🇵🇸Hello🇵🇸
I am Ahmed Mahmoud, currently living in the completely destroyed city of Gaza🍉. Since the war on Gaza began on 10/7/2023, my family and I have been living in constant fear, crying and suffering because of shrapnel, shells and bullets. We have no food, no electricity, no cooking gas, no schools, no home, no cleaning supplies, no clothes. Our house was completely destroyed.
My children’s school was bombed, which deprived my children of education. The war forced us to live in displacement centers, which are just tents that are not suitable for living, especially in winter. Every day we live death, terror and panic a thousand times because of the continuous bombing of my city. Imagine: we have escaped imminent death more than 20 times, and we have been displaced between shelters more than 13 times. My family and I have suffered from many diseases due to malnutrition, and we need medication constantly. If we stay in Gaza, we might lose our lives. Recently, we were seriously thinking about leaving Gaza to a safe place. However, the travel costs are very high. We need over $50,000 to leave Gaza. With the skyrocketing prices, rampant unemployment, insecurity, ongoing blockade, and constant bombing, we have lost all our money. How can we live in such insecurity, with constant bombing and shrapnel flying over us? My dear compassionate friends around the world, with your generous donations, even small ones, you can save 6 people from imminent death, allowing us to start a life outside Gaza filled with love, peace, and hope. Best wishes from Gaza City,❤️🩹🇵🇸
I know it’s not hard to point out reactionaries hypocrisy when it comes to like safe spaces or hug boxes or whatever but genuinely how much of an echo chamber do you have to exist in for you to think this is a reasonable thing to say
[original post that sof's library (@/folkoftheshelf) is reacting to: Globe Eye News reports: "White House says no "genocide" happening in Gaza." May 13, 2024]
This emaciated body belongs to Amjad Al-Qanou, 3 years old, from Jabalia camp in northern Gaza. He suffers from severe malnutrition. “Pictures speak louder than words.”
There are more than 3,500 other children, like Amjad, who are at risk of death due to the continued Israeli starvation policy in the Gaza Strip.
We live in the midst of the ongoing hellish war in Gaza, trapped between walls of fear and despair.
We struggle daily to survive in an environment filled with threats and dangers.
We are originally from Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, but at the beginning of the war we were displaced several times without any shelter. Our house was completely destroyed, and we are now homeless.
We urgently appeal for your moral and financial assistance to cover the necessary costs for escaping to a safe environment, where we can build a better future for our children and ensure our family's safety.
We are in desperate need of your support. Any donation, no matter how small, can help save our lives. Thank you for your attention and support during these harsh times.

Hello.I am Lubna. My family and I live in Gaza. Our lives have become more difficult than you can imagine. I am writing with the hope that you will hear my story.

We lost 👉we lost security, comfort and family stability

The war has returned after 15 months of death and genocide. We have never rested. We are losing people every day, most of them children and women... The bombing is everywhere. Our children are afraid...The sound is frightening.😭
There is no food, no drink, no medicine, the crossing is closed and everything is expensive.
‼️We don't want to die. Please donate and help us so we can buy food and medicine for my mother and save ourselves from death. Just donate. 😭🙏😞🫂‼️
Save our life !!❤️🥹
Note/ A few days ago, I lost my campaign suddenly. The gofundme decided to close it after it had reached $110,000. I only got $44,000 and lost about $70,000. It was not easy after I worked day and night to collect the amount in order to save my family from the war and treat my father. I will now start from scratch and need your support. 🙏🏻💔
Hello again, I am Aseel from Gaza, I live in war, fear and destruction, we have been living for almost a year now but we do not know how long, we have been displaced from our home more than 11 times,
every time I was displaced to another place I prayed that this would be the last, but then came the idea of forced exit to search for safety where there is no safety, we got very tired and our bodies were exhausted, we no longer had the energy to continue, we lived hunger, thirst, cold and all the difficult conditions that humans cannot imagine,
we did not imagine that a day would come when we would live all of this, I lost my family and my childhood home, even my friends are no longer there, I was left alone!! I am looking for salvation from death, I fear death and I dread it, the idea is terrifying to leave your dreams, ambitions and the life you planned for and go from this world, we do not deny death but we do not want to live it now,
I had a beautiful life, suddenly I do not know how I lost my life, we live in a tent that can only accommodate 3 people, made of nylon that no human can bear, just standing in it for more than two minutes during the day is enough to melt you, in addition to insects, diseases and lack of privacy, imagine all this!! Can you live??
In addition, my father had a stroke due to the loss, and my mother also needs care due to chronic diseases and the lack of treatment, and her condition is getting worse. I am the only one who takes care of them. I really fear loss and I do not want to lose, as I lost a large part of my family, my home, my work, and my entire previous life.
We wake up every day to the smell of death, I have been surrounded by tanks and helicopters more than 4 times, each time I do not know how to survive? It seems that my death has not come yet
I do not want to die!! 🥺
Please help me save my life and get out of here, life is impossible
