A Plea for Humanity: Supporting Families in Gaza

Leave a reply

The current situation in Gaza is dire, with families facing unimaginable hardships due to ongoing conflict and extreme poverty. ePluribusAmerica is highlighting the plight of Alaa Muasher and her children, and offering a stark reminder of the human cost of conflict and the urgent need for humanitarian aid.

The Need for Support: A Family’s Story

Alaa Muasher, a relief and social activist who previously worked with Rehmah Global Relief Gaza, is now struggling to provide for her family in makeshift shelters with limited access to food, water, and basic necessities. She describes their living conditions as breeding grounds for disease, with polluted water and unsanitary conditions posing serious health risks. This isn’t just a statistic; it’s the reality for Alaa and countless other families in Gaza. Click HERE to support Aala and her children. 

Key Takeaways and Need to Knows:

  • Extreme Poverty: Families are battling not just the aftermath of conflict, but also extreme poverty, with limited income, high food prices, and a lack of basic necessities.
  • Unsafe Living Conditions: Makeshift shelters offer little protection from the elements and pose serious health risks due to unsanitary conditions and polluted water.
  • Psychological Trauma: The prolonged conflict and displacement have caused significant psychological trauma, particularly for children who have lost parents and families living under constant threat.
  • Urgent Need for Aid: Rehmah Global Relief is raising funds to support Alaa and her family, as well as other families in similar situations. Donations will help provide food, water, shelter, and medical care.

Implications for American Culture and Society:

While the situation in Gaza may seem geographically distant, it has important implications for American culture and society:

  • Humanitarian Responsibility: As a global superpower, the United States is complicit in the genocide being carried in Palestine by its ally, Israel, and therefore has a moral responsibility to end the slaughter and provide humanitarian aid and support to those in need, regardless of their location. This aligns with American values of compassion and helping those less fortunate. 
  • Awareness and Education: It’s crucial for Americans to be aware of global crises and understand their role in it, as well as the human impact of conflict and poverty. This awareness can foster empathy, encourage civic engagement, and promote support for humanitarian organizations.
  • Interconnectedness: In today’s interconnected world, events in one region can have ripple effects globally. Supporting genocide in We, The People’s name is not only un-American, it’s deplorable. We must come together to support humanitarian efforts and contribute to greater global stability and security. This, is the America yet to be. 
  • Challenging Isolationism and Colonialism: The crisis in Gaza challenges any notions of isolationism. Global issues require global solutions, and the United States must be engaged in humanitarian efforts to promote peace and alleviate suffering, not take part in them.

Call to Action:

The situation in Gaza is a stark reminder of the fragility of human life and the importance of global solidarity. We must not turn a blind eye to the suffering of families like Alaa’s. Every donation, no matter the size, can make a difference. We must also turn our backs to all elected official that supports inhumanity and genocide in our name. 

To contribute to Rehmah Global Relief’s efforts and support families in Gaza, please consider donating. By showing our humanity and offering our support, we can help change their sadness into hope.

Beyond financial donations, individuals can take several actions to support families in Gaza:

  • Raise Awareness: Share information about the situation in Gaza on social media, with friends, family, and in community groups. Use the provided links (the Instagram and LinkedIn links for Alaa Muasher, and the links to Rehmah Global Relief) to spread awareness of the specific needs and how people can help. Don’t just share the information once; continue to post updates and remind people of the ongoing need.
  • Advocate for Policy Change: Contact elected officials (local representatives, members of Congress, etc.) and urge them to support policies that promote peace and provide humanitarian aid to Gaza. This includes advocating for increased funding for humanitarian organizations operating in the region and supporting diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict and end the occupation of Palestine. Write letters, send emails, make phone calls, or participate in peaceful protests or rallies.
  • Support Ethical Consumption: Research companies and businesses that operate in or have ties to the region and consider supporting those that prioritize fair labor practices and sustainable development in Gaza. This can help create economic opportunities for families and communities.
  • Volunteer (If Possible): While physically volunteering in Gaza may be difficult due to the current situation, look for opportunities to volunteer with humanitarian organizations that are working on relief efforts for Gaza. This might include administrative tasks, fundraising support, or community outreach.
  • Educate Yourself: Learn more about the history of the conflict, the current political situation, and the challenges faced by families in Gaza. Deeper understanding enables more effective advocacy and support. Follow reputable news sources and research organizations that provide accurate information about the region.
  • Send Letters or Messages of Support: While direct communication may be difficult, sending messages of support or solidarity to families or communities in Gaza (through established organizations or initiatives) can offer a sense of hope and connection. These can be sent digitally (if possible) or through humanitarian organizations that facilitate such communication.
  • Support Boycotts, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) Movements: The BDS movement is a global campaign that calls for boycotts, divestment, and sanctions against Israel until it complies with international law regarding Palestinian rights. Participating in or supporting this movement is a way to take direct action to bring about systemic change.

