Help me escape the war and save my dreams

 I am Rawan ahmed, a Palestinian girl from Gaza

lam 23years old.

I was born into a large family , a family filled with love, affection, happiness, and dreams. We lived in a warm and happy house, and there was reassurance and peace throughout the city. We used to go out together and love life together, being happy, working together, staying up at night, but suddenly war came and everything became... Ashes, the house, the memories, and the warmth. We no longer have anything. We have lost everything. There is no happiness anymore, everything has become sad, because of the destruction and genocide caused by the occupation. Warmth has disappeared, tranquility has disappeared, happy life has disappeared, and fear, sadness and destruction have spread everywhere .

 I am a student who graduated from Al-Aqsa University with a high average. I graduated four days before the war. I intended to apply for a master’s degree, but the war came and I lost all my dreams and ambitions. My university was destroyed and all my memories and dreams were destroyed with it. 

I used to work as a mathematics teacher in a center full of students and dreams, but it was completely destroyed. I had no students, no work, or anything left. They did not destroy the places, they destroyed our dreams, our memories, and everything beautiful. We are destroyed, and our psychology is tired of destruction and fear of loss.

I have a sister. A twin named Razan is studying medicine in her fourth year at Al-Azhar University, which was completely destroyed, and now she cannot complete her dream of becoming a doctor, as she has two years left until she graduates. 

  and I have a sister, Rahaf, who finished two years at Al-Aqsa University, specializing in engineering, and now she is unable to complete her education and achieve her dream of becoming a software engineer, working in companies and developing her skills.

 I am now writing my story under bombardment and destruction. 

Our house was bombed and destroyed, and we now have no place to sleep and feel reassured. Now we sleep in tents on the street in the rain and in the bitter cold, where there is no safety, no warmth, and none of the basics of life.

My mother is a hypertension patient and an asthma patient who needs treatment, but she does not have one, and the smoke rising from the fire is affecting her negatively, and I am very afraid for her.

My grandmother must be taken out of Gaza quickly because she suffers from heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure. She must be taken care of and given medical examinations, but all of this is not available, which has led to a deterioration in her health condition. Due to the lack of treatment, as the occupation prevents the entry of medicines we are very afraid for her

Now my only dream and wish is for me and my family to leave Gaza safely. We are a large family, numbering 11 members. We are 7 girls, a boy, a mother,grand mother and a father. The situation in Gaza is currently very bad, as there is no clean water to drink, and this It led to us suffering from intestinal diseases, and there is no treatment available in hospitals or pharmacies. There is no healthy food. We do not have any of the basic necessities of life. There is no safe place in Gaza. Everywhere there is bombing and destruction. My family and I want your help to get us out of Gaza ,We need your support to escape from Gaza and save our lives to Egypt, as traveling to Egypt requires Egyptian coordination, and this costs $5,000 per person for adults and 2500$ for children We are 11 people, so coordination for all members of my family requires 35000$. In addition to that, there are travel and passport transactions that require $3,000 and transportation in order to arrive Cairo International Airport, which costs $1000, and the rent for the apartment in which we will stay upon our arrival from the airport is $1000, and the basics of life because we left the house without taking anything. We went out at night under bombardment, without clothes, without food. We went out to escape for our lives and fled to tents in Rafah.Registering in universities and schools, purchasing all the basics of life we ​​need, and moving to a new stage in our lives in which we live in safety and there is no fear or bombing. All of this requires $40,000 to save our lives, get out of Gaza, complete our educational journey for me and my sisters, and achieve our dreams and Improving the health condition, giving the necessary treatment to my mother and grandmother, and taking care of their health. I don't want to lose anyone from my family, they are my life, love and everything. We live in a very difficult situation, we sleep in the cold, in the dark, there is no water, no electricity, no bathroom, no gas for cooking, only tents to escape from the bombing. I will attach to you pictures of the suffering we are experiencing in Gaza, such as cooking every day on firewood due to the lack of gas, heating water on the fire for bathing due to the lack of electricity, preparing bread on charcoal or fire, seeing the bombing and destruction in our eyes and sleeping so as not to see the horror in Night, my little brothers cry at night from fear and the sounds caused by the bombing, cats that have no food or shelter. We are very afraid. Therefore, I ask you to help us quickly get out of the war unscathed.

I have a cat, and there is no cat food in Gaza. It will die of hunger. Therefore, please help me and my family to leave Gaza and travel to Egypt to find a house in which there is water, electricity, and healthy food, And also to find a treatment and medicine for my mother before her health condition deteriorates so that my brothers and I can complete our educational journey, achieve our dreams and ambitions, and preserve the safety of our souls.
