These children have been displaced eleven times. They were living in a make-shift shelter with sheets and tarps before a local mutual aid organization (ASIC GAZA) donated their tent. Since then, they have endured shelling in their neighborhood with tanks stationed nearby (tragicaly, a neighbor’s child was killed). In January 2026 Salah was hit by a truck. Thankfully, the trauma to his head was not life-threatening and he has made a full recovery. 

Each child has only one set of winter clothes, no closed-toe shoes, and an insufficient supply of mats and blankets. Their tent is not waterproof. As a result, all of their belongings get soaked in the rains. The children’s grandmother lives with them and suffers from liver cancer. The medicine she needs costs 220 shekels per month ($71), and she regularly goes without it becuase there is not enough money for basics like food. She currently needs surgery to remove another mass. The family finds scraps to burn in order to cook their food over a fire. There is no bathroom; they use a communal chamber pot.
