Israel is setting up a complex system of checkpoints that will prevent men of “military age” from fleeing Rafah in preparation for its offensive on the southern Gaza border city, a senior western official familiar with Israel’s plans has told Middle East Eye on condition of anonymity. The checkpoints are designed to allow some women and children to leave Rafah ahead of an expected Israeli offensive, but unarmed, civilian Palestinian men will likely be separated from their families and remain trapped in Rafah during an expected Israeli assault. The previously unreported disclosure of Israel’s construction of a ring of checkpoints around Rafah underscores how Israel is pushing ahead with plans to attack the city where over one million displaced Palestinians are sheltering in tents and makeshift camps. The creation of gender-based checkpoints around Rafah would put a spotlight back on Israel’s practice of stripping and forcibly detaining male Palestinian men and children, as it faces rising scrutiny in the West of its conduct in the war. The rounding up of Palestinian males in Gaza and photographing them stripped to their underwear drew condemnation in December, with the US calling the images “deeply disturbing”. Relatives of many of the men photographed recognised them and said they had nothing to do with Hamas. Israel's military was later accused of staging footage of men surrounding weapons. “Israel considers every male a Hamas fighter until proven otherwise,” Abbas Dahouk, a former senior military advisor at the State Department and military attache in the Middle East told Middle East Eye. “It’s not a sound move. Cordoning Rafah is a daunting task and good luck separating fathers and sons from their families.”

In a press conference held by the Palestinian Civil Defence in Gaza earlier today, they confirmed that they estimate 10,000 missing people remain missing under the rubble and that, with their very limited means right now, in order to be able to locate and exhume these bodies, the operation could take up to three years. Until then, these 10,000 are not counted among the casualties.

As summer approaches, the trapped bodies are going to be a major source of illnesses and epidemics are expected to spread. Already, there are 20,000 cases of hepatitis in Gaza.

All of this of course is made infinitely more difficult by Israel blocking fuel from entering while it continues to target civil defence vehicles. As a matter of fact, Rafah now has only 3 functioning fire trucks according to a Palestinian Civil Defence spokesperson.

Columbia University students took over Hamilton Hall after the University’s refusal to divest from the State of Israel and complicity in the Genocide. Students have renamed Hamilton Hall to “Hind’s Hall” honouring 6 year old Hind Rajab, who was killed by the Israeli Defence Forces (IOF) after being the sole survivor of Israeli tank fire on the vehicle her family, of 6 other relatives, had fled in. Satellite imagery showed 3 tanks present in the area, countering the State of Israel’s claim that there was no military presence in the area at the time— the Washington Post later confirmed the satellite imagery and subsequent presence of Israeli tanks, disproving Israel’s claims. More on Hind Rajab here.

This occupation of Hind’s Hall (FKA Hamilton Hall) is reminiscent of Columbia’s history of student organisation, demonstrating and protesting— from rejecting the Vietnam War, to protesting War on Iraq. From AP: “When you’re going to Columbia, you know you’re going to an institution which has an honored place in the history of American protest,” said Mark Naison, professor of history and African & African American Studies at Fordham University and himself a participant in the 1968 demonstrations. “Whenever there is a movement, you know Columbia is going to be right there.”

Columbia University, and every student everywhere currently participating in encampment protests, you are apart of the future. Thank you for standing so strongly against injustice and inhumanity. Anti-Zionist Jews around the world stand with you.

Please help @/haneenatya. Their posts hardly get circulated except for their pinned one. Their gfm is vetted by a Palestinian blogger here. If one or two reblogs from you would get them to a larger audience. It might help.

Thank you. A new post will be published soon. In the mean time, here is the link:

Dr. Areej, Dr. Ahmad, and their child Sarra are a Gazan family who have been suffering from displacement, hunger, and lack of medical care throughout the genocide. Along with three other members of their family — Dr. Areej's mother and Dr. Ahmad's mother and father — they are seeking to evacuate to Egypt.

Please donate what you can and share. Donations have been slow — as of March 10, they have not yet raised even $2000. Can we try to raise at least $1000 in the next few days?

Please help me evacuate from G@za before they enter Rafah.

A Mother's Cry for Peace: Sahar's Escape from Gaza's Turmoil

Hello everyone,

Today, I want to share with you a story that is very personal to me, a story of resilience, hope, and the desperate need for change.

