Why We Need To Be Extremely Concerned About Trump's Shutdown of the USAID.
Here are some historical comparisons:
Putin (Russia): He shut down independent charities and aid groups so only his government could control who got help. This let him spread propaganda and punish people who didn’t support him while making sure only loyalists got resources.
Hitler (Nazi Germany): He got rid of foreign aid groups so that no one outside Germany could see or interfere with what he was doing. This let him control who got help and push his extreme nationalist agenda without outside influence.
Orban (Hungary): He kicked out international aid groups so that only his government and his rich allies could decide how money was spent. This let him keep power, reward loyal businesses, and cut off outside checks on his actions.
In all these cases, getting rid of humanitarian aid wasn’t about saving money—it was about taking full control, isolating the country, and making sure only their supporters benefited. That’s what Trump is doing now by shutting down USAID.
Dr. Areej, Dr. Ahmad, and their child Sarra are a Gazan family who have been suffering from displacement, hunger, and lack of medical care throughout the genocide. Along with three other members of their family — Dr. Areej's mother and Dr. Ahmad's mother and father — they are seeking to evacuate to Egypt.
Please donate what you can and share. Donations have been slow — as of March 10, they have not yet raised even $2000. Can we try to raise at least $1000 in the next few days?
DO NOT SCROLL AWAY!!!

Help me get my father and mother out and secure their lives
The story of my father and mother who suffered from illness and lived under the wall of a tent
“The tent was their only shelter. Its winter wall was made of threadbare fabric that did not protect them from the cold or summer heat. Inside, they were lying on a thin mattress, two defeated bodies suffering from diabetes and high blood pressure. They woke up every day to the sound of chronic pain and dreams. That relaxes with every breath.

Donate to restore the lives of the Baalousha family
Hello my dears, I hope you are well. Please help me
I, Mahmoud Baalousha, have lived through five wars in my life, and in the 2006 war, the biggest shock in my life was the loss of my older brother, Muhammad...
I will tell you a little about my life
I had ambition and a bright future. I loved life and living in stability and security, and I loved working hard in my future...
I had a few days to go and I was about to start a new life and look for a suitable woman to marry.
I had achieved some things that I had dreamed of since October 7, which was buying a house, but the war destroyed my dreams and ambitions.
I had a nice exhibition related to children's and women's shoe sales
The exhibition was destroyed by incendiary shells fired by the occupation
I had accumulated debts and obligations to the merchants, and the fair was full of goods ..
And my father also had this happen to him in his exhibition
This destruction has caused us to lose our sources of livelihood and the livelihood of the workers who work in both exhibitions ..
* The war took everything from me
I lost my pets in our house
All I hope for now is to reunite my family in Egypt and save them from the disastrous situation in which they are living ..
Directed by my father, mother, and sister, who is studying engineering at Al-Azhar University ...
Knowing that the cost per person now is $5,000 per adult. Price may fluctuate. I ask you to help us by donating even the simplest things or by participating in our campaign. We will be grateful to you
Your donation may give us hope to achieve what we aspired to, and restore a little of the loss and devastation that befell us. ..
Thank you for listening to my humble message
My account and the accounts of a group of my friends who organize donation campaigns to help their families have been blocked for no known reason
It is clear that the Tumblr platform is against the Palestinians’ livelihood and achieving a better future
Everyone is against the Palestinians from living
But despite this, we will try to live and achieve a better future
