DoomsdaysCW<p>Holding the Line in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gaza</span></a> – A Personal Update (March 9, 2025)</p><p>by <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HaniAlmadhoun" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HaniAlmadhoun</span></a>, Organizer of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GazaSoupKitchen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GazaSoupKitchen</span></a></p><p>"Hey Friends,</p><p>Wanted to check in with an update on what’s happening in Gaza and what we’ve been up to at the Gaza Soup Kitchen. Things are still unbelievably tough, but we’re keeping the fire going—literally and figuratively.</p><p>Food and Supplies – It’s Only Getting Harder</p><p>Food isn’t being allowed in, and essentials like vegetables and meat are nearly impossible to find. Many people haven’t seen fresh produce or protein in weeks. Restaurants are shutting down because they simply don’t have ingredients to cook with, and the exchange rate is climbing again, making everything even more expensive for people who have nothing left.</p><p>Even with all that, we’re still cooking every day. We’ve managed to keep going, and right now, we have enough food supplies to last about two more weeks. After that? We’ll figure it out, just like we always do. We may have to scale back food parcels, but we’re determined to keep meals coming. Chicken is likely off the menu—without widespread refrigeration, there’s no way to store it safely.</p><p>Here’s what we did just today:<br>✅ Cooked at all five of our locations<br>✅ Delivered 75 food boxes to struggling families<br>✅ Sent 150 meals to hospitals<br>✅ Distributed 10 containers of drinking water</p><p>Life for Displaced Families – No Relief in Sight</p><p>Nothing is improving for displaced families. They’re still living in tents that don’t protect them from the rain or the heat. Supplies are drying up, medicine is scarce, and hospitals are barely functioning. It’s a grinding crisis. People are resilient, but you can feel the exhaustion setting in.</p><p>I know that for many outside, Gaza isn’t in the headlines like it was before. People move on, news cycles shift, attention fades. But the suffering hasn’t stopped—<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Palestinians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Palestinians</span></a> are still being targeted, families are still struggling, and there’s no real ceasefire in place. We can’t afford to look away.</p><p>The Money Talk – Spending More Than We’re Bringing In</p><p>My displaced Palestinian accountant (yes, really) sent me a message after going through our February bank statement. His exact words? 'Hani, you’re spending way more than you brought in. Maybe slow it down?'</p><p>I told him straight up — 'Not happening.' The community doesn’t need us to slow down; they need us to keep going. We’re not reckless, but we’re preparing for Ramadan—stocking up food, keeping locations ready, and making sure we can feed as many people as possible in the weeks ahead.</p><p>What’s Next?</p><p>We need:<br>✔️ More aid to get through<br>✔️ Access to essential supplies<br>✔️ Rebuilding materials to be allowed in</p><p>Until that happens, we’ll keep cooking. We’re not stopping.</p><p>Thanks for standing with us—this is only possible because of you. Your support means the world, and I hope you know that. More soon.</p><p>Hani</p><p>P.S. Please know that I hate talking about money—I’d much rather focus on the impact we’re making. But just to give you a sense of how far your support goes:</p><p>$30 buys a food box for a family in need</p><p>$200 delivers drinking water to 200 families</p><p>$8 provides a nourishing meal to someone who hasn't eaten in days</p><p>$200 runs our medical point for an entire day, providing care and comfort to 70+ people</p><p>Every dollar counts and makes a real difference in the lives of those we’re trying to help. Your generosity is what keeps us going."</p><p>Donate:<br><a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/Hot-meals-in-gaza-daily" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">gofundme.com/f/Hot-meals-in-ga</span><span class="invisible">za-daily</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NorthGaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NorthGaza</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GazaAid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GazaAid</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GazaFundraisers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GazaFundraisers</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreePalestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreePalestine</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fundraisers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fundraisers</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FoodIsLife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WaterIsLife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GoFundMe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GoFundMe</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BeitLahiya" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BeitLahiya</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BaitLahiya" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BaitLahiya</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KhanYounes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KhanYounes</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Palestine</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Genocide</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Starvation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Starvation</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IsraeliWarCrimes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IsraeliWarCrimes</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NorthernGaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NorthernGaza</span></a> <br>Remember <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ChefMahmoud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChefMahmoud</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HumanRightsAreNeverWrong" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HumanRightsAreNeverWrong</span></a></p>
