No privacy, water or sanitary napkins

Samira al-Saadi, who is displaced with her family in a UN-run school west of Khan Younis, wishes she could do more for her 15-year-old daughter who got her first period a few months ago.
Her daughter is overwhelmed by both recently starting to menstruate and having to manage her period in a crowded shelter, the 55-year-old says. She needs sanitary pads and water to wash, but these basic needs are not available.
Samira is concerned about buying her daughter period-delaying pills as she worries how they might affect her childs health.
She just doesnt understand why she has to go through all of this, Samira says. I try to help her, but what she needs is not at hand.

So very sad indeed...I am appalled by suffering of these children.
