Help Our Family Survive War

I am Nedaa Othman from Gaza. I stand before you. I am the only person who is maintaining my family. It consists of 4 people. We are trying to live in extremely difficult and miserable conditions in tents in the Mawasi area of ​​Khan Yunis. It is difficult for me to describe the painful and very difficult life we ​​are going through. I cannot live with it. Every day we face difficulty in obtaining water, even though it is polluted and not suitable for drinking, but this is what is available. No food, no medicine, psychological pressures, sadness and tragedy when I look at the faces of my children as they try to provide water for themselves. I am overwhelmed by the loss of loved ones. Because of the pressure, sadness and grief, we say that death is more merciful than this life.

Because of the war, I lost my home and my laptop, which was used for all my work and work. Now I am going through a very difficult situation and I ask for your help to save my family and get us out of this difficult and sad situation. Life in Gaza has become unbearable. Hunger, displacement, slow death, the spread of diseases and epidemics, continuous bombing, sudden death, loss of loved ones. Since October 7, my children and I have been displaced from our home and we have not taken anything. We have been displaced four times. We are currently living in a tent in Mawasi, Khan Yunis, with my family. The tent is made of thin cloth and is unbearable during the day due to the high temperature. Our faces have unfortunately been affected by the intense heat in the tent. Unfortunately, our conditions are very bad. We face a problem with the toilets between the tents and they are not clean. There is only one toilet for ten tents and we stand in line until we pass the toilet. For this reason, my children have contracted hepatitis as a result of the widespread pollution and lack of cleanliness. We are tired and we are in this situation every day. We also eat canned food because it is available and my children cry because they do not want it because it is not tasty. In short, we do not have the basics of life. We have gone through very terrifying months. God saved us from death. Months that were literally hell. Despite that, the war continues, the tragedy continues, and our lives are constantly at risk. We have lost everything, even hope in Gaza. Even if the war stops, Gaza is no longer fit for living. There are no homes, hospitals, or schools. Total destruction that cannot be repaired.

In order to leave Gaza to cross the road from Rafah to Egypt, we need huge amounts of money, and unfortunately, it is not available.

Egyptians ask everyone for about $5,000 and above just to enter Gaza.

Our names are not registered unless they can prove that we have enough ready money for my entire family.

Unfortunately, my house was destroyed and I could not see it because I was in a besieged area that I could not leave. The Israeli army was besieging us and we were in danger. However, I asked a neighbor of mine who is far away from me to take a picture of my house because of how much I miss it, am attached to it, and am upset and sad. It was a simple video and simple pictures. She told me it is better not to watch it so that I do not get shocked and have a stroke.

I had a house that sheltered us and we have beautiful memories in it.

Every day, my daughter Dyala reviews her memories and cries and says to me, “Why didn’t you take my toys and belongings when we were displaced? I want my beautiful room.” I am patient in it and tell her, “God will compensate us with something better, my little girl, don’t be sad.”

I hope Please help us and my children to get us out of this genocide that has not stopped. Please ease our suffering and support us by sharing my story with your family and friends. We will be forever grateful for your kind help in these difficult circumstances.
