Two brothers are risking their lives to protect a cat shelter in northern Gaza City | @AnimalFriendsAF Tamer Skaik, 37, and 36-year-old Samer Skaik have refused to abandon their cats and move south following a warning from Israel to evacuate the area late last week. "[I want to make a] pledge in front of the whole world to stay with our cats and to continue taking care of them, and either we all live or our fate is death," the brothers told 10 News First. With no reprieve in sight, the Animal Friends Shelter in Gaza is struggling to cope as Israel ramps up its offensive against Hamas.

🫂🤍🙏No words can describe the mix of tiny spark of hope and soul-crushing terror we feel when your kindness somehow still reaches us, even as the worldwide money meltdown clamps down harder than ever. Your endless giving shines like a miracle of real humanity we’re desperately clinging to in the chaos. Here, the weight is suffocating us more each day, prices exploding out of control, supplies vanishing into thin air. Your help is the only razor-thin lifeline stopping our entire world from total collapse. We’ve hit the absolute breaking point. Your donations are the ONLY reason our little ones stay fed and our saved kittens get the care they need to survive another day. Without it, the road ahead is pure agony and heartbreak we can’t even bear to imagine. We’re begging you, don’t walk away now. Because of you, we’re somehow still fighting through this living nightmare. 🙏💔🆘 ‼️ Life-Changing Fund for "AFS" Fluffballs & our children: t.co/dzmACWl78i ‼️PayPal in bio #AnimalHelp #PetSupport #AidTheFurbabies

We are the AFS Families and Furs lives bound together by loss, hunger, and the quiet fight to survive in Gaza. Once, our homes were filled with laughter, work, and the purring of our cats resting safely in our arms. Now, silence fills the air, a silence broken only by the cries of children asking for food, and the soft, trembling meows of our furbabies searching for warmth. Sadly, we have nothing left to give them but love, and even love feels small when stomachs are empty and nights are cold. We have lost homes, jobs, and hope, yet we refuse to lose compassion, we share the little we have with our loved furs, but we cannot continue alone. Please, help us keep AFS Families and Furs alive, so that neither the human nor the animal heart has to face another night of hunger and fear alone 🐾👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🕊 ‼️ GoFundMe link for AFS families: gofund.me/90e5d059 ‼️ GoFundMe link for AFS furs: gofund.me/95cc0af2 ‼️ PayPal link is mentioned in our bio.

There is no longer a sense of “later” here, because everything is collapsing into urgency at once. Supplies are vanishing from the markets faster than we can reach them, prices have become brutally unbearable, and even the simplest necessities are turning into luxuries we can no longer secure. Every day feels like watching survival slowly slip through our hands while we stand helpless against shortages, fear, and exhaustion that never truly ends. The most painful part is not only our own suffering, but the terror of failing those who depend on us, our families who are already worn down by endless hardship, and our rescued cats who wait every day for food with innocent eyes that cannot understand why hunger keeps growing around them. We are trying with everything left in us to hold on and protect them, but the weight of these days is becoming crushing beyond words. If you are reading this, please know that your support right now is not something small or symbolic, it can truly mean the difference between being able to provide food and essentials for another day or having nothing left to give. Even the smallest kindness can help us keep going through this nightmare and remind us that we have not been completely abandoned in the middle of all this pain 🙏🐾🇵🇸 ‼️ GoFundMe for AFS Families gofund.me/90e5d059 ‼️ GoFundMe for AFS Furs gofund.me/95cc0af2 ‼️ PayPal link is in our bio

Have you forgotten us, dear kind souls, or has the silence around Gaza made it seem as if our suffering has ended? We are still here, trying to survive each day under fear, exhaustion, and unbearable pressure, holding onto hope only through the kindness of people like you. Your mercy was always our only safe haven. Your support was the lifeboat that kept our children, our families, and our rescued cats alive through hell. But now, in the middle of this nightmare, we feel painfully abandoned, carrying unbearable fear, exhaustion, and heavy responsibilities that crush our spirits every single day. The situation here has become truly terrifying. Prices of all basic necessities have skyrocketed dramatically, while news and rumors of the war returning very soon are spreading everywhere. People are rushing to stock up in panic, but we couldn’t save enough. We have almost nothing stored for our families or our cats to face what’s coming. Our small reserves are running out fast, and we have no money left to buy more before everything becomes even more expensive and scarce. We are holding on as best as we can, but the weight of this situation is becoming too much to carry alone. Please stand with us again and help us protect our families and our rescued cats before things get worse. ‼️GoFundMe for AFS Families: gofund.me/90e5d059 ‼️GoFundMe for AFS Furs: gofund.me/95cc0af2 ‼️PayPal link is in our bio.

