UPDATE: This was fund was initially created for Khawla, whose story is written further below, but has been updated to include her brother, Khalil, the youngest of the family and the only one born during the genocide. Unfortunately, Khalil suffered from a growth in his skull since he was a baby, and his parents had hoped that it was benign. After consulting with numerous doctors and undergoing tests and scans, they have been informed that he will be in need of surgery as the tumour is connected to his brain. This fund is set up to help the Al-Muranekh family with their medical woes. The following is the initial message of the fundraiser, detailing Khawla's plight:

Khawla is a sweet child who has lived a third of her life under genocide. Her family has undergone unspeakable horrors, having their homes destroyed, their father grievously injured, and being forced to evacuate multiple times and live on the streets. Only yesterday they were forced to evacuate again. A few months ago, Khawla was seriously wounded by a bomb dropped on the tents of the displaced, along with her siblings, Razan and Maria, who also sustained injuries. Her injury has left her with terrible scars and a disability: she can no longer walk properly and is no longer the happy child she once was. Medical documentation is available in the photos attached to this campaign.

Khawla's parents want her to have a chance at life. They want her to receive treatment abroad as the health system in Gaza has been decimated by the occupation's policy of eliminating Palestinian society by rendering life impossible.

Please help Khawla and Khalil get the treatment they need and deserve.
