Ask Mahmoud and donate to help him evacuate and finish college!!
I was contacted by @ma7moudgaza directly, not only to boost his fundraiser, but also to extend a message:
If you have any questions about what's happening in Gaza and the situation from someone who is currently living there, I personally will be collecting your questions to my friend Mahmoud, who is currently living in Gaza. He will provide answers based on his firsthand experience. If there are relevant photos, Mahmoud will provide them and I will share them to you. Mahmoud hopes to provide a true picture of what people in Gaza are really facing, away from media perspectives.
You can ask via my ask box or in the comments, do not bother Mahmoud. Trolls or zionists will be blocked.
Mahmoud is just 20 years old, a third-year student at the College of Engineering and Information Technology. Currently, his campaign is at $5,019 CAD raised of $10,000 goal.
We still need $4,981 CAD (that's only $3646 USD needed!!) to help Mahmoud reach his goal!!
Mahmoud is twenty years old. read that again. he is TWENTY. literally younger than me. and younger than most of us. he is willing to answer questions and provide photos and videos of the current conditions the U.S. is subjecting Palestinians to, if it will mean magnified and maintained interest and passion for all of us to fight for Palestinian liberation. the least people like us living in the imperial core can do is listen, share, and donate whatever we can.

السلام عليكم
انا اياد من قطاع غزة
انا بحاجة ماسة لمساعدتي انا وعائلتي في نشر حملتي الجو فند مي
https://gofund.me/72ed7d71
To my followers! I've had a chat with Iyad and his fundraiser is completely legitimate! Please don't hesitate to donate, and it's so important to share. He and his family are currently in Deir al Balah and they're raising funds to support 10 people including Iyad as they have lost all their belongings and have no source of income for daily living expenses, especially as prices have grown very high in Gaza right now. His fundraiser has not yet gotten any funds with a goal of £60,000

Have you ever experienced seeing your dream broken in front of your eyes and not being able to do anything about it? Have you ever thought about living in a tent in a cold and unclean ocean, sleeping on the sand, without a bathroom or water? Have you thought about living in a place where you can’t meet your family’s basic needs and feel helpless about it?
I am Shahd from the southern Gaza Strip. All my life, I have been building a life for me and my family. It persisted in a good future, when the war in Gaza began on October 7, 2023. We were in extreme fear during the displacement, and found ourselves in an insufficient small tent. Despite the lack of safety, food, clean water and the spread of diseases, we had to live this difficult life under bombardment, knowing that at any moment, my family and I could lose our lives
My whole life has been scattered, and I am extremely frustrated and sad by the ongoing genocide I witness every day
Do you understand what it means to be in a situation where you have been displaced over and over again, just to reach the only supposed safe area that I ordered you to go to by a much stronger force than you as an unarmed civilian, just to be told that you can’t be there anymore? After you lose everything, like your home, your memories, your friends, your family and loved ones, your job, and everything you have worked hard to achieve...
Amid these hardships, I see a glimmer of hope, because I haven’t given up yet.
If you know of any organizations, associations or entrepreneurs who support and fund projects, please do not hesitate to share my association with them.
They can also contact me directly.
I know that the path to success after destruction can be difficult, but with your help and support for me and my family, I can start over...

Art donations needed to save a life!
URBC has put out an urgent call for artists to sign up to donate works - both digital and physical - to raise £5,000 for Sue.
Sue is a Black mom studying for her PhD in the UK who is dealing with a terminal illness and is now facing possible removal from the country no thanks to her university, which has unsurprisingly but evilly put her in this position during her serious complaint against her PhD advisor. Right now, Sue is on an organ donor list and working to test relatives as donors so that she can survive. If she is made to leave the UK, she will likely die due to the interrupted care and inadequate treatment for her condition in Nigeria.
The artwork will be listed as prizes for a raffle fundraiser starting next week. The money will go to the costs for indefinite leave to remain based on her health condition. A full breakdown is listed on her GFM.

