Younger Palestinian YouTuber Yousef, 16, who was born in the United Arab Emirates, lived in Gaza since 2021 for financial reasons with his family. His father remains in Dubai, while his mother, sister, and brother are in Gaza. They were forced to evacuate multiple times during the war, with Yousef now back at his home after a ceasefire expanded the safe zone. Life in Gaza before and after October 7 - Before the war, Gaza had a functioning culture and markets, though limited by blockade. The minimum wage was around $100 per month; people were generally content with what they had. - October 7, 2023, the day the war began, severely disrupted life. Yousef woke early for a history test, then learned what happened and realized he would likely never have imagined the current situation. He and his family have tried to leave Gaza since day one, but have not succeeded. Current conditions and daily life - Power and water: Electricity is almost entirely via solar panels; ordinary fuel and grid electricity are scarce. Water sources include seawater (for bathing) and wells; at the war’s start, he had to collect water in gallons, but the situation has improved somewhat since the ceasefire. - Food: Markets have scarce basic items. Eggs, chicken, meat, and fish are often unavailable for months. Prices are volatile and high; for example, cucumber prices reached around 70 shekels ($20) at one point, later around 20 shekels (>$5), whereas before the war they were much cheaper. Rent for a two-room apartment can be around $500 per month. Some regions have generators, but electricity is otherwise limited. - Cooking: No gas for ovens; they cook with firewood. - Hygiene and sanitation: Sewage systems are broken in many areas; tents used during displacement require makeshift bathrooms with holes. Rain can worsen conditions in tents. - Transportation and security: Very few people own cars; some have stolen vehicles during peak fighting. Security largely depends on Hamas, which has resumed some police functions after the ceasefire. In earlier months, security was lax as people prioritized evacuation and basic needs. - Hospitals and healthcare: Hospitals exist but are under-resourced. Anesthesia is scarce; in emergencies, some injuries require treatment abroad. If pregnant, many rely on scarce local facilities, and some situations require evacuation outside Gaza for proper care. - Communications: Yousef relies on a neighbor’s solar charging setup or other makeshift arrangements to charge devices; internet remains unreliable. Economy and aid - Unemployment is nearly universal; many rely on aid distributions. Yousef considers himself relatively fortunate due to donations and his ability to earn via a fundraiser and crypto transfers. - Money and transfer: He uses crypto wallets and GoFundMe-style fundraisers; a portion is charged by exchange offices, sometimes as high as 50% during the worst periods (later around 20%). Thus, sending $1,000 could yield around $500 to him at the worst times. - Aid access varies; some households receive frequent distributions, others rarely or never. Yousef notes a contrast between his own comparatively supported situation and the more desperate conditions of many others. Family and future - Yousef’s mother and siblings remain in Gaza; his father is in Dubai. He has considered studying marketing or business, possibly in the United States, though he has also contemplated studying in the UAE. He plans to return to school and complete high school, with university options in the US or UAE. - He has built a personal brand online and now collaborates with Human Concern International to distribute aid and sponsor orphans, as well as run daily food distributions. Support can be provided via a fundraiser link, with crypto options available. Ceasefire impact and outlook - Since the ceasefire, the safe zone has expanded, and more aid and goods have entered Gaza, though needs remain severe. Yousef believes the war will feel truly over when Hamas-related danger abates and borders reopen for substantial, sustained relief and reconstruction. The interview ends with mutual encouragement and a plan to meet again in person as circumstances allow. Yousef expresses resilience and a continued commitment to sharing his story.

An Afghan Special Forces soldier claims 300 fighters want to defend Ukraine. Vladimir Zelensky created the International Legion for foreign fighters. Elite Afghan commandos, trained and equipped by the U.S. for $83 billion before the U.S. withdrawal in 2021, seek to join. Sergeant Major Kadeem, a 15-year veteran who served with U.S. forces, has been trying to enlist. He claims 6,000 US-trained Afghan troops are interested. However, Kyiv is reluctant to recruit them. Ryan Ruth, who connects foreigners to Ukrainian military units, says his Ukrainian contacts are against bringing in Afghans, fearing Russian spies. Wagner, a Russian private military group, is reportedly recruiting Afghan commandos, offering $2500-$3500 a month with housing. Some believe the U.S. should help these Afghan soldiers, especially if they fight for Ukraine, and ultimately bring them to the United States.

