ORGANISATIONS
arab.org is a site run by UNRWA using ad revenue to donate to humanitarian aid to Gaza. (some people online have said this site is completely associated with the UN, who have shown they don't care for Gaza, however this has been proven false multiple times, UNRWA ≠ UN).
Care for Gaza is a non-profit charity that are actively posting on-ground in Gaza and rely on donations to give aid, food, and cash. they have a paypal & gofundme, and here is their instagram.
the Palestinian children's relief fund provides medicine, food, & water in north and south parts of Gaza.
the Taawon Association partners with the bank of Palestine to give out hot meals to people in Gaza.
the World Food Programme (WFP) is delivering food parcels into Gaza.
Anera provides urgent humanitarian aid, blankets, blood bags, hygeine kits, etc to Palestinians.
Hirbawi is the last and only factory in Palestine that makes kufiyas, buy one to show your support for Palestine!
Direct Aid for Gaza (@GazaDirectAid on twitter) is a program funding humanitarian aid in Gaza with a small group of volunteers. they have a paypal linked in their profile.
Operation Olive Branch is an excel sheet of many families in Gaza & how to donate to + contact them.
E-SIMS FOR GAZA
eSIMs are digital SIM cards that work similarly to a physical one, providing internet access to people in Gaza during power blackouts and providing data & SMS for a phone number so people in Gaza can reach out to loved ones and share what's happening online. you can buy eSIMs on apps like simly, holafly, nomad, mogo, etc, screenshot and send the QR code to anyone you know is on-ground in Gaza, or to gazaesims@gmail.com. check the eSIMs for Gaza website for more information on how to purchase an eSIM. @cartoonistcoop on tumblr shared that artists are offering art in exchange for the value of donating an eSIM, so heres more info on that if you're interested!
DIRECT AID TO PEOPLE IN GAZA
PETITIONS
BOYCOTTS
heres a list of major companies that support/are funding the occupation and the genocide that palestinians encourage you to boycott & avoid buying from:
McDonalds - providing free meals to the IOF
Starbucks - former CEO invests heavily in the israeli occupation's economy + unionbusting pro-palestine unions
Burger King - providing free meals to the IOF
Wix - CEO supports the IOF
Google - Google and Amazon jointly won the Project Nimbus contract to provide cloud services to the Israeli military. This is a $1.2bn contract that will be used to continue the oppression of Palestinians. (reminder this is just a pressure target as it's a huge company-- just pressure the company publicly about their association with the occupation, avoid buying their new products, and maybe use a different browser if you want too, i recommend firefox or duckduckgo)
for more boycott targets, i recommend looking at the BDS Movement's list, aswell as the list on The Witness News.

for more information & ways to help, please look at this masterpost on tumblr that includes info for donations, petitions, how to call your representatives for different locations, campaigns, boycotts, etc. it updates often & has many different ways you can help, even if you're not able to donate money.
if you're unable to give money or support financially, the best you can do is USE YOUR VOICE! post online about it, talk to your family and friends about it, do research, sign petitions, anything to bring awareness so others that are able to can support as well!
ALSO: Bisan Owda (wizard_bisan1 on instagram) called for a global strike from january 21st to the 28th. to participate in this, boycott brands that support the occupation, try to call out of work/school-- if you can't do that, wear something to work that shows your support (kufiya, pins, flags, etc), don't spend your money on unnecessary things until the strike is over, shop locally & at places that openly support Palestine, post and talk about Palestine often, make sure you are heard.
UPDATE: Jester (alien_bunny_ on twitter) is organising another global strike from february 18th to the 25th, try to do all the things listed above and in the linked tweet and show your support!!!
i will be deleting any zionist comments.

i think the reason there isn't much palisetine awareness here on spacehey is because it's more prominent for apps like insta & tiktok to spread more info on it.
Nothing wrong with what you're doing though! Keep spreading awareness!
