@thesameerproject: These were families’ homes. After years of displacement and bombardment, these makeshift shelters were where parents put their children to bed and kept what little they had been able to carry with them. Then came the first winter storm. Roofs collapsed under the weight of the rain. Tarps shredded, fabric tore, and families were left exposed to the cold. An estimated 70,000 tents were destroyed over the weekend. There is a long winter ahead. Donate to The Sameer Project’s General Fund to help families in Gaza replace their ruined shelters and have a dry place to sleep, some privacy, and a space that feels like theirs again.
