#Instagram has, once again, October 1st, deleted my personal content. When I received this notification, I was completely shocked bc the content they flagged was not the Palestinian journalistic documentation of the ongoing genocide I've been sharing. It was, quite simply, a personal photograph of myself. They’re no longer just fighting the content—they are fighting the people themselves. My pic contained absolutely nothing that warrants warrants my acc being restricted #gaza #genocide

It's been 5 days since our last donation, this is so frustrating. @Aral Balkan I'm trying to stay involved here on Mastodon but I have work and responsibilities that keep me away from here. Our goal this week is $800. Please donate as much as you can. 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%3A61070cc6-e3e4-41c0-9611-2e31d96794ce&ts=1759399577 #gaza #genocide

I've been absent from my work for two days due to a moderate cut on my finger. " Can't put on my shoes It is perhaps difficult for me to be away from work for 2 consecutive days. I don't go out to see, witness, & personally observe the news, but today was somewhat comforting—this stagnation, this not seeing the sadness in the eyes of the people around me, not seeing the hunger & misery. Please pray for me to recover soon and return to my work. 🍉♥️ #gaza #genocide #journalism #palestine @Aral Balkan

2,939 raised of 5K Friends!🍉 Last Donation was 2 days ago I will be moving in the coming days to other tents and another area. I need your support and donations these days so I can settle down and cover the costs of transportation, shipping, wood, and land rent. Below are pictures of where I am now. My tent is cramped and crowded. Donate here ❤️ 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%3A8178d195-6cf4-4db5-b6d6-fe26650eb701 @Aral Balkan #gaza #palestine #journalism #genocide

Hello @Aral Balkan and @Joy , Thank you very much for your efforts. I was wondering if I could cover your Gaza Verified in the media and prepare a journalistic report about it. It will be in Arabic with an English translation written below the report. What do you think? I would really love to tell people here about what you are doing and share this beauty. #gaza #palestine #genocide

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
