My brother Abdullah and his wife Tamam are both medical technicians. They have four little sons: Mohammed, Adam, Hamza, and Yahya. My brother was injured by israeli shelling in December. He was filling the water tank on the rooftop of our house when he was directly targeted; he now has shrapnel wounds in his ear, jaw, and chest. As dedicated healthcare workers, and since the beginning of the israeli assault, my brother and his wife have not stopped working at hospitals in North Gaza (except briefly when my brother was wounded), even as they saw israeli forces bomb, besiege, and attack these hospitals one after the other. Last week, Tamam’s brother, a paramedic and a nurse, was killed by an israeli airstrike while he was helping the wounded in Beit Hanoun, North Gaza. Despite the 17-year israeli-egyptian blockade on Gaza, my siblings and their spouses always worked hard to put food on the table for their children. And they did so with such love and care and kindness. Today, of these eight adults who had full-time jobs before October, only one has been paid regularly during the past six months. The rest have either been paid twice over six months, or have lost their jobs and not been paid any salary at all. Now going into the seventh month of the genocide, my siblings and their families have run out of any savings they had. With the destruction of three houses, the loss of the family business of olive trees, and the lack of any regular income through day jobs, it is impossible for my family to carry on without your support. The funds collected will be spent on basic needs to survive for as long as the genocide continues: food, water, rent, medicine, clothes, transport, and home schooling. If a ceasefire is reached soon and my family members are able to resume work in the next few months, any excess of the money raised in this campaign will be donated to Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP). With deep gratitude, Sarah
