Hello my dear friend, I hope you and your loved ones are safe and well. I’m writing again because life here in Gaza has become even more difficult, and this month support has been very limited while our needs continue to grow. Although the rain has stopped, the cold has become harsher. The freezing wind cuts through our tent day and night, making it almost impossible to stay warm. The children shiver at night, and we struggle daily just to protect them from the cold and keep them healthy. Everyday life here is about survival finding warmth, food, and basic necessities, and trying to hold on with dignity. We are doing everything we can, but the situation is overwhelming. Any support whether through donating, sharing our campaign, or keeping us in your prayers can make a real difference for us during this difficult time.

My immediate family, including me, my wife, our four children, dad, mom, sister and brother, ran first to my uncle's house outside Shuja'iya and then to the Arab National Hospital, which was also bombed. We miraculously escaped death. After the bombing of the hospital, numerous confrontations with death, we fled to Rafah. I was working in a Saudi online marketing company and with other companies as a graphic designer. I was outstanding in my work and had many happy clients when the genocide started. Since our house was bombed, I lost my laptop and then my customers, my source of income. I have no money to buy another device. More than two years of fear and...
