If you complain about having no power, or even not getting WIFI, here’s something that you can really complain about…

Right now, Israel and Palestine are in a full out war! These war infested countries are shooting missiles and even sending suicide bombers at each other.

Why are they fighting? They have been fighting for decades, for a place called Gaza. Gaza is a small strip on the coast of Palestine.

Fahed-Gaza, Palestine

Fahed  is a man in Gaza, Palestine who is married has two sons and a daughter. He needed a loan to rebuild his house that was destroyed in the last violence that happened, the only thing they could find to have shelter was a small rental home to live in for now.

The battle between Palestine and Israel is terrible. People like Fahed and his family don’t have houses to live in. Many innocent people don’t have anything to do with this battle yet they’re the ones who are taking all the hits. This war has been raging on since 1922 and has caused a lot of problems for both sides of this war.

I hope to find more loans like this in the future because saving a family’s life and building them a new home that’s a great feeling to have. Also, knowing that it makes a great difference in the world.
