Hot meals 4 Starved #Palestinian Kids in #NorthGaza

"Thank you for being here with us and standing in solidarity. It's deeply troubling that, in 2025, we are still needed, and even more devastating that #Gaza remains under relentless military assault. Just yesterday, 69 defenseless #Palestinians lost their lives to Israeli violence. Yet, we press on, because giving up is not an option.

"Our winterization efforts are expanding across Gaza through several initiatives. In #NorthGaza, we are distributing heavy blankets—updates on this will be shared later today on social media. Yesterday in #KhanYounes, 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.

"Before diving into more updates, I want to share some exciting news. Slate Magazine just published a podcast interview with me, where I talk about #UNRWA, the #GazaSoupKitchen, and #ChefMahmoud’s inspiring contributions. I hope you get a chance to give it a listen—it’s a glimpse into the work we’re doing and the people behind it."

"Salam, welcome and hello everyone,

"I hope you’re doing well. As I prepare to leave for Atlanta, where we have a major event coming up, I reflect on the significance of raising awareness and funds for Palestine. It’s hard to believe how often we crisscross the country for this cause, but it’s always worth it—it’s a calling. This work, though increasingly difficult, is fueled by the resilience of our people and the steadfast support from allies who have faced these conditions for more than 75 years. You, too, are a part of this marathon for justice, not a sprint, and for that, I thank you.

"Currently, I haven’t been able to reach my family for five days. The Israeli military is conducting a heavy campaign in #NorthGaza, not far from where my parents live. The constant sound of #bombs, #drones, and explosions has become their grim reality. #Hospitals are under siege, and patients, particularly infants in incubators, are left behind. This is the third military campaign in North Gaza in less than a year, and it’s clear that these actions are part of a calculated effort to depopulate the region. But make no mistake—my family and neighbors have no intention of leaving.

"Even amid these horrific circumstances, they choose to stay, preferring to face whatever comes with dignity in their own community.

"In #SouthGaza, prices for basic necessities have tripled, and our kitchen in Al Zawaydah is stretched to its limits. Today, we prepared Romanya, a beloved dish with tahini, eggplant, and bits of meat. Though our budget has doubled, and pots are hard to come by, we pledge to serve more people as long as we can secure the resources.

"Our water deliveries continue—five trucks daily across North Gaza, Khan Younes, and the middle region. These deliveries are lifesaving for tens of thousands of families. In Khan Younes, we brighten the days of displaced children by handing out breakfast pastries and running our classroom, where Ms. Fatma teaches English and serves snacks to eager students. We’ve also distributed olive pickling kits as part of the harvest tradition, keeping hope alive in the face of overwhelming hardship.

"In North Gaza, we’ve had to close both the #school and #SoupKitchen for safety reasons. However, our clinic remains open, treating 30–50 people daily, especially with Kamal Adwan Hospital under siege. My brother Mohamed continues relief efforts in Al Sheikh Radwan, delivering water, bread, and ready-to-eat meals to schools turned shelters. He’s supported by his children, Anas, Hany, and Mai, ensuring we help as many as possible despite the dangerous conditions."
