Yesterday 23.03.2024 Arwa, Lamia and their children fled from their shelter and ran under bombs and gunfire towards Amani’s house. Thank God they arrived slightly injured but safe. 🤲
Now they are looking again for a new safe place to stay.
My mum and brother are still in the danger zone and unfortunately we can’t call them.
Please Keep praying for all of them. God will release them all for us and for all people. 🤲
if you can, please share our fundraising campaign and help to get my family out of the war zone.

Mona and her children are now safe for the time being. They have been staying at the house of Abdulrahman’s friend, a noble man who has helped them get out of the danger zone. They will stay there until they find a new shelter. THANK GOD🤲
BUT!
Mum, Arwa and Lamia and the children are fine, the drinking water is gone and they are now drinking salty water. the situation is still critical and dangerous
Please Keep praying for all of them. God will release them all for us and for all people. 🤲
For more than three days, my sister Mona and her children Abeer, Duaa, Ahmad and Abdelrahman (disabled) have been surrounded in the building where they are seeking shelter. Without food and without water.
Today my brother Ibrahim was able to speak to her on the phone and find out more about the situation.
All the men were arrested and dragged along, about 70 men were surrounded on all sides by 3 metre high earth walls and mounds.
Women and children were gathered on the ground floor of the building. They didn’t know when and where they were allowed to go outside, they were waiting for orders from the occupying soldiers!
Later today they would be allowed to leave the building. They had to walk eastwards. They arrived at a somewhat secure place for the time being. Only for tonight and possibly until tomorrow. After that they will try to continue eastwards to Abeer’s house near Amani. that would be in Al Shejaiyah. the situation is and remains difficult and changes every moment.
Lamia and Arwa are fine, they are stuck at home and can’t do anything. My mum is also fine, she is in the same situation. The situation is absolutely dangerous. We hope it will calm down again soon.
Please pray for all of them. God will release them all for us and for all people. 🤲
since last night 17.3.2024 the area around Al Shifa hospital has been bombed again. my mother, brother, sister Arwa Lamia and Mona are still there. sister Mona is the closest to the hospital. Today 18 March 2024, like everyone else in the area, she had to fear for her life and the lives of her family. This morning, several neighbouring houses were bombed and completely destroyed. My sister cried on the phone and asked us what she should do. It is possible that the house in which she is seeking shelter is the nearest house. She can’t go out because the tanks and snipers are outside. we didn’t know what to say. Except that we prayed to God to protect them and have mercy on them. 😔
The situation eased a little towards the evening, but everyone had their bags ready in case they had to leave. They also have all their clothes on (hijab), so at least they are not exposed.

Sharing with you my sisters’ daily struggle to find food in the Besieged Gaza City in the north of the Besieged Gaza Strip. They forage around and when they find something that looks edible they try to figure out if it is safe to eat it and feed the hungry children.
Sometimes they send us plant photos asking if it is safe to eat. We try our best to search and Google the pictures and descriptions.
What is the chance that we or Google make a mistake and misidentify a plant and tell them it is safe to eat and feed hungry children? Some pictures below show what they are foraging and we managed to identify
- Wood Sorrel, edible
- Sago Palm, Toxic for humans and pets
- Beet leafs, edible
- Araucaria Pine, nuts are edible, but not sure about the trunk sap
Donations are still needed to Give life to my family in Gaza.
Please donate or pass on my fundraiser details to people you know.
Your support will grant life and keep hope alive in humanity.
God Bless you all.
Ibrahim Joha
