Where do you buy your products from?

The Sameer Project does not bring any aid into Gaza itself. Rather, we buy aid available on the market and give it to vulnerable and underserved communities (see How do you choose who to support? for more on this). The context in Gaza is ever changing but since the genocide began, very limited aid has been allowed into Gaza and the aid that is allowed in, is distributed to those authorised by the occupation or left in storage, guarded by security. Additionally, many trucks that enter Gaza bring commercial goods, rather than free aid. As a result, a false economy has been engineered – those who receive aid but don’t need the specific items they receive might decide to sell what they can; some sellers are war profiteers encouraged by the military occupation.
