Yesterday, one of the younger electricians was telling me about the beauty of the new alarm systems he installs. While acknowledging the quality of my current one, he said, "It uses a SIM card and calls you. The new ones are 4G or Wi-Fi and use the cloud, so notifications go straight to your smartphone, it's not calling anymore."

I asked him, "And what if the cloud stops working? Why should I have to depend on the company’s cloud to receive alerts from my alarm? My alarm is 10 years old and works perfectly. Can you say with certainty that the company’s cloud will still be effective 10 years from now?"

He looked puzzled for a moment, then admitted he had never thought about it.

The real problem is that people do not realize what this means until things actually happen.

We are living in harsh conditions inside tents. The sun is unbearable, turning the tents into ovens during the day, and flies fill the place with no way to protect food or find comfort or hygiene. Displacement has left us with nothing but worn-out tents and memories of lost homes.
Help us and share our post—perhaps our voice will reach someone who can ease our suffering and bring us some hope for a better life.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts 🤍

But the painful truth… we are still suffering.
Fleas are eating away at our bodies, my children cannot sleep, and I am helpless to protect them 💔
The medicine was not enough… and the pain continues every night.

This is a cry for help 🆘
Please support us before this suffering breaks us completely…