DoomsdaysCW<p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GazaSoupKitchen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GazaSoupKitchen</span></a>: Update on March 2, 2025 by <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HaniAlmadhoun" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HaniAlmadhoun</span></a>, Organizer</p><p>"Dear comrade,</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Ramadan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ramadan</span></a> is here, and all hands are on deck for the people of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gaza</span></a>.</p><p>Today:</p><p>✨ Five different locations that you support are serving hot meals, each offering at least two dishes and feeding 300+ families.</p><p>✨ We’ve been averaging 150 food boxes packed with essentials and groceries. I’ve been telling the team: buy what you can while you can—because sure enough, the Israelis announced they’re shutting the crossings and denying aid to Gaza. Prices shot up immediately, supplies are running low, and without refrigerators, fresh food like chicken and produce will spoil. Aid is free, but when it's denied, people will search for it.</p><p>Our team has stocked enough food for about ten days to sustain operations, meaning we’ll distribute even more food boxes until the market stabilizes. This morning, we dropped off 320 food boxes in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Jabalia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Jabalia</span></a>. Tomorrow, we’ll do more. This kind of planning only happens because you rally around us.</p><p>A well-staffed medical point is serving up to 100 patients daily, offering primary care, dental care, baby and elderly support, and physiotherapy—all working hand in hand to bring comfort in these incredibly difficult times. The clinic also provides essentials like baby formula and diapers for children, as well as free basic medicine for those who need it most.</p><p>Eight to ten water trucks are reaching different neighborhoods in North Gaza. Remember: no aid means no fuel, and no fuel means it’s harder to pump water from the ground.</p><p>60 care packages distributed daily to little kids, sometimes tjese jabe snacks, other times essential like cheeses and jams.</p><p>140 hot meals are being delivered daily to hospitals, nourishing both patients and the medical staff keeping people alive.</p><p>Our team is expanding, giving us more mobility to take on bigger tasks at lightning speed. Just yesterday, we secured 350 blankets and delivered them to tent communities within hours. We did the same with food boxes. The faster we move, the more people we reach.</p><p>But what truly weighs on me is the relentless scrutiny from voices—trolls, really—who comment on the food we serve as if a meal somehow erases the suffering. Every plate we prepare is a battle—to secure funds, to find ingredients, to cook in a place where even the basics are scarce. And yet, when we share a meal prepared with love, some use it as an excuse to deny the reality of Gaza.</p><p>We are more than our suffering, but our suffering is real. No amount of bad-faith arguments will change that.</p><p>None of this happens without your love, support, and generosity. You are part of this movement, and together, we are making a difference—one meal, one blanket, one act of care at a time. Thank you for standing with Gaza. ✨</p><p>P. S.

DoomsdaysCW<p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GazaSoupKitchen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GazaSoupKitchen</span></a>: Update on January 28, 2025 by <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HaniAlmadhoun" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HaniAlmadhoun</span></a>, Organizer</p><p>"Hi, Salaam, and hello everyone,</p><p>Thank you for your patience—I know I’m a few days late with this update, and I truly appreciate your understanding. It’s been an emotional roller coaster of a week, but off we go.</p><p>Despite the unbearable reality in Gaza, this week has given us rare moments of joy. We’ve seen heartwarming reunions—families hugging for the first time in 15 months, children embracing their parents, grandparents holding their grandkids. It’s a lot to process, but these moments remind us why we keep going.</p><p>At the same time, the harsh truth remains: most people returning to the north are finding their homes damaged or destroyed. Nine out of ten families come back to rubble, and yet, they return because Gaza is home. That’s why we’re shifting our operations northward, where traditionally 65% of Gaza’s population lived.</p><p>We’ve closed our two kitchens in the south, but in their place, we’ve distributed food parcels, snack packs, fresh produce, and meal kits—allowing families to cook for themselves. It’s been a meaningful way to serve, but our focus now is on the three operational soup kitchens in Gaza City.</p><p>1️⃣ <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BeachCamp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BeachCamp</span></a>: Originally planned for just another week, but the need is too great to close. Many of our crew members lost their homes in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BeitLahia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BeitLahia</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Jabalia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Jabalia</span></a>, and they’re staying near the kitchen to serve their community. We’re keeping it open to provide meals for up to 400 families daily.</p><p>2️⃣ <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AlNasr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AlNasr</span></a>: Quickly becoming a central hub, serving up to 300 families daily. Our team is working hard to manage the crowd and ensure meals reach as many as possible.</p><p>3️⃣ <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ArabBaptistHospital" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ArabBaptistHospital</span></a>: This kitchen has been delivering not just meals but dignity—serving items like kebabs, rice, and fresh sandwiches. The hospital even gave us a certificate of appreciation, a gesture that meant so much to our team.</p><p>Beyond food, water is critical. Without it, people can’t clean up, rebuild, or even stay in their neighborhoods. We’ve been delivering four water trucks a day to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NorthGaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NorthGaza</span></a>, and tomorrow will be our biggest push yet—aiming for 10 trucks. We’re urging all humanitarian actors to prioritize water delivery, especially to hard-to-reach areas like Jabalia.</p><p>We’re also working to establish a larger, permanent soup kitchen, likely in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Mashrua" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mashrua</span></a>, Beit Lahia. The only thing holding us back is logistics—our kitchen equipment is stuck in the south, and we haven’t yet found a way to transport it north. But we’ll get there.</p><p>And as always, we’re dreaming bigger. Maybe we can revive the school <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ChefMahmoud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChefMahmoud</span></a> started. Maybe we can expand our support for orphans. But for now, we’re focused on the essentials—food, water, shelter, and clothing.