Reminder that families in Gaza will need help even during a ceasefire ❤️

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Doaa. Doaa is the mother of 3 children Omar, 10, Yasmine, 8 and Youseff, 4 but she primarily started this fundraiser to help her sister Amal who lost a husband and son and is trying to support her children Hiam, 13, Omar, 12 and Jawad, 7.

We've grown old, and my children's childhood has been lost. By God, I cannot describe the difficult situation my children and I are living in. I hope that everyone who has an ounce of humanity will share my story and my children's story or support us.

one thing I learned during 2020 is that "less than lethal" munitions are explicitly designed to be shot into the ground so they lose velocity and bounce up into people and the reason I didn't know that before is literally NO ONE has ever deployed them that way.

Reporter's notebook: I actually began working on this story shortly after footage of the incident showed up last month.

But by the time I finally got ahold of folks, the story grew: 2 *other* faith leaders I spoke with *also* reported being shot w/pepper balls while protesting this ICE facility.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

Doaa started this fundraiser mainly for her sister who is really struggling mentally after the death of her husband and son. Doaa and her husband have been trying to help her as much as they can but they are displaced now 💔

Going to share this post from @jgsseeerd41.bsky.social as a screenshot w/ the link to the family fundraiser as the video shows more of the baby than is safe for her (creepers be creeping & I want the family protected from those people). Donate and share. www.muslimgiving.org/arfat

Screenshot includes a freeze frame from a video of a baby in Gaza with a large abdominal sore, with a watermelon digital sticker overlying where the baby’s vagina is visible on the original video. There is skin irritation on the inside thigh of the other leg as well, which is what the mother was trying to show.

Post says: “literally, my child will die if we don’t quickly save [her] life with emergency surgery. I am poor, I have no money, and I don’t want to lose my child. I beg you and implore you to save my child. The story is on the donations page. Donate via the link.” After that, the same link provided in my post is displayed. Please click the link in my post to navigate to the donations page to help this poor family.

My friends, I am writing to you again from the heart of suffering and devastation.

No food, no medicine—only fear, hunger, displacement, and an endless siege.

My friends, I am lovingly and kindly asking for your support and donations to my #GFM campaign so I can buy

Small words from my kids, yet they fall on my heart like a mountain.

I'm trying to provide my family with the simplest of needs.. but sometimes I feel the weight is too heavy to carry alone.💔

💔 My sick mother grows weaker every day before my eyes, with no medicine to ease her pain in northern Gaza.🥹
I just pray to get her the treatment she needs before it’s too late.
We need $400 to cover her care your kindness could save her life. 🙏
