Hugs from Andes Ecuatorianxs. ---------- Forwarded message --------- De: Ahmed saleh <[email protected]> Date: lun, 7 oct 2024 a las 9:14 Subject: A whole year of death To: <[email protected]>, <[email protected]>, Ecoversities Global Gathering <[email protected]> Dear Ecoversities Friends, Today marks a full year since that tragic humanitarian disaster which began on the fateful 7th of October. A year filled with death, destruction, and displacement. A year that has driven us back to living in tents, enduring the worst of conditions. Even now, we continue to call upon the world with our humanity, which has been crushed under the treads of tanks and the brutal machinery of war. I write to you today with a heavy heart, burdened with immense pain and psychological stress, as I live far from my family while we share a common fate of borders and refuge. My family has been forced to live on the streets for many long months, severely impacting their mental and physical health. During this time, we have lost family members and friends, our home, and our education, leaving us surrounded by the walls of displacement, exile, and mass death. I write these words with a heavy heart, making an urgent plea after we have exhausted all our resources due to continuous displacement and escaping stray bullets. My younger sister suffers from hepatitis, and my other sister is experiencing severe psychological issues that have caused her to lose her physical balance due to loss and harsh circumstances. As for my brother, he recently had a newborn who suffers from low birth weight, and they are also dealing with skin diseases caused by the weather, insects, and the inability to access cleaning supplies. Due to the rains that fell in the past two weeks, our tent was flooded, and many of our belongings were damaged. We are in dire need of a cover to protect the tent from water leakage and to secure healthy and sufficient food for their survival. We are in desperate need of your support and kind hearts, and we still need your prayers and blessings.