</p><p>None of this would be possible without you. You have given so much to Gaza, and you deserve a moment of joy, of celebration. Every meal served, every drop of water delivered, every family supported—it’s because of your generosity. So please, take a deep breath and know that your kindness is making a real, tangible difference. </p><p>Additionally, I had the chance to speak with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NPR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NPR</span></a>'s local affiliate about what gives me, as a Palestinian, a sense of community. It was such an uplifting conversation, and the Gaza Soup Kitchen took center stage—because of all of you and the incredible things we’ve accomplished together. Every step of the way, every smile, every bite, and every drop of water has been a testament to our collective effort.</p><p>With gratitude and appreciation,<br>Hani"</p><p><a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/Hot-meals-in-gaza-daily" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">gofundme.com/f/Hot-meals-in-ga</span><span class="invisible">za-daily</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Ceasefire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ceasefire</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Hope" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hope</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NorthGaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NorthGaza</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GazaAid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GazaAid</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GazaFundraisers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GazaFundraisers</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreePalestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreePalestine</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CeasefireNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CeasefireNow</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FoodIsLife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WaterIsLife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GoFundMe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GoFundMe</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BeitLahiya" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BeitLahiya</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BaitLahiya" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BaitLahiya</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KhanYounes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KhanYounes</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Palestine</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HumanRightsAreNeverWrong" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HumanRightsAreNeverWrong</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NorthernGaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NorthernGaza</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gaza</span></a></p>

Your love, generosity, and unwavering support have been felt deeply by the crew, the families, and the children who’ve benefitted from your kindness. Share these moments with your loved ones, because you’ve made a difference in ways that can’t be put into words.</p><p>As the ceasefire approaches, there’s a cautious sense of hope. The mood in Gaza is golden, though fragile. People are smiling, holding on to the possibility of peace, even as they navigate the shadows of loss. Your contributions are a testament to the power of love and solidarity.</p><p>---</p><p>Southern Gaza: Resilience in Action</p><p>Our southern teams have worked tirelessly to deliver aid while prioritizing safety.</p><p>Chicken and Rice: 120 families in Khan Younes received freshly prepared meals.</p><p>Fresh Fruits: A luxury just weeks ago, we distributed fruit bundles to 128 families—a moment of joy amidst chaos.</p><p>Food Parcels in Al Zawaydah: Over 200 parcels, filled with canned goods, jams, and cheeses, were distributed to families who needed them most.</p><p>With aid increasing, it’s no surprise that certain “organized criminals” have vanished—proof of their ties to forces trying to control resources.</p><p>---</p><p>Northern Gaza: Cooking Through the Chaos</p><p>In the north, our teams haven’t missed a beat:</p><p>Hospital Meals: Chef Kabar at Al Nasser broke new ground by adding almonds to meals, a moment of innovation and nutrition.</p><p>Beach Camp Kitchen: Chef Faten and her sons, Yousef and Mohamed, continue creating beautiful meals with love and determination.</p><p>‍ The Fantastic Four &amp;amp; Five Guys Teams: These kitchen heroes at Al Nasser have been unstoppable in their commitment to feeding families.</p><p>Even as the north remains unstable, two tent-city kitchens and a school-based location will continue to serve families and hospitals in dire need.</p><p>---</p><p>Water: Life-Saving and Essential</p><p>We’ve doubled our water delivery capacity, now transporting 4,000 liters per trip compared to the previous 2,500 liters.

While there’s talk of a ceasefire deal, I believe it’s little more than a gimmick—a distraction used to prolong suffering while giving political players the chance to pat themselves on the back. As the powerful negotiate in luxury, the people of Gaza endure relentless hardship—cold, hungry, and unsafe. Just my two cents.</p><p>Before diving into Gaza updates, I want to express solidarity with the people of California who are facing devastating wildfires. My heart goes out to those who have lost their homes and livelihoods.</p><p>Now, to the heart of the matter: the incredible work your generosity has made possible.</p><p>Soup Kitchens: Staying Strong</p><p>Our six soup kitchen locations remain fully operational, serving at capacity despite the immense challenges. We’ve also increased drinking water deliveries to six trucks daily, ensuring more families have access to clean water.</p><p>Here’s what’s happening across Gaza:</p><p>Khan Younes:<br>Crowds have grown significantly, and the team has stepped up, adding more pots to meet the need. Their food is delicious, their work tireless, and their photos uplifting. This location is now a hub of activity with three initiatives: the soup kitchen, the classroom, and the daily water deliveries. They’ve even added staff to enhance flavors and expand their impact.</p><p>Al Zawaydah:<br>This is our largest location, and the team here is nothing short of heroic. They cook every day, ensuring meals are hearty and nutritious by investing in extra vegetables. They’ve introduced a patron card system that guarantees meals while keeping capacity for new faces. It’s a well-oiled machine, driven by compassion.</p><p>Beach Camp:<br>Chef Faten and her team are doing wonders here. Five days a week, they bake savory pies, mini pizzas, sweet breads, and pastries. Fridays are reserved for rice dishes, a staple that also sustains three other locations in North Gaza, including the one providing meals for the Arab Baptist Hospital.