Of all the things that Palestinians in Gaza have endured since 1948, the start of Israel's aggression in response to the October 7th attack has been outrageous. One aspect of this tragedy is a world that doesn't understand why the attack happened — we feel that resistance is justified when people are oppressed by an apartheid regime who occupies their land while subjecting them to unimaginable daily brutality, violence, and decades of human rights violations and at the same time prohibiting all avenues for advocacy & relief, in addition to profiting from resources they unethically stole from Palestinians while prohibiting them from the same — water, being one of them.
But the REAL tragedy is happening RIGHT NOW. So many have managed to survive unfathomable conditions, like forced displacement, multiple bombings, no access to water, electricity and now, unfortunately, Israel is weaponizing hunger. Hundreds of children have already starved to death, and right now more than a million people have gone weeks without eating a single thing. With water, they can survive up to 3 weeks, but without water, they are lucky to survive ONE week. They have managed to stay alive by eating things like animal feed, grass & other non-food items that no human should ever have to eat, and now we have reached a point of desperation. More than 2.3 million Palestinians have been forced into these conditions, while more than 600,000 people find themselves at a point where their bodies have begun to shut down. These people are just days away from a catastrophic mass murder by systematic starvation. This emergency appeal is one of several efforts to combat this crisis.
Please consider helping us save the lives of these innocent people who do not deserve such cruelty from anyone, let alone colonizers who simply have no right to exist on our land. Palestinians deserve to have their faith in humanity restored, and we need your help doing that. 100% of these proceeds will go directly to our partners on the ground who are able to source and distribute the necessary nutritional aid to the masses; and since this fundraiser is established through a non-profit organization, Give Butter does not impose any fees — so ALL the funds we raise can go to Gaza where your contributions can maximize our aid efforts.
Please consider sharing this urgent fundraiser with others you think might want to help, and may we all see a FREE PALESTINE!
