An Urgent Plea: Help Farouq’s Family Rebuild After Fleeing Gaza

I’m reaching out to you during a time of deep urgency and need. Farouq’s family of eight has endured unimaginable hardship. Recently, they were forced to flee Gaza due to the ongoing conflict and have now resettled in Egypt. This journey has stripped them of everything, including their home and livelihood. Currently, they are without work, struggling to meet even their basic needs, and are urgently seeking your support to help them secure rent, food, and other essential necessities.

Their ordeal began in October when they had to leave their home in northern Gaza—the first area struck by bombings. Over the past three months, they’ve faced tremendous suffering, becoming homeless multiple times as they moved from place to place in search of safety. Initially, they found temporary shelter at a relative’s home in Rafah, but they were soon forced to flee again and are now in a refugee camp near Rafah. As they face the reality of needing a more permanent place to live, they’re met with the challenge of soaring rental prices and an overwhelming demand for housing.

The family also faces significant health challenges. Farouq has been struggling with prostate disease, while his daughter has type 1 diabetes, and both find it extremely difficult to access the medications they need to survive. Additionally, their only means of transportation—a car essential for emergencies and basic needs—was destroyed.

Your donations can provide them with immediate essentials, including shelter, life-saving medication, and food. Looking forward, it can also offer them hope and resources to rebuild their lives once this ordeal has passed.

Any contribution, no matter the amount, will make a meaningful impact and bring them a step closer to stability and safety. Please share this campaign with your network—friends, family, and colleagues—to help us reach this goal. Your compassion, generosity, and solidarity mean the world to us during this challenging time.

Thank you for standing with us. Together, we can make a difference, offering Farouq’s family the safety, security, and dignity they so urgently need.

August is full of special, quirky days. Don't miss them, as next August is 365 days away!

I'm writing to you in a time of great need. We are a family of eight, forced to leave Gaza due to the recent hardships, and we are now in Egypt.

Rachel Zegler, who played Snow White in the new version of the film, faced hate. Users believe that the actress is not suitable for the role due to her ethnic origin. In Grimms' Fairy Tales, Snow White was described as a princess "who had skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood and hair as black as ebony".

What do I think about this?

I guess it is unfair to downgrade the movie for that reason. The film company can make changes to the original, that is okay. In an actor, the ability to portray emotions, diction, oratory, improvisation, and hard work should be valued first and foremost. The viewer must evaluate the quality of a movie. Those who criticize the actress because of her ethnic origin are engaging in discrimination, they are nationalists. If actors are supposed to look like characters from books, then why do not people criticize the films "Divergent", "Twilight", etc.?
