Hello everyone. The last donation was more than 16 hours ago, and we've reached 57% of our goal. We still have some time to meet our target. Please donate and help me secure food, drink, and clothes for the little ones—my sister's children. I think about everyone here and try to cover all their needs. #gaza #plaestine #mutualaid #journalism @Aral Balkan https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-young-journalist-mohammed-from-gaza-share-now?utm_campaign=fp_sharesheet&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=copy_link&lang=en_US&attribution_id=sl%3A8a747636-5ab3-4972-ad82-14948cb7e040

These are pics of kids: the first a kid carrying a bundle of bread, and the second holding a pot with a little soup. I personally took these photos with my camera while working on a news report for an organization. I stress this point cos some friends here were upset before when I used pictures taken by colleagues who had documented scenes of displacement from northern #gaza arriving at the position before me. These two children are the ones responsible for finding food for their family @Aral Balkan

And I must say that every time I share the link to my campaign on Instagram, my account gets restricted. Imagine, I opened my campaign 6 months ago and it wasn’t successful — I was only receiving small donations each month. But then I joined the Mastodon community. Thanks to Mastodon!🇵🇸❤️ #gaza #palestine

Yay!!! Now $500 is only left to reach out goal for tents 💕 Please keep donate and sharing my voice 🍉❤️ I work and I also take care of my family; I have a lot of responsibility on my shoulders. Thank you all , much love for you 🇵🇸🙏🏻 https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-young-journalist-mohammed-from-gaza-share-now?utm_campaign=fp_sharesheet&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=copy_link&lang=en_US #gazagenocide #genocide #journalism #palestine

The hardest scenes I film are these ones, the scenes of displacement and walking on foot for 4 or 5 continuous hours. My camera captures them, panting from thirst like they are and starving like they are. Scenes of displacement from the north of Gaza to the south For what is all of this? #gaza #genocide #stopgenocide #StopIsrael #speakup @Aral Balkan

My love and peace to all friends supporting #palestine 🇵🇸 around the world. ❤️ Below, you'll see me with my four-year-old nephew, Mays, who also sends you his love" but he's a little naughty" 🥲😅😅❤️ An urgent reminder to donate so I can buy new tents for him, myself, and our family.

Good morning💙It's a new day, & I've woken up to go to work. However, I feel a sense of failure & lethargy after the last thing I filmed with my camera at the Nasser Medical Complex. It was of a Dad & mom who lost their only son next to their tent. I've to continue with my work at the expense of my mental health, which I lose a bit of every time I witness these scenes.believe that a journalist shouldn't be overly emotional. #gaza #genocide #palestine #mutualaid @Aral Balkan https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-young-journalist-mohammed-from-gaza-share-now?utm_campaign=fp_sharesheet&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=copy_link&lang=en_US&attribution_id=sl%3A8a747636-5ab3-4972-ad82-14948cb7e040

I truly ache for my camera and for my eyes, burdened with the weight of what they are forced to see — the horror of bodies burned alive, the flames consuming the innocent, the haunting corridors of Nasser Hospital’s morgue and the cold silence of the refrigerators of the dead. My heart breaks for the lens of my camera, and I know that every journalist feels, deep within, the same unbearable pain I carry. #gazagenocide #palestine @Palestine

I’ve just been verified by Aral and Joy through a lovely video call on Signal. @Aral Balkan @Joy I’m grateful to have my name added to the Verified Gaza List and I truly hope to reach my goal of $1,500 to buy tents for myself and my family to shelter us from the coming winter cold.

Hello.. this is journalist Mohammed once again. I am now living in a tent with my family, but the cost of food & water has become more than I can manage💔 With winter approaching, our tent has grown too worn and fragile to keep us safe. I humbly ask for your support to help us secure new tents. We urgently need $1,500. Any contribution, big or small, would mean the world to us. Please, if u can, donate & share — ur kindness gives us strength to endure. https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-young-journalist-mohammed-from-gaza-share-now?utm_campaign=fp_sharesheet&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=copy_link&lang=en_US #gaza #genocide
