Hi friends,
Fadi Qudaih and his family have survived the genocide in Gaza. Now it is time to rebuild their lives.
When Fadi returned to his village, Khuza'a, this past weekend he found nothing but rubble and sand. He went searching for his cousins so he could bury them, but found only 5 skeletons. There are 10 more family members he still hasn't found.
The family is relieved that the genocide is over and profoundly exhausted from the past two years. "We need to rest," Fadi wrote to me. "We have been very tired in this genocide. For two years, I have seen everything and held the remains of children in my hands. I have developed a chronic illness from this war, irritable bowel syndrome."
Fadi continued: "This is the beginning. We will return again and rebuild our village. We will return to our schools and universities. The children deserve a beautiful life."
In the short term, Fadi says, "We will need to remove debris, clear a place to pitch the tent, and buy winter clothes."
Please give what you can to support Fadi, his family, and his village in rebuilding their homes, their schools, their health, their lives.
