How much would you give for a single slice of watermelon?
Hundreds of dollars?
Would you risk loosing a limb?
Would you risk your life?
Manny people in Gaza would, because the risk of being shot to death is worth the chance to keep the hunger at bay for a little longer.
Manny parents in Gaza would risk never seeing their children again, just for the chance at filling their sons and daughters aching stomachs.
For manny people in Gaza, this situation isn’t a hypothetical, but a reality.
For my good friend Aya Hassaouna, this is her life.
Aya is a Palestinian mother of three. She’s pregnant and is due to give birth within a week.
While most women would be surrounded by family, preparing a nursery, and taking their last few neonatal vitamins, counting down the days until they can meet their baby, Aya is worried what malnutrition has done to her child.
Her husbands foot was injured a couple of months ago, and became painfully infected. He can therefore not help provide for her and her children. Aya is responsible for her family’s survival alone. She doesn’t know how she will get to a clinic to give birth or who will take her there. She doesn’t have any clothes for her baby. She doesn’t have any food to feed her starving children. She has lost friends and family, yet cannot stop to grieve them, lest she or her family die to.
The situation worsens as the violence and bombings continue, aid and food is still blocked from entering, and nessesaties become luxury’s. The weight of the terror, hunger, sadness, anger and hopelessnes that Aya carry’s become heavier and heavier with each passing day.
They cannot escape. They are trapped in a cage and starved. They are being killed in the most slow and inhumane way imaginable.
The only reason her family has been able to survive at all is because of the generous donations of the people here on the internet.
Please help Aya and her family afford food, clothes for the baby and medicine for her husband and ill child!! Help them survive this hell made by Israel!
If you can spare anything, even just a dollar, please donate! Your contribution, no matter how small, could be the difference between life and death for Aya and her family!! Even if you can’t donate, please share, both with people online and irl, reblogg, spread it to anyone who might listen and donate!! Ayas life could depend on it!
Your shared donations and voices have become the lifeline that is keeping Aya and her family afloat! So please save a mother and her children!!!
