💔 My heart is breaking for my mother and my family in Gaza.
I don't know how to find the right words to describe what my family is going through right now.
As many of you know, I was evacuated from Gaza and am now living in Switzerland. But while my body is here, my heart and mind remain with my family in Gaza every single day.
Over the past few days, my brother Ali has been sharing heartbreaking messages about the suffering of our family. The hunger is getting worse, my father is injured, and my younger siblings have gone to sleep without dinner.
But what has broken my heart the most is my mother's suffering.
For the past two months, my mother has been living with terrible dental pain. She has lost all her back teeth, and her remaining teeth are starting to decay and fall out. She desperately needs dental treatment, but my family cannot afford it.
My brother recently told us that he came home and found our mother crying uncontrollably because of the pain. Just imagining her crying, knowing that I am thousands of kilometres away and unable to comfort her or help her, breaks something inside me.
My mother has spent her entire life caring for us, protecting us, and sacrificing everything for her children. And now, when she needs us the most, we are struggling to provide her with even the most basic medical care.
My brother is trying to raise $3,000 for her dental treatment and implants, while our family also urgently needs money for food, including flour and rice.
I am trying my best to build a life here in Switzerland, continue my studies, and find a way to support my family. But some days, the weight of everything feels impossible to carry.
I am sharing this because I cannot remain silent while my mother is suffering and my family is struggling to survive.
If you can help my family, even with a small donation, it would mean more to us than words can express. And if you cannot donate, please consider sharing our story with others.
I don't want anything extraordinary. I just want my mother to live without pain, my younger siblings to go to sleep without hunger, and my family to have a chance to live with dignity.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me and my family. Your kindness gives me hope when everything feels overwhelming.
Please don't forget my family in Gaza. 💔

We are facing an emergency.
My wife is nearing the end of her 8th month of pregnancy and is at risk of malnutrition due to the lack of nutritious foods rich in vitamins and protein.
I’m also deeply worried about complications for my daughter Kiraz after her surgery, as the foods she needs to recover are unavailable.
Prices have become unbearably high, far beyond our means.
Please, we need your help now more than ever. Donate and share. Every contribution matters. 🙏
Within the next 48 hours, if flour is not allowed into Gaza, all bakeries in the city will stop producing bread.
We are facing an enormous catastrophe. Famine is knocking on our doors once again, and this time, it could be worse than anything we have experienced before.
Please, do not remain silent! Talk about Gaza, make our voices heard around the world, and do everything you can before thousands of people lose access to something as basic as a loaf of bread.
I walk through the streets here, watching the ground become covered in yellow autumn leaves, and I find myself thinking of Mahmoud Darwish, the Palestinian poet who once wrote: “Our autumn is approaching our doorstep.”
It is as though he could see, from afar, the dark cloud that would one day hang over our heads, foreseeing a darkness that would last longer than our souls could bear.
And in the stillness of these streets, my thoughts wander to Gaza, where it is not leaves that fall, but homes, dreams, and entire lifetimes.
There, where death has become more present than life itself, where we are living through the darkest season in our history and our struggle, even hope has begun to feel like a stranger amid the ruins.
And as I walk over the withered leaves, I wonder: Could this be the final season of our story? Or is there still a spring waiting to be born upon this land? Will the sun, no matter how long it has been gone, one day find its way back to us?
Perhaps the cruelest part of this darkness is that we no longer know whether we are waiting for the dawn or watching the sun set for the very last time.