</p><p>Al Shaikh Radwan:<br>Our northernmost location came under fire this week, with bullets landing alarmingly close to the cooking pots. It gave the crew a scare, but they soldiered on. Their courage inspires us all.</p><p>Hospital Deliveries:<br>Chef Kabar and his team prepare meals daily for the Arab Baptist Hospital, with Omar and Fatema ensuring these hot meals are delivered safely. Their dedication makes us so proud.</p><p>What’s Next?</p><p>I often ask myself: How can we do more? What else can we do? Sometimes we have answers; other times, we don’t. What’s certain is that our work remains critical. From distributing blankets, classroom supplies, to hygiene kits and care packages in both North and South Gaza, every dollar you donate is stretched to serve the community.</p><p>We need more resources, yes. And while moving funds into Gaza is a constant challenge, we persist, finding ways to get resources into the hands of our courageous crews who make all this magic happen.</p><p>How Can You Help?</p><p>Share and Engage: Social media platforms are slowing us down, and we need your help to amplify our stories. Share, engage, and tag us—it makes a bigger difference than you might think.</p><p>Boycott and Advocate: Support ethical companies and continue advocating for peace with justice.</p><p>Keep Gaza in Your Prayers: Your prayers and well wishes matter.</p><p>Thank you for being such incredible allies. Your generosity keeps the Gaza Soup Kitchen alive, and your support inspires us to keep going. Together, we’re making a tangible difference.</p><p>With gratitude and hope,<br>Hani<br>Gaza Soup Kitchen Team"</p><p>Read more / donate / share:<br><a

It's deeply troubling that, in 2025, we are still needed, and even more devastating that <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gaza</span></a> remains under relentless military assault. Just yesterday, 69 defenseless <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Palestinians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Palestinians</span></a> lost their lives to Israeli violence. Yet, we press on, because giving up is not an option.</p><p>"Our winterization efforts are expanding across Gaza through several initiatives. In <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NorthGaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NorthGaza</span></a>, we are distributing heavy blankets—updates on this will be shared later today on social media. Yesterday in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KhanYounes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KhanYounes</span></a>, we handed out hats and gloves to the students in our classroom led by Ms. Fatma. These small but crucial interventions are aimed at helping families cope with the brutal winter. Still, the images of people drenched and freezing in the rain are heart-wrenching, especially knowing that at least seven babies have succumbed to the cold. It’s overwhelming, but we refuse to stop. In addition to cooking daily meals—stews and soups—we’re challenging ourselves to find new ways to keep people warm. While we wish we could provide tents or tarps to shelter those most vulnerable, for now, we are focused on winter clothes and blankets. Each blanket costs about $40, and we’ve sourced the heaviest kind available. We also hope to find sleeping bags soon.</p><p>"Before diving into more updates, I want to share some exciting news.

Despite undeniable evidence, even from U.S. government reports acknowledging famine in North Gaza, influential figures like the U.S. ambassador to Israel have dismissed these truths. For us, the famine is not a distant statistic — it is our daily reality at the Gaza Soup Kitchen.</p><p>As the co-founder of this initiative, I witness firsthand the heart-wrenching struggles of families who come to our four locations in North Gaza seeking a hot meal. And while we stretch every resource to serve everyone who shows up, there are still times when we have to send people home empty-handed. It breaks our spirits — not only mine but also those of the chefs and volunteers, who feel this injustice deeply because they, too, live it.</p><p>But we refuse to stop. We expand because we must. This week alone, we added 150 families to our daily roster across North Gaza and Khan Younes. By simply adding more rice to our pots, we’ve been able to feed 25 additional families in one location.</p><p>As the year comes to a close, here’s where we stand:</p><p>North Gaza Operations: We now have four active locations: one in Beach Camp, one in Al Shaikh Radwan, and two in Al Naser. At one of the Al Naser kitchens, we prepare and deliver 140 meals daily for hospital patients, ensuring each meal serves at least two individuals. Families sheltering nearby also receive meals, and if a child shows up empty-handed, our chefs find a way to send them home with food.</p><p>Khan Younes Revival: Our Khan Younes kitchen has been reinvigorated, now serving over 200 families daily, primarily displaced families from Al Mawasy. The team has been working tirelessly to refine their operations, and their excitement is contagious. They also deliver water every morning, a vital service for the community.</p><p>Al Zawaydah Highlights: This week, the Al Zawaydah team introduced a new hot dish and prepared sahlab, a beloved winter drink made with cinnamon and coconut, for 300 children. Adults weren’t left out, and alongside the sahlab, the team served 525 hot meals, cementing this location as our largest operation.</p><p>All of this is possible because of you. Every day, we spend between $12,000 and $15,000 to sustain these efforts, ensuring families receive food and dignity. Beyond the daily meals, we also provide one-off food parcels to families in need, quietly addressing gaps where they arise.</p><p>This week, a significant stock donation of $25,000 reinforced our ability to dream big for Gaza. The donor's faith in our mission is humbling, and we’ve even developed tools for others to contribute stocks, opening new avenues for support.</p><p>To our incredible supporters: thank you. For 10 months, we have answered every call, served every meal, and shared every moment of hope because of your generosity. You’ve helped us make this year a little less unbearable for so many.</p><p>But let us not forget the context of our work. Beyond the soup and rice, my heart breaks with every story of a Palestinian journalist targeted, a physician attacked, or an influencer silenced. These stories keep me up at night. They ruin my days and weeks. But through it all, we must continue to find purpose, to act, to resist despair.</p><p>This is my purpose. Thank you for walking this journey with the late Chef Mahmoud and me, for believing in our work, and for spreading the word.</p><p>Take a moment to look at the pictures from the last 24 hours at the Gaza Soup Kitchen.

