   So the other week I finally had some spare cash to throw at https://gazaesims.com and I’ve been anxiously checking my Nomad app every day since then, and today my eSIM was activated!
   :blobcatcheer: :wecan:

   If you’d like to help provide internet connectivity to folks in #Gaza, check out the https://gazaesims.com site and consider donating (and keeping topped up) an #eSIM also. This is the only way Gazans can currently communicate with the outside world.

     My second #eSIM has been activated! There’s been 1gb used in the last day, and now I have to remember to keep an eye on it to top it up…

     If you’d like to help someone in #Gaza have access to the outside world, you can buy #eSIMsForGaza too! Go to https://gazaesims.com for directions how. I’ve been buying Nomad eSIMs in 10gb increments, and I’m hoping this second one gets used for longer than my last one did.

     Well, it’s been two weeks now, and the old eSIM I had topped up for #Gaza is still not being used. I really hope something happened to the phone, and not the person. 😞

     I did buy another eSIM and sent it in to #eSIMsForGaza, and I’m waiting for that one to be activated now.

     Last I saw on Instagram, they are critically low on #eSIMs, so please if you can afford it, go to https://gazaesims.com and follow the directions for buying a Nomad eSIM!

     Oh no… my #eSIM in #Gaza has been at the same usage level for a couple of days now. Hoping maybe something happened to the phone, but not the person. 😞

     If it’s still stuck in the same place by payday, I guess I’ll get another one and submit it… but I hope it starts getting used again! #eSIMsForGaza #FreePalestine

     Go to https://gazaesims.com if you want to also help someone in Gaza communicate with the outside world.

     Update on my #Gaza #eSIM

     After the first 10GB disappeared in less than three days, the top-up 10GB took a couple days to activate, ngl I was worrying. But now it’s activated and being used at a much slower rate.

     As I mentioned last, I’m imagining a journalist with a ton of video trying to get it all uploaded while they had data… maybe they caught up? :blobcatheart:

     Anyway, https://gazaesims.com if you’d like to help someone going through hell keep touch with the outside world. #Palestine

     *phew* Whoever got my eSIM used almost all 10GB of data in two days. :blobcat_sweats: I definitely cannot afford $70+ a week, I’m hoping they just had some things they needed to catch up on, and will slow down to an affordable rate for me.

     Maybe a journalist with a lot of video to send? :blobcatthink:
