August was marked by ongoing and relentless displacement for Palestinians in Gaza. It became common for people to dismantle their tents multiple times a day in search of a "safer" spot, trying to escape Israeli bombings in areas misleadingly declared safe. The uncertainty and danger led many from central Gaza to move to the Mawasi Khan Younis area in the south, only to continue moving around within Mawasi, with no clear idea of which area was truly safer.
In response to this crisis, the Vegan for Gaza team suggested distributing small parcels, including bread, to support those struggling to find secure locations to set up their tents. We aimed to provide food items that people could consume while constantly on the move. Initially, we considered including tomatoes, cucumbers, and bread in the parcels. However, due to high prices and limited supply, tomatoes were unavailable. On August 21, we distributed small parcels containing cucumbers (despite their high cost), eggplants, potatoes, and bread to 80 displaced families in Mawasi Khan Younis. An additional 20 packs of bread were given to passersby.
On that day, after finishing the distribution, our volunteers were driving away from the area. As they recalled the gratitude and pain in the eyes of those who received the food parcels, they suddenly found themselves near the Qarara port, with the sounds of artillery shells drawing closer. Trying to avoid the shelling, they took a side street, only to come face-to-face with an Israeli tank that began firing at their car. Believing these might be their final moments, they prayed together, asking that whoever survived would tell the story of their last moments. The driver, in a desperate attempt to escape the shooting, maneuvered away, and they turned off their phones to avoid being tracked and targeted by Israeli quadcopters. Fortunately, the driver knew the side roads well; otherwise, they could have been trapped between Israeli tanks and quadcopters.
It took us, the team in the West Bank, days to process this harrowing experience and find the words to write about it. We were amazed at how the incredible team in Gaza managed to recount the story so casually in the campaign's chat group and then proceed to plan a children's entertainment activity just two days later.

Almost 2 million people in Gaza are facing severe hunger and famine, displaced Palestinians seeking refuge in UN schools or tents.
The intensifying Israeli aggression brings heightened brutality with an ongoing blockade on power, water, fuel, and food supplies in Gaza.
Despite the challenges, the local market still has some vegetables and legumes available, albeit at very high prices.
In November, as Vegans In Palestine and animal rescuers from Baladi Animal Rescue Shelter, we initiated a food parcel distribution effort, providing support to 77 displaced families in middle and southern Gaza.
Now, our goal is to support 1500 families (approx. 11000 people in need) dedicating thisVeganuary in solidarity with the people of Gaza.
How you can contribute:
- a single donation to feed a family in Gaza providing them with food parcels containing vegetables, legumes, rice, and cooking oil,
- organise vegan events in your area, with the proceeds directly deposited into Vegans In Palestine Campaign's donation link.
- If you're vegan, dedicate your veganism this month to the people and animals in Gaza and raise as much money as possible from your networks using the donation link.
- If you're not vegan, go Vegan and dedicate your journey to support the people and animals in Gaza by sending the link to this campaign to as many people as possible. Create a MONEY BOX for the donations raised by you.

Hi, my name is Bryan. I co-organized a potluck and film screening of Israelism at my home with other pro-Palestinian vegans in Las Vegas. We collected donations for your fundraiser. We hope this little amount will help some families suffering from the brutal occupation. Thank you for all that you do
Thank you to the team, I have so much love and appreciation for you. Hope you all stay safe and that this horror ends soon! Wish I could give & do more.
