!Urgent help needed for Rafeef and her family in Gaza!

Hi, my name is Ruby and I am raising money on behalf of the lovely Rafeef. Rafeef tells her story of displacement and opression below:
"I am 14 years old, still a child, yet carrying a burden far bigger than me. I have two sisters and one brother. My father suffered a back injury while working during the war. We live with my grandparents — there are 10 of us in total, including my aunts as well.
Our situation is catastrophic. We lost our home and everything we owned in the war. We became displaced and homeless, with nothing to sustain us. It’s been over a month since we’ve been trying just to get a piece of bread. We have no source of income or means to survive.
My younger siblings cry all the time from fear and hunger. When we first fled our home, we left everything behind. We couldn’t take even the most basic necessities. We had to start from zero. We had a tent we lived in for over a year and a half, but it tore apart under the intense heat of the sun.
Now, we are facing a forced displacement for the fourth time — and we have nowhere to go. We don’t have a tent, we don’t have any income, and everything is outrageously expensive.
We’ve tasted every kind of humiliation and pain throughout this war. We don’t sleep at night due to the intense artillery and airstrikes. Our hearts feel like they’re about to stop from the pain and fear."
Please help me to provide the necessary basic financial aid that Rafeef and her family need to survive. No amount is too small.
