Maryam has been injured for 59 days.
She has spent every moment in agony for 59 days.
What adds to the heartbreak is that when her brother Mohammed last spoke to her she didn’t mention her extreme pain, instead she asked him to find a source from which they could purchase flour as her two daughters had gone twelve days without food.
Maryam has survived two bombardments, tragically losing several family members including her husband.
She suffers from a severe fracture and dislocation in her shoulder as you can see in the x-ray with edema (swelling caused by fluid entrapment) and loss of function.
What makes her situation even more dire is that her passport and identification papers were destroyed during the second bombardment, as a result she’s unable to travel to Egypt for the essential operation and treatment she needs.
How can we help Maryam?
By sharing her story and drawing attention to it, we hope to reach out to humanitarian organizations that are both willing and capable of assisting in cruel situations like this.
Please join us in the effort to #SaveInjuredGaza and #SaveMaryam.
Child deaths in wars:
Iraq: 3,100 in 14 years
Syria: 12,000 in 11 years
Yemen: 3,700 in 7 years
Ukraine: 520 in 21 months
Palestine: 10,000+ in 2 months.
Does the world condemn the killing of children or is it only some children?
seeing her beautiful smile brought tears to my eyes on god. may all Palestinians experience the joy they were robbed of tenfold on their own soil and without being forcibly removed like Plestia was.
