The situation in Gaza right now is catastrophic to a level we are not even seeing bc all the journalists have been murdered. Donations for Sameer Project have plummeted at the time they need them most. Transporting one family south is costing thousands of dollars.
Schools have turned into shelters for the displaced in Gaza and even those are often bombed, donate: https://t.co/aqRXCbdfuv. Not a single place in Gaza is safe and there’s no such thing as a safe zone. 2,540 meals of rice were distributed by the Sameer Project on August 6th

Do not look at the amount raised and think they have enough. This is 2 years of genocide and the occupiers coordinate with their collaborators on the ground to keep prices high intentionally. They're spending every amount they receive to survive. Give them anything you can.

By donating to the spotlight campaign instead of choosing at random, you allow the donations to be spread out so our people don't have to constantly beg for your attention online, a dehumanizing act that no one should have to do, let alone under bombardment and starvation.

“Fadwa Touqan’s resistance poetry had such an impact that Moshe Dayan, commander of the Jerusalem front in the 1948 Arab-Israeli war said that Fadwa’s poetry was the equivalent of facing twenty enemy fighters” https://t.co/cmCX9OzIWv

For those of you waiting on the new anthology. It was already uploaded when one of the contributors decided that they needed to withdraw their work due to the press` stance on Palestine. Needless to say, this is no small ask at this point and it´s also more than disheartening.

Published last year in @overtlylit, my poem, "Proverbs 23:10," part of a series of golden shovels using biblical text. The verse: "Do not remove an ancient landmark or encroach on the fields of orphans." Christians who support Israel's genocide, I ask you to reflect.
