Wafaa's family is verified by Hussein (@el-shab-hussein) and Nairuz (@nabulsi) on their spreadsheet (family number 171).
As you may know, Wafaa has been shadowbanned by tumblr again for the third time in the past two weeks (her messaging function had literally only returned two days ago before it was gone again). you can find Wafaa at @wafs-posts. This morning, Wafaa asked me to post this message for more reach:
Today, after several months, the situation has become worse after the bombing of my house, the evacuation of Rafah, forced displacement, and displacement without the necessities of life. My family was displaced several times from Rafah to Al-Mawasi in the Al-Alam area, and after being displaced several times, my family remained besieged for 3 consecutive days without food or drink. These were days full of fear, and screaming.
I was in a state of panic and psychological difficulty. Recently, one night they had to flee at night due to the severity of the violent confrontations. It has become an unsafe area. They fled again to Nuseirat and stayed there for about a month. After the Nuseirat massacre, my family fled with all oppression, humiliation and pain to Khan Yunis. They set up a tent on top of the rubble and are in a bad condition.
Due to malnutrition, polluted water, high prices and staying in tents, skin diseases and liver epidemics are prevalent. It is extremely difficult to get water, you would have to fight for bread. As a result, my family's health is at risk due to malnutrition, lack of hygiene, harsh weather conditions in the tent, and difficult access to sanitation. With the lack of medicines, life has become almost non-existent, so the thought of losing my loved ones haunts me now more than ever. Conditions are getting worse every day.
The presence of wonderful people with pure hearts like you gives me hope that my campaign will end quickly and gives my daughters and grandchildren hope to evacuate, get rid of this nightmare, and overcome the most difficult times in their lives. Thank you for your support and giving them hope under the difficult circumstances.
I raise my hat to you in respect and appreciation, my friends. You are my family. You all donated and have not stopped giving. I hope you will continue this giving until my family is evacuated. I wanted to let you know that I will be adding my brother and his family to my campaign. They are also in a bad situation and need help and evacuation.
please donate what you can to Wafaa!! her campaign has been slowing down in the past weeks and we need to help the children (all under the age of 10, one of them only a few months old) avoid long-lasting health effects of malnutrition and severe hepatitis infections from unclean water.
