After not hearing from them for almost a week and knowing they were being forced out of Gaza City, here are some recent texts from our friends in Gaza, the Watfas ------------------ "Hello Bruce and his family, how are you?" "We are not well. The house was bombed and Ahmed's mother and sister were injured and they were sent south by the Red Cross." "His father and brothers went on foot to the south and now they sleep in the hospital because they are displaced and do not have a place to move and my husband and I stayed in the north to escape from place to place because I am pregnant and I can't walk a long distance, so Ahmed stayed in the north for me." "I sent a video of the house we rented before and I will send you a video after it was bombed, but due to the interruption of the Internet and moving from place to place, I will send it later." "Due to the weakness of the Internet, I will send the video later. I hope that my appeal to the world will be published and collect as much donations as possible to get my husband and I out of hell." "Hello Bruce and his family, how are you?" "I'm sorry for the late reply, but today my wife and I were able to go out, and we arrived in Deir Al-Balah, thank God, now we are in Martyrs Hospital for Al-Aqsa." US: Do you still have access to a bank if we send money in the next few days? "I can arrive and withdraw the money. I am now in a safe area. Tomorrow I will start looking for the Tawini tent, me and my family." "Thank you very much for what you did for me. I hope to find a place tomorrow for my family to get together again." ------------------ We continue to send them money. There are high fees, but we do know that they can get money to feed their family and help community members. If you have funds, please consider donating to someone, somewhere.
