'There is no Other Choice. If They Don’t, we Will Not Eat': The Desperate Situation of Families in Gaza
The Azabs are sheltering in the ruins of their family home. After being displaced multiple times, they finally returned here as a last resort. The sole breadwinner, Suliman used to work at an ice cream factory, but since it was bombed the family relies solely on the bread and hot food provided by donors like you.
Suliman’s four children, the oldest just 10 and the youngest only six years old, now spend their days waiting in line for water and food. ‘There is no other choice. If they don’t, we will not eat,’ explains Suliman. ‘The war exposed my family to the hunger and degradation that I worked my life to protect them from.’ Watching their childhood slip away in exchange for survival, Suliman and Nour feel the weight of the moment. 'The future of this generation is shattered by the weight they are carrying and the absence of education. No schools to go to and no learning in the process,' says Suliman.
After 15 months of bombardment, the humanitarian situation in Gaza is still dire, but you can be the change by giving to our Gaza Fund today, ensuring families like the Azabs do not go hungry as they try to rebuild their lives.
Your donations are supporting bread factories, providing food through daily hot meals and food packs and ensuring a clean water supply to thousands of Gazans.
We are working with UN organisations like World Food Programme Gaza to reach the most vulnerable people with your aid.
