My name is Israa, and I am a mother of three children in Gaza. I never imagined that my life would become about constantly thinking about how to find food, clean water, medicine, and the simplest things my children need. My son Abdullah is suffering from malnutrition. He is very weak for his age and needs nutritious food, vitamins, and the right kind of nutrition to help his body regain strength. As a mother, it hurts me deeply to see my child needing things that should be basic for every child. Our home was also burned and badly damaged during the war. The roof was destroyed, and we need to rebuild the foundations and repair it so that we can have a safe place for our children, especially before winter comes. Every day brings another need. Food, water, medicine, children’s needs, and the costs of trying to repair what was destroyed. We have lost so much, but I am still trying to keep my children going and give them whatever I can. I am not asking for a comfortable life. I am asking for help with the things my children and my family need to survive and slowly rebuild our lives. If you can donate, even a small amount, or simply share our campaign, it means more to us than I can explain. Your support can help Abdullah get the nutrition he needs and help our family make our home safe again. Our campaign: https://chuffed.org/project/154249-israas-hope-a-familys-fight-to-rebuild-after-war

My name is Momin, and I am currently living in Belgium while six members of my family remain in Gaza City, in the Al-Thalathini area. They are living inside a partially destroyed building that is not suitable for habitation. Their access to food and clean water depends largely on aid distributions. On days when no distribution is available, they may be left without enough food or water. I created this GoFundMe to help cover their urgent daily needs and to support them in reaching safety if a safe evacuation route becomes available. Any donation, even a small one, can make a real difference. If you cannot donate, please consider sharing the campaign with others. Every share helps us reach people who may be able to support my family. GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-my-family-of-six-in-gaza-reach-safety-ghkhz� Thank you for reading, sharing, and standing with my family. — Momin

RE: https://mutualaidspace.org/mutual-aid-request-roundup-26-aug-2026/
Borders are not legitimate arbiters of who is owed solidarity, and support can mean moving money directly or carrying somebody’s request beyond one’s own network. Below is this week's mutual aid request roundup. Support within your capacity.

What happens when you realise a crisis isn’t always treated as a tragedy? Book review: The Shock Doctrine
I finished The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein and immediately had the uncomfortable experience of wanting to recommend a book that made me deeply uncomfortable.
I don’t believe in every argument Naomi makes; however, I wanted to recommend it because, whether you agree with her or not, she definitely changes the way you look at the world once finished and surely that’s a book worthwhile.
Published in 2007, the book explores a simple but unsettling idea that moments of collective crisis, whether natural disasters, wars, financial collapse or political upheaval, often create opportunities to push through economic policies that would ordinarily face far greater resistance.
Sinister, I know. Naomi traces this argument across decades and continents, weaving together economics, politics and history into a narrative that’s equal parts investigative journalism and historical analysis. She moves from Chile under Augusto Pinochet to post-Soviet Russia, the invasion of Iraq, Hurricane Katrina and the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, arguing that each crisis became an opportunity for sweeping political and economic change.
Reading it felt like watching hundreds of seemingly unrelated events slowly click together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.
Whether that pattern convinces you is almost secondary. The real value of the book lies in the questions it leaves behind…
Who benefits from crisis, who decides what recovery looks like and who exactly are we rebuilding for?
I found myself thinking whilst reading the hurricane Katrina chapter (one of the many crises mentioned in the book) how we often describe events as inevitable, as though history simply unfolded on its own. Klein makes you question the opposite as she asks us to consider who made decisions in the background, who held power and who profited from moments when everyone else was distracted by survival.
It’s a perspective I don’t think I’ll easily shake moving forward, especially as someone studying health science. I couldn’t help but draw parallels with public health.
Despite it being the most uncomfortable reading experience of 2026 thus far, I have to rate it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I tried to read it without annotating to much on my first pass as I suspect I’ll revisit this repeatedly over the years underlining sentences and adding thoughts.
Would I recommend it?
Yes, with one caveat. Read it as an argument to interrogate rather than form a solid conclusion. And definitely follow the footnotes and additional research in the back for a comprehensive overview of what Naomi is talking about.
Who is this for?
I think readers interested in political economy, history and public policy will get the most from it. That said, don’t let the subject matter put you off. Klein writes in an accessible, engaging style and despite its length and extensive footnotes, I found it surprisingly easy to read.

I'm back with mutual aid requests roundup article for the week after an unplanned hiatus last week for technical stuff. Amplifying each request is the bare minimum. Give direct support if it's within your capacity. Either way, be the person who dismantles the rotten capitalist conditioning that isolates you; "nobody is going to help/save you." Prove them wrong.

„[T]he traditional assumption that regional conflicts are temporary shocks awaiting a diplomatic fix has completely collapsed.
For global political and economic elites, perpetual instability is no longer a failure to be corrected but a baseline structural condition around which modern global capitalism is choosing to organize itself.“

The Tony Blair Institute think tank made a proposal to the Labour party to abolish the so-called triple lock system: a mechanism in which state pensions rise every April by whichever is highest — inflation rate, average wage growth or 2.5%.
Describing the concept as "unaffordable", it proposes a tricky ersatz — a "lifespan fund": individuals contribute to it and get only 20 years of support in return.
"Pension spending must be contained and that means the triple lock cannot continue after the next election," the director of economic policy at the Tony Blair Institute Thomas Smith said as quoted by The Guardian.

Even the collapse of crypto creates lots of opportunities to “buy the dip.” Not the dip in crypto (crypto's going to zero), but the dip in all the real things people bought with real money they got by borrowing against their shitcoins.

Even more of a concentration camp than it was before. I also suspect that it will only be available to those who can pay - a lot.

Trump’s Gaza plan is a rebuff to Israeli extremists, but will soon be put to test | Gaza | The Guardian
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jan/22/trump-kushner-gaza-blueprint-rafahTime will tell. Trusting Trump is always a bad idea.And Israel I am sure will not accept this plan.
Also, the blueprint looks a lot like disaster capitalism.
