Update: Hello, I am Tamer from Gaza, I am 16 years old and am with my family in Gaza. We have now returned home after the ceasefire came into effect. My house is partially destroyed and our agricultural land was completely destroyed. I need your help to rebuild our house and agricultural business so that we can earn money again. I need to reach the goal. This is the last step in returning to our former lives. Any amount helps to reach the campaign goal. Thank you

Story:

My family is from the Gaza Strip. This war has caused destruction, grief, loss, and unimaginable conditions for us. We are a family of 8 people. My father, Ayman, 50 years old, My mother, Sonia, 47 years old, My brother, Muhammad, 25 years old, My sister, Rawan, 24 years old, My brother, Bilal, 22 years old, My brother, Tawfiq, 17 years old, Tamer Ard, 15 years old, My brother, Ziad, 5 years old. We had a quiet life and worked in agriculture. Our work provided money, food, and necessities for our family. We studied at school and university, but the war upended our lives. It took away our source of livelihood, destroyed our home and agricultural land from which we sold vegetables. The war has taken away our access to education. Now there is nothing in Gaza. No school or university, we cannot continue our education except outside of Gaza. There is no work because there is no infrastructure or foundation for anything. Everything we have has been destroyed. There is no life. We suffer from malnutrition, and disease is growing due to poor conditions. We need help to save our family and get out of Gaza so that we can have a safe, quiet, better life, and continue our education. Gaza has been completely destroyed. I hope you can help us.
