Aaliyah* sits on the remains of a damaged building with her daughter in their neighbourhood in southern Gaza, in October 2024. The mother of six built a temporary shelter opposite her house after it was demolished in airstrikes in February 2024. Her daughter insists on staying near the site of their former home and cries if they venture further out. Aaliyah depends entirely on aid to feed her family as she has been unable to earn an income since October 2023. Every donation you make, no matter the size, will be doubled - helping the DEC provide life-saving aid. https://lnkd.in/e7-2n9U2 For more information on how and where DEC member charities are responding, please visit www.dec.org.uk Photo: DEC/Arete/Abdallah Alsayed