🍉🇵🇸 eSims for Gaza masterpost 🇵🇸🍉
Which eSims are currently being called for?
Connecting Humanity is calling for:
Nomad (“regional Middle East” plan): code NOMEXPLORE15 for 10GB + (valid through 31 May)
Simly (“Palestine” and "Middle East" plans)
Mogo (“Israel” plan)
Gaza Online is calling for:
Holafly (“Israel” and “Egypt” plans): code HOLACNG
Nomad (“regional Middle East” plan): code NOMADCNG (can now be used multiple times from the same email)
Airalo (“Middle East and North Africa” plan)
Sparks (“Israel” plan)
Numero (“Egypt” plan)
For Connecting Humanity: if you sent an eSim more than two weeks ago and it is still valid and not yet activated, reply to the email in which you originally sent the eSim. To determine whether the eSim is still valid, scan the QR code with a smartphone; tap the yellow button that reads “Cellular plan”; when a screen comes up reading “Activate eSIM,” click the button that says “Continue.” If a message comes up reading “eSIM Cannot Be Added: This code is no longer valid. Contact your carrier for more information,” the eSim is activated, expired, or had an error in installation, and should not be sent. It is very important not to re-send invalid eSims, since people may walk several kilometers to access wifi to connect their eSims only to find out that they cannot be activated.
If a screen appears reading “Activate eSIM: An eSIM is ready to be activated” with a button asking you to “Continue,” do not click “Continue” to activate the eSim on your phone; exit out of the screen and reply to the email containing that QR code.
Be sure you're looking at the original post, as this will be continually updated. Any new instructions about replying to emails for specific types of unactivated plans will also appear here.
Check the notes of blackpearlblasts's eSim post, as well as fairuzfan's 'esim' tag, for referral and discount codes.
How do I purchase an eSim?
If you cannot download an app or manage an eSim yourself, send funds to Crips for eSims for Gaza (Visa; Mastercard; Paypal; AmEx; Canadian e-transfer), or to me (venmo @gothhabiba; paypal.me/Najia; cash app $NajiaK, with note “esims” or similar; check the notes of this post for updates on what I've purchased.)
You can purchase an eSim yourself using a mobile phone app, or on a desktop computer (with the exception of Simly, which does not have a desktop site). See this screenreader-accessible guide to purchasing an eSim through each of the five services that the Connecting Humanity team is calling for (Simly, Nomad, Mogo, Holafly, and Airalo).
Send a screenshot of the plan's QR code to [email protected]. Be sure to include the app used, the word "esim," the type of plan (when an app has more than one, aka "regional Middle East" versus "Palestine"), and the amount of data or time on the plan, in the subject line or body of your email.
Message me if you have any questions or if you need help purchasing an eSim through one of these apps.
If you’re going to be purchasing many eSims at once, see Jane Shi’s list of tips.
Which app should I use?
Try to buy an eSim from one of the apps that the team is currently calling for (see above).
If the team is calling for multiple apps:
Nomad is best in terms of data price, app navigability, and ability to top up when they are near expiry; but eSims must be stayed on top of, as you cannot top them up once the data has completely run out. Go into the app settings and make sure your "data usage" notifcations are turned on.
Simly Middle East plans cannot be topped up; Simly Palestine ones can. Unlike with Nomad, data can be topped up once it has completely run out.
Holafly has the most expensive data, and top-ups don't seem to work.
Mogo has the worst user interface in my opinion. It is difficult or impossible to see plan activation and usage.
How much data should I purchase?
Mirna el-Helbawi has been told that large families may all rely on the same plan for data (by setting up a hotspot). Some recipients of eSim plans may also be using them to upload video.
For those reasons I would recommend getting the largest plan you can afford for plans which cannot be topped up: namely, Simly "Middle East" plans, and Holafly plans (they say you can top them up, but I haven't heard of anyone who has gotten it to work yet).
For all other plans, get a relatively small amount of data (1-3 GB, a 3-day plan, etc.), and top up the plan with more data once it is activated. Go into the app’s settings and make sure low-data notifications are on, because a 1-GB eSIM can expire very quickly.
