Help buy solar panels for Gazan families

Hi I am helping to raise funds for a young writer in Gaza, Abdallah Al-Jazzar. We were paired together through the We Are Not Numbers project and have been in touch throughout the most recent Israeli bombardment on Gaza. Abdallah Al-Jazzar is trying to raise enough money to buy solar panels for his family and community so he can stay in touch with the world.

How? Abdallah's neighbour is selling his solar panels and Abdallah would like to buy them so he can return to his neighbourhood—which has been destroyed—and continue life there.

On October 19, on We Are Not Numbers, Abdallah wrote: "Amid this ongoing crisis, I have faced another struggle – ensuring my family’s basic needs are met. Providing food and maintaining our water supply, which cost 200 NIS (more than $50, a month’s savings for me), became a daunting challenge. I reached out to dozens of people for help. While some didn’t respond or couldn’t reach me due to the failing telephone network, a few managed to assist. Notably, my uncle Waleed, who is living under modest circumstances himself, stepped forward to refill our water tanks. It was a reminder that family support is invaluable.

Although relieved by my uncle’s assistance, I remained disheartened by my inability to provide sustenance for my family."

Money raised through this channel will go directly to Abdallah and his family in Gaza, right now.
