Wheat, yeast, and a little water. Kneaded, shaped, and baked over an open flame into a perfectly sized, crispy loaf. Something so simple has become the foundation of survival in Gaza. Help here: chuffed.org/project/help-us-… For families enduring genocide, bread has been more than food. It has been the one thing keeping hunger at bay when everything else is scarce or unaffordable. From dough to oven to distribution, follow the journey of a loaf through The Sameer Project bakery and into the hands of families who depend on it. Help us keep the ovens burning and bread reaching those who need it! Flour prices are rising but for now daily operations at our bakery cost around $1,050. Help us sustain these costs to provide free bread to those in need.

Our physiotherapy and occupational therapy specialists are performing miracles every day, helping patients in our camps rehabilitate, heal, regain independence, and improve their quality of life. Your support is needed: chuffed.org/project/113327-r… Meet 6 year old Sajida who lives in The Sameer Project’s Refaat Alareer Camp. Through consistent therapy sessions, dedicated follow-up, and the care of our specialists, Sajida has made remarkable progress in her mobility and abilities. She can lift her arms and legs and remain seated upright on her own, an amazing feat considering her congenital abnormalities. For children like Sajida, rehabilitation is essential medical care that gives them the opportunity to grow, develop, and experience a better quality of life despite the genocide. Help us continue providing these life-changing services at our medical camps.

Our free buses mean an elderly woman living in her destroyed home near the yellow-line in Beit Lahia can still reach a doctor's appointment 45 minutes away. Please help here: chuffed.org/project/113222-t… They mean families can remain steadfast on their land without being completely cut off from medical care, food, and other essential services. For Palestinians living in isolated and devastated areas of Gaza, transportation is more than getting from one place to another. It is the difference between accessing care and going without it. Here, an elderly woman describes the difficulties of finding transportation so close to the yellow line. The Sameer Project's free buses help ensure that remaining on your land does not mean being abandoned without access to basic necessities. Steadfastness requires support. Help us keep our buses running and our communities connected.

Do we show this? The visceral pain. The cries. The suffering that is almost unbearable to witness? Yes. We have to. Support here: chuffed.org/project/136892-m… Not curated. Not set to dramatic music that silences the real sounds of human suffering. No edits to make the pain more palatable. On September 19, this child underwent a minor surgical procedure at The Sameer Project’s Tawbah Clinic in Jabalia. Listen to his cries. This is what medical care sounds like for children who have endured years of genocide, displacement, and unimaginable trauma. Children who are innocent bystanders, suffering the direct and indirect consequences of Israel’s occupation and bombardment. It costs nearly $1,900 a day to keep Tawbah Clinic operating. We show you the suffering because we cannot allow the world to look away Andy more, cover their ears, hide their eyes. And we ask you to help us relieve it.

When will Gaza finally receive the level of support needed not just to survive, but to live? People in Gaza will tell you they are still living, but they no longer feel alive. Support here: chuffed.org/project/help-us-… They wake up every day searching for food, water, shelter, and medical care. Every ounce of energy goes toward surviving another day. There is little room for rest, recovery, dignity, or hope for the future. Surviving a genocide should not mean being condemned to a lifetime of suffering. The people of Gaza deserve more than the bare minimum needed to stay alive. They deserve the opportunity to actually live. Here, they talk about some Arab countries that have sent aid…but it’s not enough for a population of 2 million trapped while being bombed. Until this opportunity to be free, to live, becomes a reality, The Sameer Project will continue showing up. Help us provide the support families need today: chuffed.org/project/help-us-… Other ways to donate include: paypal.me/mahertali (Paypal option, please make sure to add a message saying "WATER") account.venmo.com/u/Maher-Al… (Venmo option, please make sure to add a message saying "WATER")

People in Gaza wake up, and their first thought is water. Help now: chuffed.org/project/help-us-… They want to make tea. Water. Prepare breakfast. Water. Wash their hands, clean their dishes, bathe their children, take their medication. Water. Every basic act of daily life depends on it. Yet in Gaza, there is never enough. Imagine having to calculate every drop you use, knowing that when it runs out, you may have no way of getting more. Rationing it and telling your children that they can’t have more when they are thirsty. Clean water is the foundation of survival, health, and dignity. The Sameer Project produces and delivers clean drinking water directly to displaced communities across Gaza. But the need is far greater than what we can provide. Help us keep the water flowing.

