Thank you so much to folks who have donated. Every donation counts. Each one is also a statement to @npub1ygx…0r44’s family that they are not alone or forgotten. I look forward to the day when Gazans are no longer in crisis, and they have enough to help others. The only way we all get through hardships is by helping each other and giving when we can. 💛

Let us know if this thread has been useful/informative to you.
We’ve been trying to raise funds for @npub1ygx…0r44, so that he and Rawan can provide for their two small sons, Suhail and Adam. They were #GazaVerified almost 2 months ago, and in the 3+ weeks that the https://chuffed.org/project/176848-support-mohamad campaign has been active, less than $350 have been given.

Living costs/challenges-2
Potable water isn’t always accessible. Even international NGO workers bathe with only partially desalinated water from the Mediterranean. Costs stay high becauseIsrael had a blockade on any electronics entering the Strip. More than 70% of the housing stock is destroyed or damaged/inhospitable.

Living costs/challenges-1
In addition to caring for his wife and two kids, @npub1ygx…0r44 works to help his larger family of 10 people. To care for this group (including food, cooking/energy sources, etc.) it costs $100-$150 per day. Furthermore, just the cost of renting a place for a tent is at least $170/month. Apartment rents are $1500-$2000/month.

Information access-2
Additionally, even this 2G network is often suspended or blocked for days at a time. When Gazans try to post here or on other socials to show their reality and raise funds, the posts don’t always go through. Gazans can also purchase WiFi access cards that give them access to slow WiFi connections for ~$7/day.

4/9🧵
Information access-1
Israel has throttled mobile data across Gaza so that the network operates using a 2G system, with a max download to 50kbps. Most countries have already phased out 2G. This means that even when someone can afford to charge their mobile phones, trying to send photos or videos of what is happening on the ground, the images may not upload.

Electricity-2
The cost of buying a solar panel in Gaza is ~$2500. Similar panels are sold in the USA and EU for under $300/€300. Additionally, for electricity after dark, one needs to have a 12V 75 Amp battery, which will cost another $2500-$3000. Batteries like this also cost ~$300 in the USA.

Electricity-1
The only way people can access electricity is by purchasing it by the kiloWatt-hour (kWh) from folks running diesel generators. The current price in Gaza is $10 per kWh. To put that in perspective, Californians pay $0.20-$0.34per kWh, and Germans pay about €0.40 per kWh of electricity. It’s a struggle and hardship to just charge a phone in Gaza.

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to try to survive day-to-day in Gaza now, under the current “ceasefire”? @npub1ygx…0r44 had a long chat with me over WhatsApp this week sharing some information about electricity, internet access, and more. My husband, who is a doctor that spent last month working in Gaza with @npub1v3r…csw8 confirmed that his patients gave similar accounts. Details downthread.

In the last couple of days, we launched a fundraiser for @npub1ygx…0r44’s family, but it still hasn’t taken off. They were verified by [@gaza_verified_campaigns](https://mastodon.social/@gaza_verified_campaigns ) a few weeks ago, but they have yet to receive any support. Please consider donating if you are safe and can take care of your own needs. Let’s show them that we care and they matter.

@npub1rk6…hv4q Hello. I’m working with an immigrant organizing group that wants to have access to files/messaging on servers outside of US jurisdiction. We looked into NextCloud, but it’s a little confusing… can we do that on the free level? If so, how many users and what functions/applications are available?

I’ve been looking into a FairPhone or a phone from @npub1xrs…qupw, but as long as my current device continues to work well, I don’t want to unnecessarily replace it. Thanks for publicly showing what steps need to be taken to get GrapheneOS on a Pixel.

I was a fan of a group that I think only released songs via MySpace called The Claps Montreal. I still hear some of the songs in my head, but for the life of me, I haven’t been able to find an mp3 of their work.

Each day during the coming weeks, I will highlight a family in Gaza that is in need of support from all of us. If you have been lucky enough to be warm and well fed during the holidays, please find a way to share those blessings. All verified.
Mosab Is working to keep his family safe during the cold weather as they survive in a tent. He’s determined to complete his education and find work to provide for them. In the meantime, we can help them all. https://kafeneio.social/@mosab/115696457230608670

Baraa has lost 2 of her 3 dear children. She’s ill now on IV fluids due to cold and malnutrition. Her mastodon account has been limited, but her verification is here:
