A cry for help from Gaza

"The hardest thing is seeing your children dying of hunger. If you feel with us, donate so I can provide food"

I am Waseem, I live in northern Gaza, I am married and am a father of three children. I was living a beautiful life and I was working in an accounting company. The war came and I was forced to flee to southern Gaza for a year.

I lived in a tent with my children and my wife. They bombed the area and it was completely destroyed. After that, I lived in the street with my family. I was struggling to provide food for my children. This all showed the bitterness of life and the difficulty of life. We lived in fear, with destruction, bombing and hunger. Then after that, we were allowed to return to northern Gaza.

Back to living in a tent with no money and food

After all this humiliation and fear, I then found my home levelled to the ground. They destroyed the entire neighbourhood where I live and the place where I work was destroyed. Now I live in a tent.

They kill us without mercy, starve our children without mercy, and cut off our medicine and food. If they could cut off the air, they would do so. We are weak and poor. We have nothing but prayer or wait for a slow death. Who will save us from this?

There is no food or money to provide for my children who are starving. I have created a donation link for my children so that we can live, but I am facing difficulty in collecting donations.  

A simple request. Look at my son Nabil, in the photo. He is happy to have a loaf of bread in light of the difficult circumstances we are facing in Gaza, and the hardest thing is seeing your children dying of hunger. If you feel with us, donate so I can provide food
