forever grateful i was simply too lazy to let the makeup industrial complex get its hooks in me. I was just like im not doing all of that. in fact. im doing none of that
yeah I have political reasons for it now but my original and still most powerful reason is "I am not getting out of this bed one single second before I have to"
I am now on my fifth day without food… surviving only on water Not because I’m fasting by choice . I do this to save whatever little food I can for my family.
The food we have left wouldn’t last a day if we all ate. So I stay hungry. I drink water to quiet the pain, to stay standing, to keep going. Every bite I don’t eat means one more bite for my kids.
@dawoudi and I speak almost every day. Every day I ask him how he's doing and hope he can tell me he's been able to eat something. He tells me not to worry, but I can't help it, because my heart is breaking.
Please help him by donating to his family's fundraiser, so that they can buy food when it arrives on the market. Thank you. ❤️

It is #15 on the gazavetters list, and was also shared by @nabulsi here and here.
My father was at the market, as he always is, searching for anything that might ease our hunger. Under the relentless sun and on his seventh day without food, surviving only on water he collapsed from sheer exhaustion.
Thank God, he’s home now, beside me. But he’s terribly weak, as if his body can no longer carry the weight of life. I begged him to eat. I pleaded, just so he could stay with us a little longer. He hasn’t had chicken, or meat, or even fruit. God knows we don’t have those.
He finally took a few bites of dry bread. But watching him struggle to swallow, my throat tightened. The lump wasn’t just in his throat it was in my heart. Scraps of stale bread… which I begged him to eat, just so his heartbeat wouldn’t leave this home.
Because sometimes, hunger "cruel as it is" is easier to bear than eating when your dignity is shattered. When you’re trapped, abandoned, and the world is watching in silence.
We at the @gazavetters team extend our heartfelt wishes for a swift recovery and complete safety to our brother AboAhmed @dawoudi and his honorable family.
We are all going through extremely difficult circumstances, and we pray that this hardship will soon pass, and that peace and security will prevail for everyone.
This is a historic event in every painful sense of the word a brutal war, massive destruction, and a famine devouring lives. Every moment of delay could mean the loss of another life.
I’m deeply thankful to be back home, surrounded by my children. Though my body is tired and frail, my heart still beats with strength, and my will remains unshaken.
These past days have been harsh, but it is dignity and patience that have truly kept me going. Hardship has not broken me and by God’s grace, it never will.
As long as there is breath in me "in all of us" we will stand tall, endure with courage, and keep praying for relief, not only for ourselves but for all who suffer.

After repeated displacement and relentless bombardment, this family’s existence hangs by a thread. They appeal to your conscience. Your support and donations are their only chance to hold on and survive. Please help them in any way you can 🙏
Verified by our team, they are #15 on our vetted list.
Hello, my name is Nadin. I’m from Gaza. I’m a graphic design graduate, a wife—and now, a mother.
I finished my design studies just before the war began. I had dreams of starting a small studio, of creating art that told stories. I used to think about colors and fonts and the future.
Then, the war came. And the future became something we tried to hold onto, moment by moment.
On October 22, 2023, I learned I was pregnant when a missile destroyed my husband’s family home, killing 25 members—his mother, siblings, nieces and nephews—entire branches of our family in seconds.
We were displaced twice. Everything was gone—home, safety, routine, rest.
A few weeks later, I gave birth to our daughter. There was no crib, no celebration—not even stillness. But she arrived, quietly and beautifully. In her eyes I saw something I hadn’t felt in weeks: life that still wanted to grow.
Now, our days are shaped by decisions that could dismantle the future we are trying to build together.
Today, Israel’s government is discussing plans for a full military occupation of the Gaza Strip, including Gaza City and southern regions. The stated aim: to eliminate Hamas and later hand governing control to allied Arab forces—not Israel—but with no clear path to peace or normalcy.
The humanitarian fallout is devastating. More than 61,000 Palestinians have died in this war; hunger and malnutrition are rising sharply. Hospitals in north Gaza have shut down, and 193 people have now died of starvation, nearly half of them children.
Aid remains blocked, water is scarce, and many risk dying of hunger or disease long before future promises arrive.
We Don’t Know What Comes Next
There’s no clear path forward—only uncertainty for our daughter’s life and our ability to survive another day.
My name is Nadin, and I’m a mother from Gaza.
How You Can Help
I’m asking for support—not for comfort, but for survival:
Help us meet basic needs so we can breathe, heal, and preserve a world for our daughter.
Support us as I try to stand again on my own feet—even a glimmer of stability matters.
If you’ve read this far, thank you. If you can give—thank you. If you can’t—just sharing this post is a lifeline I will never forget.
You may have heard about what’s happening in Gaza right now.
The occupation is bombing towers and homes endlessly, forcing families to flee.
The sound of explosions never stops, and fear surrounds us everywhere.
There is no safe place left, and we don’t know where to turn.
We are told to move south, but the cost of displacement is far beyond what we can afford.
All I want is to protect my family, but I don’t have the means.
Please, try to feel what we are living through — this reality is harsher than you can imagine.
Your donation could be the reason my family survives and finds safety. Please don’t turn away; we truly need your support.
Please, I beg you — if you're reading this, don’t look away. Every second matters.
My little boy, Qais, is starving in Gaza, his fragile body fading with every passing day. The famine has stolen his childhood and is threatening to take his life. Your donation today can mean the difference between Qais surviving or slipping away forever. No child should die of hunger, and you have the power to save him.
The famine in Gaza is man-made, a tragedy that is killing children one by one:
1. The blockade has cut off food, clean water, and medicine, leaving families with nothing to survive on.
2. The obstruction of humanitarian aid prevents life-saving supplies from reaching starving children like Qais.
3. The destruction of farmland and markets has erased every local source of food, making hunger inescapable and deadly.
Every one of these reasons pushes children closer to death, and my son Qais is among them.
I am a mother begging the world to hear me before it’s too late. Qais is slipping through my hands, his small body weakened by hunger, his eyes dim with pain. Please, I plead with you — don’t let my baby die in silence. Donate whatever you can and help me keep Qais alive. Your kindness could save him from famine’s cruel grip.
PLEASE DONATE HERE
If Qais was your only child, would you leave him to face his fate alone?
DONATE HERE PLEASE
DON'T SKIP, I BEG YOU ✋🚨 you're the only hope to save a child😔😭
With deep sorrow, we say goodbye to little Abdullah Abu Zorqa (5 years old), the child whose heartbreaking cry “I’m hungry” shook the world.
He passed away today in a hospital in Adana – Turkey, after his fragile body gave in to illness and hunger, deprived of medicine and proper treatment in Gaza.
Abdullah is gone, but hundreds of children in Gaza are still facing the same fate — slowly fading away without food, without medicine, without hope.
Just imagine watching your own children die of hunger before your eyes… how would you feel?
Do not let the children of Gaza face death alone.
Donate now , your help could be the lifeline that saves an innocent soul.
We are dying… but you can help keep us alive.
I am Dr. Darine, writing to you from the “Gaza concentration camp” sealed tight since the war began in 2023, a place that has swallowed our dreams and dignity, where days crawl under constant bombardment.
Even captivity was not enough for them they destroyed our home, the sanctuary that held my family, shared in our joys, and echoed with our laughter for decades. I am thankful that we were not inside and that my family survived, yet the pain of losing the place that held our lives and memories is unbearable.
And now, hunger tightens its grip. We are not numbers. We are human lives, struggling to endure war, displacement, and famine. Please share our story and help us survive. Every voice, every act of generosity, makes a difference. 🙏
