Imagine what I'm going through right now. Put yourselves in my shoes and imagine what you would do. I'm currently in a hospital in Gaza, as you can see in the picture. I'm sitting in a hospital that's almost completely destroyed, just like everything beautiful that the occupation has destroyed for us.
I swear I didn't want to write these words out of shame and embarrassment, but what happened to us in the Gaza Strip—the destruction, the genocide, the starvation of the people—is beyond imagination. My older brother, who was our provider, was killed by a treacherous bullet to the head. He was our only support, the one who provided us with food, and now we go to bed hungry, ravaged by the hunger that has consumed our bodies.
The most recent ceasefire has not meant an end to genocide. We must contextualize this truth within the larger historical reality: Palestine has been enduring genocidal aggression from Israel since 1948. There are periods of greater intensity, but no periods of actual relief from this state. This is the reality of all settler-colonial projects, including Zionism. We must combat this genocide not as an outlier, but as deeply embedded in global structures of colonialism.
Israel systematically targets the health of pregnant mothers and infants in Gaza. This is a reality every parent in Gaza knows. It has also been confirmed repeatedly by others. Pediatric healthcare professionals in Gaza have been bravely speaking out about how Israel is currently using restrictions of formula into Gaza to torture and kill Palestinian babies.
From the shore of Gaza, I am writing these words while watching the sunset with my children.
There is something heartbreaking about watching such a beautiful sunset while wondering what tomorrow will bring.
For many families around the world, home is a place of safety. For us, home has become a memory. The war has taken away so much—our security, our stability, and the simple routines that once made life feel normal.
Every morning, we wake up facing uncertainty. Buildings have collapsed, schools have been disrupted, healthcare is limited, and even basic necessities like food, clean water, and shelter have become daily challenges.
In this video, you will see small moments from our lives. You will see a father trying to bring smiles to his children's faces amidst hardship. You will see children who still dream, laugh, and hope, even under circumstances no child should have to endure.
My children, Israa and Suhaib, deserve what every child deserves: the chance to learn, play, and sleep safely, and to look to the future with hope, not fear.
We are not headlines, and we are not just numbers. We are a real family who struggle every day to survive and maintain our dignity.
Many people have already turned away from Gaza. I hope you won't.

Thank you for reading, sharing, and standing beside a family that refuses to give up hope.
Western journalists feel that there are no consequences for them, so they have started publishing provocative or inhumane statements in this way. I need to help
This may be my last words or the last time I write a post, so I will not forgive anyone who sees this post and does not support me even with a single word and ignores me.
I write these words in deep pain, with tears filling my eyes. I can no longer endure this situation. Hunger has exhausted me, along with my mother’s illness (liver cirrhosis) and the high cost of the medication she needs.
All I care about is easing my mother’s suffering from the illness she is facing and the constant pain that accompanies her. I am also trying to save my sick wife, who has been suffering from severe malnutrition and a serious lack of nutrients for many months. I beg you to help me buy the necessary medicine and treatment for both of them so they can regain their health and continue their lives, and help me save myself and my entire family.
Please donate if you are able. Your donation will allow me to buy medicine for my mother and provide treatment and food for my wife. It will save my mother, save my wife, save me, and save my whole family. Our lives are threatened by hunger and illness
Headline: A Cry for Help from Gaza — Please Don't Look Away 🇵🇸
This is Mohmd Hlywat (Vetted #475). I am appealing to your humanity to help save my family (my father, my brother, and myself) from the severe famine and ongoing danger in Gaza. After losing my mother and older brother, keeping them safe is my only goal.
Don't stop talking about Palestine. While the world moves on, our families continue to live with fear, loss, and displacement every day. Please do not let our story be forgotten, and do not let silence cover the suffering of our children. Be a voice for us—your share may bring hope to those who have nothing left but hope. 💔
Gaza is bleeding in silence, and its pain is not a story to be told it is a reality that people live every single day. Do not leave it alone to face fear, hunger, and loss. Be a voice for those exhausted by war, and share their suffering so that their pain is not forgotten by the world's conscience.

If my mother dies, please remember that this cry for help was seen and ignored.
Her condition is getting worse with every passing minute, and we are running out of time.
Just $10 from 50 people could give her another chance to live.
I’m begging you… don’t scroll past our pain as if it means nothing.
A small donation or even sharing this post could reach someone able to save her life.

My friend is experiencing the crisis of the family vehicle completely decomposing, with little recourse to address it on a month-to-month income. Please help save them from their car.
We survived a bombed tent documented by Al Jazeera, only to face a slow death by sickness and heat in Gaza...
About a year ago, our tent was directly bombed while we were inside. It was completely destroyed, and all our belongings turned to ashes. My wife, my children, and I miraculously survived. This horrific bombing was documented and broadcasted in a video on **Al Jazeera**, which you can see attached to this post.
We survived the bombs, but we are still living through the aftermath. To this day, I haven't been able to rebuild a proper tent or buy basic necessities. We don't have enough mattresses or blankets, no water tank, no summer clothes for my kids, and we can't even afford cooking gas or food due to the astronomical prices and famine.
On top of this starvation, a severe **chickenpox** outbreak is now ravaging the fragile bodies of my four children (Hani, Diana, Bashar, and my infant daughter Habiba). They are crying in agony inside a suffocating tent with no electricity, no light, and no cooling fan to ease the burning itch, as we cannot afford the expensive private electricity lines in the brutal summer heat.
I appeal to your humanity, to every kind-hearted donor: please do not leave us to suffer this slow death. We urgently need your support to buy immediate medication for my sick children, a cooling fan, a lighting battery, and basic food for my family.
