My friend Basel and his family are starving in Ga-za. His PayPal account has been blocked, but we are able to use another family member’s and money is getting through again. They are desperate and people are dying around them every day. The aid centers are deadly, as soldiers shoot people waiting in line for food. Flour and vegetables are scarce and extremely expensive when they are found. Please, please help me help this family. If you feel absolutely powerless in the face of this atrocity, the small act of sending a family some food money directly pushes back against this war machine of death and cruelty. I’ve been helping Basel and his family for a year and a half. I talk to him every day when he walks over a kilometer to find cell service. The pictures he sends are heartbreaking. I know we are all struggling in the face of a failing economy and unfettered capitalism, but if you can give even a little bit, it will help.