Is there anything else I need to do?
Check back regularly to see if the plan has been activated. Once it's been activated, check once a day to see if data is still being used, and how close the eSim is to running out of data or to expiring; make sure your notifications are on.
If the eSim hasn't been activated after three weeks or so, reply to the original email that you sent to Gaza eSims containing the QR code for that plan.
If you purchased the eSim through an app which has a policy of starting the countdown to auto-expiry a certain amount of time after the purchase of the eSim, rather than only upon activation (Nomad does this), then also reply to your original e-mail once you're within a few days of this date. If you're within 12 hours of that date, contact customer service and ask for a credit (not a refund) and use it to purchase and send another eSim.
How can I tell if my plan has been activated? How do I top up a plan?
The Connecting Humanity team recommends keeping your eSims topped up once they have been activated.
See this guide on how to tell if your plan has been activated, how to top up plans, and (for Nomad) how to tell when the auto-expiry will start. Keep topping up the eSim for as long as the data usage keeps ticking up. This keeps a person or family connected for longer, without the Connecting Humanity team having to go through another process of installing a new eSim.
If the data usage hasn't changed in a week or so, allow the plan to expire and purchase another one.
What if I can't afford a larger plan, or don't have time or money to keep topping up an eSim?
I have set up a pool of funds out of which to buy and top up eSims, which you can contribute to by sending funds to my venmo (@gothhabiba), PayPal (paypal.me/Najia), or cash app ($NajiaK) (with note “esims” or similar). Check the notes of this post for updates on what I've purchased, which plans are active, and how much data they've used.
Crips for eSims for Gaza also has a donation pool to purchase eSims and top them up.
Gaza Online (run by alumni of Gaza Sky Geeks) accepts monetary donations to purchase eSims as needed.
What if my eSim has not been activated, even after I replied to my email?
Make sure that the QR code you sent was a clear screenshot, and not a photo of a screen; and that you didn’t install the eSim on your own phone by scanning the QR code or clicking “install automatically."
Possible reasons for an eSim not having been activated include: it was given to a journalist as a back-up in case the plan they had activated expired or ran out of data; there was an error during installation or activation and the eSim could no longer be used; the eSim was installed, but not activated, and then Israeli bombings destroyed the phone, or forced someone to leave it behind.
An eSim that was sent but couldn’t be used is still part of an important effort and learning curve. Errors in installation, for example, are happening less often than they were in the beginning of the project.
Why should I purchase an eSim? Is there any proof that they work?
Israel is imposing near-constant communications blackouts on Gaza. The majority of the news that you are seeing come from Gaza is coming from people who are connected via eSim.
eSims also connect people to news. People are able to videochat with their family for the first time in months, to learn that their family members are still alive, to see their newborn children for the first time, and more, thanks to eSims.
Some of this sharing of news saves lives, as people have been able to flee or avoid areas under bombardment, or learn that they are on evacuation lists.
Why are different plans called for at different times?
Different eSims work in different areas of the Gaza Strip (and Egypt, where many refugees currently are). The team tries to keep a stockpile of each type of sim on hand.
Is there anything else I can do to help?
There is an urgent need for more eSims. Print out these posters and place them on bulletin boards, in local businesses, on telephone poles, or wherever people are likely to see them. Print out these foldable brochures to inform people about the initiative and distribute them at protests, cafes and restaurants, &c. Also feel free to make your own brochures using the wording from this post.
The Connecting Humanity team is very busy connecting people to eSims and don't often have time to answer questions. Check a few of Mirna El Helbawi's most recent tweets and see if anyone has commented with any questions that you can answer with the information in this post.

