As temperature rises, life conditions in Gaza worsen. Displaced people have access to less than 1l of water per person per day for drinking, washing & bathing, against the 15l minimum according to @SpherePro Standards. Children pay the highest toll: we need a #CeasefireNow .

Talaat was born amidst war, but his story is one of hope. "I named him Talaat after his grandfather, a field engineer. Maybe he'll become an engineer in the future and help to build #Gaza ," says his mother. Join us wishing Talaat a long life free from wars and a bright future.
