Phone Calls from Palestine

Imagine living in a tent which is too hot at times yet leaks when it rains. That’s your home. At least for now, until the next evacuation. Who knows where you will end up next. This is the reality for Mohamed and his family, who are originally from Rafah

“While bullets go over our heads, we don’t have anything to eat,” Mohamed tells me.

“We are homeless and rain drops break through into our tent.”

Mohamed Algalab has three children – the eldest of which, Ahmad, suffers from ichthyosis, a skin condition which can be incredibly painful.

It can cause frequent skin infections, hair loss, and problems with hearing and eyesight.

“His skin becomes dry, cracked and bleeds occasionally,” Mohamed tells me.

“Beyond this, his mental health has been destroyed.

“But there is a lack of medical tools, medicine, health assistance and life basics.”

Ahmad needs clean water at the very least.

And skin infections are rife due to the squalid conditions our Palestinian brothers and sisters are now forced to live in.

Basic facilities have been destroyed by the genocide and families have no choice to bed down on the dusty ground with sand worms and flies.

The hot weather doesn’t help things any.

And, of course, immune systems are compromised due to malnutrition and dehydration.

Please don’t let Ahmad become another statistic.

Can you help Mohamed and his family survive in Gaza until there is a ceasefire?

You can donate directly or via my crowdfunding campaign.

Thank you and free Palestine.
