Heartbreaking

Absolutely devastating. No mother should ever have to make such an impossible choice. The cycle of suffering here is just overwhelming - my heart breaks for these girls.

Destitute from war, a mother in Gaza made a fateful choice and gave her young daughters in marriage

DEIR AL BALAH: Majda was destitute. Her husband and eldest son had been killed by Israeli airstrikes. Living in a ragged tent in Gaza with rats and the stench of sewage, she couldn’t support her children and feared her daughters would be harassed going to the communal latrine in a camp with hundreds of strangers. So she made a decision she now deeply regrets. She married off her 13- and 14-year-old daughters to men who promised safety and support. “I thought I was protecting them,” she said.

No child should face this. It's just one tragedy after another. Ya Rabb, have mercy on them.

And the world stays silent. Ya Rabb, we feel so helpless. These stories never end, and it breaks our hearts every time.