The Sameer Project provides a bus daily for patients of the Hamad Hospital, in collaboration with them. This help hundreds of patients weekly to go get their treatment without having to be worried about the cost or ability to find transport. Contribute here: chuffed.org/project/113222-t… This is particularly important for patients with mobility challenges. Gaza has the highest number of amputees in the world and thousands are wheelchair users, so moving around is really difficult. To operate this bus, it costs The Sameer Project around $5,100 monthly and the gas is provided by Hamad Hospital. So that’s only $170 per day! We need your help to keep this service going. Donate now to the General Fund, and sign up to a monthly donation if you can: chuffed.org/project/113222-t… Other ways to donate include: paypal.me/mahertali (Paypal option, please make sure to add a message saying "GENERAL") account.venmo.com/u/Maher-Al… (Venmo option, please make sure to add a message saying "GENERAL")

The occupation threatens to close Gaza’s borders, restrict food supplies, and starve Palestinians into leaving their homeland. Support Gaza here: chuffed.org/project/help-us-… As this man says, echoing a Palestinian proverb, “Let them do it. How much worse can it get than what we are already living through?” Despite the hunger, destruction, and unimaginable suffering, he refuses to leave Gaza. His steadfastness should not come at the cost of starvation. On October 18, The Sameer Project distributed 414 bundles of freshly baked bread across Al-Sahel, Al-Safaa, and Al-Salwan camps in central Gaza, at a total cost of $917 including the 11% commission to transfer money to Gaza. As food becomes scarcer and prices continue to rise, our bakery remains a lifeline for families determined to stay on their land. Steadfastness requires sustenance, and help.

It’s not just about providing assistance. It’s about HOW that assistance is delivered. Give to Gaza: chuffed.org/project/113222-t… For The Sameer Project, dignity, respect, kindness, and compassion guide everything we do. We treat the people we serve the same way we would treat our own families, because that is exactly how they deserve to be treated. Here this man, a health supervisor from Al-Maadani Hospital, speaks about the importance of our free bus services for children, patients, and families, but also something equally meaningful: the kindness and care shown by our team. Our buses provide more than transportation. They provide relief, dignity, and the reassurance that someone cares. Support our free transportation program. Help us continue serving our people with the dignity they deserve, by donating to our General Fund link: chuffed.org/project/113222-t… Other ways to donate include: paypal.me/mahertali (Paypal option, please make sure to add a message saying "GENERAL") account.venmo.com/u/Maher-Al… (Venmo option, please make sure to add a message saying "GENERAL")

An engineered famine does not just starve people today. It leaves lasting damage on the body, sometimes for a lifetime. Please help: chuffed.org/project/136892-m… Babies are deprived of essential nutrients when malnourished mothers struggle to breastfeed. Children risk irreversible developmental harm, failing to meet physical growth and cognitive milestones. The elderly face worsening chronic illnesses, while medications that must be taken with food become another danger when there is nothing to eat. Starvation is not just an empty stomach. It is the destruction of health, development, and survival across generations. At The Sameer Project’s Tawbah Clinic in Jabalia, our medical team sees these consequences every day. We monitor malnutrition, manage chronic diseases, treat complications, and provide ongoing care to patients whose health continues to deteriorate under these conditions. Donate to our Medical Camapign to support these efforts through the link: chuffed.org/project/136892-m… Other ways to donate include: paypal.me/mahertali (Paypal option, please make sure to add a message saying "MEDICAL") account.venmo.com/u/Maher-Al… (Venmo option, please make sure to add a message saying "MEDICAL")
