This morning, during our verification call with Diyaa (@DiaaMahmoud097), we heard some shocking news about his brother.

This is the reality of Palestinians facing genocide at the hands of Israel in Gaza.

Please help Diyaa, who needs an operation on his leg (and had to skip his appointment two days ago as he has to take care of his extended family of nine).

Also, can you see in the video? Aseel is in her new apartment. No longer in a tent.

Thanks to 17 patrons from the fediverse who are paying her family’s rent every month.

It was so wonderful to see her happy face this morning. “I even have my own room… with a door… that I can shut.” Broke my fucking heart.

I love you folks.

@aral
I was very happy for Aseel…
She has wonderful friends who care about her🤍
I wish I had that too.😔
I wish there could be an apartment for my four children.
We sleep while water surrounds us from every side, inside and outside.
I wish this nightmare would end.
To wake up and find your pillow soaked with water, not knowing what to do…
This is very exhausting.
Congratulations, Aseel. I wish you the best always

@aral I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your support and concern 🙏🤍 Your presence during this difficult time means so much to me and gives me hope to persevere despite everything.

I really need this surgery, and postponing it was very hard for me, but my responsibilities towards my family were greater. Your support, whether through prayers, sharing, or assistance, makes a real difference in my life.

Thank you for being by my side… I will never forget this support 🤲💔

I'm so sorry, @DiaaMahmoud097. 💔 I can only pray that your brother is soon released from prison. I'm horrified. It's so awful what you have to ensure. 😭
