Help widowed Doa’a to save her kids and her family

Hello, I am Doaa Farhat from northern Gaza. I am married and have two daughters, Sarah, who is 2 years and 8 months old, and Siwar, who is 14 months. We were repeatedly displaced from one area to another, hoping to find a safe place to survive. The danger and bombing were very close to us. We had no food, and none of our basic needs.

During the displacement, I lost my husband. He went to bring us food, a blanket, and some basic necessities for our daughters. He left and never came back. A week passed after his disappearance, and after the occupation army withdrew, we found his body lying on the ground. His body was being eaten by dogs. I did not see him or say a final farewell to him. He returned to us as a martyr. He was the breadwinner for our family. He left, and my daughters and I were left without any financial support.

My house was completely destroyed, as it was bombed by the occupation, and I am now living in my husband's family's house. I am permanently displaced from one place to another, moving constantly in order to protect my daughters.

My daughter Siwar suffers from malnutrition and severe respiratory infections from the missiles and smell of gunpowder that the occupation fires at us. She suffers from a psychological state of fear and panic due to the sounds of the missiles, and from a skin disease on her hands. My daughter Sarah also suffers from a psychological state of fear and panic when she hears the sound of the missiles.

I am trying to leave Gaza with my daughters because of the genocidal war and our continuous displacement from the areas where we are under bombardment, terror, and missiles that the occupation fires at us.

What hurts me most about this war is my fear for my daughters. I am trying to leave Gaza because of the poverty and hunger that my daughters and I are exposed to. So I decided to leave with my daughters out of fear for our lives. We face death every moment in the most horrific of ways. This war has taken so much from us. It took my husband and many friends and relatives.

Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a big difference in my daughters' lives. If you can't help me by donating, please help me by sharing our link with your friends. Thank you for your sympathy.

I want nothing more than to live a decent and happy life with my daughters. I hope we can escape this genocide and hunger so we can be well again.