By taking these actions, individuals can amplify the voices of those affected by the crisis and contribute to long-term solutions for peace and stability in the region.

A Father’s Plea: Rebuilding After Gaza’s War

Murad Bader is raising awareness and soliciting support for his family who are facing difficult circumstances due to the war in Gaza. He’s asking for both donations and for people to share his campaign.

ePluribusAmerica will support these humanitarian campaigns by highlighting the stories of people and families in need of support due to America’s manufactured wars across the globe against the will and support of We, the People.

America’s foreign policy and State Department has detoured away from the American Dream and vision for the nation and the world. Americans from all walks of life must come together as One People of this great nation to turn back toward the road of fulfilling the America yet to be; an America for All her People.

We’ve sacrificed, worked too hard, and come too far to allow the madness of the Biden-Harris Administration, the potential chaos of Trump 2.0, including previous administrations, to take root. Over the last 15 months, Americans have openly witnessed unprecedented corruption from our elected officials. From our international relations; endless wars, conflicts and government meddling, to our domestic relations; killing aviation and AI/tech whistleblowers, as well as the blatant war crimes being carried out in our names and against our will. Members of Congress and other elected officials have galvanized and forced their personal wills, including hegemonic illusions of Mother Earth on humanity on behalf of a foreign government, Israel, and its un-American and parasitic lobby, AIPAC. 

The time is now to come together, not just as Americans, but also as global citizens determined and committed to usher in a New World order rooted in a common humanity. It is in that spirit we must support those directly impacted by our corrupt leaders who mistook “public service” for “self serve” and show the world who we truly are as a People: e Pluribus Unum, Out of Many, One.

Murad and his family are facing numerous challenges due to the war:

  • Loss of loved ones: He lost his mother, many friends, and some of his wife’s brothers.
  • Loss of livelihood and possessions: He lost his job, cars, house, and his previous way of life.
  • Current living conditions: They are displaced and struggling. The most difficult Ramadan they’ve ever experienced was spent away from their home and loved ones, displaced in a tent or a classroom in a school used as a shelter.
  • Uncertainty and fear: They face instability, anxiety, and fear for the future.

Murad hopes to build a new life that guarantees a decent life for himself and his family, either inside or outside Gaza.

Murad is taking the following actions:

  • Launching a donation campaign: He’s asking for financial help to rebuild their lives, click HERE to learn more.
  • Sharing his story and campaign: He’s raising awareness and seeking support on social media platforms like LinkedIn.

Murad, alongside hundreds of thousands of people, is facing insurmountable challenges due to the war in Gaza.  Many have lost loved ones, livelihood and possessions, including enduring refugee living conditions with uncertainty and fear of what the future of a new ceasefire agreement will mean. 

People can support Murad and his family by donating to his campaign, sharing his story and campaign on their social media platforms, or contacting him directly to offer assistance.

Murad’s campaign is focused on rebuilding their lives and securing a humane future. Here’s how you can help:

  • Financial assistance: This is the primary request for many rebuilding their lives after wars/conflicts. 
  • Housing: The Bader family lost their home and are displaced.
  • Livelihood/employment: Murad lost his job and is in need of employment and income.
  • Basic necessities: Given their displacement and struggles, this includes food, clothing, and other essentials.

Support can also be given to Mercy Corps, UNICEF USA  and other humanitarian aid organizations like Save the Children who are active on the ground in Gaza and other war affected areas across the globe.
