The voices of Gaza: Meet @aisha1928
Note: this is a series I’m starting where I interview people currently in Gaza and I write their experiences. This my first real article and interview so please bare with me.
Meet Aisha Rabah. She’s 42, is married and has eight kids, Muhammad, Gham, Karam, Jana, Tariq, Adam, Zain, and the youngest is Rami, who is four months old. They are in a very difficult situation in Gaza. Before, her family was doing well; Her husband used to work in a butcher shop. Her daily routine used to be house work, teach her children, and she watched tv in the evening. During the war, the shop got bombed leaving her husband unemployed. Their home got bombed, leaving them without shelter. Her husband got sick. Her daughter, Nagham, who was 22 and her husband, Mahmoud, 28, were martyred; leaving their son who was born during the war, Sami, with her family.
Their condition has only worsened. “There is no bread, there is bombing everywhere, even the ‘safe’ places are being bombed. My children cry because they want to eat, but the food is very expensive and my husband doesn’t work. My little son cries every day, wanting an egg and meat, and I cry with him, feeling sad for him.” Mrs. Rabah told me.
Her children who should only be worrying about school and their dreams have to worry about the next time they’ll eat and if they will have shelter the next day. They just want to be able to live in Gaza in peace. “I don’t want to leave my country; Gaza is beautiful, I have no other country like it”, she said when asked if she wanted to leave Gaza.
Please donate to help her and her family survive. No one, especially children, deserve to go through this. If you can’t please reblog and share this.
Every donation counts, every share counts, every voice counts and every life counts
