After more than 1,000 days of genocide, families are not only facing bombardment, displacement, hunger, and the collapse of essential services - they are now watching the aid they relied upon disappear. Funding has dried up. Please help: chuffed.org/project/113222…. Humanitarian organizations are being forced to scale back or shut down programs. Community kitchens are closing. Medical services are shrinking. Food distributions are becoming less frequent. The needs have not diminished. The resources have. Is this the moment we abandon Gaza? After everything the Palestinian people have endured, is this how the world responds??? With silence, shrinking support, and a slow campaign of scarcity that leaves families without food, clean water, medicine, or hope? Here a father, Abdul, at Al-Amal Camp near Al-Emadi on the Gaza City seafront, speaks from the heart about the reality facing his community. His words are not his alone. Gaza is feeling left. The greatest danger is not only what is happening in Gaza. It is allowing ourselves to become accustomed to it. The Sameer Project cannot turn our backs now. Please stand with Gaza.

For someone living with diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, asthma, or another chronic illness, one visit is not enough. Support now: chuffed.org/project/136892… A single consultation or month of treatment cannot control a condition that requires medication every day, for months, for years. Without consistent treatment, manageable illnesses become medical emergencies. Our Mobile Medical Days bring doctors and medications directly to displacement camps where healthcare has all but disappeared. Here on July 1, we held a Medical Day at Al-Dira Camp in Northern Gaza as part of our Chronic Disease Campaign. Our doctors examined patients and dispensed their prescribed medications for free. Now we face our next challenge. Over the next three weeks, The Sameer Project needs approximately $20,000 to return to every camp we have already served during this campaign and provide patients with another month's supply of essential medications. Chronic disease doesn't wait. Neither can we. Help us provide this LIFESAVING treatment by donating to our Medical Campaign: chuffed.org/project/136892… Other ways to donate include: paypal.me/mahertali (Paypal option, please make sure to add a message saying "Medical") account.venmo.com/u/Maher-Ali (Venmo option, please make sure to add a message saying "Medical")

Displaced families are trying to survive in makeshift camps built beside roads and on the rubble of what were once their homes. The air is filled with dust, smoke from cooking fires, and toxins. Finding enough to eat is a daily struggle, with many relying entirely on community kitchens because there are simply no other options. Please help: chuffed.org/project/help-u… On July 2, The Sameer Project distributed 389 hot Thai style vegetable sandwiches at Al-Kadaheen Camp on Al-Ma'amal Street, North Gaza. This distribution cost $1,279 after 11% commission, providing hundreds of people with a nutritious meal at a time when food insecurity continues to worsen. Your support keeps our kitchens running and allows us to continue reaching communities that have been left with almost nothing and have gone through so much.

Come cook with us! Contribute to our summer camp: chuffed.org/project/113327… As theses children learn to make za'atar manakish, they are learning far more than a recipe. They are preserving culture, carrying forward memories of home, and protecting an identity that others have tried so hard to erase. This summer at the Hasan School in Refaat Alareer Camp, the teens in the camp gathered around dough, za'atar, and generations of Palestinian tradition. Palestinian cuisine tells the story of a people deeply connected to their land. Every handful of za'atar, every drizzle of olive oil, and every piece of freshly baked bread carries the traditions of parents, grandparents, and countless generations before them. Preserving culture is an act of resilience, and teaching the next generation these traditions is another way Palestinians continue to endure. Support our Hasan School, and all these students, by donating to the Refaat Alareer Camp link: chuffed.org/project/113327… Other ways to donate include: paypal.me/mahertali (Paypal option, please make sure to add a message saying "Camp") account.venmo.com/u/Maher-Ali (Venmo option, please make sure to add a message saying "Camp")

Everything was taken. Everything was destroyed and snatched away from families in Gaza. Their pasts erased, their present destroyed, and their future uncertain. They had homes and jobs, full lives. chuffed.org/project/help-u… Now the only stability they ask for is an expected visit from our water trucks, simple necessities.

Even in the heat of summer, with empty stomachs and the daily hardships of life in Gaza, these young students continue to gather to memorize the Quran. Their determination is extraordinary. Give to Gaza: chuffed.org/project/113222… In Gaza, where genocide has burdened people with fear, loss, displacement, and deprivation, the Quran remains a refuge, and faith remains deeply rooted in people’s hearts. When life closes in around them, they find spaciousness in the words of Allah. And when reality weighs heavily on their souls, they search within His verses for peace and strength. But learning requires nourishment. Something as simple as a piece of fruit can provide much needed vitamins, energy, and encouragement to keep going - but right now with the high prices in markets, this is a luxury many cannot afford. On June 28, The Sameer Project distributed 118 fresh fruit packages to the students in the Quran memorization circles at Al-Sadaqa Camp in Deir al-Balah. Each package contained peaches, plums, apples, apricots, and bananas, providing both nutrition and a boost in moral! The entire distribution cost just $241 after 11% commission. Small acts of kindness can have a meaningful impact, helping children continue to learn, memorize, and hold onto hope despite unimaginable circumstances. Support The Sameer Project as we continue to care for Gaza's children and their futures.

