If you're in San Francisco this event will surely be brilliant.

We delivered 80,500 liters of fresh water across North Gaza 🧵(1/5) The water crisis in North Gaza continues as most wells and water infrastructure have been completely destroyed by the Israeli occupation. As a result, families across Gaza City, Jabalia, and Beit Lahia remain fully dependent on water trucks for survival. Despite this overwhelming demand, international aid organizations and states have failed to provide concrete solutions to resolve this issue. To fill the gap, our team at Translating Falasteen @translatingpal x The Sameer Project North campaign worked tirelessly yesterday 02.02.2025 to distribute 80,500 liters of fresh water to multiple areas across the north using 13 different trucks. Water Distribution Locations: In Gaza City: Al-Khour Roundabout, in Tal Al Hawa – 5,000 liters School center, Tal al-Hawa – 5,000 liters Dar Al Arkam School in al-Tufah – 6,000 liters Dar Al Arkam School in al-Tufah – 6,000 liters Yaffa Street in al-Tufah – 6,000 liters al-Beltaji neighborhood (al-Shujaiyah) – 7,000 liters al-Beltaji neighborhood (al-Shujaiyah) – 5,000 liters al-Beltaji neighborhood (al-Shujaiyah) – 5,000 liters (2nd load) al-Shaaf area – 4,000 liters al-Zaytoun – 4,000 liters Sheikh Radwan Street – 5,000 liters Beit Lahia: Beit Lahia al-Shayma' school area – 4,500 liters Beit Lahia - Abbas Kilani area – 3,000 liters Beit Lahia - Al-Maydan roundabout – 5,000 liters Jablia: Jabalia camp – 5,000 liters Jablia al-Etisalat area – 5,000 liters Thank you everyone for donating to the Translating Falasteen @translatingpal x The Sameer Project North Campaign To donate to the North and view the cost breakdowns and daily updates visit the Chuffed Link: chuffed.org/project/help-u… Or other options include: paypal.me/mahertali (Paypal option, please make sure to add a message saying "North of Gaza aid") account.venmo.com/u/Maher-Ali (Venmo option, please make sure to add a message saying "North of Gaza aid") Below are the rest of the deliveries in groups of 4 - in this post is a delivery to Beit Lahia in the Abbas Kilani area.

📚 [NEW BOOK] 📖 Coming soon: a new anthology co-edited by TMR editors @HalasaMalu and @JordanElgrably “Sumūd: A New Palestinian Reader” launches Jan 21st! Published by @7storiespress. The Arabic word sumūd is often loosely translated as “steadfastness” or “standing fast.” It is, above all, a Palestinian cultural value of everyday perseverance in the face of Israeli occupation. Sumūd is both a personal and collective commitment; people determine their own lives, despite the environment of constant oppressions imposed upon them. “Sumūd” is an anthology that celebrates the power of culture in Palestinian resistance, with selections of memoir, short stories, essays, book reviews, personal narrative, poetry, and art from The Markaz Review. The essays, stories, poetry, art and personal narrative collected in "Sumūd: A New Palestinian Reader" is a rich riposte to those who would denigrate Palestinians’ aspirations for a homeland. It also serves as a timely reminder of culture’s power and importance during occupation and war. 🔗 Learn more and pre-order now: bit.ly/tmr-books Featuring contributions by: Ahed Tamimi (@AhedTamimi5), Ilan Papé (@pappe54), Tahrir Hamdi (@HamdiTahrir), Hossam Madhoun, Sara Roy, Ivar Ekeland, Khalil Rabah, Mosab Abu Toha (@MosabAbuToha), Taysir Batnaji (@taysir_batniji), Saleem Haddad (@sysh), Karim Kattan, Olivia Snaije (@oliviasnaije), Ahmed Twaij (@twaiji), Ahmed Masoud (@masoud_ahmed), Noor Hindi (@MyNrhindi), Samir Harb, Layla Alammar (@Layla_AlAmmar), Eman Quotah (@EQuotah), Maya Abu Al-Hayyat, Dena Takruri (@Dena), Mohammed Sabaaneh (@Sabaaneh), Zeina Azzam (@zeina3azzam), Diane Shammas (@lebanesedynamo), Saeed Taji Farouky (@saeedtaji), Adam Broomberg (@AdamBroomberg), Rafael Gonzalez, Raja Shehadeh, Jo Glanville (@joglanville1), Haneen Nazzal, Mohammed El-Kurd (@m7mdkurd), Rana Salman, Fadi Quran (@fadiquran), Chloé Benoist (@chloebenoist), Rula Halawani, Brett Kline, Fadi Kattan (@fadikattan), Nora Ounnas Leroy, Ahmad Almallah (@Abuhmeddi), Raeda Saadeh, Maurice Ebileeni (@Mebileeni), Nawal Qasim Baidoun, Tayseer Barakat, Jenine Abboushi, Heba Tannous, Yousef M.

We have also noticed a dramatic decrease in the amount people are donating to attend our workshops. Palestinians have to rebuild their entire society. They are returning to lands without homes. We need to be working even harder to get them money!!

Ruaa & Abdalkarim are a couple I got to know through Gazan Doctor Haya Hijazi. Their family in Gaza are in dire need of food, clean water, medicine & winter supplies. We’re sadly getting few to no donations. Please share and support if you’re able gofundme.com/f/help-ruaa-fr…

People in Gaza woke up this morning to heavy rain drowning their tents and the streets. Everyone is running around trying to collect some sand and rocks to keep the tents from flying. Most tents are leaking causing people’s blankets and few belongings to get soaked. Staying dry is a luxury for a few in Gaza right now. Our team has been working hard since the early morning to secure the tents in Refaat Alareer camp and another group went out with 50 tarps to set them up on the street near the beach. These tents are not a part of any camp and barely get any support. Donate to the South campaign, so we can help more people: chuffed.org/project/113222…

The images of babies frozen to death over the last few nights have been beyond heartbreaking. So we’ve been thinking of different ideas to avoid that from happening again. Noor from the Refaat Alareer camp bought a sewing machine today and will use torn cloth from the market that she’ll wash with the other ladies in the camp to make onesies. We are also working with a pediatrician on a contextualized brochure in Arabic with tips and advise on how to keep babies warm. We will print those and distribute them with the onesies. Our team is also looking for gloves and hats for babies as babies can lose a third of their body heat from their head. The onesie in the photo is made by her for her baby Nooh who’s in the Refaat Alareer camp ❤️ Please donate to the South campaign to support us in making as many onesies as possible: chuffed.org/project/113222…
