WE DRINK SEA WATER TO SURVIVE 

Our days are spent scavenging for survival. Our nights are filled with hunger and cold. Smoke fills our tent as the fire struggles to keep us warm, and outside, the sound of the sea and bombing is a constant reminder of how fragile their our have become. 

My name is Shafa. I am 70-years-old, and I live in this tent by the sea. Every day, I sit by this fire, boiling sea water because we have no clean water to drink. The wind cuts through our fragile tent, and the rain seeps in. My body is weak from illness, but I have no choice. I must care for my husband and my grandchildren. We were forced to flee from our home several times. War took everything! Our house, our comfort, and our peace. Now, we live with nothing. The children often go to sleep hungry, their eyes filled with questions I cannot answer. But I hold onto hope. I pray that someone will hear our story and help.
