"Help Omar and Sarah: Leaving Gaza for Fertility Treatment"

Hello, my name is Omar I am 36

years old, from gaza stirp married to Sarah, 25 years old.

We have been married for 6 years and have had three children. Unfortunately, they did not survive due to the lack of adequate medical expertise in detecting genetic diseases in the Gaza Strip, where they faced very complex health issues.

Our first child, whom we named Haneen, was not meant to come into this world. A fetal condition was unexpectedly discovered during the seventh month of pregnancy, leading to her miscarriage under the supervision of a doctor without knowing the main reasons behind it.

Our second child, Shihab, was born naturally and seemed healthy until he was 7 months old when he fell seriously ill. Despite all necessary medical procedures and consultations with various specialists in Gaza, his illness couldn't be diagnosed. He then developed severe respiratory distress and oxygen deficiency, leading to a tracheostomy. He was kept in the intensive care unit on ventilators and tragically passed away at the age of 10 months during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our third child, named Sanad, was born a few months after his brother's death. At 7 months old, he started showing symptoms similar to those of his brother. This raised suspicions of a mysterious explanation for what happened to both children. Despite thorough medical examinations and consultations with specialists, his condition worsened rapidly, leading to his transfer to the Charitable Institutions Hospital in Jerusalem After genetic testing, it was revealed that he suffered from a rare genetic disease called Brown-Vialetto-Van Laere syndrome (BVVL). This syndrome is characterized by progressive pontobulbar palsy associated with sensorineural deafness. Unfortunately, there is no specific treatment for BVVL

Unfortunately, Sanad died when he was one year old while on ventilators

Adding to our struggles, due to the war, we were forcibly displaced from our home to another location and then moved to a shelter center. The spread of diseases and epidemics in the shelter forced us to find another place we hoped would be safer. This situation caused my wife and me immense fear and terror. The lack of security and safety in Gaza has led to severe psychological issues, including terrible nightmares, extreme anxiety, and excessive irritability. Our home also suffered severe damage, making it uninhabitable due to the war and its proximity to the border with Israel. Due to the war, we were displaced to the safer areas in Mawasi, seeking safety. Additionally, we suffer from psychological and health problems due to food and air pollution.

Furthermore, genetic analysis showed that conceiving naturally would not be possible without consulting specialists in the field of genetic diseases, a medical procedure not available in the Gaza Strip.

Genetic modification is an advanced medical procedure intended to enhance fertility in individuals facing reproductive challenges. The costs of this procedure vary greatly depending on geographic location, medical facilities, and technology used.

Estimated Costs:

Exiting Gaza: $5,000 per person :-$10,000 total.

Consultation and evaluation costs: $4,000.

Treatment costs: $25,000.

Post-procedure medical monitoring costs: $3,500.

Housing and living costs: $5,000.

Additional costs: $2,500.

These costs were estimated by inquiring from more than one hospital or people who suffered from the same condition.
