“Since I got injured, I’ve been trying to find food and help. Everything has changed. Now, my children are the ones struggling to cook, fetch water, and survive. They are too young.”

“Your words are beautiful and encouraging to me, even though I am unable to provide money to buy them what they ask for, and my inability due to my injury now means I cannot move much and walk slowly. You are now the ones who plant joy and a smile on my children’s faces, and you are the ones who can, with your support and standing by our side, send a message to the world that we need food to stay alive. You are now our only hope.”

“Heavy bombing of the place now. Four missiles again in the same place, the situation is terrifying.”

“I had a rough day. I returned to Zikim for the first time since being hit by shrapnel, hoping to find flour for my sons. But there was a lot of shooting, I saw people being killed, and I returned empty-handed.”

“There are some food items that I haven’t seen for months. I saw and bought them today in the market in Gaza. This is good news.”
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.”
