Gaza Emergency Appeal - Help My Family

Can you imagine looking into your children’s eyes one day and finding them full of hunger, fear, and helplessness? Waking up to their screams from the cold at night, and all you can do is hug them without being able to protect them? I am Duaa, a 28-year-old Palestinian mother from Gaza, and I live this nightmare every day with my two young children, Huda, who is four years old, and Khalil, who is not yet two years old. I am also pregnant with my third child, who will be born into this world in circumstances that no human being can bear. We had a simple home, full of love despite everything. But in one moment, the bombing destroyed everything we owned. We saw our home collapse before our eyes, and we were forced to flee under a hail of fire, carrying our children in our arms, searching for a place that would protect us. After a long displacement story filled with the smell of death, we took refuge in a dilapidated tent that barely protected us from the cold winds or the heavy rain.

This tent became our only shelter, but we suffer in it from conditions that no human being can bear, as it is full of insects and diseases that cause many diseases for us and my young children who cannot bear it with their thin and exhausted bodies. I am unable to provide even their simplest needs.

Our daily lives have become an endless struggle. To get water, we stand for long hours in arduous queues, while hunger gnaws at our stomachs. We search for free food wherever it is, because food prices here have become unbearably high. My children cry with hunger, and I have nothing to offer except the little that we get with difficulty.

The harsh winter cold makes their little bodies shiver at night, and we do not have warm clothes to cover them. Milk has become a distant dream, and diapers have run out a long time ago. I can't forget their screams when the insects that fill the tent bite them, or their looks when I can't fill their little bellies with something to satisfy their hunger.

My husband, who was the pillar of the family, was injured in this conflict and is no longer able to work. The responsibility of preserving our lives has fallen entirely on me, but how can a single mother in these circumstances provide something for her children?

I appeal to you today through this platform from the bottom of my heart. We are in dire need of you: The campaign's goal will go to cover the following costs:

• Warm clothes and blankets for my children who are shivering from the cold.

• Healthy food and milk for my children to grow normally and overcome hunger.

• Diapers to protect them from diseases resulting from lack of hygiene.

• Covering the costs of the nursery for my new baby who I will soon give birth to

• A new tent that protects us from the harsh climate and restores some security to us.

• A small financial support to secure the necessary water and food.

• Leaving for Egypt after opening the Rafah crossing to start a new life

• Covering the costs of treating my injured husband

I am now in my third month of pregnancy, and I need to buy Clexane injections, clothes, diapers, a bed and blankets for the baby, unfortunately the prices are very high. Help me buy these things to welcome my three child, I need more than $ 3000 to buy these needs.

Every donation from you, no matter how small, is a glimmer of hope for my exhausted family. Your humanity can save us from this hell. Help me give my children a new chance at life, a chance to smile again.

This is my husband's injured hand

His finger was amputated at the beginning of the war

He wants to complete his treatment in Egypt

Donate to save my family and be the voice of mercy that reaches us in the midst of this darkness. Thank you to every heart that beats with giving.
