Abu Muhammad and his family have endured the ongoing suffering caused by war and displacement. 90% of Gaza’s population has been displaced, often on multiple occasions.
Countless families, like Abu Muhammad’s, are now subject to the dire conditions of displacement camps, crowded with entire communities who have lost their homes and entire livelihoods.
Not only do families face the constant threat of fighting, but also the deprivation of necessities such as clean water, food and hygiene essentials. The loss of Gaza’s infrastructure and the collapse of the economy has made everyday basics unaffordable – prices have soared since the beginning of the war and employment and regular income is almost impossible to come by.
Due to the difficulty of accessing safe and desalinated water, families in Gaza still face the risk of waterborne diseases.
Abu Muhammad loves Mansaf, a traditional Levant dish made with lamb, rice, and yogurt. However, since the war began, he and his family have not been able to enjoy this meal, which holds precious memories and stories of the past.

Almost half of Gaza’s population are children, meaning that those who have suffered the heaviest burden of this war are those most at risk. The children of Gaza are facing psychological impact of mass displacement and continued fighting.
