While we continue to donate to personal evacuation funds, I think it is crucial to keep in mind that these individuals as well as millions more in Gaza are currently actively in need of basic necessities like food, water, shelter, and medical care. Keeping this in mind, and recognising that there is no way to know when the border crossing with Egypt will reopen, I think our attention should also be on raising funds for organisations currently on the ground who will have the widest impact on the lives of Palestinians who are still enduring the genocide in Gaza.
Below are some verified donation links of organisations that are currently providing assistance for the people in Gaza directly:
Food, water, and shelter
Taawon has launched a campaign to provide support in Gaza through food parcels, shopping vouchers, fresh produce, water bottles and shelter tents.
Watermelon Relief is a project initiated and implemented by a group of activists in Gaza, who work to provide aid to displaced families in Gaza through meals, support and activities.
World Food Programme (WFP) managed to provide assistance to more than 1 million people in Gaza in May by delivering food in shelters, makeshift camps and shops.
Life for Gaza is an initiative through which the Municipality of Gaza aims to provide basic necessities for the people of Gaza such as water projects, waste collection and the reconstruction of roads.
Arab Group for the Protection of Nature (APN) is working to plant farmlands in Gaza through their "Revive Gaza Farmlands" project, through which they had already started planting vegetables, fruits and leafy greens in Gaza.
Purchasing eSIMs is one of the only remaining ways to keep Gazans connected with the outside world, to get their stories out or even enable them to call for help after Israeli strikes.
The Sameer Project is a donation based aid initiative that provides tents, cash aid, diapers and formula for displaced families in Gaza.
Care For Gaza is an organisation that works to provide essential aid such as food packages and cash to deliver to displaced families in Gaza.
Palestine Children's Relief Fund, through their "Gaza Relief and Recovery" campaign, plan to provide essential medical supplies and treatments, as well as food and clean water.
The UNRWA has an Emergency Appeal for Gaza, where donations will provide families in Gaza with lifesaving food and water, winter kits and to repair UNRWA shelters.
Mutual Aid for the People of Gaza is a fundraiser managed by Mona in Gaza, who personally purchases and distributes basic supplies including food parcels to families in Gaza.
Help Gaza Children is another grassroots effort operating on the ground in Gaza to support families with food, water and clothing.
Medical care
Palestinian Red Crescent has been on the ground in Palestine since 1968 as part of the Red Cross & Crescent movement. They have had a continuous presence on the ground in Gaza as the main source of medical care and assistance.
Medical Aid for Palestine (MAP) provides medical supplies and supports healthcare services in Gaza.
Doctors Without Borders (MSF) provide medical and humanitarian aid in Palestine and have had their teams on the ground operating from MSF-supported health facilities across Gaza.
Gaza Wound Care is a medical team in a tent in Nuseirat, providing care to children and supporting pregnant women.
Children Not Numbers is an NGO dedicated to providing medical care for the children in Gaza including delivery of medical aid and medical evacuation for children.
Scenario: a sample of your DNA was taken, popped into a cell, and cloned into a baby, gestated in a sci-fi artificial womb vat. The first time you or anyone in your family meets this baby is after it has already been born out of said vat. You can hold the newborn if you want, it's up to you, but it is a living breathing baby that was cloned from your DNA and is genetically identical to you.
I love clone philosophy. Give me all your philosophy of clones
Miu and Shuuji Parallels
Originally posted to Twitter - I guess this is the extended edition.
Well… I told myself I cant write think pieces but if I'm gonna think this much, I might as well put it on tumblr 🤣
In short:
Oldest & youngest of main cast
Younger siblings to older brothers
Leaves home to prove they can make it on their own
And then there's:
Self blame
Loss of identity
Anger in place of grief
But mostly when Shuuji defends his brother, Miu is the only one who GETS IT.
Younger siblings to older brothers
They’re both youngest siblings that don't always get along with their older brother. But the difference is in how they clash. First time we meet Kaito, his description of her is already so far off from the Miu we see at the start. Small, timid and scared is how he sees her. Already, there is a clash of ideals on who she is and who she wants to be vs how Kaito sees her and how he's projecting that image onto her. This leads to some pretty explosive fights between the two, as Miu refuses to mold herself according to how Kaito wants her to behave. Even if it's for her own protection. Whereas Shuuji tries to mold himself into whatever his dad wants him to be. Even to his own detriment.