John Featherson, a former migrant shelter director in Massachusetts, is interviewed in a setting at what is described as a Holiday Inn facility connected to Elliot Human Services. The interaction begins with the interviewer being told to stop recording or leave, on private property and trespassing grounds. Featherson makes a series of allegations about the operations and costs associated with migrant shelters and related services: - He asserts that “everything is free” for the migrants, contrasting it with the assumption that they pay for amenities. He notes that migrants have access to doctors’ appointments in Boston or immigration hearings in New Hampshire, and questions whether they use their own cars, suggesting instead that they request Uber or Lyft rides. - He claims the amount spent on Uber and Lyft for transportation is “well in excess of $100,000 a month.” - He describes a logistics operation akin to Amazon, stating that “every day I would order tens of thousands of dollars worth of product from Amazon every single day, seven days a week,” including diapers, formula, toothbrushes, hair dryers, combs, and strollers, delivered as needed. - He notes the presence of free on-site daycare at the shelter, countering any idea that children are transported daily to external facilities, with the daycare provided “on-site there.” - He mentions a school bus used for this purpose as part of the on-site arrangements. - He explains that as the hotel became overwhelmed with migrant families, there were fights over washers and dryers. He states that “the state contracted this company to come in five days a week and do everybody's laundry,” with a process of dropping off laundry by 07:00 and having it back by 17:00, folded and provided at no cost to the taxpayers of Massachusetts. - He addresses media portrayals of migrants by asserting what he says migrants claim about why they came, juxtaposing it with a narrative about past displacement from Haiti. He recounts a story: migrants claim they came because of promises of “everything was free” under a new administration. - He recounts a succession of migration routes and destinations: from Haiti to Chile for ten years after an earthquake, then to Brazil, and finally to America, with his interpretation that their reason for coming is tied to the claim that “Joe Biden told us everything was free.” Throughout, Featherson emphasizes the scale and variety of services he claims were provided to migrants and questions the underlying motivations and narratives surrounding their presence in the facilities.

The focus is on the exploitation of Ukraine's fertile land, with foreign corporations eyeing agricultural opportunities. Despite promises of a referendum on land sales, the moratorium was lifted in 2021, allowing foreign-controlled companies to buy land through loopholes. The U.S. has heavily invested in Ukraine, providing over $46 billion in military aid since early 2022. Concerns arise that once peace is established, Ukraine will face immense debt repayment demands, with current debts exceeding its GDP. The country is experiencing severe inflation and rising poverty, while many citizens are sent to the front lines, leading to significant casualties. Zelensky's actions appear to align with foreign interests, raising questions about the future of Ukrainian sovereignty and the well-being of its people.

A soldier for the UN from another country with a card containing a computer chip was sent to a city to wait for instructions via phone. He was hesitant to stay long term in the country and receive a monthly payment of $22100. Plans are expected to unfold within the next 90 to 120 days.

I'm angry at Americans for protecting Zelensky. He's an unlawful president whose idol is Putin. Zelensky always lived in Moscow and dreamed of joining high society. He's a comedian, and Ukrainians support him because of a movie where he played a president – it's just marketing. When Zelensky was a comedian, the greatest honor for him was when Putin watched him. I know this because I'm a singer who performed at the same comedy show in Russia. Zelensky has nothing to do with benefiting Ukraine or Ukrainians. He even participated in an LGBTQ music band. Zelensky always wanted to be at the top, no matter the cost. He's the kind of person who would do anything to get what he wants. All the money donated to Ukraine goes into his and his friends' pockets. My friends in Ukraine have received nothing during this time. None of them have gotten even a piece of bread from the billions Americans have sent.

Hola, ¿Cómo estás? Soy de Venezuela y llevo un mes aquí con mi familia. Muchos pasan el día aquí sin trabajo. Tenemos que esperar 165 días para obtener un permiso de trabajo. También hay personas de Ecuador que apoyan al presidente Biden. Algunos aún no tienen seguridad social.

