Support My Family To Evacuate safely From Gaza

Hello everyone, my name is Hamam Alshanti, my profession is a nurse and I am here to share you my story. I wish I was not in this position; however, my circumstances left me no choice. It all started when the war was waged on Gaza, flipping all our lives upside down, subjecting us to its devastating and long-lasting impacts.

At the onset of the war, I volunteered as a nurse in the ER department in the largest hospital in Gaza city, aiming to provide medical and nursing services to war causalities with love and compassion. I fulfilled my duty & performed all the necessary procedures to help saving the lives of innocent people

The war imposed on Gaza disrupted the purity of peace and left me and my family to suffer its impacts, and while I was working to save lives, I lost contact with my family. The world around me came to a halt, enveloped in darkness, with the fear of losing my family consuming my thoughts. After a few hours, I received news about my family's well-being, for which I thanked God. Sadly, our house was entirely destroyed, and our belongings ruined.

As the ongoing fight approached Gaza City and siege was imposed on Al-Shifa Hospital, we endured deplorable conditions due to severe shortages of food and medical resources. Despite this, we remained steadfast, with no intention of leaving. However, we later received a notification from the occupying army, instructing us to cease providing healthcare and relocate to southern Gaza. I was separated from my family, who stayed in the north, while my mother and I relocated to the south.

Forced to leave, I took my mom and my autistic little brother to the south of Gaza barefoot and without our belongings. Our journey to find accommodations was tough, and ultimately, we lived in a small tent, that does not protect us from the cold of winter, or the heat of summer.

While experiencing such suffering for the first time, I heard the sound of bombs alongside my autistic brother's cries and my mother's attempts to comfort him. Meanwhile, I lost contact with other family members who remained in the north of Gaza. This dilemma pains me and leaves me no choice but to seek your support in evacuating my family safely from Gaza.

In the south, I volunteered at the European Gaza Hospital, never losing my desire to help patients. I continue to do my best to alleviate the suffering of my people in Gaza, especially the displaced ones.

Prior to the war, I had so many dreams and ambitions. These were all taken away from me. And today, I stand before you all here, with one dream. That dream is to be able to rebuild my family home. My family currently lives in a small tent that does not protect from the cold of winter, or the heat of summer. My only dream is for my family and I to be able to have a house to live in again. Alongside my parents, I have 2 sisters, and 3 brothers, one of which has severe autism. Please help us.

Before the war, my dreams and aspirations were abundant, yet they were all mercilessly stripped away. Today, I stand before you with one dream - to ensure the safe evacuation of my family from Gaza and to rebuild our shattered home. My sole wish is for my family and myself to once again have a place to call home. Please help us.