With the brothers, we never meet the older Kayama but Shuuji first mentions him at the amusement park in line with how we reunite the in-game siblings. In the conversation, he tries to reassure Kaito that not being able to know what Miu is thinking at all times does not mean he is lacking as an older brother. He's speaking from the perspective of the younger who holds his brother in high regard despite telling us they don't get along.
It's no secret that Miu is bothered by Kaito’s behaviour and is not afraid to call him out on it. Kaito of course is openly upset to which Shuuji says he's jealous that Miu and Kaito have this kind of relationship. We learn that he and his brother don't even fight since his brother doesn't 'stoop that low'. Where the Shinonome siblings clash, for the brothers there is simply nothing there (in terms of airing out and fixing your problems).
Living in a household where siblinghood is treated like a competition rather than a source of support, there is a distance caused by that 'competition'. Like he says to Agumon, it's not as simple as liking or disliking your sibling.
(Can I just say, I love Agumon's innocent yet intrusive questions. Takuma too, but he's a bit more passive and sometimes beats around the bush. Probably a learned human behaviour lol)
I don't know how to put it but that scene where he's telling Miu and Kaito to stop fighting and get along, and he gets told that is how they get along kinda made me sad. He's never had a proper fight with his older brother so they've never had their problems laid out in the open. By now, the game hints at a sibling rivalry fueled by the feelings he holds for his dad which in game calls a 'complicated relationship'. Any visible fighting is probably stopped because it's bothersome. No one else seems bothered by the Shinonome sibling rivalry and Shuuji's genuine confusion at how this is allowed, and deemed ok shows that being silenced is the norm in the Kayama household, and not talking about your problems is 'getting along'.
Leaves home to prove they can make it on their own
Kaito tries to protect Miu by threatening anything that might hurt her with physical violence. Telling her to 'get behind me' a couple times in the game. Shuuji's brother takes on the tasks their dad demands of Shuuji (whether or not this is to protect him or shut him up, I don't know. It feels like both). They might be well meaning, but this leaves Miu and Shuuji are incapable and can't be trusted to do anything on their own. That they're weak and lacking.
For Miu, it causes her to avoid her brother. To get away from his ‘helicopter parenting’. We first see her I'm the prologue having run away from home. A straw doll taking her place in bed. Clearly she's been planning this for a while.
Side Note: I want to point out that Kaito is dealing with their parent’s perceived betrayal. I don’t remember if they talk much about their life before the incident but it could be that they had a relatively normal life - one their parents are willing to put on a facade to keep that image of a normal happy family. (I don’t know if it’s intentional but even their family make up is father, mother, son, daughter - dynamics usually depicted as ‘normal families’ in children’s media). Whatever idyllic family life they might have had is shattered by an incident beyond their daughter's control. And what do they do? They move to a place where nobody knows what happened, where they can pretend it never even happened.
From Kaito’s perspective, this is not good enough (he's right) and he has had to step up. Is he being overprotective or just compensating for his parent’s lack of action? Anyway, he's trying to be a parent without knowing how to be a parent is what I'm saying.
For Shuuji, it's a bit more clear-cut as he does make mention of trying to prove himself a few times. In his prologue story, we get to see his motivations for joining the campers. He's there to prove himself capable.
Saki mentions that it's stifling to be so coddled and I'm sure she either says this to Kaito or about Kaito.
They attempt to gain independence from their brothers. Both want to be 'stronger', to prove that they can do things on their own w/o being coddled by their brothers.
This is technically part 1 as there's a next section that's a bit harder for me to post... I've written it, but since they're sensitive topics I find myself self-censoring a lot. And I cant post it as it is.
So listen, I know Minoru makes jokes and all that but he doesn't do it to hurt people. He does it to run away from his own feelings
Search for safe drinking water
In the besieged lands of Gaza, the search for drinking water unfolds as a tragic odyssey of endurance and deprivation. Every step taken to procure this fundamental necessity is laden with hardship and uncertainty. Families embark on wearying journeys, traversing long distances in pursuit of a simple sip of water. Yet, the wells of health and purity run dry, as contamination and scarcity cast a shadow over their quest. The echoes of war reverberate through their struggle, rendering the act of securing clean and uncontaminated water a poignant reminder of the entrenched suffering that defines life in Gaza.

Islam Al-Najjar I hesitated and delayed for a long time in writing these words and creating an account on GoFundMe, but the need has become very urgent because of what I see of the approaching death of myself and my family. I insisted on detailing and explaining more and more about my family in order to show you the whole picture and for you to know the extent of my suffering and need.
To begin our story, it is important for me to know my family, which is the core of my existence and the source of my strength during these difficult times: We are a family of six people who have been suffering for more than 10 months from a brutal war that does not spare people or stones.
We were living quietly in our wonderful and humble house with trees and nature around us. However, the war destroyed everything and we have nothing left. Unfortunately, we are still searching for a suitable shelter to continue living
A picture of our house before and after the war
Mother: The heart of our home My mother
embodies generosity and kindness as a devoted housewife, and always gives priority to the well-being of her family. My mother was a school teacher who did what she had to produce an educated generation. She is now unable to continue her work due to the war
Father: Pillar of strength My father, Marwan, faced the real pain of being the first responsible for protecting us, but there is no protection in light of this war. He lost more than 35 kilograms due to grief, oppression, and lack of food.
This is a picture of my family- my mother, father and sisters
The only brother: Aser My brother Aser, an engineer, graduated from the university a few days before the war and was not happy about his graduation because the war ended his dreams that he had and was in the process of building. He cannot work now because of the war.

As for myself,
I am Islam As for me, the eldest of my sisters, I was on the cusp of a new beginning after I finished university, majoring in physical therapy. I obtained an honors degree, as a 27-year-old person looking forward to independence and work to continue my career in physical therapy. After I graduated from university, I worked specifically to help people with disabilities who needed a physical therapist, and I had the tools in the picture before you. The war came and destroyed all of these tools. It not only destroyed my professional dreams, it destroyed my home, which I was trying to beautify. The war consumed everything I had collected. I saved it from my work. I dreamed of traveling abroad and developing myself in the field of physical therapy, but unfortunately this has not happened yet.
This is my picture before and after the war
This is my grandfather. He was injured by the occupation many years ago and is still suffering from this injury. We are taking care of him because he cannot carry out his duties alone.
Now we hope to escape death, we hope the war will end, we hope to leave the Gaza Strip to continue our lives in all calm and peace, we hope to live a decent life away from bombing, occupation and destruction.
Today, my family and I are suffering from a lack of medicine, food, and health care. We are losing a lot of weight due to the lack of food. Everything here is expensive and we cannot buy it. Other than that, we are now homeless and without a place to shelter us. Insects are everywhere and rodents are too. This is very terrible.
The cost of rebuilding the house requires ,It costs a lotand the eviction fees are expensive, especially since I do not have any source of income. Once we are able to evacuate, your donations will cover the construction of our home, our travel expenses and help us get immediate support Within the GoFoundMe link are details of expenses there will be meal expenses, wardrobe expenses, emergency expenses, etc., but no generous contribution will go to waste.
Those who have the authority to add my family names to the list for travel abroad are asking for astronomical amounts per person! They will not add names until we can prove that we have the funds ready
I ask for your help because this is not only my battle alone, but a battle in which we ask for your help in order to survive and preserve my families. Any donation, big or small, will make a huge impact on my life and the lives of my family. I am grateful to everyone who donated, and I will forever be grateful for giving me and my family hope and the opportunity to survive and build a better future.
Thanks for reading my story. To share my story with your friends and family. I hope there will be a ceasefire, and we can get the comfort and security we deserve to build our lives again. My hope is in all of you, without exception, who can help me with all of this
Thank you for reading what I wrote with my mind, and thank you again for your support and participation

palestinian culture isn't something for you to "consume". buying as many "palestinian themed" things as possible isn't being an ally. please focus on real life decolonization rather than being a performative ally. pay attention whether you are actually appreciating the culture or just consuming it for your own self interest and gain.
