Help the children Eleen, Talen, Laren and family survive!

Donation protected
Hello,
My name is Jamil Sharaf. I am 37 years old. I own a shop and have been working in the field of printing and advertising for more than 15 years. My family consists of 5 members, me and my wife Riham, who is 35 years old.
We have three children, daughters Elaine, 11, Talyn, 9, and our youngest, little angel Laren, is 1 and a half years old.

My family and I live in very difficult circumstances in Gaza after October 7, as we were displaced from our home 5 times.
I left with my wife and our young children several times from northern Gaza and could not find a safe place for the children. Then the army ordered us to escape to the south of the Gaza Strip, so I fled with my wife and children. Then we ended up fleeing to a small tent on the seashore and sleeping on the sand in the bitter cold.

The tent fell on us more than once due to the strong winds, and the children were screaming and frightened.
The family suffers from a lack of food and medicine, especially my young daughters. My daughter, Laren, is one and a half years old. Her milk has run out and we cannot buy it due to the high prices. Elaine and Talyn saw the fruit, and they screamed and cried and said, “We want this, Dad.” My heart was crying and breaking. I cannot buy it due to my inability and lack of money. It meets the needs of children.

There was also a shortage of healthy drinking water, which caused severe stomach pain and children contracted hepatitis.
Due to the conditions imposed by the Israeli occupation and the siege and the lack of resources, it was difficult to provide the children with basic and simple needs, such as special diapers in Larin, and to provide the needs of Ellen and Tallinn. Due to the lack of resources, they also suffered from skin rashes, and there is no treatment for them due to the siege.

To make matters worse, the family and the young children did not find a place to live, other than a tent directly on the seashore, and the sea waves were only a few meters away from them.
The family and the three children cannot sleep at night because of the sound of the wind hitting the nylon of the tent and the frightening sound of the sea waves, which leave them in fear and terror all the time. There is no bathroom or hot water for bathing. The mother washes the children’s clothes with sea water.
If there is food, it is cooked on firewood, and it is completely unhealthy and tastes bad because of the firewood.


I never imagined that our lives would be like this. My wife, I, and our three children lived a beautiful, quiet life in Gaza. We had big dreams for our children and planned for a bright future. We had a printing and advertising shop, and my wife worked for the Women's Rights Foundation. We had a very good income. There was a house with a roof to shelter us, a warm bed for the children, and a special room for games and all their needs were provided. But the war deprived them of that.
The house was bombed, the shop was bombed, everything was destroyed because of the war, and nothing was left, not even clothes. nothing left .
Your donation and sharing our story will greatly help rebuild our lives, provide the necessary protection for our children, and provide them with their basic necessities, such as food and treatment.
Thank you for your support, for listening to our story and for helping us through this difficult time.
