My Story – Surviving the War on Gaza

My name is Maryam Sham, I am 23 years old. I used to live a simple life in Al-Muqawasi Towers, until one day everything changed…

In a matter of moments, my home was reduced to rubble under the bombing. I had no choice but to move to my family’s house in Al-Wusta. But safety never lasted — soon after, I was forced to flee again to the south.

There, in the midst of fear and destruction, I gave birth to my baby at Nasser Hospital, which was later destroyed as well. All I wanted was to feed and protect my child, yet even milk became a luxury I could not afford.

I lost many members of my family. I lost my home. I have been displaced more than 10 times, carrying my pain and my baby from place to place.

Today, I am in urgent need — even €1 can help provide milk for my daughter. I have lost everything, but I have not lost hope that there are kind hearts willing to help us survive.
