My name is Israa, I'm 34 years old, and I'm a mother of three. I live with my children and my husband, who is 36 and works in construction. We used to support each other financially to provide for our family. We had a large, beautiful house, and our life was full of love and joy. Then, in an instant, everything changed. We lived through a horrific night of bombing and missiles on January 4, 2024. We were at home when Israel didn't drop any evacuation leaflets. Their attack was sudden, and we were surrounded. We miraculously escaped by the grace of God. It was a very difficult day, especially for my children. 💔 They now suffer from constant panic attacks. They are haunted by fear and grief over the martyrdom of my brothers, who were my support in this life. May God have mercy on them.
. 🎯 Our house burned down completely. The intense fire reduced it to ashes, making it uninhabitable. We were forced to live in tents for months in harsh conditions. My children suffered from rashes, infections, and the colds of winter and the heat of summer. I couldn't bear it anymore. My husband and I decided to clean our house and live in it, however we could. We returned and lived in our burned-out home, which needs extensive repairs—more extensive than you can imagine—but it's our only refuge amidst these difficult circumstances. We have nowhere else to go.
These are pictures of our house. After the Israeli army withdrew from the camp, we returned to check on my house. I hoped to find it in good condition, but what happened to it is beyond words. Thank God. 😢💔👇👇
And now this is the house after cleaning; it needs very, very extensive renovations. 👇💔 The house needs its windows closed.
As for my three children, Azzam, Mira, and Abdullah, my heart aches for them constantly. They have been deprived of their childhood and their most basic rights. We try to alleviate their suffering, and my son Abdullah and I suffer from malnutrition due to the scarcity of healthy food, vitamins, and medical care. We need nutritional supplements, which are very expensive, and we cannot afford them. I am a mother, weigh 51 kilograms, and am 34 years old. I constantly suffer from fatigue, dizziness, and a rapid heartbeat with any exertion. 💔😔
My husband suffers from a herniated disc in his back. He's in a lot of pain, and I hate seeing him like this. Due to the famine and lack of medicine and medical treatment, his mobility has been severely limited. He can only move very little and needs urgent surgery, but we don't have the money. It would be best to have it done outside of Gaza. Right now, he's living on painkillers, injections, and a healthy diet. 💊 He needs $300 a month for treatment.I will post pictures of his medical report below 👇💔
My daughter Mira needs speech therapy, which costs $60 a month. Because education is suspended, I enrolled my three children (Azzam, Mira, and Abdullah) in a learning center. They need $300 a month to cover the center's fees, including school supplies and stationery.
My children 👇
We're not just asking for help; we're asking for a lifeline. 😔😔💔
Your donation could help us buy food, medicine, warmth, and education, and give our children a chance to live.
Even the smallest act of kindness can give us a glimmer of hope in our darkest hour.
