“Rafat’s Struggle: A Father Protecting His Family Amid Gaza’s War”

Rafat is a father of four, a man whose greatest dream was to raise his children in safety and dignity. But the brutal war in Gaza has turned that dream into a fight for survival.

With his wife and little ones by his side, Rafat has been displaced more than once, forced to leave behind the walls that once sheltered them. Today, they live in a fragile tent, battered by wind and rain, with no protection from the cold nights. The simplest things—food, clean water, and medicine—have become nearly impossible to find.

Each day begins with uncertainty: Will there be bread today? Will there be water to drink? Will his children endure another night in the freezing dark without warmth or comfort? His wife, exhausted and worried, struggles to keep the children calm as Rafat searches endlessly for ways to provide for them.

And yet, despite the unimaginable hardship, Rafat holds on to hope. His eyes reflect the determination of a father who refuses to give up, who will do anything to protect his family. But he cannot do it alone.

Rafat is not asking for much—only for the basics that every human being deserves: food to fill empty stomachs, clean water to quench thirst, medicine for his children, and shelter to keep them safe.

Today, we have the chance to stand with Rafat and his family. Together, we can ease their suffering, restore their dignity, and remind them that they are not forgotten.

Please, extend your hand and help Rafat’s family survive these darkest of days.
