Children in Gaza are back to school but with tears on their faces. Their schools are old torn tents and they don’t have stationary to start the school year with. Please help: chuffed.org/project/113222-t… We also heard of children bullying each other because some wear the same outfit everyday, and others don’t have bagpacks. Even in genocide, there is inequity. The Sameer Project is collaborating with our partners Small Steps Project (@smallstepsdocs) to provide support to schools that started this week. We will provide stationary, bagpacks, shoes and more. This video was taken on September 15th in Aqsa Camp in Zawayde. The Sameer Project is looking to provide a large tent as well as stationary for the kids.

In collaboration with our partners at Small Steps Project (@smallstepsdocs), we were able to set up a new large tent and give stationary to the Majd Educational School in Deir El Balah, Gaza.

Reminder: the reason mutual aid groups exist is because so-called humanitarian organizations sit on large amounts of money while Palestinians in Gaza are in need of food, water, medication & so much more!

One of the biggest challenges in Gaza is trash! Support now: chuffed.org/project/113222-t… The municipalities are using temporary landfills for trash that are close to displacement camps. The military occupation designated more than half of Gaza as a “yellow zone” where people get shot if they go near that area. This yellow area is gradually increasing over time. The piles of trash are causing allergies and diseases amongst people in Gaza. In addition, the odors and rat infestations increase due to the piles of trash. On June 6th, the municipality of Gaza City and other groups gathered to help clean the area in unity.

Falling apart is a luxury. Not getting out of bed is a luxury. Breaking down is a luxury. Taking a break is a luxury. For single mothers in Gaza, caring for their children in genocide is a full time job with no breaks. Contribute to help vulnerable families: chuffed.org/project/help-us-… Supporting families of Palestinian hostages is something we would love to do more off at The Sameer Project. Mothers are struggling to make ends meet and a simple gesture like a food parcel would mean so much. Solidarity with Palestinian hostages can’t just be by slogans. We need to step up and support their families that are left with nothing. The Sameer Project continues its hostage initiative but we need your material support.

Eid shoes and chocolate distributed to children in Gaza, in collaboration with our partners at Small Steps Project! (@SmallStepsDocs) Support: chuffed.org/project/113222-t… On March 18th, The Sameer Project team distributed 100 pairs of shoes to the kids in Ansar Camp 4, Gaza City. Each shoe cost $20.35, including the 11% commission, so the total was $2,035 - paid by Small Steps Project. The chocolate cost $64 with commission. New outfits and shoes are commonly bought for the first day of Eid but unfortunately many parents in Gaza can’t buy that. So your support allowed us to provide Eid shoes with some games and chocolate as well!

Insects, rodents, raw sewage, contaminated water, overcrowding, and even wild animals. chuffed.org/project/136892-m…. These are some of the issues that are plaguing camps all over Gaza, but particularly in the dilapidated and destroyed North. And from these conditions arise even more problems…diseases, sicknesses, even viral and bacterial conditions that can lead to death. These Sameer Project believes that by solving some of these root causes of the problems Gaza is facing, then we can prevent more suffering. This is why we now have a medical committee, made up of our doctors and nurses and medical coordinators, that go from camp to camp and assess the situation. We then take this data and make recommendations such as providing more clean water, rebuilding bathrooms, building a trench for sewage water, pest control, cleaning up garbage, and more. Our team will then take action and follow through on what needs to be done. Improving the camp, and stopping the problems, thus preventing more pain. Support our Medical Campaign as we survey Gaza’s most undeserved camps to help.

Just a couple of nights ago, yet ANOTHER baby died from hypothermia. Unable to withstand the freezing cold temperatures in the family’s tent. chuffed.org/project/149178-s…. These are tragic and preventable deaths. Tents are not made to withstand the rain and wind and certainly do not insulate to provide warmth during the winter. Families need proper structures to keep warm, so more babies do not die. To combat the cold given the current situation in tents, The Sameer Project has been focusing on distributions warm baby and children’s clothings. With our partner @smallstepsproject, we provided 62 ultra warm and lined baby onsies to Aslan Camp in North Gaza. These zip up suits cost almost $15 and are waterproof and have a hood for ultimate protection. The distribution at this location cost $860 after 9% commission (the purchase was in December before the commission raised), and we bought many more to give out.

If you watch closely in most of our videos, in so many other’s videos showing life in Gaza, you’ll notice it seems like nearly half the children are walking around barefoot. chuffed.org/project/149178-s…. In the cold, on the rubble, through the flooding when it rains, they do not have protective footwear. During the winter they need waterproof sneakers and boots to keep them warm and to protect them from stepping on sharp objects or from getting skin rashes from the sewage water or chemicals in the rain runoff. On December 31, Translating Falasteen (@translatingpal) x The Sameer Project provided 200 sturdy shoes to children in Al-Taawun Camp, North Gaza. Each pair of shoes cost around $14 and we sized them according to the children’s needs. The total cost of the distribution was $2,770 including 9% commission.
