In a Worn-Out Tent in Gaza: A Quadriplegic Patient and a Blind Father

The Subh family in Gaza lives in a worn-out tent after repeated forced displacement. The father, Hani, lost his sight due to an Israeli strike, and his daughter Nour suffers from quadriplegia without a wheelchair. The family appeals to donor organizations to provide a tent, a wheelchair, and treatment abroad for Hani.

The Subh family lives in a worn-out tent on Yarmouk Street in central Gaza City, after repeated forced displacement from the north to the south and back. They lost all their belongings in Beit Lahia. The father, Hani Subh, lost his vision due to an Israeli strike that targeted his wife's brother's home; dust entered his eyes and his sight deteriorated until he became completely blind seven months ago. He obtained a referral for treatment abroad, but his travel has been delayed for four months with no imminent hope. His daughter Nour (16) has quadriplegia and lives in the tent without a wheelchair or a medical bed, forcing her mother Naama to carry her, which has harmed her health. Their eldest son Fathi is unemployed, and their daughter Yasmine is a widow with an only daughter. The family appeals to donor organizations to provide a tent, a wheelchair, and assistive devices, and hopes for Hani's evacuation for treatment before it is too late.
