  1. Latest update from the Sameer Project's Food & Water Project:

    Thu, Mar 12: $299,896 for 2.4 million liters & over 10,000 meals!

    "The situation in Gaza remains dire as borders closed for a few days last week, and now they are barely letting anything in. Today our team informed us that there is no meat left in the market and that gas prices for water trucks shot up due to the shortage. The military occupation is punishing Gaza due to the regional war that is occuring between them and Iran, and the most vulnerable end up paying the price. We pray for the victory against our oppressor and ask for your continuos donations and support!"

    If you've anything to spare, any amount is incredibly welcome!

  7. Latest news from the Sameer Project in South Gaza, Friday 26 Dec:

    $108,978 for 93 tents in 3 weeks of mass displacement!

    "Our last updates focused on food and water but today's update will be for the tents provided from around mid-September till the "ceasefire" date in October, which is October 9th. Prior to the "ceasefire" there were tens of thousands being displaced from the North to the South, so we accelerated our tent distributions during that time. Some tents were given to vulnerable families but most of the tents were set up directly by our team. The Sameer Project team would go to different areas and find families on the streets with nothing except their belongings, so would set up tents for them."

    Support the Sameer Project's work in Gaza. Any amount is very welcome!

  8. Give Warmth to Gaza This Winter Season with Hala Sabbah from The Sameer Project

    "In this episode we'll welcome Hala Sabbah from The Sameer Project back to the program to talk about life in Gaza nearly two months into the so-called "ceasefire." We'll talk about the realities on the ground and the needs of people in Gaza right now, what is getting into the strip and what is not, and how the Sameer Project is working within the current conditions in Gaza."

  9. Last update from the Refaat Alareer Camp:

    Tuesday 25 nov.: $78,983 spent caring for our camps for 3 weeks!

    "A big change in our camps has been the switch from daily food distributions to voucher distributions that range between 100-200 shekels ($30 - $60) according to vulnerability & family size. After the "ceasefire" prices of goods dropped as around 150 trucks enter Gaza daily with aid and commercial goods. The agreement dictated 600 trucks but the military occupation is not abiding to that to keep food prices high and also they mostly allow fizzy drinks and junk food to keep people malnourished."

  10. From the Sameer Project in South Gaza, Wednesday Oct. 15:

    $241,344 spent on 1.3 million liters of water, 19,250 meals and 26 tents in 10 days!

    "The ceasefire has finally been announced providing Palestinians in Gaza with a huge sense of relief and pure joy. Unfortunately the loss and grief shortly sat in and people are processing the magnitude of pain they have had to endure for two years.

    This is why the Sameer Project will keep going and keep providing relief and support to the Palestinians in Gaza for as long as needed. People have already started returning to the North and we would like to support them on their journey back on Rashid street by providing food and water."

  11. From the Sameer Project in North and Central Gaza: EMERGENCY MODE: North Gaza Needs Your Donations Now More Than Ever

    "Despite the waves of forced displacements from North Gaza, our team continues to provide essential aid to those who are steadfastly staying in Gaza city. We are still providing, on average, 200,000 liters of fresh water, 1000 family-sized meals, 160 packages of bread, amongst other initiatives like food packages and supporting both the Palestinian Civil Defense and Ambulance Services in the North.

    People need help surviving - we need to supply daily food and water for those who remain and it's getting extemely expensive to continue these services. Please donate to the campaign, we are running low on funds when we are needed the most."

  13. Latest update Refaat Alareer Camp:

    Tues. 26 Aug: Four new families, pastry-making class, women packages & much more!

    "It's been a busy few weeks at the Refaat Alareer camp with 4 new families moving in and an extension of the camp being set up. With the constant threats of the military occupation to displace people from the North to the South, the team decided to expand the camp to take in more patients and their families. We finished the fencing of the extension and are now securing toilets for the potential influx of people."

  16. "Everything we source, purchase, and provide is already in Gaza. But stocks are running out. This is why otherwise free medication and supplies are sold at exorbitant prices and must be searched for across numerous pharmacies and medical suppliers. We have the network of nurses and doctors to help us provide what others cant. This work should be done by large relief organizations and iNGOs but because of the difficulty operating in Gaza and since the borders are closed, many are rendered useless and it has fallen on The Sameer Project to fill the gaps left by them."

  25. The latest update from the contact person of Yasmeen and Moataz in Gaza. If you have anything to spare, any amount is very welcome.

    "We never want Moataz or Yasmeen to risk their lives by going to an american “aid distribution” site. As Deaf parents, they are even more vulnerable in such dangerous areas. Because of you they are able to avoid this and can afford the high prices in markets when supplies are available."

    Mensen kunnen ook o.a. zelf doneren aan Palestijnse 'mutual aid' groepen in Gaza die met veel inzet mensen nog van water, eten, en zelfs wat medische zorg kunnen voorzien:
    itsgoingdown.org/your-guide-on

    Ook hier op de Fediverse zijn er Palestijnen die geld inzamelen om op de zwarte markt voor heel veel geld nog wat voedsel voor hun families te kopen. Ondanks de honger en vernietiging zijn er nog steeds bijna 2 miljoen mensen die iedere dag vechten om te overleven.

  27. Boo hiss! Israel Seizes #AidFlotilla Bringing #BabyFormula, #Medicine to #Gaza

    The United Nations said this week the #Famine in Gaza has reached “new and astonishing levels of desperation”

    by Naomi LaChance, July 26, 2025

    "A civilian ship carrying aid to #Palestinians in Gaza was intercepted by the Israeli military in international waters on Saturday, the #FreedomFlotillaCoalition confirmed.

    "The #HandalaFlotilla was carrying baby formula, diapers, food, and medicine. The passengers were detained and the cargo was seized. The coalition said the boat was intercepted 'in international waters outside Palestinian territorial waters off Gaza, in violation of international maritime law.'

    " 'Israel has no legal authority to detain international civilians aboard the Handala,' Ann Wright, a member of the #FreedomFlotilla’s steering committee, said in a statement. 'This is not a matter of internal Israeli jurisdiction. These are foreign nationals operating under international law in international waters. Their detention is arbitrary, unlawful, and must end.'

    "This week, the United Nations’ World Food Program said the famine in Gaza has reached 'new and astonishing levels of desperation, with a third of the population not eating for multiple days in a row.' According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, there have been 40 hunger-related deaths this month.

    "More than 100 aid agencies and rights groups have warned of a '#MassStarvation' across Gaza."
