Mahassan Al-Zaneen: 作为一位母亲，我深感绝望。自从2021年丈夫因新冠去世后，我一直努力维持家庭。我们曾有房有工作，生活还算稳定。但现在，我们失去了家园，颠沛流离。为了孩子们，我不得不卖掉母亲给我的金戒指来换取食物，但这仅仅是杯水车薪。我们现在的生活是饥饿的代名词，孩子们每天都在饥饿中醒来和睡去。我们甚至被迫食用树叶来充饥，这听起来很疯狂，但却是我们正在经历的现实。我的女儿们因为营养不良而头晕、昏倒，甚至掉牙。我感到无比的悲伤和失控，饥饿正在吞噬我们的一切。 Rana: 作为家中的大女儿，我亲眼目睹了饥饿对我们家庭的摧残。以前，我还能去拥挤的面包店排队买面包，但现在连面包店都消失了。我记得去年在面包店，我亲眼看到妇女和女孩在人群中被踩踏致死，那时的饥荒已经很可怕了，但现在的情况更加糟糕。我们现在面临的不仅仅是食物短缺，而是彻底的绝望。饥饿正在摧毁我们的家庭，我感到无力和恐惧。
