I want you to imagine for a second that you're Nesrine, a mother I met just a few weeks ago in the Gaza Strip.
Your five children are with you.
crying, wet, their feet are caked in mud, they have no shoes.
Your husband was killed a few months ago in a strike and you're seven months pregnant alone, trying to figure out what to do that evening, where you will safely sleep as a family.
And this is an impossible choice that so many parents are facing in Gaza at the moment, because despite the scaled up humanitarian response,
It is just not enough.
It's imperative that the ceasefire is upheld, that children, all civilians are protected and that the aid necessary to pull families like Nesreen from this misery comes into the Gaza Strip at the needed scale.
