Help the Barakat Family Evacuate Gaza.

I'm raising money for my friend Muhammad Barakat, who desperately needs to evacuate himself and his family from Gaza. Although we only met recently, he has become a dear friend, so I want to do everything I can to help. Previous attempts to raise funds have been taken down, or faced other problems, so we decided to start again.

Here is his story. -

"I am Muhammad, a resident of northern Gaza, and this link is to help us recover what the war took from our homes, lands, clothes, education, and lives.

This is my family, my wife, Mai, my father, my mother, Muhannad, Moamen, and Hala

I am Muhammad, I have been married for two years. I lived in Turkey with my wife from two years until the 5th of the year 2023. We went to Turkey so that my wife could complete her education in nursing, and she recently graduated from it in the month of 1st. I had a stable job as a freelancer and a stable income, and then we decided to visit the family. And settling in Gaza due to the harshness of exile and nostalgia for our family, childhood friends, and relatives, and for my wife to work in her field to serve the people of our country and continue our lives in the warm embrace of our family. After preparing and furnishing our house in the center of Gaza City, which took about two months, we finally settled in our house, and only a few months had passed since the dream had passed. It vanished before our eyes, and now we are from a house with three floors to a room with three families.

My brother Muhannad, in his third year of university, was at the top of his class in the Interior Engineering major at Al-Aqsa University, which had its share of this war in which it became impossible to resume education.

My brother, Moamen Al-Riyadi, is a law graduate from the University of Palestine. He began by obtaining the necessary practicing certificate to complete his educational career and become an official lawyer.

My sister, Hala, is a high school student, meaning the final stage of school, which began at the end of the month of 8 in a school near the house that has become ashes. She has always dreamed of graduating and traveling abroad to study veterinary medicine because of her intense love for animals, to the point of sheltering stray cats and dogs in a family home.

Here we are now, displaced for the third time in Rafah, with no home, no work, no relatives, no friends. They have remained in the remains of their homes in the northern Gaza Strip, where it has become difficult to communicate with them and know their conditions.

Instead of work, study, and normal life, our lives now contain nothing but anxiety, fear, and illness. We lost everything: no identification papers, no educational certificates, no house, no clothes, literally nothing

Help us, even if it is as simple as you can"

This was the Barakat family home before the invasion, and after.
