Help me REUNITE with my family.

War Death Destruction Starvation! Despite the fact that these words are tough enough, they can't describe everything that is happening during the 92 ,so far, days of war in Gaza. My name is Ola Masoud and it happened for me to be in Egypt with my husband( Ahmed Masoud) and my three young daughters before the war began. Unfortunately, this is the thing I regret the most. I really hope to be with my family and suffer with them, not worry about them. My oldest brother Mostafa Masoud and his family are trapped in Gaza under the continuous bombing. They have survived several times carrying only their souls, leaving everything they had behind and looking for a safe place. Since the beginning of the war they have gone through different things including:

And the suffering goes on and never ends. The saddest thing is watching them trying to adapt to the miserable situations. They started cooking using fire by burning wood ,which is very expensive and so hard to buy.

This is a picture of the last pieces of wood they have.

The only type of food they have is canned food that comes from the international aid to Gaza (despite its very small amounts). My family hasn't eaten any kind of sweet for three months and more. The markets are empty and the only food available are beans and canned food.

This is a picture of the canned food they have.

My brother Mostafa and his family are 9 members but believe me they aren't just numbers. Two of my niecs (Rajaa and Taghreed) were studying medicine and now their universities are destroyed and their dreams are buried underneath.

This is a picture of the entrance of the med school they used to go to.(before and after).

I also have a 10 year-old niece (Sara) who fears the most. Despite her young age, she had seen things that no one's mind can imagine. I really want to stop their suffering. I don't want to lose anyone in my family. The only way to leave Gaza to a safer place is to cross the borders and to do that you have to pay at least 6000 CAD for each member of my brother's family which is a huge amount of money that we can't manage to pay.

I'm raising this fundraiser to generate 54,000 CAD to pay permits and crossing fees to go to Egypt. I'm not asking for anything more than the money I need to evacuate my family like food expenses or rent when they get to Egypt since their safety is the most important thing. 54,000 is a huge number but I believe that together and hand by hand we can bring my family to a safer place. Please help me evacuate my family and save them.

In the end, I would really like to thank each one of you in advance and I really hope no one will be in my place.

Stay safe and alive.

Love...