As much of the world is enduring a heatwave, families in Gaza are facing that same relentless heat without the one thing no one can survive without: water. Give to Gaza: chuffed.org/project/help-u… In the tents near Hamad Towers in Khan Younis, every day is a struggle to find enough clean water to drink, cook, and keep children alive. This is a daily fight for survival. Help The Sameer Project deliver clean water to those who have nowhere else to turn. Water is life, and right now, it is desperately needed.

Parents in Gaza carry unbelievable burdens, alone. Help here: chuffed.org/project/136892… Atta was diagnosed with autism before the genocide and, like many children with varying degrees of autism, he relied on specialized care and support. During the genocide he was also injured. Since then, the trauma of repeated displacement, bombardment, hunger, and the collapse of Gaza's healthcare and social support systems has taken a devastating toll. His condition has deteriorated. Atta has lost the ability to speak and now struggles to walk. His mother is raising him on her own. She is not only trying to keep him safe and fed, but also trying to replace services that no longer exist. The therapists, specialists, and support systems that once gave children like Atta a chance to thrive have been destroyed or are no longer accessible. Today, she is exhausted. Simply asking for help. Atta urgently needs medication, a proper mattress to protect his fragile body, and specialized food to meet his nutritional needs. The Sameer Project has had to stop responding to appeals for individual cases due to the lack of donations. How can we leave this mother and her son knowing their struggle?? Help us return to Atta and be able to help more cases that require extra care.

This week, The Sameer Project had to let go of 15 people, reduce most of the salaries of our team on the ground and switch some team members part-time. This is due to a HUGE drop in donations at a time where material support is extremely needed in Gaza. Urgent support is needed: chuffed.org/project/113222…

Children are dying from hunger. Mothers are miscarrying because their bodies no longer have enough nutrition to sustain a pregnancy. Newborn babies are dying within their first weeks of life because there is simply not enough food for them or their mothers. This is what starvation looks like. Support here: chuffed.org/project/help-u… The genocide is no longer measured by the bombs that fall but slow, deliberate deprivation. Through empty stomachs, weakened immune systems, untreated malnutrition, and the daily exhaustion of parents who have nothing left to feed their children. It is a drawn-out form of torture designed to break a population over time. On July 2, The Sameer Project distributed 131 vegetable and molokhia parcels to displaced families living in Tuyoor Al-Muhajirah Camp in Khan Younis. Each parcel contained tomatoes, cucumbers, potatoes, onions, eggplants, peppers, lemons, garlic, and fresh molokhia - food that provide vital nutrients to families who have been surviving on little more than flour and canned goods for months. The distribution cost $3,477 after 11% commission. Your support helps us bring nutritious food to families who are being deliberately deprived of it.

To the West is the sea. To the East is the occupation. Around them are the ruins of homes, overcrowded tents, and the daily struggle to survive. For Palestinians in Gaza, this is life under siege. Contribute to Gaza: chuffed.org/project/help-u… Every morning begins the same way: searching for water, searching for food, hoping to make it through another day. Hours are spent standing in lines, carrying heavy containers, and trying to provide for loved ones, only to wake up and repeat it all again tomorrow. No one should have to spend every waking moment fighting for the basic necessities of life. The Sameer Project continues to stand with families by delivering clean water where it is needed most. Your support helps turn another day of survival into hope.

Going to the barber means change. A new style, a fresh start. Give to Gaza: chuffed.org/project/113222… Listen to this child in Gaza expressing this sentiment. The desire for change. In a place where every day is defined by displacement, uncertainty, and the struggle to find food and water, life can feel painfully stagnant. The same tents. The same rubble. The same fight to survive. A simple haircut becomes something much bigger than grooming - it becomes a reminder that change is still possible, that tomorrow can possibly look different than today. For many of these children, this was the first haircut they had received in months. It offered a moment to smile, to feel seen, and to reclaim a small piece of childhood and dignity that the genocide has tried to take away. On June 28, The Sameer Project provided haircuts for 240 children at "For Gaza" Camp near Al-Azhar University. The Mobile Barbershop initiative cost just $185 after banking fees, proving that even a small act of care can make a profound difference in a child's life.

A newborn brings joy, hope, and dreams for the future. In Gaza today, too many parents welcome their babies into a world where even the most basic necessities like formula and diapers have become beyond reach. Give to Gaza: chuffed.org/project/113327… For families living in displacement camps, every diaper must be stretched, every tin of formula carefully rationed, and every day is another struggle to provide what their children need simply to survive. And similarly, parents caring for children with disabilities and special needs, the burden is even greater. At Refaat Al-Arair Camp, The Sameer Project distributed baby formula to 16 children and diapers to families caring for infants and children with additional needs. This initiative cost just $267 after 11% transfer fees, yet it provided immeasurable relief to parents carrying impossible responsibilities. Your support helps us stand beside these families, protecting the youngest lives in Gaza and ensuring that babies and children with the greatest needs are not forgotten.

