My name is Fadel Abu Shahla, and I am writing to you from the heart of G4z4, a wounded land where children’s voices are mixed with the sounds of suffering, and where even the simplest necessities of life have become a distant dream.

I have a family of eight. Every day I try to provide them with food and shelter, but the harsh conditions of the siege and destruction have made it impossible to cover even our most basic needs. My father and I are now severely underweight due to malnutrition and the lack of food, and our health is worsening day by day.

I am reaching out with the hope that you can hear our voice and extend a hand in this difficult time. Any contribution, no matter how small or large, will be a lifeline for us and a concrete support to help us survive.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your solidarity and for not turning away from this tragedy.
