In Celebration of Lindsey Graham's Death: Gaza's Forgotten Families Updates #7 & #8
Two Coordinators, Two Regions, One Shared Mission
Over the past week, thanks to your continued generosity, our teams completed two separate humanitarian initiatives across Northern Gaza and Central Gaza, delivering fresh food and clean drinking water to families living in some of the most underserved communities in Gaza.
Working independently, Abood served northern Gaza while Alaa focused on central Gaza and Gaza City. Together, these initiatives continued our mission:
We go where the gaps are. We actively seek out families that many aid agencies cannot reach, ensuring they are not forgotten.
And now, with one of the most evil genocider gone…let's help Palestinians survive to see them rebuild Gaza.
Update #7 — Northern Gaza
Facilitated by Abood A
What We Delivered
🥬 55 vegetable and fruit parcels
💧 17,000 liters of clean drinking water
🥛 162 milk cartons for the children.
📍 Marginalized communities in northern Gaza
Abood began shopping before sunrise, allowing him to secure lower wholesale prices and provide a wider variety of fresh produce, including lychee—a fruit many families had not enjoyed in a long time.
Rather than preparing more food parcels, he intentionally reserved funding for a much larger water delivery, allowing us to distribute 12,000 liters of clean drinking water the following day (7/10/26). He also distributed an additional 5,000 liters of water on 7/11/26 and 162 cartons of Almarai milk to the children.
A Moment We'll Remember
One woman receiving her parcel smiled as she tasted the lychee and commented on how delicious it was.
Sometimes hope arrives in unexpected ways—even through a piece of fresh fruit.

Update #8 — Central Gaza
Facilitated by Alaa
What We Delivered
🥬 43 vegetable parcels
💧 10,000 liters of clean drinking water
📍 Al-Maqousi Camp and Al Riyadh Camp
As always, Alaa's team sought out families who had not previously received assistance rather than returning to the same camp.
The vegetable initiative reached 43 displaced families, while two separate water initiatives brought clean drinking water to hundreds of families enduring severe shortages.
Moments We'll Remember
During the vegetable distribution, a young boy ran after the team calling:
My father is a martyr. Nobody brings us anything.
It was a heartbreaking reminder of why these initiatives matter.
During the first water distribution, hundreds of families gathered after hearing the truck had arrived.
Many had gone an entire week without clean drinking water.
Fear that the water would run out led to tension among those waiting.
Thankfully, our team quickly organized the crowd, reassured everyone, and ensured every family present received water peacefully.
The second water initiative brought another unexpected challenge.
On the way to Al Riyadh Camp, the water truck broke down.
Knowing families were already waiting, the team immediately contacted a mechanic and worked quickly to repair the truck rather than canceling the distribution.
Thankfully, the truck was repaired, and the team completed the delivery that same day despite scorching summer temperatures.
For families living in tents, this water means far more than relief from thirst.
It provides water for drinking, cooking, and basic hygiene—essentials for survival during one of Gaza's hottest periods of the year.

Thank you for continuing to stand with Gaza's Forgotten Families.
Every initiative reminds us that while the need remains immense, every parcel delivered, every liter of water distributed, and every family reached tells someone they have not been forgotten.
Donate: https://chuffed.org/project/183781-gaza-forgotten-families-fund
Note: Abood and Alaa do this work voluntarily. They don’t take anything from the labor costs that are set aside for distribution. They pass every bit of it straight to their team. They do this out of their own generosity. They’re both hardworking young men, brave as hell, going into areas no other initiative goes near — close to the yellow line — just to reach people who’ve been forgotten. Their families need support just as much as anyone else in Gaza. If you want to show love or appreciation, please donate directly to them.

Lindsey Graham, Senator Who Never Met a War He Didn’t Love, Dies Before Seeing the Next One
The nation mourns a man who devoted his life to ensuring other people’s children would die in wars he would never fight
WASHINGTON — Senator Lindsey Graham, 71, passed away Saturday evening, just days after returning from Ukraine, where he was hard at work ensuring the continuation of a war he would never personally fight, leaving behind a legacy of passionate advocacy for every military conflict that did not involve his own body.
Graham died as he lived — on someone else’s soil, drumming up someone else’s war.
He is survived by his Senate seat, approximately $15.6 million in campaign funds, Benjamin Netanyahu’s personal cell phone number, and the eternal gratitude of every defense contractor who ever needed a friend on the Senate Budget Committee.
A Life in Service — Of Whom, Exactly, Remains Unclear
Born in South Carolina, Graham dedicated over three decades to public service, a term used loosely here to mean enthusiastically cheering every American military intervention since the Clinton administration while ensuring none of the resulting coffins were his.
He was a proud veteran of the Air Force JAG Corps — a lawyer, not a combatant — a distinction that never once tempered his enthusiasm for sending other people’s sons and daughters into harm’s way.
Friends recall that Graham never met a war he didn’t love, a sanction he didn’t want harsher, or a bomb he didn’t want bigger. He is believed to have personally suggested bombing at least eleven countries, a personal record that stood unchallenged at the time of his death.
His Greatest Hits
In 2025, as humanitarian ships attempted to bring food and medicine to starving civilians in Gaza, Graham took to X to write: “Hope Greta and her friends can swim!” — a sentiment that encapsulates the warmth and Christian compassion for which he was universally beloved.
When asked about the thousands of Palestinian children killed in Gaza, Graham was unavailable for comment, as he was busy coaching Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on how to persuade President Trump to bomb Iran — a coaching session that, sources confirm, Graham provided free of charge, out of the goodness of his heart.
“If America pulls the plug on Israel, God will pull the plug on us,” Graham once said, a theological position not found in any known religious text but embraced wholeheartedly by a man who attended church and supported cluster munitions simultaneously.
On the Matter of Ukraine
Graham visited Ukraine ten times during the war. Ten. He met with Zelenskyy on Friday. He announced a Russia sanctions package the same day. He was, by all accounts, extremely busy ensuring the war continued right up until the moment he stopped breathing.
Ukrainian President Zelenskyy called Graham “a true defender of freedom.” Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu called him “a great friend of Israel.” These are the eulogies of men whose wars Graham helped fund, arm, and extend — with American tax dollars and American lives that were not his own.
He Will Be Missed
Senator Graham is mourned today by defense contractors, foreign heads of state, and President Donald Trump, who posted at an early hour on Truth Social that Graham was “one of the GREATEST people and Senators I have ever known” — which, coming from Donald Trump, is either the highest possible honor or a dire warning, depending on your perspective.
Graham was 71. He died before he could see the next war begin.
Funeral arrangements are pending. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to Raytheon.
I know Lindsey was an unfortunate inconvenience to us all. I personally didn't want to give him more than his worth, which is nothing. He was a genocidal piece of crap and wasn't worth a second thought of any of us. Still, it is very hard not to rejoice when one of the minions of the devil croaks.. Happy 11th of July everyone 🌹
