1. As discussions of a potential ceasefire in Gaza gain momentum, our fears of the Israeli occupation's escalating aggression grow stronger. They continue to target innocent civilians mercilessly, seeking to claim as many lives as possible. Since this morning alone, airstrikes have taken the lives of hundreds, leaving behind countless casualties and grief.
2. Reports suggest that the border crossing might open soon, and this could be our only chance to escape the daily hell we endure. We urgently need your support now more than ever.
3. We appeal to you to stand by us and donate to save our lives, the lives of our children, and our loved ones. Every contribution, no matter how small, can make a significant difference.
4. Please help us by sharing this message and supporting us during these critical moments. Thank you for always standing with us.
