Hey ,
I hope you're having a blessed Sunday.
Yesterday, I planned to write an email for today to update you about our most recent donations made on behalf of the Wear The Peace family. But today, the world woke up to the disturbing and horrifying news that the occupation has once again decided to block all aid, water, and food from entering Gaza—a war crime.
How can one entity be allowed and able to block off all vital resources away from over one million people? This is what colonization and the occupation is. Palestinians are a daily reminder to the occupation that the land was not empty when they invaded. They want to make life so unbearable for Palestinians in the hopes that they would leave on their own. But Palestinians never will leave their land.
Many people forget that the people of Gaza are in no way, shape, or form okay. Just two days ago, I was on the phone with journalist Nahed Hajjaj as he showed me the tent he decorated with other journalists staying near Al-Ma'amdani Hospital for Ramadan. Seeing them try to hold on to some joy made me happy. But he later told me that while they are doing everything they can to find moments of joy even during the month of Ramadan, the images of dead children, the blood in the streets, and their murdered family members haunt them.
The entire population is traumatized as they now have more time to reflect on their suffering. This is the same response I hear from everyone I speak to there and if you follow or are in contact with individuals from Gaza on social media, you can see it in their eyes—they are not okay.
Now, with aid being blocked, the price of food in Gaza will skyrocket to the levels seen during the height of the genocide. Please, talk about what's happening—whether in conversations with your loved ones, online, on social media, at protests, or anywhere your voice can reach.
The list is way too long to name, but Gaza is not alone in this oppression. Far too many places in the world suffer because of the greed of the rest of the world. Please keep them all in mind—in your advocacy, your prayers, your conversations, your donations, and your daily life.
Now, I want to thank you for our most recent donation yesterday, March 1st, 2025. This is not possible without you.
We donated $23,869 to Pious Projects on-ground team in Gaza for meals during Ramadan
Tomorrow we have three scheduled donations of:
$1,914 to aid families in Sudan where over 12.5 million people have been displaced.
$3,174 to aid families in Lebanon in areas that the occupation has destroyed.
$9,250 to Sulala Animal Rescue in Gaza which are saving and treating animals.
Donation amounts are based off the products purchased and collections that give back to different causes. Thank you for all your love and support as we continue to fight together for peace and justice. Free Palestine and all oppressed people.
Best,
Murad
