“By God, I am ashamed to write that I do not have even a loaf of bread, and I am ashamed of myself, I am not able to provide for my son, I am ashamed that I do not have money and I cannot find work, I am ashamed of myself and my family, I am not able to do anything for them, and I am ashamed that I am writing in such a post, I swear to God I am tired and I am not able to do anything. Whoever can help, good people, with flour or food supplies, please do not fall short, and whoever can help so that we can get food.”
“My son is one year and five months old. At this age, he should be eating Cerelac and fruits, drinking milk and foods full of vitamins. I swear to God, for two months, my son’s main meal has been dukkah and bread.”

“Hello my friend, I almost died today. There was a bombing next to me. I flew in the sky and fell to the ground. My legs and shoulder were injured, but I was all right, thank God.
“Thank God I am still fine and nothing is missing from my body.”
7 July
“A quadcopter was overhead, tracking and pursuing me. Its bullets almost spelled my end.
“But God saved me in a moment. In a single moment, my life could have ended.
“I miraculously escaped the bullets. One of them passed over my shoulder. I felt its heat piercing the air. I fell among the rubble, breathing as if I’d been reborn.
“But what I’m certain of is…
“We still have the breath to write.”
8 July
“I was displaced with nothing when they bombed the place. I was staying with my friend in his tent, but now I am sleeping in the street with my children and my wife. I have not been able to take anything from the place where I was staying.”
11 July
“We will now need a new campaign to raise money for a tent. They bulldozed the place where I was staying. Look, there’s nothing. I am sad I did not find any of my things”
How to help
“I am Waseem from Gaza, which is being subjected to a genocidal war and ongoing massacres until this moment, and a siege, starvation, and the prevention of aid from entering. I am currently displaced, me and my family, in a tent in northern Gaza, which does not have the minimum necessities of life. We live in very difficult and harsh conditions because of the siege and the prevention of aid from entering. All the food we had is gone, such as flour, rice, and lentils, and there is no alternative, and I do not have money to buy. I swear to God, we do not have anything left to eat. I need your support and help, O people of goodness.”
