Saving my family from genocide
Donation protected
Since the beginning of this genocide, I tried to convince my friend Hatem to leave Gaza and save his family, but love for his country and his people made him look for all possible solutions to stay in Gaza. Documenting the most horrific situations, being targeted multiple times and being displaced from place to place caused him great suffering. Hatem always had a smile on his face and tried to show me that he was fine, but I could see the difference in his mental health and I noticed it's getting worse day by day. The situation in Gaza worsened and he finally admitted that there was no other way to save his family than to leave Gaza. Now after 6 months of being in constant mortal danger, Hatem has finally allowed me to create this gofundme so that he could evacuate his family to egypt. I hope that you all can support him, every amount no matter how small is important.
Hello world My name is Hatem Hani Al-Rawag, a Palestinian displaced from Gaza City to the south of Gaza due to the Israeli genocide on the Gaza Strip. I left with my family, my wife, and my three children (Hani - Sila - Jihad). We had a small, beautiful family home, but due to the intense bombing and ground invasion of the area where I live, the house became uninhabitable after being damaged by the airstrikes. I worked as a photographer and captured the war on Gaza and covered the suffering of civilians there. I witnessed myself very difficult, unbelievable stories and went through very heartbreaking situations where I had to se suffering of children and women killed only because they were Palestinians. I know that my family and I are in danger. Before the war we had big dreams. My hobbies were; swimming in the beautiful Gaza Sea and going out with my young family to the places they loved. My eldest child (Hani) he has light skin and long hair. He is 8 years old. He has dreams beyond his years. He reached the third grade of primary school, but the war destroyed his school, his educational career, and his future. Every day he learns of the news of the martyrdom of one of his friends, classmates, or his father’s friends, and this greatly affected his psychological state. While my daughter (Sila), who is 5 years old, used to go to kindergarten and enjoyed studying there and playing, but since the outbreak of the war, her kindergarten was bombed and
she did not exercise her right to education. However, she experiences what is happening in her surroundings, just people running from one place to another..
My youngest child (Jihad), 4 years old, has not yet realized that what is happening around him is war, but he is very afraid of the sounds of bombing and gunfire, because the shelter center in which my family is located was subjected to gunfire from the Israeli army and severe bombing close to it.
That is why we have to leave the Gaza Strip to preserve our lives and try to restore the dreams and educational future that were destroyed.
We need your support and assistance so that I can evacuate my family and preserve their lives and future
Thank you so much for everything you do for me or my people.
