Urgent Relief for Eman Mustafa's Homeless Family

Hello world,

My name is Eman Mustafa from Gaza, Palestine. I want to tell you about the catastrophic situation that my family and I have been enduring for over a year.

I chose to write about our suffering due to the urgent need to save my little ones before it's too late.

Before this war, my husband owned an aluminum business, which has been bombed. Our house was also bombed, and so we became homeless and without any source of sustenance in the span of months.

Since the 7th of October, we have been without shelter. The constant bombing forces us to flee from one place to another. We currently live in a tent with no electricity, clean water, and little food. Needless to say, there is a lack of sanitation and hygiene products, which has made infectious diseases rampant. You can only imagine how much protection a tent can offer during rainy, cold, and hot months.

As a result, I spiral into despair due to my inability to provide my children with basic needs such as food. In fact, I am battling both the cold weather, fear, and hunger as I am writing this to you.

We try to be patient, but hunger gnaws at our strength and destitution robs us of our dignity.

Everyday becomes a battle for survival. Can you imagine how my husband feels when he fails to provide bread or a blanket for our cold and hungry little ones? Or how I feel when my littles moan in pain and have nothing to offer but a warm hug? I will endure hunger, for I am a mother, but I can't bear to see my children cry of hunger pangs.

We are not asking for much. We only want minimum survival necessities. To you food, water, shelter, heat, and medicine are simple things. But to us they mean life and hope.

Our downtrodden souls seek your help and kindness. Your help, even if little, signify warmth and hope for my family.

Please do not leave us to die hungry and cold.

Your mercy is the rope that will help us face this calamity and, hopefully, make it to the shore of safety, at last,

Yours,

Eman Mustafa
