if you have time to scroll, you have time to read.
however, i'll start with a shorter version. family currently living in a tent in al mawasi:
two adults
three young adults
16 year old
14 year old
4 year old
infant
and
19 year old in egypt, separated from the family, and at risk of getting expelled from college due to tuition fees
no winter clothes. insufficient food. diapers needed for the baby. donate here. it takes thirty seconds. anything helps.
more information for those willing to spare more time:
a month after my new friend lobana (@lobana2001) got her bachelor's in english translation, israel's bloodthirsty attacks on gaza began. she also recently became an aunt to baby aziz. it should be a time of celebration for her, but, instead, she lives in a tent with the rest of her family and is forced to worry about whether her newborn nephew will stay warm enough as winter settles in.
her sister (nahariya) and her husband biggest problem should be baby aziz teething, not if they can afford to feed both themselves and the baby--if they can afford anything at all.
mohammed should be continuing his studies in computer science, but his university was destroyed.
mamdouh should be able to devote his complete attention to his studies in medicine in egypt, but, with his family trapped in gaza, how can he?
luqman (16) and asim (14) should be learning who they are, making new friends and good memories, and finding their place in the world. bayna (4) and aziz (infant) shouldn't have to know fear at all!
and that's not to mention the parents, naseem and reem, who are under unimaginable levels of stress trying to help their children through this literal nightmare.
please donate anything you can.
also: you can reach lobana on whatsapp! that's where i've been talking to her. you can message her on tumblr if you want her number. thank you so much if you read all of the way through.

as it’s now ramadan, the family is trying to participate as best they can under the circumstances. donations for food for iftar would be greatly appreciated 🌙
