With permission from @Five@slrpnk.net, this post is created to post several fundraisers for Palestinians who are currently living in havoc-wreaken Gaza. I really hope that you can share the words, spread the messages and donate what you can for the struggling families and individuals in the territory. All the pictures included in the pose were taken directly from the corresponding gofundme pages. I added descriptions of the images for visually impaired people, but my descriptions are, in a large part, purely speculations.

I've gotten most of my information from the FB page Free Watermelon NOW. They're constantly updating the fundraisers they know, as well as the situations of Gazan people they're able to contact. You could follow them to receive updates. The page is Vietnamese, so you might need a translation tools.

Feel free to contribute to the post by commenting fundraising projects for Palestinians that you know, or you can just post them independently. Share some love, spread the messages, donate, and always remember:

MUTUAL AID IS SOLIDARITY.

Fundraiser for Abdul Karim and his family. They need money to fund the evacuation from Gaza strip and build a new life in safety and peace. The situation is getting really desperate for his family, as the war will continue to claim more people in his family if they could not receive the much needed financial aid to seek refuge in Egypt.

His fundraiser is advancing very slowly and in desperate need of more donations. Please go to the gofundme page, read his story, and share some love!

Update: His cousin, Bassam, had been captured and tortured by the IDF back in the Novemeber of last year. He was released but couldn't reunite with his family in North Gaza, as he was forced to go South. Bassam is currently taking refuge in Karim's house, while his wife and children are facing severe starvation during the ongoing famine in the north. He doesn't have a gofundme so Karim will receive donation on his behalf.

You could read more of Bassam story on this FB post by Free Watermelon NOW. The page's admin has been contacting Karim and posted Bassam's story back in July.

Fundraiser for Kholoud's family.

She's a 30-year-old divorced widow sharing a family with 2 young children, Salem and Sara. They became homeless after their house was bombed in an airstrike.

Kholoud holds a Bachelor's degree in Primary Education, so she remains hopeful about providing her children a safe and healthy environment to grow up in, despite devastating condition they're enduring in Gaza

Fundraiser for Hozifa

Hofiza is 18 years old, 25 people that he knows, including his childhood love, his uncles and their families, were matyred in the midst of the ongoing genocide. He and his family of five want to use the fund raised to cover the cost of crossing border and setting up a new life in Cairo, Egypt, before going to Turkey. You could see more details about how the fund is allocated by going to his gofundme.

Two guys, one of them is presumably Hofiza himself, cheerfully point at the wall with a piece of graffiti with the slogan "From the River to the sea, Palestine will be free", his name and his friend's (?) name, written on it, along with a Palestinian flag.

Fundraising for Muhammad Al-Shaer's family.

Aside from Muhammad Al-Shaer and his sister, the lives of entire family were claimed by the war in Gaza.

His leg is injured by the war, leading to him being unable to provide for his sister and daughter, Eileen and Dima. They are in a very vulnerable situation, in which access to food, drink, and safety is not readily available. Please share some love if you can, as he'd written "Every donation, no matter the size, is a beacon of hope in this dark hour".

You can read his story on the gofundme page.

Peru's reclusive Mashco Piro ethnic group recently used bows and arrows to attack loggers suspected of encroaching on their territory in the Amazon, according to a regional Indigenous organization.

FENAMAD, representing 39 Indigenous communities in the Cusco and Madre de Dios regions, said Monday that it believes illegal logging was taking place on Mashco Piro territory and that one logger was injured in the July 27 attack.
