💦💦The rain flooded my tent, and now we're freezing to death. There's no warm mattress or tent; everything is wet, even our clothes. We sleep with the rain pouring down on our heads. Please help me and my children to protect us from the rain. I beg you, please donate.😭😭 gofund.me/65a517b6

Please share & give to help Heba's family survive Israel's continuing genocide. They've been left homeless & starving as winter approaches, Heba is pregnant, & the camps are flooding in cold winter rain. They urgently need shelter & winter supplies:

I’m desperate and broken. The war stole our home and my job. Now we live in a freezing tent, my children go hungry, and little Nasser has no medicine. I feel powerless to protect them. Please, your support could save our lives and give us hope in this dark time.💔 chuffed.org/project/155233

I send you all my love and I share with you my vision for a clean Gaza, with a good access to electricity, and a clean world. 👉 gofund.me/0962a012a May God provide all of us with abundance. #Gaza #Palestine #Solar #RenewableEnergy #Genocide #FreePalestine

I hope you will be able to assist, or to talk about it with your friends who are friends of #Palestine or of the #environment.

I’m humbly coming to you to ask you to participate in our money pot to help power up #Gaza with renewable energy. If you’re able to donate a few dollars so we can get a #solar panel for Christmas, you would help all of our family as well as helping to make Gaza cleaner and greener.

And it would allow us to have a small daily income by asking others for money for charging their phones, thus relying less on international donations to feed our family of 19 and to provide them with shelter and warm clothes for winter. But the solar panel costs 1500 dollars, which we don’t have.

However, I found someone with a solar panel for sale. He’s got several, he can’t handle them all. This would allow us to stop spending money every day charging our devices (I’m a computer science student, my brother Omer is 16, he’s attending school online, my brother Bilal is a software engineer…).

So now we’ve got to find someone with a solar panel every day, and we must pay 1 shekel to charge a phone, 2 shekel to charge a phone if we don’t have the cable, and 10 shekel to charge our battery. We normally spend 19 shekel per day (1 for me, 8 for my brothers, 10 for the battery).

Before our house was bombed and Rafah was razed, my family realised solar panels were one of our most precious assets, so we took one with us. Unfortunately, it was targeted and damaged beyond repair a few months ago.

Because of the blockade, imports of panels, batteries, cables etc. have ceased completely, increasing the price and making solar systems harder to acquire or maintain and repair.

However, solar panels are very vulnerable to attacks, especially rooftop ones. They are physically exposed and fragile. During the current war, over the past two years, they’ve been a primary target of the occupation forces, and most of them have been damaged or destroyed.

Solar panels can’t power cars, but they avoid using fuel for generators for civilians and for hospitals.

In the genocidal war, people have been burning plastic a lot to make fuel. This emits very thick and black smoke that is extremely unhealthy for all Gazans. Many orphans make a living out of this, making some money to subsist but at the same time, destroying their future prospects at a healthy life.

Solar energy also offers many Gazans a more stable, cleaner, and more cost-effective alternative to fuel-based generators or erratic grid power — especially for lighting, charging phones, powering small appliances, or supporting essential services.

Solar installations are critical for essential health services: they have supported hospitals (for instance at hospital Nasser in Khan Yunis), helping reduce reliance on fuel-powered generators and keeping vital services running: health-care facilities, bakeries, fish farms, start-ups etc.

It’s very clever, it only relies on light, and it’s inexhaustible.

And then there’s the junction where n-type and p-type silicon meet. At this boundary, electrons from the n-layer side diffuse to the p-type layer, and an electric field forms.

Boron is added to the other layer of silicon. It adds many electron holes (places where electrons are missing). It makes the layer positive-type. Boron is a mined mineral.

Phosphorus is added to one layer of silicon. It adds many extra electrons, and it makes the layer of silicon negative-type. Phosphorus comes from mining, or also from guano (seabird excrements).

Silicon is made out of sand, it’s the semiconductor that forms the structure of photovoltaic cells. It allows electrons to be excited by sunlight (but they don’t move on their own).

For the nerdy engineers among us: solar panels consist in two layers of silicon: one enriched with phosphorus (N-doped), and one enriched with boron (P-doped).

My family used to have a house in Rafah, and we were equipped with solar panels! It’s a very beautiful piece of technology.

For households and businesses, switching to solar often reduces the cost compared to running diesel generators or paying for unpredictable grid electricity.

Gaza has also been subjected to a siege since 2007 (when I was 3 years old). There are very persistent electricity shortages and power cuts for many years, exacerbated by blockades and damage to infrastructure.

Gaza is blessed with a lot of sunshine throughout the year and altogether a nice Mediterranean climate. It’s a very sunny place, so it makes a lot of sense to use solar energy here.

My friend @burnitdown shared a post about Australia making electricity free several hours per day thanks to solar panels: electrek.co/2025/11/04/a... billmckibben.substack.com/p/free-elect... And my friend @gomli asked me for details about how electricity works in Gaza. So today is the good day!

Did you know that #Gaza used to have the highest density of rooftop solar panels in the world, before the current genocidal massacre? It’s truly a remarkable place.

Hello everyone ☀️☀️☀️ This is Khaled from Rafah, #Gaza Strip, #Palestine. How are you doing today? I hope you’re well and the sun shines over your head, warms your heart and gives you a smile! Today I’d like to talk about electricity in Gaza, and solar panels! #solar #solarpanels #renewableenergy

Today #Israel 's occupation forces murdered sublings Fadi and Jum’a Abu Assi at Bani Suhaila in #Israeli occupied #Palestine 's #GazaStrip. Israel has killed at least 72 children during the 'ceasefire' in #Gaza. This doesn't include children who have died waiting for a medical evacuation. #News

'When he was finally able to return to the area, the teen searched the destroyed streets and surrounding areas, but still found nothing. While inspecting a neighbouring destroyed house, he stumbled upon “one of the most heartbreaking scenes I have ever witnessed.”' (4/x)

"...who told him that the house had been bombed. The family requested that the Civil Defence and the Red Cross reach the area, but they were denied access. The family posted appeals online and waited for any word, but none arrived."

"The neighbourhood had been classified as a dangerous zone, where Israeli forces had forcibly expelled residents & bombed anything that moved. Mohammed tried to call his father repeatedly, but received no answer. Then came a call from a neighbour in the area..." (2/x)

MEE's Nada Nabil: "As soon as Palestinian teenager Mohammed al-Banna heard that Israeli forces had withdrawn from eastern Gaza City in early August, he made his way there. His father, Jehad al-Banna, had last been seen heading towards their home in the Shuja'iyya neighbourhood on 3 July." (1/x)
