Support Omar's Family in Gaza

Omar's Story:

I never thought at any time that I would ever ask people for help with money. Our life was good. But the war came and destroyed my family's home in the south of the Gaza Strip that we had worked for years to restore before the war. Now, my family lives in a tent outside our destroyed home during the best of times. At the worst times my family is displaced to other areas nearby to escape invasions and bombings. Displacing is very difficult for my family in particular, as one of my brothers is disabled with motor impairment.

Although the Israeli army classifies the nearby "humanitarian zone" as a safe area, it has now turned it into hell due to the daily shelling that has become a normal thing and does not cause any international media uproar. Due to the large number of displacement orders, there is no longer an empty meter of space to accommodate more people, in addition to the spread of diseases and epidemics, and the spread of sewage between the tents. Things are tragic.

We don’t want to ask help; we are not used to it. But the war has lasted for more than 10 months now, and life has become so difficult. If I don’t ask for help, my family will die.
