Donation protected
Hello, my name is Kalai and I am raising funds to help this family escape the horrors of the ongoing bombing, starvation, and collective punishment of the innocent people in Palestine. Please note that $70,000 AUD is the equivalent of $44,000 USD. This is to evacuate 8 family members. This is Ahmed's story:

Hello, My name is Ahmed Alshanti Senior Graphic Designer and Financial Manager Previously before the war. from Gaza. Let me tell you a little bit about the situation in Gaza, our whole life changed after the 7th of October, we have displaced several times, the entire neighborhood is destroyed, we didn't even recognize that it was our neighborhood from the huge damage.

We evacuated to the south as the occupation ordered, but there's nothing called safe place now, the occupation bomb any place, we now live in a small tent and sleep on the floor, I cry everyday from my backpain, my whole body is bit from ants. we also got lice from the poor hygiene that we live in and because we don't have the luxury of shower, if you are lucky you can have a shower once per month

I used to love winter, but now I realized how bad winter could be. My Brother Abdelrahman he is 10 years old wake up every day from the cold, and the sad thing is that we are also like him, shivering from the cold, but we cannot do anything because we don't have enough blankets to cover our bodies. We lack of the basic human needs, no food no electricity no water, We were poisoned and infected with cholera because of the unhealthy water that we drink.

My Fathar and Mother lost 25 kilos of her weight because of the lack of money and food that we are suffering from, she always says "the most important thing is we still alive". please help us to stay alive and donate for us. As you see in those pictures this is what left from my home. we went into debt to build this house, which was destroyed in an instant, It cost us more than $250,000 to build the house and it was suddenly destroyed.

My brother Muhammad was injured in the war and his situation is difficult now.

My father suffers from arthritis, which is a chronic disease, and he cannot move properly. My father wakes up every day from 6 a.m. and stands in line for 6 or 7 hours to buy us bread, and we eat once a day so we provide bread for more days, and bread now is the main food and the only thing that makes us feel full. Because of the weak network and communications and the lack of electricity now and therefore the difficulty of charging mobile phones, I am terrified every time he goes, because I can't find a way to call him. He suffers from swelling of the lower limbs and suffers from chronic limb disease and cannot move much because of this disease with no hospitals or doctors to tell us what is happening, and it needs laboratory investigations so that we can figure out the cause of this swelling.

Now let me tell you about the place we displaced into, we live in a tent that is not suitable for human life, devoid of sewage, devoid of healthy water, and garbage and diseases spread throughout the place. We sleep nearly 40 people next to each others because there's no enough space. As you see the roof is full of holes and We all get wet and we don't sleep when it rains.

This picture shows you what the toilet looks like now, in the absence of cleanliness and water. My younger sister, Marah suffers from constipation for a month now due to crowding in the toilet. To enter the toilet, you need to wait for your turn, which comes once during the day, with dozens of people behind you waiting for you to come out. Thus, you only have one or two minutes at most to enter the bathroom, and this prevents my sister from defecating. and there's no hospitals, so we are terrified that she will be poisoned.

We wash our clothes with only minimal amount of dirty water because soap and detergents are very expansive now.
eveything is expensive in a crazy way, and it's a miracle now if you find a flour to make bread.

Please stand with Palestine and stand with us.
also i need 5000$ for every person of my family.