Zelensky, the president of Ukraine, is described as a “cokehead” and a manufactured political figure. He is said to have been manufactured by Igor Kolomoyski, described as a Ukrainian Israeli Cypriot oligarch who owns OnePlusOne Media in Ukraine. OnePlusOne Media is claimed to have financed and produced the TV show Servant of the People, which hired Zelensky, a well known actor with zero political experience or even political interest, to play the role of President in the show. The show ran from 2015 to 2018 and achieved huge ratings, with claims that there was disproportionate propaganda and PR for the show, some saying it was completely astroturf. Viewers who know Ukrainian and watched the show described it as mildly enjoyable but not a big deal. It is asserted that Kolomoisky created a political party called Servant of the People, mirroring the TV show, and their candidate was Zelensky. The claim is that Kolomoisky financed Zelensky to the point that Zelensky today is a billionaire. The speaker notes that not many actors are billionaires, implying Zelensky’s wealth is unusually high for an actor, and contends that Zelensky is the “finger puppet” of Kolomoisky. The narrative continues that Kolomoyski also financed Hunter Biden, to the tune of $50,000 a month plus additional benefits, in 2014, when Burisma, the Ukrainian oil and gas company, hired Hunter Biden to be on its Board of Directors at $50,000 a month. It questions who controls Burisma, asserting Kolomovsky is the same person who manufactured Zelensky as President of Ukraine. The speaker asserts that Zelensky and Hunter Biden are “spiritual cousins,” both bankrolled by the same man, Kolomovsky. It is claimed that both have serious drug addictions and both are intimately involved in Ukraine, with a contrast that Zelensky does not have a father who is President of the United States. There is a claim that the White House is freaking out over Ukraine, and that in Ukraine there are many secrets. The assertion is that “the more unsavory people in the Washington establishment” have used Ukraine as their private piggy bank, financially exploiting it and stripping it of monies and assets needed by the Ukrainian people. This is linked to Ukraine being one of the poorest countries in Europe due to corruption and Western exploitation. Hunter Biden’s $50,000 a month is highlighted, with a remark that $50,000 a year would solve the problems of four or five families in Ukraine, illustrating the disparity given Ukraine’s poverty. The laptop is invoked to mention a possible 10% kickback to the old man, Joe Biden. The speaker asserts that Kolomovsky financed Zelensky and Joe Biden, and suggests there are many others who financed Ukraine’s leaders to carry out “evil deeds,” asserting that the West is terrified the truth will come out in Ukraine.

Chairman Perry and members of the caucus, I thank you for inviting me to discuss what I describe as the most historic mass migration crisis ever to strike The United States. What has happened at the Southern border is history-making in scope with long-lasting second, third, and fourth order implications for American citizens. The mass migration that began around inauguration day 2021 calls for a broader public discussion about what it is and how it works. During its first year and now into its second, I interviewed hundreds of immigrants, most recently on an eight-day fact-finding journey to Tapachula, on the Guatemala–Mexico border. From my vantage point, there is one root cause most often cited by the immigrating foreign nationals for coming now: that President Joe Biden opened the American southern border wide to them. They see on social media, from hundreds of thousands who have gone before, secure quick releases and resettlement into America—the ultimate golden chalice—and they decide to gamble large smuggling investments that criminal smuggling gangs will get them in to stay too. With such an enticing return on smuggling investment, no thinking person should wonder why this global migration hit a national record of nearly 2,000,000 border patrol apprehensions in a single year with probably 500,000 more gotaways, an undercount. The caucus should know that nonprofit advocacy groups and, more notably, the United Nations appear to be working alongside the criminal smuggling organizations on the same mission. United Nations agencies such as the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) are providing hard cash, food, shelter, legal services, and psychological services along the migrant trails, which also materially facilitate journeys that everyone involved knows lead to illegal American border crossings. In various forms, the UN and the nonprofits it funds contribute to the current mass migration crisis. I found a UNHCR stamp booklet discarded on the Rio Grande riverbank on the Mexican side, and I observed handout cash debit cards to migrants in long lines. Workers reported that they give $400 every fifteen days to families of four, renewable every two weeks. The UN tells me only the most vulnerable receive this cash, yet in Reynosa and Tapachula, long lines at UNHCR offices revealed regular family units, many with debit cards, who said they might have to leave the migrant trail and go home without this money. The cards are part of a vast and escalating UN program called cash-based interventions along the migrant trail through Latin America, including unrestricted, unconditionally usable plastic cash cards, cash-filled envelopes in some areas, money transfers for lodging and pharmaceutical prescriptions, and something called movement assistance—transportation money to move forward when camps empty and reform further north. Credible reporting shows the UN is providing these forms of assistance along the trail from South America to Texas. On a Kakuta to Bogota, Colombia segment, the UN was seen handing out food, clothing, and necessities worth an estimated $200 to $300 per migrant per day. Non-cash assistance keeps migrants on the US trail; in Tapachula, Mexican asylum approval is important for permission to move legally beyond the southern provinces toward the US border. But many coming from Guatemala tell Mexican immigration they are seeking US jobs, which is not an eligible asylum claim, so they are denied. I did learn of a UN-funded migrant advocacy center where a full-time staff of certified psychologists helps migrants recover repressed memories of more eligible persecution. This manager said his group also trains migrants on how to pass muster with Mexican asylum interviewers the first time around, producing a 90% success rate for thousands a year. Other UN-funded psychologists offer similar work. If true, the UNHCR in Mexico has found another way to keep thousands more on the trail toward the American border. Some will defend this UN assistance as lifesaving; others will view it differently, and they will want to know more. Americans deserve to know the full extent of it, because the United States is the UN’s largest donor, and the US Congress appropriates a huge amount of money to the UN each year. Thank you. I note that the border is a national security concern. Recently, I reported a Venezuelan crossing the Rio Grande from Matamoros to Brownsville, and the FBI-wanted individual held in ICE headquarters here in Washington, D.C. intervened and demanded he be ordered released because he might get COVID in detention. He is now living freely pursuing an asylum claim in Detroit. Thank you.

