How does OOB support Gazan families?

OOB has collected the mutual aid campaign information of over 800 families on a detailed spreadsheet with hopes of enhancing the families’ accessibility and reach to potential donors and advocates. These pre-existing campaigns are created and managed by the families themselves, and our role at OOB is simply to amplify them. We include campaigns from families regardless of their request, whether it be funds for medical aid, food, supplies of living, evacuation fees, or to rebuild their homes. 

The other leg of our operation occurs on social media, where we have amassed a growing community of dedicated advocates willing to share their privilege and reach by making videos and hosting livestreams to raise funds for families. OOB then provides physical, digital, and human resources to their efforts as part of the larger online advocacy community.

What is the end goal for OOB?

(i.e., when will the work be done?)

Operation Olive Branch will disband when Palestinians are completely free, living in safety and wellness, have the right of return to their homeland, and their homes and communities are rebuilt in Palestine. Our founding mission is to promote the humanitarian standard of safety and wellness through families’ direct mutual aid requests, and we will continue that mission until we are no longer needed.
