They Are Waiting for Us

❝ My life was turned upside down in an instant… After I was injured, I can no longer work or provide for my family. I have a permanent disability in my leg, and shrapnel fragments remain in my back and spine. Every movement causes pain, but I continue to be patient… ❞

Life in Gaza is already extremely difficult, but for injured and dependent people, the conditions are even harsher. Families who struggle for days just to find water and food are trying to hold on to life in places that are incredibly difficult to live in. Especially with winter approaching… the cold makes their wounds and desperation even more painful.

❝ When my brother was killed, our world came crashing down. He used to take care of us… Now we are struggling both with his absence and with the difficulty of making ends meet. I have to carry two large containers on my back just to bring water by myself. Life has never returned to what it was… ❞

These people need more than just bread, water, or a blanket… They need a helping hand to reach them so they can breathe again. Hoping that their suffering will be heard and seen, they are calling for help.

As Mavi Marmara’s Gaza Representative Office, we continue our efforts to deliver urgent support to families and those who have been injured and are struggling in difficult conditions. Every contribution you make, according to your means, can help a family see hope once again through the darkness.
