They are surrounded: tanks are just a block away , drones hover above , and airstrikes fall around them . Some neighbors have fled, but others remain, knowing there is truly no safe place in Gaza. They’ve chosen to stay on their own land—familiar, precious ground—so that, if the worst happens, those who care for them can lay them to rest with dignity. Medicine and food are blocked, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/hospitals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hospitals</span></a> like <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Kamal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kamal</span></a> dwan, where we once delivered meals, have been forced to shut down. This is not complicated; it’s a textbook <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>genocide</span></a>.</p><p>"Three days ago, Chef Mahmoud was at a health clinic when an Israeli tank rolled in , sending everyone — firefighters, civil defense, everyone — scrambling for cover. It’s constant chaos and injustice without relief, but I know you’ve seen these grim updates. Let me share what we’re still managing to do amid all this.</p><p>"In North Gaza’s Al Shaikh Radwan neighborhood, our makeshift kitchen has been running for three weeks, serving 300 families hot meals daily . My brother Mohamed, 'the man with the mustache,' is managing one of the only humanitarian efforts still standing in North Gaza. He prepares pasta or rice and delivers drinking water to shelters every day. As new families arrive each morning, he scales up, adding more to meet the rising demand. No new food has entered Gaza since October, and sourcing supplies has become a relentless struggle.</p><p>"In Al Zawaydah in Gaza's middle area, our team continues to cook for displaced families, despite their worry for loved ones in the north. Just yesterday, they made Sumaqya—a hearty dish that brings a bit of comfort. The need in this area is overwhelming, but we show up every day, cooking with love despite the pain, worries, and vulnerability that we all feel deeply .</p><p>"In <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KhanYounes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KhanYounes</span></a>, our team prepared rice pudding for children—a nostalgic treat that brought some smiles. This shelter also serves as a makeshift classroom, where Ms. Fatema teaches, creating a little glimmer of hope for the kids.</p><p>"Two harsh realities: first, with minimal aid allowed in, food prices have soared tenfold , and more families turn to our kitchens in desperation. Second, as the crisis intensifies, money transfer fees into <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gaza</span></a> climb higher, draining our already stretched resources. Still, we do our best to keep our doors open and reach everyone we can.</p><p>"Meanwhile, I’m in the Netherlands, speaking at a conference on the politicization of aid . There are over a thousand changemakers and leaders here, and I’ve raised the issue of our sector’s silence on Gaza. Many avoid addressing it honestly, not wanting to upset certain donors. But I continue to advocate for my family and all <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Palestinians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Palestinians</span></a>, and I hope you do, too.</p><p>"Don’t lose hope ; even a small act of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mercy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mercy</span></a>, a bit of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/justice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>justice</span></a>, can make a difference.</p><p>Hani</p><p>"P.S.
