My family must pay monthly rent to live in an apartment with walls that protect us from the cold — the most basic life we deserve. The last donation to our campaign was 5 days ago, and this now threatens our ability to pay rent. Please continue your support during this time:

A week ago, an Israeli woman joined my husband’s Palestinian Arabic class. In our registration form, we’ve never asked students about their nationality or background. Our focus has always been on teaching the language. As usual, my husband started the first class by introducing

As donations continue to decline, our campaign — like that of many families in Gaza — remains a lifeline, covering monthly rent and basic necessities. Despite the ceasefire, the reality on the ground has not changed. These conditions were imposed on us, and we are still living

I met my friend, the American journalist @dancohen3000, in Gaza in 2014 when he filmed the testimony of my grandmother Rahma, who witnessed the Nakba of 1948 firsthand. She was 20 at the time. She saw how the British expelled Palestinians and brought in Jews, towns invaded,