The situation in Gaza is becoming more heartbreaking and unbearable every single day. After the decision to reduce the entry of aid and goods, prices have risen to painful levels, and even the simplest necessities are slowly disappearing from the markets. At the same time, the growing threats of war returning again have pushed people into panic-buying and hoarding whatever they can find, causing many essential items to run out completely. With donations becoming fewer and fewer, we were forced to start using a large part of the small stock we had been desperately trying to protect for our families and our cats, knowing that once it is gone, we may have nothing left. The unbearable hot weather is making everything even harder, increasing the desperate need for clean water, hygiene supplies, and basic cleaning products, especially as insects, rats, and mosquitoes spread everywhere around us. Our families and cats are exhausted, and every day feels like a battle against fear, hunger, and uncertainty. Please do not leave us alone during this nightmare. Your support could help us survive and protect innocent lives that have already suffered far more than they can endure. 🙏🐾 ‼️GoFundMe for AFS Families: gofund.me/90e5d059 ‼️GoFundMe for AFS Furs: gofund.me/95cc0af2 ‼️PayPal link is mentioned in our bio.

Today, May 11, 2026, we officially started using the very last amounts of food we still have for our cats. The small stock we struggled to protect for so long is now almost gone, and the fear of running out completely is becoming real. Please, do not let our cats face hunger again. They depend entirely on us, and we are doing everything we can to keep feeding them despite the unbearable situation around us, please do something 🙏🐾. ‼️ Support AFS Furs gofund.me/95cc0af2

There is nothing harder than looking at our cats and knowing they are hungry while we have almost nothing left to offer them. Every day, they gather around us waiting for food, and every day the fear grows stronger that we may not be able to provide enough. Their quiet cries, weak bodies, and constant search for something to eat have become part of our daily heartbreak. But the suffering does not stop there. Our families are struggling through the same nightmare. Food prices are rising endlessly, supplies are disappearing, and basic needs are becoming impossible to afford. We are trying to survive day by day while carrying the responsibility of both our families and our cats, who depend on us completely. The emotional weight of this life is crushing. Imagine waking up every morning already worried about hunger before the day even begins. Imagine trying to comfort children and feed your cats while you yourself are exhausted, anxious, and overwhelmed by uncertainty. This is the reality we are living every single day. We are asking for help because we cannot continue alone. Your support can provide food, care, and relief for families and our cats during one of the hardest periods of our lives. Even a small donation can help protect innocent lives from more suffering and hunger. Please stand beside us and help us hold on 🙏🐾🐱👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 ‼️GoFundMe for AFS Families: gofund.me/90e5d059 ‼️GoFundMe for AFS Furs: gofund.me/95cc0af2 ‼️PayPal link is mentioned in our bio.

Every morning, we wake up with the fear that the little we can still find today may disappear tomorrow, as markets grow emptier day after day and prices rise beyond anything we can manage, turning even the most basic necessities into things we can barely afford anymore. At the same time, the fear of war is surrounding us once again Airstrikes and destruction returning to many areas and leaving families terrified of what the coming days may bring, while people rush to secure food and supplies before they vanish completely, something we simply do not have the financial ability to do 😢😿. In the middle of all this, our families and rescued cats still depend on us completely for survival. These innocent souls are already exhausted from hunger, fear, and living in unsafe conditions surrounded by insects, rodents, and constant dangers spreading around us every day. We are not asking for luxury or comfort, only the ability to provide basic needs, food, clean water, and a safer place for our families and cats to survive through these terrifying days. We are trying with everything we have to continue, but each day feels heavier than the one before. Please, your support helps us provide food, basic care, and safety for vulnerable lives that have no one else to depend on, and even the smallest kindness can make a real difference for us right now 🙏🐾🇵🇸 ‼️ Support AFS Furs gofund.me/95cc0af2 ‼️ Support Our Families gofund.me/90e5d059 ‼️ PayPal link in bio

We are left watching everything vanish around us, unable to protect our families or even the small cats who depend on us for survival. It feels like the same nightmare is returning, but heavier and with less chance to cope. Please, if you can feel the urgency of this moment, do not leave us alone.

We are reaching out with heavy hearts because the nightmare of war is beginning to return once again. Every day now brings more airstrikes, more destruction, and more fear for what may happen next. The sound of bombing is becoming part of daily life again, while panic spreads everywhere as people rush to buy and store whatever supplies they can before they disappear completely. Markets are already becoming emptier, basic goods are vanishing quickly, and prices are rising beyond anything we can manage. We do not have the financial ability to stock up like others can, nor can we even secure enough for the daily needs of our own families and the cats who depend entirely on us to survive. Every day, it becomes harder to find food, essentials, and safety, while fear grows that the coming days may be even worse. We are doing everything we can to hold on and continue caring for our families and rescued cats, but the truth is that we are overwhelmed and terrified. If you are able to help us in any way, please do not wait. Your support right now could help us secure food and basic necessities before they disappear completely, and give us a small chance to survive what may be coming 🙏🐾🇵🇸 ‼️ GoFundMe link for AFS families: gofund.me/90e5d059 ‼️ GoFundMe link for AFS furs: gofund.me/95cc0af2 ‼️ PayPal link is mentioned in our bio.
