I've been struggling to write an update about Ahmed the last few days

Truly, I don't know how he and his family are, besides alive. He hasn't talked about it.

But especially after the tent expense, they are absolutely in need for food funds.

I hope we can respect both these things. Help them eat.

For two years, my family and I have been living through war, displacement, and hunger.
From one tent to another, from one cold night to the next.
Now we’re sick all of us because of the freezing air and this torn tent that can’t protect us anymore

“I swear to God, they didn’t feed us. They beat us while we were naked day and night.

Until our last day, they cut us and hit us and abused us. We endured every kind of torture, emotional and physical.

We couldn’t even sleep. They told me they killed my children.”

- released Palestinian prisoner

Palestinian prisoner Shadi Abu Seed has given a harrowing account of life inside an Israeli prison after his release as part of the ceasefire deal.

“I went hungry for the past two years. I swear to God, they didn’t feed us. They kept us naked. They beat us while we were naked day and night. We were tortured,” Abu Seed said.

“Until our last day in Israeli prison, they cut us and hit us and abused us. We endured every kind of torture, emotional and physical.

“We couldn’t even sleep. They threatened us with our children. They told me they killed my children. They told us that Gaza was destroyed. I arrived here and found that everything was gone. It looked like the end of the world. Everything is different.”

Israeli settlers continue to wage war on Palestinians in the West Bank and elsewhere. They are breaking into people's homes, stealing their stuff, trashing their homes and sometimes kidnapping and killing people. This is happening NOW. People should know this.

Men of Palestine must seem like living rock to endure all they do, outwardly unhurt because they hide it so well & what can they do when they have so much to bear? Scream & cry & cut themselves & their families off from aid?

Be Ahmed's help, be loud when he is silent, be balm when he is hurt.