Thousands of Ukrainian girl was imported to Israel to walk in prostitutions. "Every block you have an apartment, Russian prostitute." "We call it Russian because we do not know to tell the difference between Russian and Ukraine." "You're gonna make $4,000 a month." "From the minute they took their passport, they take them to some place." "we need to make you the visa and the papers, and that's it." "They bury them in a basement for twenty years. They don't see the day or the daylight." "They put their gun guys with guns, and they force them to be slaves over there." "Their husband and wife and their children do not know where she disappeared." "I wonder one thing I don't understand. How come by now they didn't get the point? They continue to bring them." "You didn't see the thousand."

"I'm 35. I'm from The United States, from California. I'm 35. I'm from The United States, from California. I just came out here about two weeks ago." "I want to be in the military out here. I want to help out wherever I can." "I should have learned a little bit of the language before coming out here because I've been completely lost and confused, but I'm happy to be here." "I have two daughters. One of them is six and the other one is four." "When everything's kinda settled down out here, I hope that they will come out here to visit. And, and whenever I have time, I'll go visit them." "But, ideally, I want to permanently relocate to Ukraine." "It's a beautiful country that's easier for for for myself to accomplish what I wanna accomplish in my life out here."

It's funny, you guys in America are fighting over egg prices right now. I'm in Colombia, heading to the supermarket to show you how much a carton of eggs costs here - it's gonna shock you. Alright, so check this out. No shortage of eggs here. A carton is about six to seven thousand, which is roughly a dollar 75. A big pack of 30 eggs is about 14 or 15 thousand. With every four thousand being a dollar, that's about $3.50 for a huge carton. And y'all are fighting over this in America? A dollar 50 for these eggs, come on. This is exactly why I'd never go back to America. I'd rather live abroad and avoid those crazy prices back home. You're welcome.

A 56-year-old from the US, now living in Hawaii, traveled to Ukraine because he views the conflict as a clear battle between good and evil. He believes the world should unite to support Ukraine, demonstrating kindness and care. His initial goal was to fight, but due to his lack of military experience, he shifted to promoting support for the Ukrainian army. He emphasizes the need for thousands of people from around the globe to join the fight, regardless of age, gender, or skill level. He feels the world is at a critical juncture, questioning whether humanity will stand for human rights or remain complacent. He was emotionally impacted by visiting Irpen and speaking with foreign fighters who sold everything to support Ukraine. He urges people to donate, join the International Legion, or provide humanitarian aid. He highlights the availability of various units for fighters of all skill levels and stresses the importance of simply showing support for Ukraine and human rights, even without fighting. He is disappointed by the lack of global response and questions whether the world truly cares.

Every one of us is responsible for the outcome of this war, and our actions matter. When I ask for just $5 to buy a vest and protect a Ukrainian life, I'm disappointed when there's no response. It makes me question humanity and whether we'll end up on the right side. If you have military experience, please encourage others to come and fight. We have units all over, Georgian, Crimean, Ukrainian, Territorial Defense, Foreign Legion. I put a 74-year-old in a unit, we have women fighters; any gender, any age, any skill level. If you want to fight, come see me, and I'll put you in a unit.

