GOOD NEWS. Our beloved Zakaria safely evacuated to Ukraine two weeks ago 🩷 He wanted everyone to know but has been SO tired & busy. He’s trying to leave soon because of the situation there. Any help will go towards this effort & a laptop so he can start working. chuffed.org/project/zaka... —Divya

Hello friends, I’m still safe. The situation in Northern Gaza is extremely dangerous — heavy bombardment, internet cuts, and tanks closing in. I’m still here in the north but considering moving south. Sadly, there are no available means of transport and the roads are overcrowded 🧵

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Zakaria. Zakaria’s mother is Ukrainian and they lived in Gaza City where he was a software engineer. Early in the war his house was fire bombed killing his brother and father and leaving Zakaria trapped in the rubble with significant injuries.

Zak is Ukrainian-Palestinian, in Gaza now & his mother is in Ukraine waiting for him. Please support Zak.

Friends, thank you for your support. Here’s my situation now: I’m waiting for possible evacuation by the Ukrainian government, but nothing is confirmed yet—we only hold on to hope. Meanwhile, we face displacement and I’m desperately searching for work to survive..

Just 99 left guys. We have tried for a month to reach a goal that we should have done in three days. Zakaria has been waiting. He isn’t saving money, all of this is gone. He needs to evacuate. Every 5 helps. It’s more than he gets!! 911/1000 by TONIGHT. @zakharara.bsky.social @oykukoc.bsky.social

Zakaria is having to displace. The situation in north Gaza is a nightmare each second, and each second we don't help him, it gets worse and harder for him to escape. 830/1000 by Friday night. This is all that has been raised...ever...for him. @zakharara.bsky.social @oykukoc.bsky.social

Hey y'all. This is seriously an URGENT call. Zakaria doesn't have much savings left, donations stopped, he is forced to evacuate but has no means to cover the move or the tent. By the end of tomorrow, we need to meet 1000, so he can cover some basics. @mommunism.bsky.social @lexialex.bsky.social

What is happening to us? We were waiting for the Ukrainian Embassy to evacuate me and my sister from Gaza — and now we are being displaced to the South instead. We can only hope they will care for us soon

820/1500 Slow progress...

I believe we can help Zakaria with this. Let's aim for a new goal. 795/1500

Another friend of our circle friends @zakharara.bsky.social vetted by the literal international red cross Zakaria has never gotten support but he’s preparing for displacement. He’s chronically injured and reliant on his friends—there & outside—for help chuffed.org/project/zaka...

Today I went to my relatives’ home in Northern Gaza to collect my belongings. The situation was terrifying — tanks were nearby firing, and shells hit houses just meters away Note: this footage was taken in the morning, later I saw this house destroyed right in front of my eyes

We will be displaced to South Gaza next days How many pro-Palestinians here can see this? 💔 I have no money for a tent or even transport costs. Any little help means a lot 👇 chuffed.org/project/zaka...

Zakaria update: Zakaria is hopeful about a temporary ceasefire, but says they are facing imminent displacement “because the fire is getting closer” in the north of Gaza. Please extend a hand. He needs food & supplies in any case. Thank you. —Divya & Öykü chuffed.org/project/zakaria

I feel hopeless 😞 I share our real suffering, speak and speak, yet so few care. My campaign has had no donations for days. I wait for a miracle from God to lift us from this despair and oppression 💔

Gaza bleeds from countless wounds. We don’t know who to mourn or what to mourn. The city has been slaughtered— its blood in the streets, its cries beneath the rubble, falling asleep to the gasp of its own loneliness

Urgent! The Ukrainian government is discussing evacuating citizens from Gaza, including my sister and me, possibly in September. My campaign aims to cover evacuation costs to save our lives. Help us and share! 🇵🇸🇺🇦 👇 chuffed.org/project/zakaria

My sister and her husband were heartbroken yesterday. They were hoping to return home after all this dispersion and suffering. But yesterday the picture of their destroyed house was transferred, which contains all their belongings and memories.

Please give this boy some money. And if you need a software engineer who doesn't call in sick, he sounds like the perfect candidate

"My father was beside me under the rubble, breathing his last breaths. My brother and other relatives were burned alive. I fought to stay alive, hovering between life and death." "Against all odds, I resumed my work last month and completed the development of an educational platform for a client"

All my posts today weren’t just to share my story. They had two goals: 1️⃣ Expose the occupation’s crimes by telling my real, ongoing story—one of many. 2️⃣ Set the context for the many posts I’ll share in the coming days 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

I have no home. The occupation destroyed it—along with my dreams, my future, and my family. I feel homeless; even the bed I sleep on isn’t mine. All I own are a few worn clothes. I am broken, wounded, and living with daily pain and humiliation chuffed.org/project/zakaria 1/5

I need to share more… who I am, and part of my story. In the next posts, I’ll open up about my life, why I launched my campaign, and why I urgently need help. There’s so much more to tell…

Please share and donate if you can.

