Soon over 1 Million Palestinians that fled to southern Gaza’s, Rafah city to find refuge, will need to move back to central Gaza.
In anticipation of this, we have opened our first main warehouse/hub in Khans Younis.
Large convoys from @globalempowermentmissionmena in Cairo will be delivering aid on a weekly basis to this GEM Anera hub.
From here, our @globalempowermentmissionmena @aneraorg teams deliver critical life saving aid throughout the region. This includes, south, central and northern Gaza. GEM is increasing staff, capacity and output by 100%. This is uncharted territory but we cannot let fear stop us from doing what we do. With only your help, we can increase the flow of basic living essentials to Palestinian civilians. Learn more about our various campaigns through our bio-link @globalempowermentmission

IMPORTANT READ…..
Our @globalempowermentmissionmena & @globalempowermentmissionua mission leads have extensive experience in these matters. One of our team members in Gaza was a Gunnery Sergeant in the US Marine Corps, working as a Logistics and Operations planner. He also worked as an Operations Officer in the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense. We have been doing similar humanitarian runs on the same road that this happened on.
The labeling of a targeted attack can have a multitude of meanings. Outlined below is a potential explantion on Al technology. This MUST be immediately analyzed so this can NEVER happen again.
Al systems performs target identification, but the process of target neutralization still requires human review and release of the payload. We believe the lAF drone teams had preemptive approval to neutralize possible threats, rather than having to request target review and final approval post identification.
That belief leaves an opening for two things to be correct at the same time: While the convoy was indeed intentionally targeted, the lAF may not have known it contained WCK workers, because the process did not include a standard target review after being identified, to include looking at deconfliction data for that area.
This possiblity allows civilian entities to be right in saying the attack was intentional, while also allowing AF to say that they didn’t intend to kill aid workers.
The failure is, IMO, that the target was not seriously considered after target identification, regardless of the identification method being Al or human. Israeli military units, like the drone teams, should revisit their rules of engagement and change operations from preemptive authorizations, to adopting a ‘responsive’ system for target neutralization that requires review of deconfliction data.
We chose to write this because we feel it’s important that aid groups are not discouraged from supporting Palestinian civilians in Gaza. Palestinians need us more than ever now and we cannot turn our backs on them.
We are all they have at this point. Without food, water and medical support, over 2 M people’s chances of survival would be extremely low. @bbcnews

Morning meetings with our incredibly brave front line mission leads @globalempowermentmissionua. This is where intel is shared and strategy is implemented by GEM UA ops director Andriy Negrych. Every Monday this team splits up and heads out east to the 6 main oblasts (states) under constant bombardment. These warriors risk their lives everyday to ensure that civilians caught inside this war have basic human living essentials.
We are currently servicing over 375 towns per month.
225,000 GEM HGBF family necessities kits are packed by IDP’s in Kyiv. 15 to 25 full semi trucks of aid leave here daily. The food in our boxes is homegrown in Ukraine. This program supports 6 farms and a consortium of food factories.
This is what a modernized and efficient, fine tuned humanitarian model looks like.
In 2023, we reduced imports by 90% therefore empowering the people and countries we support. This model has been scaled and implemented now across multiple continents.

GEM Bstrong teams are on the ground in the Texas Panhandle distributing Bstrong cash cards to those affected by the fires. The Smokehouse Creek Fire alone has burned over 1 Million acres in Texas and Oklahoma as of yesterday - becoming the second largest fire in US history.
There are still disaster declarations in place for 60 counties and a temporary shutdown of a nuclear weapons facility. GEM Bstrong will also be providing pallets of disaster relief throughout the affected regions to assist those impacted by fires. Stay tuned for updates and please visit the link in our bio section above to learn how you can help support this mission. #GEM #Bstrong #texas #panhandle #wildfire #smokehousecreekfire #disasterrelief @bethennyfrankel

GEM Bstrong is responding to the Smokehouse Creek Wildfire in the Texas Panhandle. This is the second-largest fire in Texas state history. There are multiple fires that have cumulatively burned through over 500,000 acres of land, prompting evacuation orders in several counties. The full extent of the destruction is still being assessed, but due to homes lost and significant infrastructural damage, people are dealing with power outages and water shortages. A disaster declaration is in place for 60 counties and a temporary shutdown of a nuclear weapons facility has taken place. GEM Bstrong is providing pallets of disaster relief throughout the affected regions to assist those impacted by fires. To learn more about this mission, please visit the link in our bio above.

Snippets from our GEM Europe branch in Warsaw, Poland. In 2023 this branch and chapter distributed a combined $16,543,724 of humanitarian aid to the region.
One arm is solely focused on supporting Ukrainians year round through our partnership with HGBF. The other arm supported disasters in Türkiye, Greece, Italy, Slovenia and Iceland.
Dollar versus Impact is what we pride ourselves upon. Our @globalempowermenteurope team consists of only eight Polish employees. This branch’s corporate overhead in 2023 was 3% which is identical to our US operation’s overhead.
