Sabbah coordinates the Sameer Project with two other Palestinians living in the diaspora - California-based Lena Dajani, who organises medical aid, and an anonymous activist who runs the Instagram page, ‘Translating Falasteen’.

The trio have raised millions of dollars and coordinated with people on the ground in Gaza to respond to requests for food, medicine and emergency aid via Whatsapp groups.

With a skeleton team and a strong web of contacts, the group is agile and flexible in their approach, able to adapt quickly to the daily flurry of requests.

This is solidarity. This is love.

Watching this escalation from a safe place left me speechless, and disappointed in politics and the way the rich spend.

Not the first time. And certainly won’t be the last.
