Help me and my family to evacuate from Gaza Strip

My name is Eyad Alanqar, and I am 36 years old. I have been married to Amal Mahmoud for thirteen years, and we have four children: Sami (11 years), Mohammad (9 years), Sarah (7 years), and Saad (5 years ). We are from Palestine, specifically the Gaza Strip, which has been under siege for more than eighteen years.

We lived a simple life, barely meeting our basic needs. Despite the difficulties, we felt content and happy being together as a family. On October 7th, a new war broke out, turning our already hard life into an unending nightmare.

On the first day of the war, Israeli airstrikes hit our home, killing two of my brothers and injuring the rest of the family, including my younger brother. There were no hospitals in northern Gaza capable of treating the injured due to the situation, so I carried him and went to the southern part of the strip seeking treatment.

But fate was cruel; the roads back were closed, leaving me trapped in the south while my wife and children remained in the north. Since that moment, I haven't seen them for more than eight months. My wife and children now live in a displacement school in the Zaytoun area, while I live in a tent in the Deir al-Balah area.

During this period, the situation has worsened. Continuous bombings, food and water shortages, and the lack of safety have made our lives a continuous nightmare. My children suffer from hunger and fear, and my wife is doing her best to keep them safe. As for me, I feel helpless and mentally pressured for not being able to protect and support them.

I appeal to anyone who reads my story. I ask you to look at us with compassion and help us collect even a little money so that we can leave this hell. I want to find a safe place where we can live in peace, where we do not fear bombings, and can meet our basic needs. I want my children to live a dignified life, to receive education and healthcare, and to feel safe.

Help me achieve this dream, so we can live in peace, away from these wars and destruction.

I hope my story resonates with those who read it and that it finds compassionate hearts willing to help us in this ordeal.
