Nehma Hamouda, grandmother of orphaned infant

Nehma Hamouda’s daughter gave birth prematurely after she was shot by Israeli soldiers. That was three months ago. Several weeks later, the new mother died.

Since then, Nehma has been trying to take take of her tiny grandchild, Muntaha. Muntaha can’t yet process solid food, even if there was some. Nehma can’t get baby formula.

“I resort to tea for the girl,” Hamouda said. “She’s not eating, and there’s no sugar. Where can I get her sugar? I give her a bit [of anise], and she drinks a bit.”

“At times, when we get lentil soup from the soup kitchen, I strain the water, and I try to feed her. What can I do?”