Right now, there’s no place more deserving of your time and generosity than Gaza, Palestine. Your unwavering support for the Gaza Soup Kitchen and the incredible helpers—both inside and outside Gaza—reminds us that humanity endures, even in the face of unimaginable challenges.</p><p>Every day, we see destruction and cruelty, but alongside it, there are moments of hope—moments made possible by people like you who refuse to give up. The Gaza Soup Kitchen began as a response to heartbreak, born from an inability to stand idly by. Since its launch earlier this year, we’ve been humbled by the scale of impact we’ve achieved together.</p><p>Looking back over the past 10 months, I often ask myself: Was it worth it? The answer lies in the faces of the children we’ve fed, the families we’ve supported, and the comfort we’ve provided amidst chaos. A meal for a child in March, food parcels in April, classrooms in May, formula for newborns, and so much more—these moments affirm why we do this work, despite the personal cost.</p><p>This Week’s Updates</p><p>1. Expanding to Gaza City Hospitals<br>This week, we launched a dedicated soup kitchen in Gaza City to provide meals to three major hospitals. So far, we’ve delivered 100–150 meals per day to hospitals like the Baptist Hospital and the Public Service Hospital. The gratitude from medical staff and patients has been overwhelming, and we’re determined to scale up to 500 meals daily. Tomorrow, we’ll prepare 250 meals, taking another step toward that goal.</p><p>These meals are delivered by Omar, Fatma, and Yousef, Chef Mahmoud’s children, who wear vests with his insignia. When people see the logo, they offer a small prayer for him—a touching reminder of the legacy we’re building together. This operation is led by Mama Samah, a local chef who has brought her expertise and warmth to this critical mission.</p><p>2. North Gaza Kitchens<br>In North Gaza, our three locations continue feeding up to 850 families daily. The largest serves 325 families, while the others serve 250–300 each. Despite their own fears and displacement, the crew shows up daily, cooking with heart and serving their neighbors with a smile. This area now has over 23 crew members, including a large number of women at our beach location.</p><p>3. Al Zawaydah Kitchen in the Middle Area<br>Our largest operation, located in Al Zawaydah, serves 550 families daily. This kitchen is the backbone of our efforts, though its high food costs and demand present challenges. Still, the team continues to innovate, delivering meals that nourish both the body and the spirit. This is also where Hamoudi, a young boy beloved by the community, often visits with his kittens—a reminder of resilience in even the toughest times.</p><p>4. Khan Younes Kitchen<br>In Khan Younes, we’ve transitioned to daily operations over the past week. Starting with 150 families, we now serve 225. The team has pledged to never turn anyone away, ensuring no one leaves empty-handed. With your help, we’ll sustain this location beyond its initial seed funding from Communities Connections UK, which will soon run out. Daily operations cost $1,000, and the five-member crew is committed to making every dollar count.</p><p>5. Additional Initiatives<br>Beyond meals, we’re delivering four truckloads of water daily to communities in desperate need, thanks to our partnership with flo.pure. Food parcels are also distributed when resources allow, ensuring families have access to essential supplies.</p><p>Looking Ahead</p><p>Our immediate goal is to increase hospital meals to 500 per day within the next week. Tomorrow, we’ll prepare 250 meals, pushing the limits of what’s possible with our current resources. With your continued support, I’m confident we can rise to this challenge.</p><p>A Personal Note</p><p>Next week, I’ll be traveling to Egypt to visit my sisters—one a permanent resident, the other recently medically evacuated. Thanks to the cheap seats I booked, I’ll also spend a few days recharging and reconnecting during my day long layovers with friends in Paris, Amsterdam, and Turkey before returning to continue our work in Gaza. Please let me know if you are near any of those places.</p><p>End-of-Year Appeal</p><p>As the year draws to a close, I hope you find time to rest and reflect. Donations to the Gaza Soup Kitchen are now tax-exempt in the U.S., and your support has never been more critical. The coming weeks are pivotal for Gaza and the Palestinian cause, and every contribution makes a difference.</p><p>Thank you for standing with us and for helping to keep hope alive in Gaza.</p><p>Warm regards,<br>Hani<br>Gaza Soup Kitchen</p><p><a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/Hot-meals-in-gaza-daily?viewupdates=1&amp;rcid=r01-173221650335-4b67c31ca83d11ef&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=customer&amp;utm_campaign=p_email%2B1137-update-supporters-v5b" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">gofundme.com/f/Hot-meals-in-ga</span><span class="invisible">za-daily?viewupdates=1&amp;rcid=r01-173221650335-4b67c31ca83d11ef&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=customer&amp;utm_campaign=p_email%2B1137-update-supporters-v5b</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NorthGaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NorthGaza</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IsraeliWarCrimes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IsraeliWarCrimes</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Starvation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Starvation</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GazaAid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GazaAid</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GazaFundraisers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GazaFundraisers</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreePalestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreePalestine</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CeasefireNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CeasefireNow</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FoodIsLife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WaterIsLife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GoFundMe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GoFundMe</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IsraelHumanRightsViolations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IsraelHumanRightsViolations</