Hello,,
I'm Ahmed Alanqer, 34 years old, his wife Dina Alanqar, and their three children Zeina (7 years old), Eileen (6 years old), and Yamen (4 years old), have faced all the challenges brought by the war in Gaza, but now they need our help to escape this tragedy.

Ahmed worked as an accountant in a company, but with the escalation of the war, his professional life came to a halt, and his goods warehouse was burnt, along with his completely destroyed home. They fled to the north, but now they live in the tents of the displaced in Deir al-Balah.
- My Home Before The Nightmarish War
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
The situation is not easy, especially with his wife's upcoming childbirth and their fears of lack of healthcare and unhealthy conditions. Their children suffer from widespread diseases and long for their previous lives and schools.

- Tent-life
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Ahmed's goal is to leave the Gaza Strip to save his family's lives. The cost of travel for an adult is $5000, while the cost for each child is $2500, in addition to travel and accommodation expenses.
Together, we can provide support and assistance to Ahmed and his family in this ordeal. Your donation, no matter the size, can make a difference in the lives of these children who need a new chance to start over.

I’ve been speaking with Laila @lailashaqoura and she has asked me to help spread her family’s campaigns. Both of these campaigns are vetted and verified. The first campaign is for her immediate family, while the second is for her aunt and her extended family, which her cousin Tala @talanassar has been helping to spread. Their fundraisers have been progressing slowly but surely, but that isn’t fast enough. They’re currently only at about 10% of their goal. I’ve seen people do great work to help raise lots of money in a short amount of time when gofundme threatened to shut down a fundraiser. I would say we shouldn’t wait until it’s too late to rush a fundraiser to it’s goal, but the truth is, we already have. Laila sits in her tent as the tanks draw closer and the guns grow louder, and every day Israel drops missiles on the encampment of tents they once called a safe zone. Time has run up, and we have to hurry to do everything we can in order to help Laila and her family escape Gaza. Laila’s mother is pregnant and struggling heavily, and her aunt is battling cancer on top of a genocide. They need all they help you can offer. If you have anything to donate at all, a dollar, less than a dollar, donate it, if you have anything at all to cut out of your life, coffee treats you buy every day, video games you were planning to get, please consider cutting it out and donating or at least matching it and donating to the victims of the genocide that your tax dollars perpetuate. I’m offering artwork in exchange for reciepts of donations to these godundmes, below the cut. The account @creativesforpalestine is also offering artwork in exchange for donations to any Palestinian fundraisers, including these two. Any other artists that would like to offer artwork for donations to Laila and her family, please, DM me and I will @ you on this post.
Please, time is running out. Laila is an incredible young woman and her and her family deserve a chance to begin their lives again.
$4,392/$45,000
$5,232/$40,000

Hi, Najia
About topping up Nomad esims, in the guide it says that all I have to do it buy the top up and that's it. I have done that for one of the esims that have activated and it ran out today but the top up still hasn't been used. Does it not turn on automatically? Do I have to press something?
Tumblr media
Here's an old ss of the active esim
Tumblr media
And this is an ss of it after the data ran out today
[the asker followed up with "Nvmd it started working! Thank you for all your hard work in general tho! 💜"]
yeah, so this happens because Nomad doesn't add the top-up amount to the original eSim (so if, as here, you get a 5 GB eSim and then a 3 GB top-up, it won't read "8 GB"): instead, it replaces the "5 GB" marker with the new "3 GB" marker once the original 5 GB plan is used up and just the 3 GB top-up remains.
the reason it reads "plan not yet started" here is because the 5 GB plan has been all used up, but the 3 GB plan has not been started yet--the person connected to this esim just happened to pause in their data usage exactly at that point (or the original 5 GB plan expired / ran out of time, but you still had a top-up waiting).
the new 3 GB plan then started to read "active" again once they used a little bit more data, causing the top-up to activate. the top-up will always activate automatically as soon as the person connected uses any more data: there is nothing you need to do to activate it.
