Help me and my family get out of Gaza

Hi, I'm Haya Darwish, 21 years old.

Being the eldest in my family came with lots of taxes to pay off. I always tried to help my family, studied hard enough to attain a scholarship at uni with an average of 98.4% in high school and made them proud. However this is no longer the case since the war started. We have been forced to leave our house many times and lived in the gardens of hospitals for days with no clean water and even a roof to cover us.

We have been depriving the simplest human rights including safety. Me and my siblings have been disadvantaged from our right of education, I only finished 2 years of my dream major (Software Engineering), my sister Noor(19 yo) finished one year of clinical psychology and she hasn’t given up on her dream despite our dire circumstances and is volunteering in the mental health field. My 3 younger brothers can’t complete their school education either because all our schools and universities have been shelled and destroyed.

My father, who is a talented & experienced carpenter, lost his job during the war in other words we lost our main source of income. To make things worst, the northern part of Gaza is being starved, flour is as rare as gold and I can't bear all the physical pain and illnesses like hepatitis and stomach problems and inflammation me and my family are suffering from for months due to malnutrition and dirty water. Specially witnessing my six-year-old-brother suffering from lack of nutritions.

I feel guilty for not being able to help, my resposibilty as the eldest has pushed me to decide leaving. I want to find a way to help my family and I stay alive through those deadly conditions we’re forced into and take them to safe place, where we don't worry about food and water.

This is an urgent call to help me support my family and keep them alive.

Living in Gaza is a miracle with all the danger included, but leaving it is the real miracle I'm wishing.

Please don't let Gaza be the cemetery of our dreams and hopes, yet let it be the end of the misery and frustration.

Your donations would help us cross the borders and start again from scratch building a new life, a life with no war and starvation. The funds will also help us with obtaining food and water supplies as the scarce amount available in Gaza are sold at extremely high prices, an example is 1kg of flour being sold for around 100 euros approximately. We will also use the funds to help us fund accomodation once we enter Egypt and other travel fees for the entire family.

Together we can make things happen, together we can survive.

Organiser: Hi, I'm Husaam and I reside in the UK, this gofundme is being organised on behalf of Haya Darwish and her family of 7 - father (Mohammed), mother (Rana), younger sister (Noor) and 3 younger brothers (Yosef, Khaleel, Hisham). The funds will be transferred to Haya via bank transfer to cover border fees, food and water supplies and accommodation and travel expenses once in Egypt. Thank you and appreciate any support.