Maxim, a former commander of a Russian assault unit and now a veteran instructor, says he joined the war after volunteering in Donbas in 2014; in 2022 a group of volunteers became an assault unit and he now runs a private training base not tied to the state. He fought in the battle for Izum, the offensive on Sloviansk, and the breakout from Izum encirclement. He explains PMCs are not what the West calls them; volunteer units sign 'short contracts—six months' while the 'regular army' offers longer contracts and bonuses, with 'about $37,000' for signing in Yekaterinburg. Recruits are chosen by conscription history, trades, or specialized skills. The war is described: 'Best case scenario, 2027.' 'Worst case, maybe around 2030.' Ukraine’s infantry quality has dropped since 2022, but specialists remain strong. He cites the 'golden hour' and antibiotics in personal first aid kits due to longer evacuations.

I'm Zelensky, and my political career was manufactured by Ukrainian Israeli Cypriot oligarch Igor Kolomoyski. He owns OnePlusOne Media, which financed the TV show *Servant of the People*, where I played the president. The show was popular and Kolomoyski then created a political party with the same name, and I became their candidate, despite having no political experience. Kolomoyski's financial support has made me a billionaire. He also financed Hunter Biden, paying him $50,000 a month to sit on the board of Burisma, which Kolomoyski controls. Ukraine has been used as a piggy bank by unsavory people in the Washington establishment, leading to corruption and exploitation that have made it one of the poorest countries in Europe. The West is terrified the truth about Ukraine will come out, exposing their secrets and corrupt dealings.

I went to Ukraine after the revolution, joining the battalion and later the M Division. It was different from the US, as various military organizations were active. Our battalion had people from Norway, Finland, and the US. Before being organized into different units, there were many Americans. I believe Zelensky fears us more than the Russians. He constantly talks about new weapons, but we haven't seen any. He allowed the arrest of defenders and sent us to die for an aluminum plant. While he treated us well and gave us citizenship and medals, when it came to social security cards, he wanted us to die for his own goals.

This man doesn't yet know he's being watched, marked for death by Ukrainian military intelligence, unwittingly recruited as a suicide bomber to drive a vehicle to Crimea and cross the peninsula's bridge. The hybrid Chevy he's transporting appears ordinary, but its battery compartment conceals a 130 kilograms of Finnish made explosives, which were packed into it on the territory of Ukraine and then passed through many customs ports throughout European cities. The bomb was designated to detonate remotely as the vehicle crossed the Crimean Bridge. This was the plan of Ukrainian military intelligence: recruit a Ukraine sympathizer to drive the rigged vehicle to Crimea through Georgia. "He said that I would need to send him documents, my passport, individual insurance account number, and driver's license. I sent him all of this, after which, he said that I would need to go to Mineral Nivode to customs and find out what documents would be needed to clear the car through customs. After which, I would need to go to Levantov City to the Federal Financing Monitoring Service, the state automobile inspectorate, and find out what documents would be needed to register it in Russia. After which, she said that I would need to go to where this car was supposed to arrive. Then I was supposed to pick up the car there and drive it to the Republic Of Crimea via the Crimean Bridge." The driver was detained by FSB officers. The driver was promised $2,500 for the job. Russian forensic specialists are now examining the vehicle to identify others in on the plot. This strategy is no novelty for Ukraine's military intelligence. In October 2022, a bomb hidden on a truck killed five people on the Crimean Bridge. Since then, Russian security services have intercepted numerous similar plots. "It's terrible. They definitely took advantage of me, without even thinking for a second about what would happen to me, to my family, to anyone else. I don't know how the people who plan it do all this work. But in my opinion, they don't understand at all that our border is locked, how people work here." In every case, drivers believed they were doing legitimate business with their contacts from Ukraine, which they found via Telegram and throughout other messenger apps. None of them realized they were just expendable and sent one way. And while their gullibility and sympathy for Kyiv's authorities didn't cost them their lives, they have forfeited their freedom.

Me indigna que humillen a quienes ayudamos a cumplir sus sueños, echándolos como perros sin pagarles. Los envían a zonas peligrosas sin respetar su integridad ni darles comida. Algunos colombianos lo aceptan, pero no es justificable. La guerra ya terminó, no sabía que estábamos en esta situación. Translation: It angers me that they humiliate those we help achieve their dreams, treating them like dogs without paying them. They are sending them to dangerous areas without respecting their integrity or providing them with food. Some Colombians accept it, but it is not justifiable. The war is over, I did not know we were in this situation.

Our fighters liberated Sviatohirsk and found commercial documents in a children's home regarding child trafficking, with links to British private military companies. Coca-Cola was one of the payers. This issue is crucial - 7% of Ukraine's budget income, $2 billion, comes from illegal organ trafficking. This system is state-sanctioned.

