Aral Balkan<p>I just had a video conversation on Signal with Nouran (<span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@NouranKhaledGh" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>NouranKhaledGh</span></a></span>) and her brother Yousef from Gaza.</p><p>Their family is one of countless ones in Palestine who are still alive but unsure of what tomorrow is going to bring. Last night was especially tough with Israel’s renewed bombing. Yousef told me that at least they are still in their own home and that if they’re ordered by Israel to evacuate again that they will not leave what little they have left. He told me “we will die here”.</p><p>Please don’t let Nouran, Yousef, and their family die.</p><p>We must keep protesting, keep pressuring our governments until they take definitive action to stop Israel’s genocide.</p><p>And also, please help Nouran and her family survive in the interim by donating to their campaign:</p><p><a href="https://chuffed.org/project/121561-urgent-help-for-ahmads-family" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">chuffed.org/project/121561-urg</span><span class="invisible">ent-help-for-ahmads-family</span></a></p><p>Your donations help them buy food to eat as Israel continues to starve Gaza.</p><p>Even if you cannot help financially right now, please boost this to help spread the word.</p><p>Thank you!</p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/palestine" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>palestine</span></a></span> </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/Palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Palestine</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Gaza</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/aid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>aid</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/fediAid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fediAid</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/FreePalestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreePalestine</span></a></p>
