I am Laila Shaqura, a displaced person from northern Gaza to southern Gaza, specifically the city of Rafah.
In light of this ongoing aggression, there is no glimmer of hope except for you and your standing with us. I tell you the story of my mother and her fetus in this war.
In the midst of this devastation, the expectant mother faces countless challenges. She suffers from malnutrition due to a lack of healthy food, which exposes her and her fetus to multiple health risks. Due to the lack of adequate health care and weak immunity, this led to her contracting hepatitis, anemia, intestinal diseases, and preeclampsia.
In addition, the psychological pressure resulting from war and displacement increases her suffering. The constant concern for the safety of the family and the fear of the sound of the continuing violent bombing tonight led to high blood pressure, imbalance in movement, and fainting this morning. It was a very bad morning.
Despite the sound of cannons, the sound of bullets, the bombing, the fear and anxiety, a new life continues to form inside the mother’s womb. My mother held me with hope for the future, but the war stole from her the ability to dream.
Not only did she carry a fetus, but she also carried the burdens and pain of war.
The pain of her pregnancy increases with the weight of the war and its sorrows. She carried life in her belly and the war destroys life around her. We sometimes wonder,
Will this expected child live in such a broken world?
At this moment, I wonder if the war will take this awaited child from us before he sees the light??!
Rafah is no longer safe, and the sounds of bombing intensify every night.
There is no time to escape death. My mother's health condition is deteriorating. There is no health care. We want her to stay alive.
This is about the lives of two people (a mother and her child).
Let us extend a helping hand to those who have lost everything.Your donation can give new lives and hope for the future.

Decided to draw a bit of Kloe’s background and childhood! When Kloe was younger (about teen years) she was amazing at surfing and even won many awards in competitions! And yes, she has a twin called Kai. Kara the kangaroo was and still is her childhood best friend to this day, it’s hard for Kloe to visit Kara as Kloe is now an octonaut!
I was able to talk to my father for two minutes today after three days of no contact.
He told me that he walked for two hours today to get my grandfather's medicine and secure food for the children, but he couldn't find the medicine and only found a small amount of food, not enough to meet their daily needs.
The war has become more brutal than before, with no water 💧, electricity ⚡, or cooking gas 🔥 available.
Please share and donate if you can, believe me my family needs your help in this time, every single dollar will make a difference and save their life🙏🏻🙏🏻