Kiraz is experiencing severe pain after undergoing surgery and from the effects of the anesthesia.
I am trying to calm her down and relieve her pain and discomfort as much as possible. She needs some time to recover fully.
Therefore, my daughter still needs your help so that we can provide some of her needs, including medication, clean water, juices, and cold drinks, which will help her recover as quickly as possible.
Please do not hesitate to donate and share the campaign. Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a difference in my daughter Kiraz’s recovery journey. 🙏❤️

After waiting for more than two months, hoping to receive a date for my daughter Kiraz’s tonsil and adenoid removal surgery, the doctor finally informed me that the operation will take place tomorrow morning.
But we are now in urgent need of raising the costs of the surgery and her full medical and healthcare needs, which amount to $2,000, including hospital fees, medical examinations, the private surgeon’s fees, and some of the essential medications she needs.
If we cannot raise this amount today and tomorrow, we will be unable to pay the costs and proceed with the surgery as scheduled, and the doctor will have to postpone it indefinitely. We do not know how many more months we will have to wait before receiving another appointment.
My daughter Kiraz suffers from severe pain and constant discomfort every day because of her enlarged tonsils and adenoids. She struggles with persistent breathing difficulties, severe throat infections, difficulty speaking, as well as high fevers and severe migraine attacks.
My little daughter desperately needs this surgery now so she can recover and finally be free from the pain, suffering, and agony that follow her day after day. It breaks my heart to watch her suffer before my eyes while I am unable to provide the treatment she needs.
My friends, I need your help now more than ever. Your support could be the reason my daughter Kiraz is saved from this suffering and given the chance to experience her childhood in peace, after having faced genocide since the day she was born.
I beg you, please do not leave us alone during these difficult moments. Every donation, no matter how small, can make an enormous difference in my daughter’s life and help us raise the cost of her surgery before it is too late.
Please, help us by donating and sharing our appeal as widely as possible, so we can save my daughter Kiraz and give her the chance to live a childhood free from suffering.🥹🙏

Everyone who has been saying they want to help Gaza and support its people needs to do more than just talk. Sharing this campaign is the bare minimum. Gaza is heading into another winter, and people are still living in tents, exposed to the rain and cold.
If you mean it when you say you stand with Gaza, prove it. Share this campaign. Help us reach people. Do something before the rain comes.

One year has passed since you left us, Saleh. < You loved sign language so much, and I still see you in every memory we shared amid death and war.
We survived, but the pain of losing you remains.
May Allah have mercy on you, my dear friend, my beloved. Until we meet again.
12 أكتـ ـ وبر | ذكرى استـ ـ ـ شهاد الصحفي صالح الجعفراوي .
مشهدٌ جمع الشهيـ ـ ـ دين الصحفيين صالح الجعفراوي وأنس الشريف، يوم وقف إطلاق النار في غزة، حين عاد الأهالي من الجنوب إلى الشمال بعد عام ونصف من النزوح.
لقاءٌ وثّقته الكاميرا، وبقيت ذكراه شاهدةً على لحظةٍ انتظرها أهل غزة طويلًا… وعلى صحفيين حملا وجعها إلى العالم، فبقي صوتهما حاضرًا رغم الغياب.
رحم الله صالحًا وأنسًا، وأنس حيّ… وصوته باقٍ.
Today is the first anniversary of the martyrdom of journalist Saleh Al-Jafrawi who has been an inspiration to millions of people around the world.
May Allah place his soul in the highest heavens. ❤️🤲
.@instagram has just shut down the phenomenal slain journalist @AnasAlSharif0’s account which is a massive archive of Israel’s war crimes in Gaza before his assassination.
The suppression of Palestinian journalists doesn’t end with their killing. It goes far beyond.
4 evladını kopardılar
Yetmedi ayaklarını kestiler
O da yetmedi sağ gözünü kör ettiler
Yine durmadılar bedenini yaktılar
Ve tüm bu zulümleri yapıp tedavisiz bıraktılar
After two hours of rest, Mira and I are returning to her mother... our hearts trembling with fear. 💔
We hope the doctor will share good news about Mira’s mother and our unborn baby. We don’t know what lies ahead, but we are trying to stay strong.
Your continued support in preparing for our baby and covering my wife’s medical expenses means the world to us. Please help however you can; even if you cannot donate, simply sharing our story helps—it lets me know you are standing by me during the hardest days of my life. 🙏💔
