation is beyond tragic and Palestinians in Gaza are being killed slowly while the world remains silent.
The Sameer Project bakery is trying to tackle the bread issue by doing daily distributions in displacement camps. On April 22nd, we gave out 150 bags of bread to Salam Camp and 70 bags to Kanz Camp in Gaza City. 20 bags were distributed to surrounding tents. The 240 bags cost $677, including the 11% commission.
For around $3, you provide a family in Gaza with a bag of bread that is enough for a large family for the day or for a small family for two days. During the famine last summer, a bag of bread was a dream - please help us feed Palestinians in Gaza.

The area around Kamal Adwan Hospital and Jabalia Camp has been decimated - homes destroyed, infrastructure gone, families displaced. HELP: chuffed.org/project/help-us-… This was once a thriving neighborhood. Now it's rubble and tents.
But life is stubborn. People are still here, still surviving, still refusing to disappear.
On March 29, Translating Falasteen x The Sameer Project distributed 780 Thai chicken sandwiches to families in this area - those sheltering near what's left of Kamal Adwan Hospital, those living in the ruins of Jabalia Camp. The total cost was $2,390 after 11% commission.
It's not reconstruction. It's not justice. But it's a meal. It's relief. It's a reminder that they haven't been forgotten.
Help us continue feeding families in the hardest-hit areas of Gaza. Donate to our Food and Water Campaign today.
