Do you know his story?
This is a small toy called a โrattleโ that we have here in Gaza. I searched for it everywhere in the sand but couldnโt find itโฆ until I finally found one in Al-Zawiya marketโthe last one left with a street vendor.
Before the war, it cost just 1 shekel (about $0.27)โฆ now it costs 10 shekels (about $2.70).
Itโs just a toy, only something to distract my child Saeed for a whileโฆ just a simple toy that may not seem important to others.
But imagineโฆ if a small toy costs this much, what about the essential things?
What about milk? What about diapers?
And what about medicines that we simply cannot live without?
We are not asking for muchโฆ just trying to survive, to calm our childrenโs cries, and to provide them with the most basic needs.
