Shukran Rawan for your updates, and NEVER give up.

Can I ask have you thought about asking for financial help from people either at the uni's and / or on here?

Hi. Thank you, hope you enjoyed reading it. Yes I have actually asked the university but I didn't get help about this unless the scholarship they offer and it's gonna be awarded for only one student unfortunately, however I have received information that they may waive the tuition fees for me if I secure my living expenses in the UK so I'm still working on finding a charity or an individual who could help with this. I've also created a campaign to cover my first year tuition fees and part of the living expenses but I'm also still working on it :)

Okay people on Substack can help, just post once you've got the raising of funds campaign created. I can help you with contacting people in Scotland or England, so if you need help message me, and we can chat.

Many people can help, including myself, so don't give up!

It is surprising, disappointing that after so much time Gaza remains at a standstill. Promises of goods and services moving in from Egypt all lies, the truth is very little trickles in and without money who can afford to get the basic needs met. The world is blind because of the lack of coverage on our news. our politicians are disinterested or distracted with the mini wars to include Ron Venezuela, and threats to take over Canada Panama and Greenland. Many of us wonder what happened to the peace president and the peace commission all lies. I asked that as an international community, we not sit idly by and be victims watching frozen frighten scared that we take some action and we organize. Whether it’s through boycotting products diverting our resources educating the public we should stand firm in our commitment to a free Palestine. The dismantle of the apartheid system, the release of the political prisoners, men, women, and children. We should demand that the rule of law be observed and adhere to. There should be consequences for all offenders to include the leaders and for countries participating in the human rights violations

I feel you. As you said, the peace commission is a lie, and in my opinion, peace itself is an illusion, it will never happen in this world. Unfortunately, the leaders you ask to be held accountable are the same ones who control the world; they are the ones who make the rules.

For me, as a person who has endured and survived several wars that were in vain, wars in which we accomplished nothing but death, the loss of homes, lives, and our future, this kind of war, which requires going into battles, is not the best solution for liberation. Instead, spreading knowledge and ensuring that people in Gaza have access to proper education is what will make the difference.

We were actually beginning to recover in the last two years before the war began, but after October 7, everything was turned upside down
