We are going through extremely difficult times, struggling to secure even the most basic necessities like food, water, medicine, and shelter. We can no longer endure these circumstances alone, so I am turning to you, after God, hoping that those with compassionate hearts will help us.

Any donation, no matter how small, can make a real difference in my family's life. And if you are unable to donate, sharing this post with others might be the reason it reaches someone who can help us.

We are only asking for the chance to live in safety and dignity, and to keep our family together in these trying times.

🙏 Please help us in any way you can, and join our campaign. May God bless everyone who extends a helping hand, and everyone who contributes, shares, or prays for us.

A martyr on the ground, terrified children fleeing the bombing, a torrent of blood flowing, and a nation drowning in folly, weakness, and mire. !

I'm a father in Gaza, and this is my wife and the baby girl sitting between us in the picture. Everything you see is not acting or an attempt to elicit sympathy… this is our life today. There isn't enough food, water is a rare commodity, medicine is unavailable, and every day we live with fear, hunger, and anxiety.

The hardest feeling in the world is watching your child starve and being powerless to do anything. It's harder than the bombing, harder than fear itself, to see your family suffering before your eyes while you are helpless.

I'm not asking for much… I'm only asking you not to leave us alone.

If you can't donate, at least share this post. Perhaps it will reach someone who can help; perhaps your sharing will save an entire family.

I'm writing this feeling weak, but I have no other choice. This innocent little girl deserves to live like other children, and she deserves to have food, water, and safety.

I don’t mean literal vision, but the fixed image before them, the color, the scene that never leaves them... Many would say they see blackness... But how can we talk to a blind person about blackness when they don’t know colors at all?! They don’t know its opposite, its boundaries, or its meaning... Words alone are not enough when experience is absent... From this perspective, even if we spent a million years talking to people about the tent, those who haven’t lived in it will not understand, nor will they feel its true pain... Yes, they have seen it, but they have seen it from behind screens, while they sit, wrapped up, safe... They haven’t experienced its flooding in winter, nor its suffocating heat in summer, nor its long nights when the sky becomes a roof, the earth a bed, and fear a constant companion... The tent is not understood by description; the tent is understood when it is lived.

Your donation means so much and saves our children from this suffering. Don’t just watch and leave; leave your mark, perhaps it will be a blessing for you in this year, 2026.

I write them feeling that something inside me has broken, or rather, died forever. This is not just my feeling, but the feeling of every Gazan burdened by tragedy, and every Palestinian who has tasted the bitterness of loss and swallowed the bitterness of silence. Abu Ubaida, language, in all its vastness and richness, stands helpless today before your eulogy, and words falter as they try to touch your stature. How can one mourn figures who transcend the limits of description? How can the story be summarized in sentences when you were the story of a nation, the voice of its pain, and the embodiment of its dignity when the siege intensified? You were not a fleeting name, nor a temporary speech, but a certainty taking shape in hearts, a reassurance born from the rubble, and proof that this people, no matter how deeply wounded, is still capable of standing. You said what we were unable to say, you carried what weighed heavily on our chests, and you walked a difficult path on behalf of millions, without pretense, and without expecting reward or praise. Today we are unable to eulogize you, because Elegies are for the absent, but you remain in us as a trace, in memory as a stance, and in conscience as a meaning. Your words remain alive, and your image remains a witness to a time that tried to break us but failed. Your voice remains a whip on the necks of God’s enemies, and an antidote for the hearts of your brothers in this wounded city.

Here in Gaza, there are no beds, no warmth.
Thousands sleep standing up,
with a bucket of water to their right, ready to bail water from their tents,
and a stick to their left to raise the tarpaulin before it collapses on them,
and in front of them, their children shiver from the cold, moaning silently!

And their hearts cry out, "Oh God, we are exhausted!"

As if an earthquake struck the city,

felt only by its inhabitants,

and those still buried under the rubble,

and those counting the dead instead of hopes.

Merry Christmas, blind world,

Here there are no lights, no gifts,

Here there is death shrouded in betrayal,

and a silence heavier than the bombardment.

Don't remain silent.

Speak up, share, comment…
And your donation is not a luxury for us,

but a right to life that is being stolen every moment.

They wait for the countdown, the lights, the music, and the celebrations.
They write wishes and hang their hopes on a new year filled with joy.

But here in Gaza,
we are waiting for something completely different.

We are waiting for the cold to stop biting into our children’s bodies.
We are waiting for a night without rain, without wind, without fear.
We are waiting to wake up without losing a tent, a source of warmth, or a child.

We hold our children close, hoping our bodies can give them the warmth
that the tents cannot.
No Christmas trees, no gifts, no laughter —
only heavy silence, bitter cold, and hearts exhausted by waiting.

A new year for the world…
the same suffering for us.

But today, she was gathering the few remaining belongings inside her tent in preparation for a new visit.

Children carry more than their hearts can bear... millions of people... Her eyes gaze at her in confusion, unable to understand why her home turns into a deserted place every time, and why she must leave it again.

Batoul's migration is not just a move from one place to another; it is an uprooting of her childhood, a deep wound that leaves a mark every time in her young heart.

Help us cover these costs so we can protect our children and find safer shelter.
