Yesterday, our lives changed in a moment. My father suddenly developed severe swelling in his leg, and we rushed him to the hospital in fear.💔

After urgent examinations, the doctors confirmed that he has a blood clot that requires immediate surgery to stop it from reaching his heart. Without this operation, his life could be in real danger.💔😔

After the surgery, he must remain hospitalized for 10 days without movement, under continuous medical care. The surgery, hospital stay, and necessary medications will cost a total of $1,500 , We are facing this crisis with heavy hearts and very limited means., and we urgently need help to cover it.😔

I never imagined I would have to ask for help like this, but today l am asking from the bottom of my heart please help us save my father. Every donation, every share, and every kind word can make a real difference for us during this painful time. Your support could be the reason my father gets another chance to heal and stay with us.🙏😔💔

“The notion that people panic and run screaming for the exits is a Hollywood fiction,” said Prof Stephen Reicher, an expert in group behaviour at the University of St Andrews.

“Characteristically, people stay and help each other,” he said. “We found this during the 7/7 attacks on the underground and the 1999 attack on the Admiral Duncan pub in London, where people looked after each other even though they feared other bombs.

“In our own research on the Leytonstone tube attack in 2015, there was an amazing level of spontaneous coordination by bystanders: some directed others away from danger. Some distracted the attacker. Some confronted the attacker. Each was able to act because of the others. Heroism was a feature of the group, not just the individual,” he added.

VIDEO: Living Under Israel’s Missiles

Four boys of the Bakr family were killed by a missile strike during last year’s incursion. Their surviving family members are still scarred from the attack.

More than anyone, children bear the brunt of regular Israeli military assaults on the Gaza Strip. During the 51-day war in the summer of 2014, 551 children were killed and 3,436 were injured. But these gruesome figures say little about the psychological state of the nearly 800,000 children who have survived the periodic bombing campaigns. After the final cease-fire that ended Israel’s Operation Protective Edge on August 26 of last year, UNICEF estimated that at least 425,000 Palestinian children in the besieged Gaza Strip require “immediate psychosocial and child protection support.”
