On July 29, 2024, I received the following update from SAY NO TO GENOCIDE!!! HELP MUHAMMAD SAVE HIS FAMILY!!!:
Hello Team,
The last few weeks have been a political whirlwind and the Olympic controversies have all created distractions from Palestinian causes.
All the while Israel has continued ground invasion of safe zone camps and its unlawful persecution and murder of civilians.
The Palestinian Health Ministry has declared a polio endemic in Gaza strip and 1 million vaccinations have been sent but it is unknown if they will allow these vaccines to enter Gaza.
Polio, or poliomyelitis, is a highly contagious disease caused by a virus that spreads primarily through person-to-person contact. The virus can be transmitted in a few ways:
Fecal-oral route
The virus can be passed from an infected person’s stool to another person’s mouth through contaminated hands, food, water, or objects. This can happen if someone eats raw or undercooked food, drinks contaminated water, or puts a contaminated object in their mouth.Respirstory droplets
The virus can also be spread through droplets from an infected person’s throat when they cough or sneeze, especially if they don’t cover their mouth.Oro-oral route
The virus can also be spread through close contact with an infected person, such as when caring for them.Most commonly the virus is transmitted by person-to-person spread mainly through the faecal-oral route or, less frequently, by a common vehicle (for example, contaminated water or food) and multiplies in the intestine.
Children under 5 years old are most vulnerable to polio. However, anyone who is unvaccinated or anyone with a weakened immune system can get polio, regardless of age. The risk of infection increases if there are other unvaccinated people in the same environment, especially if poor hygiene conditions are present such as in the refugee camps.
Muhammad has shared that the cost of basic necessities has skyrocketed and his family must spend about $100 per day or more to obtain basic necessities. This is dwindling their reserves for relocation.
Please post and share Muhammad’s campaign. Our continued support of this family is the only life line they have known during this crisis.
I look forward to the day that we can all rejoice in this family’s liberation.
But we must help keep them alive.
Please don’t give up on Palestine.
If you can spare $5 or €5 any amount will help.
Don’t give up on Palestine.
In solidarity and love,
Jenn
