The child is here

according to Al Jazeera, atleast 61 people have been slaughtered ( 49 of whom were in Gaza City ) within the past 24 hours.

nearly half of Gaza City's population ( 450,000 people ) have fled since israel launched its major operation in august, the south is now even more crowded, people lack the most basic necessities for life.

this occurs while famine is underway in Gaza, and four UN trucks were robbed at gunpoint yesterday. this theft has denied at least 2,700 severely and acutely malnourished children of life-saving RUTF, which would have helped with their malnutrition.

Shaima ( @shaimaa-sha ) and her family need to urgently relocate, however they have no money for transportation.

she is 32 years old & a mother of four children, and is the breadwinner for her family, since her husband Ibrahim was severely injured in his foot. he has now lost his passion for everything.

please read her story in her own words here.

and all she desires is some bread for her children, who cry because of the severe lack of food. how many hundreds have or will starve to death in Gaza before you start to care ??

only €4,083 has been raised, the last donation was a day ago as this post is being made.

this campaign is also documented as number 62 on the @/gazavetters list – so no need to be hesitant around donating.

please, just imagine yourself surrounded by constant screams, massacres, drones, bombs, blood, destruction and martyrs. martyrs in their thousands not granted the basic dignity of even a proper burial.

martyrs don't die in vain, but nobody else deserves to become a martyr. donate so that they can have a chance at life.

tagging for reach, your voice is VERY important –

I am Shaima from Gaza, 32 years old, a mother of four children who have suffered from fear, displacement, and homelessness. Can you imagine? They are living through a horrific war for which they have no fault. Yet the war in Gaza has stolen their beauty and childhood, and burdened them with worries far beyond their years. They even search for water as if they have aged decades.

I am now the sole breadwinner for the family because my husband, Ibrahim, who has always been determined to succeed and who has been my primary source of inspiration and strength, was severely injured in the foot during the war and has lost his passion for everything, even his own medical care. He needs special treatment for his foot, and without it, he suffers from severe pain, fatigue, and exhaustion. What did he do to deserve this?

We lived in peace despite all the hardships, but in moments, we lost a great effort. We struggled and rebuilt ourselves from nothing, until God provided for us, but I never imagined that our struggle and effort would fade and never return. Our home, with all its beauty and warm memories, is buried under the rubble. I only grieve for the memories.

As for me, I won't talk about myself because everything that happened saddens and pains me. But to you, people of mercy, I place my hopes in you to save my family. My family and I are not safe from this war. I pray to God to help us survive this death, so that we can survive what remains of us. Please help us buy the basic necessities and leave Gaza so we can treat my husband's foot - the cost of leaving is $5,000 per person. Help us live a dignified life. My family is the most precious thing in my life, and I thank every donor for their humanity. 🌹🇵🇸
