Family of Five Battling Displacement, Debt, and Daily Hunger 💔

💔 Hanan Hassan’s Story: A Family of Five Battling Displacement, Debt, and Daily Hunger 💔

👩‍👧‍👧 Who Is Hanan?

I’m Hanan Hassan, a 32-year-old mother of three children.
We lost our home during the invasion of Al-Maghazi Camp (Dec 2023 – Jan 2024). Since then, we’ve been struggling to survive.

My family:

• 👨 Husband: 41 years old – recently showed stroke symptoms after the trauma of displacement

• 👧 Rahaf, 11 years old — Grade 6

• 👧 Habiba, 9 years old — Grade 4

• 👦 Omar, 6 years old — not enrolled in kindergarten due to lack of funds

• 🏚️ We live in a badly damaged rental — no contract, rent is 700 NIS/month, and we’re now 4 months behind

🩺 Health & Medical Needs

• 👶 Omar suffers from severe insect allergies: requires injections, antibiotics, and creams

• 🧔 Husband has asthma and needs a weekly inhaler

• 😓 After our house was bombed, my husband started showing stroke signs — we managed a CT scan, but treatment is unaffordable

• 💊 I have no way to access regular food or clean water, let alone medicine

📚 Education Barriers

• 📒 No school supplies — can’t afford printed worksheets, pens, or notebooks

• ❌ Omar is out of school — due to loss of income and war conditions

• 💡 Children study by phone flashlight — we lost our battery during the bombing and can’t afford a new one (very expensive)

🏚️ Living Conditions

• 🏠 We rent a tiny, damaged home from someone we know — no lease, constant threat of eviction

• 🪑 Lost everything: furniture, clothing, belongings — the house was completely destroyed

• 🔦 No power, and no lighting other than our phone

• 💧 Water is a huge struggle:

  • Bathing water: 200L barrel shared with others, filled every 10–14 days — lasts only 3 days

  • Drinking water: Buy 20L daily for 5 NIS, but can barely afford it

• 🔥 Even firewood is hard to find — we often go without cooked meals

❗ What We Urgently Need

• 🏠 Rent support (to avoid eviction)

• 💧 Water & sanitation assistance

• 🩺 Medicine: asthma inhalers, allergy shots, antibiotics

• 📚 Education supplies for the children

• 💡 Battery or lighting aid — no electricity

• 🛏️ Basic household items & clothing (all destroyed in bombing)

• 🥣 Food support — sometimes we can’t even afford bread

💬 From Hanan Hassan

“I used to embroider and my husband worked in a cafeteria. Together we saved 15,000 dinars and bought our house in 2019. We lost everything.

Now I can’t even give my kids a full meal. We’re behind on rent and may be forced to leave again.

We’re tired, cold, and hungry — please help us survive.”

🤲 Your help can bring light, warmth, and dignity back to this family.
