As you know along time have passed and no one has stoped the war ,we have tried during it to evacuate from Gaza to Egypt but the Egyptian authorities are asking for thousands of dollars which we can't afford for all my family members, also my grandma refuse to evacuate gaza without her daughters and her grandchildren!

"Hi, I'm Youssef from north of Gaza city. I am 11 years old. I have a brother his name is Muhammad, 3 years old, and two sisters, Asmhan, 9 years old, and Juri, 7 years old. I love them all and i'm worry to lose any of them including my mum and dad.

The number of wars i lived is more than my age years that because i lived one in my mom's womb, instead of that I was living a normal kind life in my beautiful home with my beautiful Family!

My school was in front of my house and there was a beautiful garden with playground next to us for my siblings and I to go to, ride my bikes, and play with beautiful toys.

I was very distinguished in my studies with the highest score and I loved my school and my teachers

On October 2023, everything changed. bombing and destruction still everywhere

A house next to us was bombed and we quickly left it without taking any of our belongings and beautiful memories and stuff,

We went to my grandmother’s house in Tal-Al-Hawa area. It was safer at that time. But we only stayed for two days and they threatened to bomb my grandmother’s house and asked us to leave to the south of the Gaza Strip.

We were displaced for the second time and we fled to a refugee shelter in Khan Yunis, where we fell ill with many diseases due to lack of water, food, and lack of hygiene.

We were afflicted with skin, respiratory, and intestinal diseases, and we were very tired, in addition to fear, displacement, bombing, death, and destruction everywhere.

There in Khan Yunis every day we hear new news. Our house was destroyed.. My father’s law office, our source of income, was completely destroyed.. The house of my grandfather, grandmother, uncles and my aunts were destroyed.

The news of the martyrdom of my dear uncle Fathi adwan and my dearest auntie Heyam Adwan, with her amazing four children, my cousins, Huda, Nour, Abdallah and Hamza with her daughter-in-law and her son-in-law, this news was like a thunderbolt for all of us, also i couldn't explain my pain the moment i knew about martyrdom of a group of my friends at school along with their families.. may all their souls rest in peace.

We stayed in Khan Yunis for 4 months... until the day came when the shelter center where we were staying was bombed... and 16 martyrs with number of injured people fell...

I cannot express in words the extent of fear, anxiety, and terror at that moment... after which the refugee center was targeted many times and there were martyrs and wounded as well.

They were all buried inside the center because of the danger outside the center and the positioning of tanks and siege outside

The next day, they asked us to evacuate immediately, on our foot, through the corridor of ''death'' between tanks and soldiers!

We left all our belongings in the shelter center... and we walked through the corridor of death, me, my father, my mother, my brother and my sisters... the bombardment of tanks, planes and warships was all this time in front of our eyes... and for the first time I felt intense fear... in this corridor my sisters and I were lost and we began to cry hard and search for my mother. , we finally met and we were crying hard out of fear and terror

We stopped at a checkpoint and they detained my father there. We continued on the road, me, my mother, and my younger siblings. We walked for 8 continuous hours, fatigue permeating all of my body. .

After 8 hours of continuous walking with fear and terror that we experienced, we saw an old transportation that we call it “donkey carriage.” We boarded it and continued the road to Rafah.

The next day, my father was released. We are now in a refugee camp in Rafah now.

We lost our house, my father's job office , and all our possessions, I feel like I can't concentrate on anything

I want to continue my education in school and I want to feel safe with my family

We hope that the war will end soon. I wish to return to my school, which unfortunately was destroyed by the Israeli army , and return to my old life before the war and my normal life as a human being.

I want to live and learn like the children of the world.. I want a bright future.. I want to become a great doctor.. All my dreams have been destroyed..

I want healthy food, clean water, and a safe clean environment. I only want my basic needs as a human being".

please we urge you to help us to survive what is beyond our words

HELP US RESTORE HOPE & LIFE!
