Their story

Iman, 29, raises five family members in Nuseirat: her parents, her two children and a newborn. Her husband works at the port when fishing is permitted. The family's one steady income is her mother's small pension — 600 NIS a month — which no longer covers two weeks of basics. Iman queues at dawn for subsidized bread.

Impact updates

Photos of groceries bought with donations, sent by the family.

  1. Cooking gas refill at the official price — first time since spring. Iman's mother cooked mahshi for everyone.

  2. Vegetables, eggs and a milk tin from the week's donations — the baby's first tin that didn't come from the black market.
