From Tent Life Springs







Walking through destruction area in Azebit Abed Rabo , we arrived to Mr.Majed Al- atamnaa house. He lives with his family consist of 8 members in simple and small house. His house was destructed by Israeli thanks during the last war on Gaza. and after that he had lived in a refugee camp, So he had suffered in winter when it rained as water comes through the holes inside tent.

Mr. Majed is unemployed since 2000, and the majority of his family are children and students. So his house was nominated to benefit from the project Re-build destructed houses, which implemented by UNRWA aids ,and cost more than 10,000$ . his house was the first house in Gaza which built by mud.

The main goal of the project is providing a suitable shelter for homeless people in this are, and also providing psychosocial and economical support to re-establish a sence of normalcy of the lives of people.

The project helps the family to live under the suitable protection from rain, sun and dangerous animals ."what have they done is improving my life ,right now I felt the benefits of this project when it rained," Said AL-atamnaa.

But the dream is not completed , Mr.Al atamnaa's house need more services and suitable furniture .He lives without children beds, clothes, Laundromat, fridge, blankets and school supplies. So he wishes the project to continue and serve all people in this area.

Mr.Al-atamnaa's case is one of more than 20 homeless families in this refugee who are lives without any basic needs and suitable shelter .So we call upon global public to work for peace and justice in Gaza.
