I am sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Ahmed. Ahmed is 22 years old, before this he was a student at the University College of Applied Science in multimedia. He lost his home and university. He’s helping his mother who had a heart attack before the war and needs weekly medicine. - ThreadSky

Thanks for sharing everyday. I can’t always donate but look forward to seeing these posts because you really humanize these lovely folks going through hard times and it’s commendable and gives me hope

Ahmed has social media in Gaza that predates the war, many unique photos and documents and is the brother of @odaisahar67.bsky.social whom I’ve shared before.

He was only recently able to set up a fundraiser and wants to be able to buy a new SIM card too so he can help his family more by posting ❤️

I have donated a lot to agencies in Gaza since 2023. I am concerned that donating to individuals in conditions of extreme resource scarcity might not be that helpful. My thinking is that at best, it allows an individual or family to buy something at a higher cost, contributing to inflation.

I wonder if anyone can help me understand how donating to individuals can help in this situation.

My view on this is it’s less about donating to help with the overall situation and more about recognizing your fellow human asking for help

This makes sense to me on a human level, but I can't get out of my head the idea that, the last bag of flour in Gaza will go to the individual with the best English, phone, and connectivity...

It’s not an unfounded worry but to me- there’s very little we can do here but let people know that we see them and believe them.

if you talk to palestinians, you can learn about how that aid never reached them.

Are you saying the World Central Kitchen never made a single loaf of bread?

130 million meals over 18 months when to have just two meals a day you would need four million meals every day

I'm saying you should speak to palestinians about it.
