Ayman's family evacuated to Mawasi today. One of his brothers has a motor disability, so displacement is incredibly difficult for them. They are helpers by nature so I know things must be bad if Ayman posted for help.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Abed. Abed is 31, his wife Bara and him were seeking out treatment so they could start a family before the war. They lost their home, he lost his job and Bara lost her university studies. He’s now supporting his extended family.
