Hello Dear Friends,

Hello dear friends,

I have some sad news for you. The war is back, but this time it is harsher and bloodier. Things have been going from bad to worse! I'll try to explain our suffering in simple words, despite that no words can describe our feelings of anxiety and uncertainty. 😞

Insecurity

Since the resumption of the genocide, we have a constant sense of insecurity. Every night, we have this ugly feeling that we may never wake up again. Loud explosions from every direction, and the continuous roar of fighter jets only add to our anxiety. People die while sleeping in their homes, walking in the streets or standing in lines for water and food. Sadly, there's no safe place in Gaza. 💔

War of Starvation

A month ago, Israel has closed border crossings, stopping all food and humanitarian aid from getting into Gaza. Basic commodities are getting scarce every day, and the prices are skyrocketing. As a result, the danger of famine and starvation looms large, so we have already started to minimize our food rations. ☹️

Water supply

As a result of the cessation of fuel supply, water pumps have stopped as well. With the lack of water supply, we found ourselves in a dire situation, paying huge sums for water, and manually moving it from far places. Have you ever considered moving water in buckets for hundreds of meters? Considering this reality, We decided to decrease our water consumption, a hard decision with dangerous impacts on our health and hygiene! 😭

Heating & cooking

With the crossings shut by Israel, the flow of fuel and cooking gas has stopped. As a result, we have been forced to use wood for heating and cooking. I don't need to explain the negative impacts of this on environment and public health, but we have no choice.

Transportation & power supply

It goes without saying that no fuel means no transportation and no power supply. The social impacts are not to be underestimated, as people can barely communicate with each other and with the outside world. As the Muslim world celebrate Ramadan and Eid El-Fitr, a special time for family bonding, people in Gaza stick to their homes due to the lack of transportation and sense of security.

Health care

Medicine stocks in pharmacies and hospitals are getting empty and the health care system is crumbling. This poses a threat particularly to our family, as my father and grandma suffer from chronic diseases. I am deeply worried about their survival.

On the background of these sad developments, I am turning to you for help. I humbly ask you to donate to our fundraiser. Your support, no matter how small, can be the line seperating life and death, safety and danger. 🙏
