Nariman Abu Mashaikh is a 33-year-old woman who was living in Gaza until late winter 2024.

She was pregnant and injured in a bombing in the Maghazi area in the shelters. Nariman’s heel was shattered in the bombing, and she was transferred for treatment in Egypt on March 2, 2024. She was accompanied by her aunt Wafaa and her two young children, Batoul (age 4) and Selena (age 2).

Nariman does not have Egyptian residency and pays for medical treatment from her own account.

Soon after arriving in Egypt she gave birth to a child, Yaman, who also needs expensive milk, diapers, and other basics such as clothing.

Her daughter Selena is currently suffering from platelet fracture and needs expensive treatment as well.

It's urgent, she needs an operation soon, the bacteria keeps coming back to her wound.

Thus far Nariman has not made good progress.

She has undergone periodic expensive operations just to clean the wound, then suffers regrowth of bacteria.

Please help Nariman, Selena, and their family afford the medical care they deserve and the living expenses they desperately need.
