Hi, this is Abu, um, recording this voice memo from Gaza Strip, uh, specifically Rafah City, uh, in southern Gaza. Uh, where we've been staying for the last, uh, 12 days. Today is day 18 of the war and we're still stranded in Gaza. My wife, myself and our one year old son, Wafa and Yusuf. Um, we've been trying to stay strong but it hasn't been easy. Airstrikes have intensified the last few days and especially last night, um, it's become constant all night for most of the day. Uh, my son was not able to sleep. Yusuf, not until one o'clock in the morning and then he was up again by five o'clock in the morning. We, uh, we've been trying to soothe him as much as we can and keep him shielded from, from the wrath of the war. Um, and, and we'd like to think that we're continuing to do that successfully. Uh, unfortunately, yesterday we ran out of milk for him. We opened the last box and, um, uh, basically tonight we would be, uh, completely out. It would be his first night ever, um, in his entire life to go to sleep without having milk. Um So we're hopeful that that will not be too bad of *** night. Again, the airstrikes have been becoming more frequent and more intense closer to where we are. Uh We're staying in Rafah about 10 minutes away from the borders with Egypt. Uh This way, uh We are prepared for any short notice with the State Department to uh hit towards Rafah crossing where we could cross to Egypt and exit Gaza. Um Time is of, in essence nowadays, uh where I think many followers have seen um the collateral damage that happens such as what happened in the Greek Orthodox church *** few days ago. Um where all it takes is one missile, one airstrike to miss its target or be too close to where you are. Um And that has happened before where we're staying. Um And that would be it and time of an essence, time is of an essence as well because of the ground invasion, uh which is supposed to happen any minute now. And uh we, we cannot even think of uh the destruction that would bring upon us. So we're trying to stay strong. Uh We're trying to manage our supplies as much as possible. Um Basically securing drinking water day to day. Um And uh until we are able to get out uh with help from the State Department. Um And, and we're hopeful that we'll uh live another day uh to see that happen.
