Summer is here and it’s really hot in Gaza reaching 30 degrees Celsius / 86 Fahrenheit. Now imagine that being a sick patient in a tent. Help now: chuffed.org/project/113327-r… That’s the case for many of the families in The Sameer Project camps and many cases get seizures due to the heat. We have multiple solar panels in our camps but they can’t provide fans for everyone, so our medical team assessed those most in need. The Sameer Project needs your support in purchasing fans for the families and money to fix some fans we already have. A fan approximately costs $525 for a new one (if found) and $280 for a used one. That’s aside from the prices for keeping the fans running. Please donate now to the Refaat Alareer Campaign to help us buy fans: chuffed.org/project/113327-r… Other ways to donate include: paypal.me/mahertali (Paypal option, please make sure to add a message saying "Camp") account.venmo.com/u/Maher-Al… (Venmo option, please make sure to add a message saying "Camp")

Most amputees in Gaza don’t have access to prosthetics. This leaves them struggling with limited mobility and in need of support from others all the time. Help now: chuffed.org/project/136892-m… The Sameer Project took medical cases like this to provide medication and food packages to. Recently we stopped taking these cases due to the lack of funds, even though the need remains super high. The medical system in Gaza collapsed and there are only a few hospitals operating. The military occupation barely allows any medication in and many of it is commercial so people need money to buy it. The struggle with medical care is the reason we have a Medical Campaign.

It’s also the small struggles in Gaza that accumulate and deplete the bodies. Carrying jerrycans of water, queuing for food, starting a fire, manually washing clothes and more. Help here: chuffed.org/project/113327-r… The videos coming out of Gaza typically show the killings and destruction but they don’t show the painful daily tasks. Women spend their day just trying to keep their tents clean and taking care of their children despite the obstacles. Three years in tents. We are coming up to 3 years and there is no clear end to this. The Sameer Project tries to provide some relief by providing good quality tents and water to our camps in Central Gaza.

Clean, clean, clean! Palestinians in Gaza are cleaning their streets with pride and hope that the genocide will end soon and we can start rebuilding Gaza. Support here: chuffed.org/project/113222-t… The news is infested with colonizers discussing taking over the land of Gaza. Meanwhile, Palestinians in Gaza are doing everything to survive and remain steadfast on our land. No amount of power and money changes the fact that we, Palestinians, are the indigenous people of the land. The Sameer Project and other groups got together on World Environment Day to clean streets and areas around landfills. This initiative is symbolic in many ways showing the unity and determination of Palestinians in Gaza.

Today during their distributions in Jabalia, The Sameer Project filmed the transfer of a woman who got injured after a wall fell on her. Half-demolished homes in Gaza are unsafe but unfortunately people don’t have a choice and live in them despite the dangers. The woman was transferred to Al Shifa Hospital in critical condition, we pray for her recovery. This is one of dozens of cases where people were killed or severely injured from homes collapsing on them. No caravans or rebuilding material is allowed in. The military occupation is slowly killing Palestinians in Gaza, and the world has turned a blind eye. Cases like this woman are not mentioned anywhere, Palestinian lives are cheap and irrelevant. May God protect our people in Gaza. The Sameer Project provides medical support for the wounded and sick in our medical points.

Storytelling is what we use to raise awareness and funds for Palestinians in Gaza but now people are exhausted from repeating themselves with no result.

They want the genocide to end. This video was filmed in Ghazza Al Ezza Camp in Gaza City on June 11th, where we gave out 90 kilos of Palestinian sweets. Total cost with 11% commission was $787.

One paper lists what is needed between life and death. The Sameer Project team gets hundreds of prescriptions per week and people pleading for support with medication. Please help here: chuffed.org/project/136892-m… The borders allow in a small amount of commercial trucks and even less aid trucks. So medication is in fact getting in but at high prices that most people can’t afford. The Sameer Project medical teams consists of doctors, nurses and pharmacists who do their best to serve our community in Gaza. However, our medical work will start to get reduced to the lack of funds. Again, a prescription is the difference between life and death, and our hearts are sinking at the idea that we might not be able to support with that.

A little test with some residents in Jabalia Camp shows the difference between fresh water and contaminated water. Sadly so many Palestinians in Gaza drink contaminated water due to the lack of consistent access to clean water. Help here: chuffed.org/project/help-us-… The Sameer Project provides 430,000 liters of fresh water everyday and we cover Jabalia daily. Our team checks the salinity of each truck before distribution and we also have surprise checks by other team members to make sure that we always serve high-quality water.

The Sameer Project is building a desalination plant and exploring partnerships with international organizations to provide more water.

Access to medication for patients with chronic illnesses is a HUGE issue in Gaza. So many camps suffer with access to medication because the military occupation barely allows any medication in and most of it is for commercial use so is sold for high prices. Support here: chuffed.org/project/136892-m… The Sameer Project does regular days for chronic illnesses to provide medication sourced from pharmacies and a partnership with MSF. Our average expenditure on medications for a chronic illness day is $1,200 - $1,500. On June 2nd, The Sameer Project medical team did a chronic illness day in Amana Camp in Khan Younis. These medical days are a huge relief for patients and we hope that we can continue them with your support. Our medical campaign has faced a large drop in donations so The Sameer Project is having to choose between stopping certain medical days and medical services that we provide. A choice that we shouldn’t be making as the need remains grave.

“We are living in a white shroud,” - Palestinians in Gaza. Urgent help needed: chuffed.org/project/help-us-… No words are left other than wishing death. That’s the situation in Gaza. We ran out of ways to express the gravity of the tragedy in Gaza, at a time where media barely mentions the ongoing genocide. The Sameer Project continues to provide water everyday. The reality is donations are decreasing and we might not be able to maintain 430,000 liters of fresh water per day. Mobilization to end the genocide is crucial but also material support is needed.
