In light of the continuing humanitarian situation in Palestine, it is of the utmost need to do all we can to raise awareness, educate ourselves, and provide support in any manner that we can. This may include attending rallies, doing research, or providing financial assistance to Palestinian enterprises. Despite the fact that buying things is not a solution in any way, shape, or form, it is an additional opportunity for those who have the financial means to demonstrate their support and ensure that their efforts have a direct effect and reach the appropriate individuals.
