We are an ad-hoc group of volunteers who have loved ones in Gaza. Our goal is to give direct mutual aid to help displaced & distressed families meet their basic needs during these catastrophic times. We also aim to cultivate and strengthen relations with each other and build community with those in solidarity with our struggle for liberation.

We first started in November, our main focus was supporting multiple teams of our family members in cooking for hundreds of displaced families in Rafah, as well as providing clean water delivery, blankets, winter clothing, and tents. Since the invasion of Rafah, we began distributing direct cash aid to families through the middle and northern areas, and more recently, weekly deliveries of vegetables and chicken, as well as other initiatives to provide basic needs, clothing, slippers, etc. We have fixed sewage systems, built and distributes clay ovens, supported the revival of a school for young children, and basically follow the lead of our teams on the ground to provide what they know is needed most at any given time. We are also supporting projects and people in the north where food has become scarce.

You can see many of the different efforts we are supporting in action and get to know the teams we work with on the ground via our new Instagram page. We are aiming to better archive all the work that has been done there. We also aim to archive and showcase the vibrant community that generously gave in the most creative ways (especially micro fundraisers) out of solidarity. We are grateful for the joy the creative and generous community support that has enabled us to continue to support these projects.
