Fund Ola Abu Zaiter's Family's Evacuation

please help Ola and her family evacuate Rafah and seek refuge in Egypt..this is Mustafa, Ola’s son narrating their story.

Hello, I am Mustafa Suhail, an 18-years- old. I was born and raised in Gaza, that small town once bustling with life and hope. I always looked forward with optimism and confidence that life would be good. My dreams shimmered like stars in the sky, and I was close to my biggest dream of completing high school and going to university to study Mechatronics Engineering. I saw this field as an opportunity to build a successful and bright future, and these dreams filled my heart with happiness and optimism.

My family, consisting of my father, mother, and four sisters, lived in security and stability. I and my sisters went every day to school to receive our education, and my parents worked daily to provide for all our needs, and to build the dream house where they invested everything in it.

Until the morning of Saturday, October 7th of last year, when I woke up as usual, dressed for school where I had a biology exam. But the drums of war sounded before the school bell, and everything turned upside down. Instead of security and stability, I found myself trapped in the heart of conflict and destruction. My dreams shattered and my hopes evaporated, as if life took everything from me.

Imagine for a moment; you wake up in the morning to the sound of massive and terrifying explosions that destroyed our home over our heads. Miraculously, my family and I survived. forcing us to flee from our destroyed home to my grandfather's house. We endured there for days, facing death multiple times

Then, we were displaced from northern Gaza to Rafah in the south, seeking safety. We spent about eight months in the southern sector without any purpose, without education, without food, without water, without cooking gas, without electricity, without the bare necessities of life. At a time when I was supposed to be focused on my studies and preparing for high school exams to pursue my dream of studying Mechatronics Engineering, my daily routine became searching for water and gathering firewood to prepare a little food just to survive, and looking for someone with solar panels to charge our phones to communicate with relatives and check on them.

That not all thing, A week ago, we displaced again to the Mawasi area. We now live in a simple tent that doesn't protect from cold or heat, with a dirt floor, in a chaotic place. Life here lacks the most basic living conditions; the water is contaminated, the food is unhealthy, and insects, garbage, and sewage are everywhere, in an environment rife with diseases and epidemics. Despite all this, the area is unsafe, and fear accompanies us every night.

We gather in the tent, trying to feel safe while terror creeps into our hearts with every explosion outside.

My family and I have suffered greatly during this period. We lost many relatives and friends, and even my parents lost their jobs. We no longer have money to buy basic necessities due to their high prices and scarcity. We left behind our new home, which we had been counting the hours to move into, and our beautiful car, destroyed by continuous bombing.

We still face significant challenges we never imagined. The war has been harsh on all of us, with unforgettable nights where I sat with my family in the dark, the sound of shells echoing everywhere. With each explosion, I feared for my life and the lives of my family. Pain and loss were undeniable, as Gaza is no longer livable. Destruction is everywhere, in civilian homes, public and government facilities, hospitals, and even schools. My school, once a place of learning, now lies in ruins. With no means to rebuild or escape.

we turn to the generosity of humanity for help ..

I appeal to your compassionate hearts to lend a helping hand. Your support can help my family and me leave Gaza for a safer environment where we can rebuild our lives and continue our education. The journey to safety comes with a cost, and each donation, no matter how small, brings us closer to realizing our dreams.

We are in desperate need of hope and the chance to smile again. Your contribution could be the ray of light that guides us towards rebuilding our lives, completing our education, and restoring the happiness that war has stolen from us. Thank you for considering our plea and for standing with us in this difficult time. For considering our plea and for standing with us in this difficult time.
