Here’s what's been happening:</p><p>North Gaza—Mashrou Bait Lahia and Kamal Adwan Hospital</p><p>"Due to severe safety concerns, the family in Mashrou Bait Lahia can no longer cook for Kamal Adwan Hospital. With many staff members fleeing, Chef Mahmoud, his family, and my parents are among the last five families still in the area. In response, Chef Mahmoud made a bold decision—he moved everything from our Gaza Soup Kitchen warehouse into the hospital. This included over four tons of food and supplies: canned goods, flour, rice, pasta, lentils, cooking oil, tomato paste, diapers, wipes, baby formula, blankets, children's clothes, and more. This crucial delivery will allow the hospital to feed its patients for the next few weeks.</p><p>"The hospital staff was deeply moved by the support; it was their first in-kind donation in 40 days. The head of the hospital, Dr. Husam, embraced Mahmoud, who has a special connection to this place—his baby daughter was born there just four days ago. A miracle amidst the chaos, though there's no official place to register her birth or even give her a name. To continue supporting, our crew will likely start cooking directly from inside the hospital. Meanwhile, my parents remain steadfast, even as we mourn the loss of 60 neighbors from a recent airstrike, including our own relatives.</p><p>Beach Camp—A New Location in North Gaza</p><p>"After relocating west of Gaza City, Chef Faten has set up a new operating kitchen in the Beach Camp area. Today marked the inaugural day, and it was heartwarming to see Chef Om Ahmad and others from our original location come together to help. They managed to cook for 200 families. It’s bittersweet—children lined up the moment they smelled the food. Thanks to the facilities at this new site, Chef Faten can act quickly and provide meals to those in need. Your support gives us the courage to open new locations and scale up existing ones. We are also expanding operations in the Al Shaikh Radwan neighborhood, which has now been running for two months, constantly increasing capacity.</p><p>"Al Zawaydah—Increasing Demand<br>In Al Zawaydah, the team is facing growing demand; about 50 more people show up daily. They currently serve 80% of those who come, and the situation is dire, with many families relying on our meals. Due to theft of aid by forces linked to the Israeli army (as reported by reputable sources like the Financial Times yesterday), we're making every effort to meet the increased needs. We've instructed the crew to hire more hands, acquire additional cooking pots, and aim to serve up to 90% of those seeking food by next week.</p><p>Khan Younes—Providing Essential Support</p><p>"In Khan Younes, our crew is distributing drinking water each morning, alongside delivering baby clothes for newborns—a small but impactful gesture. A sister charity has hired our team to cook for them in the coming days, providing some financial support. Additionally, Ms. Fatma's class in Khan Younes continues to run strong, offering some semblance of normalcy to the children. It's one of the coolest things we can do for the kids.</p><p>"Our drinking water distributions remain a priority, covering four areas throughout the Gaza Strip.</p><p>"For those asking how to help, donations are always welcome through this Gofundme community or our website. Every contribution goes directly to sustaining and expanding our work in Gaza for our Palestinian brothers and sisters.</p><p>"Thank you for standing with us. Your support keeps hope alive.</p><p>"Warm regards,<br>Hani<br>Gaza Soup Kitchen Team</p><p>"P. S. Down with the regimes that support this genocide, lie about it, and create these criminal conditions."</p><p><a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/Hot-meals-in-gaza-daily?viewupdates=1&rcid=r01-173221650335-4b67c31ca83d11ef&utm_medium=email&utm_source=customer&utm_campaign=p_email%2B1137-update-supporters-v5b" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">gofundme.com/f/Hot-meals-in-ga</span><span class="invisible">za-daily?viewupdates=1&rcid=r01-173221650335-4b67c31ca83d11ef&utm_medium=email&utm_source=customer&utm_campaign=p_email%2B1137-update-supporters-v5b</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NorthGaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NorthGaza</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IsraeliWarCrimes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IsraeliWarCrimes</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Starvation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Starvation</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GazaAid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GazaAid</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GazaFundraisers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GazaFundraisers</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreePalestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreePalestine</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CeasefireNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CeasefireNow</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FoodIsLife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WaterIsLife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GoFundMe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GoFundMe</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IsraelHumanRightsViolations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IsraelHumanRightsViolations</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StopArmingIsrael" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StopArmingIsrael</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WorldWarBibi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WorldWarBibi</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BeitLahiya" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BeitLahiya</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BaitLahiya" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BaitLahiya</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BibiIsAWarCriminal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BibiIsAWarCriminal</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Genocide</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GoFundMe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GoFundMe</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KhanYounes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KhanYounes</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Palestine</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HumanRightsAreNeverWrong" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HumanRightsAreNeverWrong</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NorthernGaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NorthernGaza</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gaza</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AlZawaydah" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AlZawaydah</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KamalAdwan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KamalAdwan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KamalAdwanHospital" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KamalAdwanHospital</span></a></p>
