Please, donโ€™t scroll past my sisterโ€™s family and her children. Yesterday, little Marwa was fine. But today, while playing like any innocent child, she fell and landed on her face, leaving her hurt and in pain. Marwa is not just a child who had an accidentโ€”she is a little girl who was born in the midst of war and has known nothing but hardship, fear, and deprivation. Unlike her older siblings, who were fortunate enough to experience some happy days before the war, Marwa has never known a normal childhood. She has never felt true safety, stability, or the simple joys that every child deserves. Today, my sisterโ€™s family is completely overwhelmed by the harsh conditions they are facing. They are in desperate need of food, clean water, and medical care, yet they cannot provide even the most basic necessities without the support of kind-hearted people. Every donation, no matter how small, can make a real difference. It can help provide a meal, medicine, clean water, or simply give this struggling family a chance to keep going through these incredibly difficult times. Please donโ€™t leave them to face this hardship alone. Your kindness and generosity could bring comfort, relief, and hope to children who have already endured far more than any child ever should. chuffed.org/project/159319-sโ€ฆ

My baby Rahaf's respiratory condition has deteriorated again, and we had to urgently call an ambulance due to severe pneumonia. ๐Ÿ’” The doctors prescribed a nebulizer to be installed in our tent to help her receive the respiratory treatment she needs, but we can't afford the $460 cost after being exhausted by medical expenses to secure her necessary medication, ongoing tests, and follow-up appointments with specialists. Every time her condition worsens, we dread reaching this point again: an ambulance, fear, and waiting for my infant daughter to catch her breath, all while fearing we won't arrive in time. Please, don't leave us to face this alone. Donate what you can and help us spread the word about our plight to those who can help. chuffed.org/project/182881-hโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™
My baby girl Rahaf's lungs are no longer able to supply her tiny body with enough oxygen. ๐Ÿ’” She is suffering from acute respiratory failure due to severe pneumonia and urgently needs oxygen, medication, continuous tests and analyses, and follow-up care from specialists. chuffed.org/project/182881-hโ€ฆ We need $550 to cover her medical expenses, an amount far beyond our means given the years of displacement, suffering, and harsh conditions we have endured in Gaza. Every day of delay increases the risk to her life, especially living in a tent that lacks even the most basic safety and hygiene. Please don't ignore Rahaf's plea. Donate what you can and share her story with your friends; your contribution could save her life. ๐Ÿ™

We need $430 every three weeks to continue her treatment and give her a chance to survive. This illness doesn't improve in just a few days, and the medication we started has run out. My kind friends, if you are able to help, please do so today. If you cannot, please share my baby's plight so that, through your kindness, it may reach someone who can help. ๐Ÿ™

We are struggling to cover the cost of his treatment and basic necessities. ๐Ÿ™ We kindly appeal to compassionate people to help him during this difficult time.

Global CO2 emissions have plateaued since 2013, leading to a slower growth in atmospheric CO2 than would have otherwise been the case. In a new analysis at The Climate Brink, I've taken look at what would have happened if emissions had continued to grow.

Today, we took our daughter, Rafif, to the doctor to check on her health. After examining her, the doctor found that she has a fungal infection in her stomach, which is causing the persistent diarrhea she has been suffering from. She is also struggling with flu symptoms and a severe cold, which have left her even weaker and more exhausted. The doctor prescribed Flagyl and told us that if the diarrhea continues over the next three days, we will need to return for another examination. I feel helpless because I cannot protect my daughter, Rafif, from the harsh conditions we are living in. The water available to us is unsafe to drink, much of the food that reaches us is not fit to eat, and even the air we breathe is filled with the smell of rockets and gunpowder. All I want is to see my daughter healthy and safe, growing up like any other child in this world. Instead, every day feels like a new battle to protect her from illness and fear in an environment that threatens the most basic necessities of life: clean water, safe food, proper medicine, and clean air. What breaks my heart the most is not only Rafifโ€™s illness, but seeing such a young child struggle with diarrhea, the flu, a cold, and constant exhaustion when her days should be filled with laughter, play, and happiness. It hurts to feel powerless while watching her grow up in circumstances no child should ever have to endure. Please keep Rafif in your prayers. A sincere prayer may be the reason for her healing and relief from pain. We ask God to bless her with health, protect her from all harm, and replace her suffering with comfort, peace, and recovery. ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ™
Please keep praying for my daughter, Rafif. ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ™ Despite all the pain and suffering she is going through, she is trying with all her strength to remain steadfast. We will go in a few hours to the doctor to have my daughter Rafif examined, and despite the difficult conditions in Khan Younis, we will go to check on her. Our lives are constantly in danger, and even when we go to receive medical treatment, our lives are at risk at any moment. ๐Ÿ™ Keep Rafif in your hearts and prayers. We ask God to ease her suffering, grant her strength and patience, and bless her with a complete and speedy recovery. Please donโ€™t forget her in your prayers and kind wishes. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™

Please keep my daughter, Rafif, in your sincere prayers. For the past several hours, I have been deeply worried about her health. She is suffering from the flu, a severe cold, and congestion, and I will be taking her to the doctor today for an examination and to make sure she is okay.

Please donโ€™t forget Rafif in your prayersโ€”a heartfelt prayer from a caring soul may be the reason for relief and healing.

After the closure of Gazaโ€™s border crossings and the unprecedented rise in prices, I have become unable to provide even the most basic necessities for my family. What hurts me the most is the fear I feel for my little daughter. Baby formula and diapers have become scarce and extremely expensive. I need just $250 to purchase essential supplies and secure formula and diapers for my daughter before the situation becomes even more difficult. Any help, no matter how small, can make a huge difference for my family. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’” chuffed.org/project/othmanmaโ€ฆ

Waking up in the morning has become our greatest wish. We go to sleep to the sound of bombardment and gunfire, and we wake up to the same sounds. This is the reality of one family among hundreds of families living through the same fear and suffering every single day. Please donโ€™t forget us. Donโ€™t forget our faces, our stories, and our lives. In Gaza, life has become painfully short, and dreams are postponed day after day in the hope of seeing another morning.
The skies over central and eastern Khan Younis are now illuminated by flares, and fear grips us. Please keep us in your prayers.๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ™