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StopArmingIsrael" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StopArmingIsrael</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WorldWarBibi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WorldWarBibi</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BeitLahiya" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BeitLahiya</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BaitLahiya" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BaitLahiya</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BibiIsAWarCriminal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BibiIsAWarCriminal</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Genocide</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GoFundMe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GoFundMe</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KhanYounes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KhanYounes</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Palestine</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HumanRightsAreNeverWrong" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HumanRightsAreNeverWrong</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NorthernGaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NorthernGaza</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gaza</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AlZawaydah" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AlZawaydah</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KamalAdwan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KamalAdwan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KamalAdwanHospital" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KamalAdwanHospital</span></a></p>

I’m so glad you’ve joined us, even during what has been an unimaginably difficult week for my family and me.</p><p>"Our Commitment to Gaza</p><p>"Let me begin by saying this: we are not going anywhere. Our kitchens remain fully operational, with three locations in North Gaza and two in the south. Every day, we serve thousands of families in need, and we are determined to continue this vital work.</p><p>"A Tragic Loss</p><p>"On Saturday, around 9:00 a.m. local time in Palestine, an Israeli drone targeted and assassinated my brother, Chef Muhammad. It’s almost unfathomable. A man whose only mission was to help others—a chef—was taken by an instrument of death. He wasn’t just a chef; he was a hero.</p><p>"At just 33 years old, Muhammad dedicated his life to supporting the people of North Gaza. He refused to leave despite immense danger, providing food, water, and essential supplies to his community. He loved and appreciated his life, honored his parents, was a good dad to his kids. Mahmoud even supported local hospitals with enough resources to sustain them for weeks. The things he has done has been already been acknowledged by the local community. Instead of awards and recognitions which he didn't seek, he got a missile meant tk kill bad guys not humanitarians like Mahmoud.</p><p>"He was detained multiple times by the Israeli army and always released immediately because he was a civilian, a humanitarian. So why was he targeted? Why was a chef deemed a threat? The loss is heartbreaking and senseless. But Muhammad died a hero, and we are incredibly proud of him.</p><p>"Media Efforts</p><p>"This week, I’ve done countless media interviews to share Muhammad’s story. While exhausting, it is a privilege to bring awareness to his legacy and the ongoing <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>genocide</span></a> in Gaza. We’ve spoken about him on platforms like <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DemocracyNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DemocracyNow</span></a>, Fox 5 DC, CNN, PBS, AJ+, and many more.

Hani?</p><p>HANI ALMADHOUN: Yes, rest in peace, Dr. Ahmed al-Kahlout. He’s a friend of the family. He’s our neighbor. He was killed exactly a day before Mahmoud. In fact, he gave my — he was able to give my brother painkillers, because my dad, who’s 72 years old, was hurt two weeks ago by Israeli quadcopter, and we couldn’t find painkillers. The doctor said he didn’t want anything. He asked if Mahmoud can do him a favor and get him tomato paste. Can you imagine this hero saving lives and can’t find tomato paste? And Mahmoud said, “I’ll find it for you.” And he went to the hospital, and boom, that day, the guy was assassinated. He’s the head of the intensive care unit.</p><p>Mahmoud has developed a friendship with Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, the hero doctor, solving problems for him. In fact, 10 days before Mahmoud’s assassination, he delivered filtered water for the hospital for their dialysis unit. Can you imagine a civilian figuring out how to deliver filtered water for the hospital, not just for drinking, but also to run the dialysis unit? You can’t imagine how important Mahmoud was for the hospital. The hospital already sent their condolences. They’re worried about lack of his support. In fact, yesterday the shipment of produce that Mahmoud ordered just got to the hospital. You know, they are out of fresh food. They’re eating pasta and rice that’s delivered by UNRWA and the World Health Organization.</p><p>But yesterday I was in a conference call with Dr. Hussam, and he said, “Out of the 50 items we need, these organizations are able to deliver six or seven,” and he’s frustrated because he’s not getting the help he needs. And, you know, I’ve met the doctors. They’re not seasoned by any measure. They’re just fresh out of medical school, trying their best, doing things that — even nurses in Gaza are doing operations now, because there’s nobody else to do these things. And it’s unfortunate we continue to do this.</p><p>And the cruelty, Amy, my brother survived this genocide for 420 days, and then he’s killed. And he was telling me the day before, “Hani, there might be good news. They’re talking about a ceasefire.” It’s one thing to be killed early in the war and not suffer as much, but he was killed toward, I hope, to be the tail end of it.</p><p>He does not deserve to be killed. And I inquire and I challenge the Israelis to publicly say why they targeted my brother. We have full confidence that he is the person we know. He’s a civilian dad who wanted to help his neighbors, and everybody knows him and supported him, and we pray for him.