Episode 79 - Moureen Kaki

This week, Moureen Kaki is Passing Through.

Moureen is a Palestinian American on the ground in Gaza. For nearly a year she's been working with humanitarian aid organizations like Glia International and Shabab Gaza to provide desperately needed medical assistance and food to the besieged population of Gaza. She's proof that when our governments fail to step up and intervene on behalf of a persecuted people, communities and individual humans will.

Moureen is a real life hero and inspiration, and it was an absolute honor to speak with her.

Join us for a conversation where Moureen shares her stories, talks about life in Gaza, describes how Israel's blockade not only creates famine, but creates black markets for food. We discuss the importance of community and belonging, family, finding beauty amongst the rubble, and the tenacity of the Palestinian soul.

Follow Moureen on Instagram @saha_stx and please feel free to donate and support her. You can donate via Venmo to @Saha_satx using the word "food distributions."

You can also follow @glia_intl and @shababgaza and support them and get updates on the situation in Palestine.