My name is Sahar, and I live in Gaza. I'm here to share with you the harsh reality of life in Gaza and the urgent need for my family to leave this war-torn land for a safer place.

Imagine living in a place where every day feels like a battle for survival. That's the reality for me, my husband, and our 4-year-old daughter. The war has taken everything from us - our home, our jobs, our sense of security. Now, we're left with nothing but uncertainty and fear.

We've endured multiple displacements within Gaza, each time narrowly escaping death. One particularly harrowing experience was being trapped for hours in a relative's building during relentless airstrikes. It's a miracle we survived, but the trauma of that day still haunts us.

My daughter, too young to understand the horrors of war, is plagued by nightmares and struggles to sleep at night. It breaks my heart to see her innocence shattered by the violence that surrounds us.

But amidst the despair, there is hope. With your support, we can leave Gaza and start anew. Your donations can help us secure passage to a safer place where we can rebuild our lives and give our daughter the future she deserves.

I urge you to donate whatever you can or share our story with your friends and family. Together, we can make a difference and give my family a chance at a better life.

Thank you for your kindness and compassion.

PALESTINIAN KUFIYA RAFFLE!!

I am raffling off TWO authentic kufiya’s from Palestine!! I know they are almost always sold out and I was generously sent 2, so I figured I would try to raffle them off and help a Gazan family at the same time 🤍🇵🇸

HOW TO ENTER:

Donate the equivalent of €10 (or more) to Hani’s gofundme! This is a vetted gofundme (and a friend of my dear Elios @fallahifag 🤍) and Hani needs help getting his family out of Gaza.

Once you donate send me proof of your donation and I’ll enter your username into the raffle.

EVERY €10 DONATED COUNTS AS AN ENTRY (so if you donate €10 that is one entry, €20 is two entries, etc)

My possibly out-of-reach goal is to not choose a winner until Hani’s gofundme reaches at least €10,000. I will reevaluate if that goal isn’t being reached in a reasonable amount of time. I will use a random generator to choose two winners- you must be comfortable enough to give me a name/address to mail it to if you win. It’ll basically just be first come first serve for who gets which kufiya.

Please keep donating and FREE PALESTINE 🤍🇵🇸

Another fundraiser I trust!

I've just had a long conversation with @haneenatya, I know a lot of people were asking me if she was a legit account and I couldn't fully answer before, but now I know for sure she is real and legit and this fundraiser has already been vetted before independently by this group on IG, and I got some proof myself as well.

This is a genuine fundraiser and a genuine tumblr account. Please help this family evacuate, they had a lot of hope of being able to restart their lives elsewhere. They have already lost more family members than most people reading this have in their entire extended family.

It will grow | Maen Hammad, 24 October 2023.

From the photographer: My Teta, the mother of apricots, always holds my hand as she tours me around her land allowing me to harvest eight decades of indigenous knowledge. I visited a few weeks ago, before being two checkpoints away meant total closure.

My Teta doesn't waste anything, you see. Months earlier, she had used the skin and seeds of a previous watermelon as compost for her lemongrass and sage. This watermelon is special. She saw the seed germinate and continued to nurture it as if it were one of her children.

For decades, the watermelon has stood as a symbol of Palestinian resistance. When the Israeli regime occupied the West Bank and Gaza, my Teta's land, they banned public display of the Palestinian flag. In response to facism, Palestinians used fruit. Carrying sliced watermelons during demonstrations as an expression of our liberation movement. The fruit's flesh and seeds mirror those of our flag, mirror those of our land.

Watermelon season passed months ago. However, my Teta doesn't waste anything, you see. It is dying and soon will become dehydrated from winter's siege. Its seeds will rest between pockets of red soil, but next harvest it will grow.

And it will grow.

And it will grow.

And it will grow.

Until our flag is raised on the sniper towers surrounding our towns, and this watermelon can return to become just simply, a fruit.

Mohammed is an engineer and founded the Gazan 3D printing company, Tashkeel3D. His contributions to the medical sector in Gaza have saved so many lives in light of Israel not allowing medical parts and equipment to enter Gaza during the years of blockade.

And right now he is under fire in the north of Gaza while his family is in the south. He needs help saving his life and the lives of his family as he is raising funds to get his family across the Rafah border.
