unknown forces compelled me to draw this
I hope you'll let me tell you a little bit about my home🇵🇸, Gaza🍉. It's a place where we're living through some very challenging times💔🥹. We're under attack from bombs, explosives, and warplanes, and we've had to endure many nights of sleeplessness. It's a difficult situation💔, but we're trying to stay positive🖤. This war has really taken a toll on us. It's destroyed our bodies, our lives, and our souls. It has been so sad to see our homes destroyed, our belongings taken from us, and our beautiful places ruined. It has also changed our situation for the worse. We were living a pretty good life, you know? Peaceful, loving, and full of life. But then, we found ourselves in a really tough spot. Hunger, fear, and terror have become our new normal. My kids and I, along with my extended family, are struggling to make ends meet. We don't have the basic necessities of life, and our living situation is pretty rough. We're in these old, falling-apart tents. It's so hard to know what to do when winter comes. We'll be soaked in the rain and wind, and I'll be at a loss as to how to keep my family safe, from the bombing and from the winter.🥹
I'm really hoping you can help me and my family to live through this awful war.💔

Empty markets, hungry stomachs, an unknown future, the threat of death, daily massacres... and every massacre and crime you can think of is happening now in Gaza.
"Let us give little Mahboubah a chance for a dignified life by providing proper nutrition, supporting breastfeeding, diapers, and warm covers. Let’s bring a smile to a child enduring tragic conditions who deserves to live in safety."
"From the Heart of Gaza... A Mother's Cry"
I am Fatima, a mother to a child who hasn’t yet turned two. We live in Gaza, where there has been no electricity for over two years. Yes, more than two years in complete darkness... No coolness to relieve the summer heat, no warmth to protect us from the harsh winter.
Our water is polluted, we have no money or food. Prices are astronomical, even a loaf of bread has become a distant dream. There’s no cooking gas, and if there is, it’s priced beyond what anyone can afford. We revert to primitive methods... cooking over fire, enduring the smoke, wood, and fatigue, just to feed our children something to fill their stomachs.
My child doesn’t know what childhood means. He has never experienced a clean toy or a warm bed. All he knows is the sound of bombs, hunger, cold, and the tears of a mother trying to stay strong.
We dream of escaping this hell, to give our child a chance at a life beyond the violence and suffering. But to do so, we need $10,000 to cover travel expenses.
I write to you today with my heart, not just my hands, asking for nothing but what helps us survive. Any donation, no matter how small, makes a big difference in our lives. Be the hope in Gaza’s long night... Be the light in our darkness.

Share, donate, and spread the word... Perhaps mercy will find its way into hearts.
Now leaflets have been dropped on us by planes saying you must evacuate your area immediately and head south. To everyone who sees this post, this may be my last post and I have not appeared on Tumblr yet. At this moment we are besieged and we have not found a place to go. We are being subjected to violent bombing. My family and I may be exposed to death at any moment. Donate, donate, help us get out of Gaza faster. Share and do good.😢
I'm so grateful for him 🥹
Despite Anas being vetted here by gaza-evacuation-funds and constantly documenting his struggle in Gaza through photographs and videos in multiple languages, including his interview with AJ+, he has messaged me telling me that tumblr has restricted activity on his previous blog @anas-kamal and he has been forced to create a new one at @dr-anas96.
This is already heinous under any circumstance but especially now with his condition. His campaign is severely stagnating and he is depending on it now more than ever.
Anas has been a ray of light for the children of Gaza, coming up with games and activities for them, but now he is unable to move around due to his illness. The doctors are trying to figure out why he is vomiting blood but as you well know, resources are very limited.
This is a video of Anas's parents baking bread with the scarce amount of flour they are able to obtain.
Anas is unable to focus on sharing his campaign as his internet connection is fleeting and he doesn't currently have the energy. I'm begging you to join me in spreading his campaign on his behalf.
