We need a tent, food, flour drinking water and life supplies

Hello friends, I am Khaled from Gaza. I work as a laborer due to the lack of job opportunities in our country. Unfortunately, I was not able to work with my university degree, and I worked hard to secure a house for my family of 9. Like any young man, I have dreams, ambitions and a desire for a better life, not only for me, but for my family as well. Thank God, I was able to prepare my house for everything I needed, but the Israeli occupation cast a shadow over our hopes and destroyed everything beautiful in my life in this ugly war. Unfortunately, our house was bombed at the beginning of the war. We were living in our house located in the north of the Gaza Strip, then the fighting intensified, so we were forced to move to our relatives’ house in the middle of the Gaza Strip. During the displacement, we were bombed and miraculously survived, thank God. We continued walking for about 8 hours, raising our hands without water or food, until we reached the city of Al-Bureij and stayed in a school affiliated with the Relief Agency, which is a place unfit for human use. We stayed there for about a month and faced great difficulty in obtaining water and food that was not fit for human consumption, but we struggled to survive. Then the school where we were staying was bombed, and we were forced to move again to Khan Younis and settled in Nasser Hospital so that my wife could give birth and continue the pregnancy. During the war, God blessed me with my first child after 18 years of deprivation, then on 2/14/2024, Nasser Hospital and the department we were displaced to were bombed, and I cannot describe to you the horror and fear we experienced that night. The hospital was stormed until we found the occupation soldiers expelling us in the middle of the night to the hospital yard, deliberately humiliating everyone, and there was no difference between a young man, a woman or a child. Even an old man was old and they forced us to leave after three in the morning to get married to the city of Rafah on foot for more than five hours until we reached Rafah, and now we are in a state of hysteria. I live in a tent that can only accommodate five people, and we are more than nine people without any necessities of life, a bed, a blanket or even clothes for my children. I have lived through difficult days for more than 440 days, every minute is equivalent to a year of torment, terror, fear,

humiliation, despair and fear of a dark future. Unfortunately, I cannot describe to you in any language or expression the extent of the suffering that I am living with my family and how many times we have escaped certain death. I appeal to your living consciences to help us escape this hell in which we live. In all its details, I point out to you that we need a tent, food, flour, tarpaulins, cleaning supplies and life necessities. Each person needs $9,000 for an adult and $2,500 for a child. My family consists of 7 adults and 6 children. I do not even have a single dollar of these amounts. This sudden war has caused us to lose all our money in addition to losing the house in which we were raised, knowing that I have children who are no more than ten years old who have experienced life from the horrific war for the fifth time. But there is a glimmer of hope in the midst of this darkness. With your support and generous donations, we can rebuild our lives from the ashes. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a huge impact. Please, I ask you not to back down from our urgent appeal. Your support can make a world of difference in our lives. Let us unite, to show the world the power of compassion and solidarity in times of inhumanity. Together, we can rebuild, restore and shape a future filled with hope and freedom. Finally, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my message and for your continued support in this urgent matter. Help me save my family and provide them with a safe life away from war and death.
