Help me to evacuate gaza and continue my education
Donation protected
Hello my name is Mohammed, I am a Palestinian from Gaza, I am writing this to depict the current situation in Gaza through my eyes. I personally experienced the fear and terror of wars living here, and I can't even explain how terrifying and dangerous it is for us to live through this experience when we are supposed to live a normal life like everyone else. I live in Gaza under rockets, bombing and air strikes. We had to evacuate due to the extremely painful conditions of bombing and gunfire. The constant threat of bombs and violence made it impossible for us to stay, we needed to look for a refugee elsewhere. We are now seeking shelter in a small dye under appalling living conditions full of hunger, extreme cold and health related diseases, with no access to anything but uncontaminated water that can be life threatening with weakened immune systems. I had a wonderful life with my family and friends, and I lost my education which I was supposed to graduate this year but unfortunately in Gaza, the birthplace of my dreams and my art, the landscape has been permanently changed due to the war. This war has taken so much more from us, and has robbed us of dear friends. Each loss took a toll on my soul, as the future I had imagined for us gradually faded away in these turbulent times.
My family and I witnessed the most difficult and largest massacre by Abu Mazen in Gaza at the beginning of the war, which caused them to move to at least 7 areas in search of safety. We left our house without any clothes or food. Just a small bag containing some summer clothes.
As a result of the devastation, we find ourselves without shelter, without basic necessities, and without a source of income to rebuild our lives. The situation is dire, and we are in urgent need of assistance to ensure our safety and well-being.
Life became a struggle for survival, and our beautiful happy life turned into the pursuit of basic necessities such as obtaining water, food, and collecting wood. We are now in urgent need of immediate financial assistance to cover the basic issues:
1. Personal Expenses: Currently without jobs, we struggle to cover our daily personal expenses (necessary food and drinks).
2. Clothes and bedding: After leaving everything behind during displacement, we urgently need money to buy clothes and bedding.
3. Transit costs: We must travel to Egypt and stay for a short time until the visa is issued. We need financial support to cross from Gaza to the Rafah border, which currently costs $5,000 per person.
4. Short-term accommodation: Renting an apartment in Egypt for a short period is crucial until the Kuwait visa is issued and we can travel.
The total cost of requirements is 50 thousand US dollars.
We are seeking not only donations but also to connect with the hearts and souls that stand with us in our most dangerous hours. Our resources are dwindling daily, and the war in Gaza is only expanding its scope, bringing the shadow of death closer than ever. Necessities like clean water and food are now luxuries we can barely afford. In these difficult times, your contribution becomes more than just a help; It is becoming a beacon of hope.
Every donation, no matter how small, will make a huge difference in helping us get across the Egyptian border, and restore stability to our lives. Your support will not only help us recover from this tragedy, but will also provide us with the hope and strength we need to move forward.
We are extremely grateful for any assistance you can provide, and thank you from the bottom of our hearts for considering our appeal for support during this difficult time.
With deepest gratitude.
Thank you for your time and support.
