  • Hi everyone, I hope this message finds you in a moment of peace and well-being. I write to you after a lot of thought and hesitation, but my hope to save my family's life gave me the courage to ask you for urgent help in evacuating my family from Gaza to a safe place. We were displaced from our home in Gaza to the southern regions under inhumane conditions. My Siblings, all my family members and I had many ambitions and dreams. My family consists of 6membres each had our own story , My father, who lost his source of livelihood because his office, which was located under our house, was completely destroyed. ‎‏My mother, who suffered repeatedly throughout the war due to the lack of electricity , lack of bakeries and gas necessary for cooking. ‎‏My sister, Aya, is a law graduate who lost her office ‎‏My sister, Israa, is a journalism and media graduate. She lost her job due to the brutal war. ‎‏My brother Yousef is a medical student in his final year. He was supposed to graduate, but because of the brutal war, he was prevented from completing his educational career and becoming a doctor. ‎‏My sister Sarah is a medical student who is supposed to be in the second year of university, but she was deprived of her studies 6 months ago and the university was destroyed. ‎‏We are all an educated family that has lost its dreams and ambitions, We are a civilian family that does not belong to any organization, but this war targeted all groups. We lost our home, our memories 25 years ago, our car, and all our‏ possessions ‎‏We could not stay in Gaza. We left the north forcibly, on foot, in the corridor that they claim is a safe passage, on November 8. ‎‏Until this moment, we are in the south of the Gaza Strip and we are exposed to all kinds of fear, panic, lack of peace and security, and lack of basic life requirements, We lasted for more than 6 months and days of our lives passed to no avail We suffer from illness, influenza and infectious diseases due to cold, lack of clothing,too many people life with us,and contaminated food and water. Drinking pure water has become a dream for us. We have been drinking polluted water since the beginning of the war. It is polluted, but we work hard to get it and it has caused us many diseases. My sister suffered from a stomach bacteria because of it. We have not eaten delicious food since the beginning of the war. All the food we eat is over the fire. My mother started suffering from a chest attack from the smell of fire and firewood. There are no basic necessities for life. We now live with a large number of people in an unqualified and small place, The war destroyed our bodies. We make bread and wash our clothes by hand. We have not seen electricity for more than 6 months. ‎‏we have lost those dear to us, and we have lost many of our possessions in this war. We were patient and endured in the hope of returning and repairing what was spoiled, but unfortunately the war continues and has not stopped, and even if it stops, we need a lot of time to fix what was spoiled, Evacuating my family to Egypt is the only way I can ensure their safety, but it's nearly impossible without paying a big chunk of money for the border officials at the Egyptian borders, which can cost up to 7000 dollars per individual (total42$). ‎‏Your help and donations will give us hope throughout the dark times we are living through. ‎‏The money we collect will be allocated to cover the expensive travel expenses of my family members, and provide them with temporary shelter. ‎‏,and now we have no choice but to try Exiting the Gaza Strip to rebuild our lives and continue our studies, and then return to Gaza if complete calm returns to the area Thope you to not blame us, the harm has become severe for us ‎‏With your support, you can take us to safety. ‎‏Thank you for your understanding
