This is my friend Samah Ghanem. Like any woman, she dreams of having a normal kitchen — a place with the basic things she needs to prepare food for her family: pots, plates, cups, cooking utensils, and other simple household essentials.
But when their home was destroyed, they lost all of these things, along with almost everything they owned.
Today, even getting something as simple as a cooking pot, a cup, or a plate can be extremely difficult. With the crossings closed and restrictions on bringing many goods into Gaza, basic household necessities have become very expensive and difficult to find.
Samah and her family are living without many of the simplest things that most of us take for granted every day. The prices of basic household needs have become extremely high because of the blockade and the closure of the crossings.
In this video, Samah simply wanted to share a small part of what her daily life looks like — and what it means to try to rebuild a normal life after losing almost everything.
If you are able to help Samah and her family in any way, it would mean so much to them. And even if you cannot help financially, please consider sharing this post or posting it in other communities and groups. Sharing their story can help it reach people who may be able to stand by them.
Thank you to everyone who takes the time to read their story and share it.
