I became keluarga angkat with this cute dear. Boy’s nickname is Aboodi. A helpful and hardworking kid who loves cats.
I’ve spoken to Aboodi’s brother, @ahmedpalestine personally. Tonight as I type this on 25th Sept 2024 on my timezone, the story is that the family’s been struggling with rain. Tents couldn’t hold rainwater well.
Report from UNRWA describes conditions from Oct 2023-Sept 2024. Clipped additionally is a photo by journalist Ashraf Amra showing the recent heavy rainfall in the area where Aboodi’s family currently is, Deir al-Balah.
I’d like to take this moment to remind you all that this family, along many others, are still stuck in Gaza and forced to pay exorbitant prices for necessities like food, shelter, and sanitary products like diapers and pads.
The water is still dirty and makes people sick. Sick enough to die.
Their houses and tents are still being bombed. People are still being bombed. And sniped. And tortured in ways that you and I can never even begin to imagine.
The food is still scarce. Protein is extremely expensive, nearly $70 and above for just a simple carton of eggs. IF there are any eggs to be had. Let alone meat. Their bread consists of animal pellets and blood stained flour that people have been massacred over.
They are still forced to continue surgeries without any anesthetic or antibiotics. Children are still forced to undergo multiple amputations in efforts to save their lives. Hands and fingers, legs and feet, and if they do not die of blood loss or shock, they instead might die from infection.
This is a manmade genocide.
Don’t forget that.
Don’t turn your backs.
If you can donate $5, donate $5.
If you can’t, there is still plenty that you can do.
You can like, comment, share, reblog, copy link, and so much more all for free.
And while all of these are wonderful, the absolute best thing you can do for these people is reblog these posts so that more eyes can see and help them.
Don’t turn your backs when you can still make a change.
