Adnan's empty dinner table
Adnan's family in Gaza is facing a devastating reality, there is no food left. What began as small, rationed meals has now quickly reduced to nothing but tea. Each night, their dinner plates have held less and less, until today, when there is simply nothing left to eat.
Ramadan started well in Adnan's family, thanks to your generous donations. He managed to go to the market and buy everything he needed to feed the whole family. Besides his wife and himself, Adnan also provides for his parents, brothers and their children.
I have been in touch with Adnan and his family, and the pictures they've sent tell a heartbreaking story. On the first night of Ramadan, they managed to serve chicken, fresh vegetables, rice, bread, salad. On the second day, when the borders closed, they still managed to find chicken, but the prices had almost tripled compared to the previous day. Days ago, their evening meal consisted of canned food and a few vegetables. Then, only rice. Then, just tea. And today, nothing but an empty table.
This is the reality for so many families in Gaza right now. Food supplies are scarce, and prices are soaring beyond reach. Children are going to sleep hungry. Parents are left helpless, watching their loved ones suffer. We cannot turn away. We cannot allow Adnan's family - and countless others - to go hungry. Adnan is also currently suffering from a severe cold but if he gets donations, instead of medicine, he prefers to buy food for his family.
I am calling on you to help. Any donation, no matter how small, can make a difference. It can mean a meal for a hungry child. It can mean hope for a desperate family. Please donate today via this donation link. Share this story. Be the reason Adnan's family has food on their table tomorrow.
Together, we can ensure that no one is left to survive on just tea. Thank you for your donation. Together we are powerful.
