Help Israa and her children evacuate from Gaza
Donation protected
My name is Sophia Mandes and I am raising funds on behalf of Israa, her father, and her two children. Below is her story.
I am Isra Hammad, married with two children and my infant daughter, whom I gave birth to during the war. During my pregnancy, I suffered from malnutrition and lack of treatment or even healthcare. At the beginning of the war, I was displaced from our home to Rafah. After that, I lost my home and all my family, and all that remained with me was my father, who was bedridden. He has cancer and needs urgent healthcare and surgeries. We lived in a tent. I spent the winter there, where the weather was extremely cold. My children suffered from illnesses and a lack of diapers and milk. The occupation also besieged us, and the situation worsened, as the occupation captured my husband and took him away in front of my eyes. He has been missing for 11 months and is still missing. I do not know if he is alive or dead. My daughter was born four months ago in a small nylon tent, where the heat is unbearable for any human being for more than a few minutes, so what if we lived in it for more than 11 months!! We lost our most basic rights as we suffered from hunger and polluted water that was not fit for drinking. Save my father, I have no one else left, he needs urgent chemotherapy and intensive treatment and save my children.
