per Mrs. Hala Salama:

Our story is one of struggle to keep our children alive. As Gazan's say, we are used to wars, so we thought that this war was like any war before it.... Except this time, the missiles began to fall and the number of martyrs rose and rose, but just one moment was enough to destroy my family.

when my husband, my children and I fled under shelling -my house was turned into rubble instantly. But thank god, my family and I came out safely. we then had to travel to the south of the strip , and in the process my family and I were displaced several times until we ended up living in a tent. My children turned from children living in a safe environment with a stable future and eating proper food..and now they became homeless children in makeshift tents.

My boys are now malnourished and we are unable to provide the basic needs of my young two year old- those needs include clothes, food, and pampers. Most days my sons sleep hungry because of the high prices and my husbands unemployment because of the bombing of his workplace.

My children have a psychological complex now and will start trembling whenever they hear any loud noise at all, because of the sounds of rockets and shells that fall over our heads. My family and I are looking for your support to save my children from this devastating war and ensure that we are able to leave Gaza to live a dignified life.