New day new push for @zakharara.bsky.social 's fundraiser. Donations are very sparse. He's been trying hard to get more attention to his fundraiser and at the end he got scammed. Can we make it to the goal by the end of Friday? 696/1000 chuffed.org/project/zaka...

Please take a moment to see this campaign chuffed.org/project/zakaria It supports a weary soul whose pain has lasted far too long — enduring endless hardships, tragedies, and now facing a catastrophe… with even harsher days ahead. Help us survive — share if you care 🇵🇸❤️ #SaveGaza

Gaza has some food in markets now. Zak could really use your support as he tries to survive in Gaza so that he can meet his family in Ukraine, where they have since fled.

Now very violent bombing on Gaza City Dozens of attacks and fire belts rock the city God is sufficient for us, and He is the best Disposer of affairs. O Allah, keep us safe and protect us #HandsOffGaza 💔🇵🇸 (I have auto-translated this tweet from Zakaria tonight —Divya)

Donations have stopped for days… It’s sad when it feels like people have stopped caring 😔 We endure catastrophic conditions — no work, no livelihood. My situation and story are explained clearly; all we ask is your help to survive this temporary hardship chuffed.org/project/zaka...

No donations for 2 days… 😟 Still stuck at 676/1000 Every bit of support counts chuffed.org/project/zakaria

My mother reached out to the press, trying to help evacuate me, my sister, and other Ukrainians stranded in Gaza. ‎Please read and share the article. ‎We need your support ‎ ⁧‫#أجلوا_الأوكرانيين_من_غزة ‎⁦‪ #EvacuateUkrainiansFromGaza‬⁩ zmina.info/news/nashi-d...

Israeli forces are firing intense illumination flares over the eastern areas of Gaza. This is often followed by military operations. We pray for safety 🇵🇸 Note: This is not my footage, but it shows the eastern area from our side #HandsOfGaza

🧵🪡

Just heard from @zakharara.bsky.social that his phone is broken and he has limited access as he borrows his sister's phone for a couple of minutes to use social media or communicating with us ( @divyampersaud.com and I). So the goal we set for his fundraiser is more urgent!!!

„Reaching kind, generous hearts isn't impossible — the world is still full of good people. Please share to help my voice reach them. Every share counts“ _ Zakaria, survivor, trapped in G*za chuffed.org/project/zakaria ➡️ Follow: Eng. Zakaria @zakharara.bsky.social youtu.be/uKsvBh2eQIs

Israeli helicopters are flying heavily over us at very low altitudes. A terrifying sound we haven’t heard in weeks. Something seems to be happening... We pray for safety 🇵🇸 #HandsOffGazza

Do you think famine and crisis in Gaza have faded away? To anyone who wants the real picture — I live here. I’m sharing the raw truth from inside Gaza. I’ll post a thread to reveal what’s really happening. Stay with me ⬇️

Please please watch this. #Gaza

Making this video, looking back at the videos and photos of his rescue moment, surgeries, hospitalisation was not easy for Zakaria. Please take a few minutes to listen to his story. He is one of many Palestinians in Gaza. Consider helping him if you have the means to. chuffed.org/project/zaka...

Reaching kind, generous hearts isn’t impossible — the world is still full of good people. Please share to help my voice reach them. Every share counts 🇵🇸💙 chuffed.org/project/zaka...

Heavy raids now in Gaza Tonight is so difficult Please keep us in your prayers for safety 🙏💔

Right now tanks are firing bursts of bullets at the homes and tents of the displaced while we are in bed now! One of the bullets hit the wall near me Please pray for our safety 🙏💔

Pain. Survival. Hope. One story you need to see 👇 m.youtube.com/watch?v=uKsv...

It breaks my heart to million pieces when Zakaria puts others first even in such situation. He needs urgent proper medical care which is only possible if he is evacuated. But for that we need your help. Please share and donate to his fundraiser! @zakharara.bsky.social chuffed.org/project/zaka...

Zakaria has a lot to share, tell you about like many Palestinians. Will you just stop for a second and listen to Palestinian voices? Will you go and find where you left your humanity and break the deafening silence, take actions? chuffed.org/project/zaka...

Dear brothers & sisters, we urgently need your support in this unbearable hardship Please share our calls for help — your voice matters 🇵🇸🍉 chuffed.org/project/zaka...

We don’t stop. Giving up has no place in our hearts We rise from the ruins — we stand tall again and again Every day we defy death, we prove our cause is just and our rights are true One day we will win ✌️ and the world will hear our story 🇵🇸

Markets hold only scraps at impossible prices We eat just enough to survive… to live and tell our story We’ve made it through another day of famine We live day by day, hoping tomorrow brings a little mercy We love life, to prove to the world we deserve it 🇵🇸🍉💙 #GazaStarving

Zakaria needs to evacuate to a safe place where he can get the treatments he has been waiting for. He was hospitalised for more than a year. He tries to change his dressings but there are even days that become difficult. He has been having a really difficult time. Please consider helping him!!