</p><p>But also, we want to make sure people there, you know, they can still do things. You know, why are they banning UNRWA? Why is the U.S. defunding the U.N. agency? This is no longer about October 7th and the horrors. This is about ethnically cleansing north of Gaza. The south is also facing starvations. We run a soup kitchen there. And we went from a $1,000 budget to $5,000 daily budget just to get people some rice, because food is not available. But we want to respond. Despite our pain, my cousins and nephews and sister-in-law is cooking for people in four out of the five soup kitchens we continue to run. We’re not going to close, because this is our family, this is our commitment. We don’t cook for people, we don’t eat ourselves.</p><p>This is not — and this is risky. You know, it should not be risky. It should not be an heroic act to get water to the hospital. And that’s why I remember the 230 UNRWA staff who were killed, and not just UNRWA. You’ve mentioned the Save the Children. You’ve mentioned other organizations who have lost their staff. And —</p><p>AMY GOODMAN: World Central Kitchen.</p><p>HANI ALMADHOUN: Yes, correct. And unfortunately that sometimes, you know, Israeli accusations run in the media as a fact, and that’s — nobody challenges whatever allegations are made, because, “OK, it’s good enough for me.” Nobody’s going to push back. And in the case of my brother, we’re pushing back as much as we can.</p><p>AMY GOODMAN: Finally, of course, you are not the only one who’s accusing Israel of ethnic cleansing. Israel’s former Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon has accused Israel of ethnic cleansing and committing war crimes in Gaza. He served as Netanyahu’s defense minister from 2013 to '16, made the accusations several times over television, including on one of Israel's biggest TV channels. This is what he said, and we’re going to end with your comment after this.</p><p> MOSHE YA’ALON: [translated] To occupy, to annex, to cleanse, ethnic cleansing, look at the northern Gaza Strip and settle a Jewish settlement. That’s the point. … There is no Beit Lahia. There is no Beit Hanoun. They are operating in Jabaliya and are essentially clearing the area of Arabs.</p><p>AMY GOODMAN: That’s Israel’s former Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon. Your final comments, Hani?</p><p>HANI ALMADHOUN: This is our reality. This is the horrors my family faced. We’ve lost our brother last November. He is a full-time civilian, and they killed our brother. This is the price to pay for standing where we were raised. This is the memory of the Nakba. We learned our lesson from our grandparents who were ethnically cleansed. And now we refuse to do the same. But unfortunately, when they kill so many of our family members, our family relocated still in north Gaza, standing by, hoping that somebody watching, somebody listening, somebody from our government will definitely develop a conscience and try to save our people. This is no longer a war against terror. This is a war against the civilians in Palestine, including Gaza.

The official death toll in Gaza is now over 44,000, although experts believe that is a vast undercount of the true figure. Israel’s onslaught has continued to kill medical and aid workers in recent days, including three people with World Central Kitchen, the head of the intensive care unit at Kamal Adwan Hospital, a staff member with Save the Children, as well as Mahmoud Almadhoun, who co-founded the Gaza Soup Kitchen that has fed Palestinians suffering hunger due to Israel’s blockade of vital food aid. Almadhoun was killed in an Israeli drone strike and is survived by seven children, including a newborn baby. His brother Hani Almadhoun joins Democracy Now! to discuss what he calls a targeted assassination.

A young relative was tragically killed by a quadcopter in North Gaza while crossing the street to charge his phone. My nephew Omar, just 14 years old, was severely injured and has been moved between six overwhelmed hospitals, each offering only part of what he needs—a bed, a medical device, or a specialist. He is alive, and we are thankful for that, but he has lost a kidney and is facing uncertainty about his eyesight.</p><p>"Despite these tragedies, the work must go on. In North Gaza, we run three active soup kitchens, with one temporarily closed:</p><p>1. Al Sheikh Radwan serves 300 families. Chef Mohamed and his six-person team not only prepare meals but also distribute water to families in need.</p><p>2. Beach Camp (Al Shati) began serving 120 families but has now grown to 300. Chef Faten and her incredible 12-member team ensure every meal is hearty and nourishing.</p><p>3. Al Naser Neighborhood is our newest location, currently serving 150 families with a small but determined crew of three. ‍Kt will probably grow by the end of next week.</p><p>"The closed kitchen, our first, is now dedicated to supporting Kamal Adwan Hospital with food, water, and produce deliveries, coordinated with the World Health Organization.</p><p>"In Khan Younes, we’ve stepped in to bake bread for families struggling to find or afford flour. Hundreds of large loaves were baked this week alone, easing some of the pressure for displaced families. Education also continues in Khan Younes, where Ms. Fatema’s classroom offers a sense of normalcy to children eager to learn, now in its sixth month.</p><p>"At Al Zawaydah, our largest location, we provide meals for over 600 families. Dishes like seasoned rice, zucchini and eggplant stews, and fresh-baked bread bring comfort amidst chaos. Children and families know they can count on us, even as displacement and uncertainty persist.</p><p>"I know many of us feel exhausted, and Lord knows I am too. The pace at which we’ve been working is unsustainable. ‍This week, I’ve spoken with the media, appeared on The Huffington Post and the Israeli publication Haaretz, and addressed staff at the World Bank who are interested in supporting humanitarian interventions. I feel small admitting my fatigue when my own parents live with one foot on this earth and the other in the unknown.</p><p>"But this isn’t the time to stop. We must continue. Every conversation, every effort makes a difference—even when we don’t see the impact right away. The change is there, rippling outward. ✨</p><p>"So, please, stay engaged. Keep talking, sharing, and supporting in any way you can. Your solidarity is a lifeline, not just for those directly affected but for all of us fighting to keep hope alive.</p><p>"Thank you for standing with us and for being part of this collective effort.

Here’s what's been happening:</p><p>North Gaza—Mashrou Bait Lahia and Kamal Adwan Hospital</p><p>"Due to severe safety concerns, the family in Mashrou Bait Lahia can no longer cook for Kamal Adwan Hospital. With many staff members fleeing, Chef Mahmoud, his family, and my parents are among the last five families still in the area. In response, Chef Mahmoud made a bold decision—he moved everything from our Gaza Soup Kitchen warehouse into the hospital. This included over four tons of food and supplies: canned goods, flour, rice, pasta, lentils, cooking oil, tomato paste, diapers, wipes, baby formula, blankets, children's clothes, and more. This crucial delivery will allow the hospital to feed its patients for the next few weeks.</p><p>"The hospital staff was deeply moved by the support; it was their first in-kind donation in 40 days. The head of the hospital, Dr. Husam, embraced Mahmoud, who has a special connection to this place—his baby daughter was born there just four days ago. A miracle amidst the chaos, though there's no official place to register her birth or even give her a name. To continue supporting, our crew will likely start cooking directly from inside the hospital. Meanwhile, my parents remain steadfast, even as we mourn the loss of 60 neighbors from a recent airstrike, including our own relatives.</p><p>Beach Camp—A New Location in North Gaza</p><p>"After relocating west of Gaza City, Chef Faten has set up a new operating kitchen in the Beach Camp area. Today marked the inaugural day, and it was heartwarming to see Chef Om Ahmad and others from our original location come together to help. They managed to cook for 200 families. It’s bittersweet—children lined up the moment they smelled the food. Thanks to the facilities at this new site, Chef Faten can act quickly and provide meals to those in need. Your support gives us the courage to open new locations and scale up existing ones. We are also expanding operations in the Al Shaikh Radwan neighborhood, which has now been running for two months, constantly increasing capacity.</p><p>"Al Zawaydah—Increasing Demand<br>In Al Zawaydah, the team is facing growing demand; about 50 more people show up daily. They currently serve 80% of those who come, and the situation is dire, with many families relying on our meals. Due to theft of aid by forces linked to the Israeli army (as reported by reputable sources like the Financial Times yesterday), we're making every effort to meet the increased needs. We've instructed the crew to hire more hands, acquire additional cooking pots, and aim to serve up to 90% of those seeking food by next week.</p><p>Khan Younes—Providing Essential Support</p><p>"In Khan Younes, our crew is distributing drinking water each morning, alongside delivering baby clothes for newborns—a small but impactful gesture. A sister charity has hired our team to cook for them in the coming days, providing some financial support. Additionally, Ms. Fatma's class in Khan Younes continues to run strong, offering some semblance of normalcy to the children. It's one of the coolest things we can do for the kids.</p><p>"Our drinking water distributions remain a priority, covering four areas throughout the Gaza Strip.</p><p>"For those asking how to help, donations are always welcome through this Gofundme community or our website. Every contribution goes directly to sustaining and expanding our work in Gaza for our Palestinian brothers and sisters.</p><p>"Thank you for standing with us. Your support keeps hope alive.</p><p>"Warm regards,<br>Hani<br>Gaza Soup Kitchen Team</p><p>"P. S. Down with the regimes that support this genocide, lie about it, and create these criminal conditions."</p><p><a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/Hot-meals-in-gaza-daily?viewupdates=1&amp;rcid=r01-173221650335-4b67c31ca83d11ef&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=customer&amp;utm_campaign=p_email%2B1137-update-supporters-v5b" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">gofundme.com/f/Hot-meals-in-ga</span><span class="invisible">za-daily?viewupdates=1&amp;rcid=r01-173221650335-4b67c31ca83d11ef&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=customer&amp;utm_campaign=p_email%2B1137-update-supporters-v5b</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NorthGaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NorthGaza</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IsraeliWarCrimes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IsraeliWarCrimes</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Starvation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Starvation</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GazaAid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GazaAid</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GazaFundraisers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GazaFundraisers</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreePalestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreePalestine</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CeasefireNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CeasefireNow</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FoodIsLife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WaterIsLife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GoFundMe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GoFundMe</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IsraelHumanRightsViolations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IsraelHumanRightsViolations</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StopArmingIsrael" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StopArmingIsrael</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WorldWarBibi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WorldWarBibi</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BeitLahiya" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BeitLahiya</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BaitLahiya" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BaitLahiya</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BibiIsAWarCriminal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BibiIsAWarCriminal</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Genocide</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GoFundMe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GoFundMe</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KhanYounes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KhanYounes</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Palestine</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HumanRightsAreNeverWrong" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HumanRightsAreNeverWrong</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NorthernGaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NorthernGaza</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gaza</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AlZawaydah" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AlZawaydah</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KamalAdwan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KamalAdwan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KamalAdwanHospital" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KamalAdwanHospital</span></a></p>