Every chronic illness becomes more dangerous when healthcare disappears. Without regular access to medication, these illnesses quickly become life-threatening. Support now: chuffed.org/project/136892… Here, The Sameer Project held a Mobile Medical Day as part of our Chronic Disease Campaign. On June 2, we visited Al-Dahyan Shelter Center in Sheikh Radwan, where our doctor and nurse treated 63 patients who otherwise had nowhere to turn. While our medical staff costs just $129 for the day, the medications needed for patients average around $1,500 per camp. One medical day offers relief, but chronic disease requires ongoing care. And we need your help…over the next three weeks, we urgently need $20,000 to continue this campaign and return to the camps we have already served. Without this support, thousands of patients will be left to watch manageable illnesses become medical emergencies. Please help us reach these patients in need that anywhere else in the world would have care.

When community kitchens are not open, families in Gaza don't eat. Help here: chuffed.org/project/help-u…. It has become that simple, and that devastating. As more community kitchens are forced to close because of dwindling funding and lack of international support, thousands of parents wake up each morning not knowing where their children's next meal will come from. The World Food Program is closing. World Central Kitchen is closing. Where are the large scale NGOs that you might be donating to? More and more families are turning to The Sameer Project because there are simply fewer places left to go. On July 2, we distributed 389 Thai sandwiches with vegetables in Al-Kadaheen Camp for a total of $1,279 after commission. But one distribution is never enough. Tomorrow, those same families will need food again. The need is growing while the resources are shrinking.

According to a review by the United Nation’s OCHA, water production in Gaza fell by approximately 20% in May 2026 alone. Entering the summer months, the hottest months, when people are most in need of drinking water. chuffed.org/project/help-u… That’s why here in June, The Sameer Project continued to support communities in the Central and South area with 80,000 liters of fresh clean water daily.

Many camps get one water truck a week allowing them to fill a couple of jerrycans that are shared amongst the whole family for not only drinking but also washing dishes and clothes, and cooking, etc. The Sameer Project is aspiring to do more water trucks despite the difficulties and drop in donations.

Something as simple as washing clothes, cleaning dishes, or sweeping in a makeshift shelter has become an enormous challenge in Gaza. Help now: chuffed.org/project/113222… . For families living in displacement camps with limited water and almost no access to cleaning supplies, hygiene is about far more than comfort. It is about preventing disease, reducing infections, and preserving dignity in the midst of an ongoing manmade catastrophe. On June 16, The Sameer Project distributed 80 detergent parcels to 80 displaced families living in Jerusalem Camp, in Tal Al-Hawa, Gaza City. This initiative cost a total of $3,170 after 11% commission, with each hygiene and cleaning parcel filed with laundry detergent, dish soap, bar soap, a broom and other essentials costing $39 each. Every hygiene parcel helps families wash clothing, bedding, cooking utensils, and the small spaces they now are forced to call home. These basic supplies protect health, restore a sense of normalcy, and allow a mother, a wife, a husband, the children to feel like they have a well kept space. Your support makes distributions like these possible.

In every water distribution, there are people with injuries or disabilities who are forced to queue for hours and carry heavy jerrycans because there’s no one else to do it. Help here: chuffed.org/project/help-u…. Almost three years into genocide, Palestinians bodies in Gaza are exhausted and depleted. Securing basics takes up their whole day. This depletion is by design. The military occupation wants Palestinians in Gaza to give up and want to leave Gaza. But no amount of deprivation or slow killing will do that, and it is our role to fund the steadfastness of people and provide relief wherever and whenever we can. The Sameer Project was created to support people in resisting the military occupation and staying on our land. Providing water is providing life, and we will continue to distribute water everyday.

Here in the scorching hot summer heat, This mother spends her days baking over a clay oven, surrounded by smoke, earning just 15 shekels or about $5 per day, to care for her seven orphaned children. Support here: chuffed.org/project/help-u… She works beside an open flame in a tent because there are no safer options. Even with all that sacrifice, it is still not enough to feed her family. This is why The Sameer Project is working to bring our community kitchen back to full capacity. Before funding cuts due to low donations, we were serving thousands of hot meals every day. Now, as contributions have declined, we have been forced to reduce our operations while the need continues to grow. On June 21, we distributed 490 rice meals with vegetables to 110 families at Al-Amal Al-Emadi Camp in Gaza City. The entire distribution cost $789 after 11% commission fees. Risking health, safety, one’s life for $5 per day!? We must provide additional support.