I went to Ukraine after the revolution, joining the battalion and later the M Division. It was different from the US, as various military organizations were active. Our battalion had people from different countries, including Americans. I believe Zelensky fears us more than the Russians. He constantly talks about new weapons, but we haven't seen any. He allowed the arrest of defenders and sent us to die for an aluminum plant. While he treated us well and gave us citizenship and medals, when it came to social security cards, he showed he wants us to die. I shared this thought with some members of our squad. He sent us to die for his own purposes.

The brigade was left with only 20% of its members, not allowed to take them. People are being grabbed off the streets, farmers are taken and thrown to the front lines. There's no gear, no ammunition, no weapons. My will was broken. My comrades and I believe that if we had gone from Rusnea to Kyiv, all of this would have ended long ago.

Speaker 0 and Speaker 1 discuss the life of a 16-year-old Palestinian from Gaza who was born in the United Arab Emirates and moved to Gaza in 2021 for financial reasons. The war broke out in 2023, and since then he has been stuck in Gaza despite repeated attempts to leave. He describes the impact of two years of conflict, the ceasefire, and the ongoing uncertainty. Key facts and chronology - Background: The narrator is Palestinian, born and raised in the UAE. In 2021 his family moved to Gaza for financial reasons; his father remains in the UAE, while his mother and siblings stay in Gaza. They planned to stay about two years, but the 2023 war trapped them. - October 7 day: He was 14 at the time. He woke early for a history test, learned of the attacks, and expected a bad outcome. He wanted to leave Gaza from day one of the war and has tried repeatedly to exit, but has not succeeded after two years. - Ceasefire and current status: The ceasefire brought some relief. The safe zone expanded, the area around his home became safer, and more trucks and goods are entering. He is back in his home, though the security and reconstruction process remains incomplete. Living conditions in Gaza - Daily life: He describes a world of limited resources, frequent power shortages, and reliance on solar panels for charging devices. Water access fluctuates; at one point the family ran out of water for about a month, later improving somewhat. They obtain water from wells and the sea, and use firewood for cooking due to lack of gas. - Food and markets: Food in markets is scarce and expensive. He notes prices are high (cucumbers once costing up to four times their price in the UAE or the US). Eggs, chicken, meat, and fish are hard to find; basic proteins are scarce, with cheese and some dairy options as partial sources. He emphasizes the high price of essentials and the difficulty of obtaining a stable supply. - Housing and sanitation: Many people live in tents or destroyed houses, with limited or nonfunctional sewage systems in some areas. When in tents, they lacked proper sewage; they dug holes for bathrooms and water management was challenging, especially during rain. - Hospitals and medical care: Hospitals exist but face significant constraints, including limited anesthesia and delays in accessing care. In some cases, severe injuries require treatment abroad. Ambulance service exists but depends on fuel and urgency, and access to timely care is highly variable. - Security and law: During peak fighting, security was unstable and theft occurred, with cars often having plates removed. Once the ceasefire began, Hamas resumed some policing and security roles to maintain order, and residents could report stolen items through local channels. Economic situation and money - Unemployment and income: The unemployment rate is effectively near 99-100%, with most people unable to work. The narrator’s own finances are aided by a combination of donations, a crypto wallet, and a fundraising page. He uses a fundraiser to receive crypto, which an intermediary exchanges for cash locally, taking a sizable percentage (up to 50-55% at the worst), though it has decreased to around 20% recently. - Rent and housing costs: Rent for a two-bedroom apartment can be around $500/month, and in some cases more. The narrator had to pay around $5,000 for evacuation assistance for family members, but was put in a long queue; funds are being held until border openings allow exit. Personal situation and future plans - Family: His mother and siblings are in Gaza with him; his father is in Dubai. The family continues to rely on aid distributions and informal networks. - Education and future: He hopes to return to school and finish high school, with plans for university—potentially in the United States or the UAE, studying marketing or business. He has built a substantial online following and brand identity as part of his life in Gaza. - Humanitarian work and giving: He collaborates with Human Concern International to distribute aid, sponsor orphans, and provide daily food distributions. He also has a personal fundraiser and a crypto-based support channel for those who want to help. Outlook - He remains hopeful that the ceasefire will hold and that external access will improve, enabling reconstruction and possibly allowing him and others to leave Gaza for education and stability. He notes a sense of exhaustion but continues to post and engage with his audience, aiming to finish school and pursue studies abroad or in the UAE. He believes the war will end with resolution outside of Hamas’ control and expresses a determination to remain hopeful and continue his activities despite the hardships.
