“We escaped with nothing but the clothes we were wearing. My home is gone, all of it. We need everything, even the basics.”

Mohammad is the father of three daughters living with PKU: Menna (20), Shahd (16), and Donia (12). They recently received fresh fruits and vegetables from our team in Gaza as part of the PKU support program. For children with PKU, nutrition is just as vital as medicine. Without access to their special PKU formula and safe foods, Menna, Shahd, and Donia are experiencing severe weakness, trembling, and loss of balance. Most foods contain ingredients that are harmful to them, putting their health in serious danger.

They survived a bombing. Their five-story home in Gaza’s Sabra neighborhood was completely destroyed in an airstrike. The family was buried under the rubble and pulled out alive, a miracle in itself. But tragedy struck: their eldest son, the family’s only breadwinner, was killed. Several cousins also died, and many more were wounded.

Now displaced in Al-Mawasi, Khan Younis, the family has no tent, no shelter, only a few sheets to shield the girls from the coming rains. Donia still suffers from shrapnel injuries in her hands.

PKU families in Gaza are holding on by a thread. Together, we can provide them with the nutrition they urgently need. Give Now–bit.ly/PKU-parcels
