Urgent help to evacuate my family from Gaza

Donation protected

Dear Friend, I am Jihad Ahmed Abu Shabana, 20 years old, a Palestinian from the Gaza Strip. My family and I were displaced to the city of Rafah, where our last safe place is. We are 8 people. We askfor your urgent help in order to escape this genocide. For everyone reading these words, we are now at the beginning of the seventh month of the war on Gaza. All these days were filled with fear, fatigue and hunger, and the situation here became more dangerous. In our house in Khan Yunis, I live with my family of 8 members. Our lives have turned into a life of displacement, insecurity, and loss of the future. This is what weighs heavily on me, my father, my mother, three brothers and two sistersfamily members: Ahmed Abu Shabana (my father, 42 years old) Heba Abu Shabana (my mother, 40 years old) Muntaser Abu Shabana, my brother, 15 years old) Uday Abu Shabana (brother, 12 years old) Wissam Abu Shabana, my brother, 9 years old) Farah Abu Shabana (my sister, 16 years old), is sick with the Sultan’s disease Dalal Abu Shabana (my sister, 19 years old) Everyone in my family has a dream and ambitionDalal, for example: A first-year nursing student who did not complete her education due to the unjust war. She wanted to continue her education to get the experience necessary to practice her work as a nurse and help people in any way she could. It's in my family's nature to love helping people, it gives you a great feeling and a sense of hope :And also joy Sultan is sick and his health condition is very bad. The situation in Rafah is very difficult. The lack of water and a healthy environment is a great harm to my sister because her immunity is weak. Farah has many dreams and gets sick quickly since she was 8 years old and now she is 16 years old. My beloved sister, may God heal you.
Our family was a wonderful, close-knit family until the unjust war stole our hearts، We were displaced and forced to flee our home in search of safety, which remains elusive in the midst of this conflict. However, the war continues, and we still live without basic necessities, without a home to return to, or a future that holds our hopes and ambitions.
After these difficult and exhausting months, we decided to escape the war in Gaza and move with my family to Egypt and build a better future، this is what we think about, just escaping to a safe place، We really need help and are afraid of our fate if the occupation enters Rafah after threatening to enter it.
Imagine my family and I if the travel cost was $5,000 per person You will survive, everything we have has been destroyed. Our house will be destroyed, our family will be destroyed, my sick sister will be in a very difficult situation, my sister will not finish her studies, and they will attack Rafah and Zaza. Attack Rafah, we will all die. Please help me We leave Gaza
. We have two children who did not live the lives of the children we know, Uday and the child Wissam, and what hurts me most is hearing their crying from extreme hunger and cold, and we cannot meet these people because of the high prices and the lack of family income. We are tired and weak in structure. We need psychological treatment because of stress and fear
A picture of the residential square that was destroyed in our neighborhood. The most painful thing was seeing pictures of our residential yard in this state of devastation. A large part of the house was destroyed, and our memories and possessions were scattered among the rubble. This means that even after the war ends, we are homeless... I had a mobile phone shop that specialized in maintaining and selling mobile phones, but as you know, the working conditions in my country have been going on for years, and in the end everything gets destroyed. I love my job and I love helping people. I want to continue my studies after I leave Gaza, because Gaza is lifeless, so that I can get a suitable job that will help me build a better future.
And this is a picture of me working in a maintenance shop. Everything was destroyed
And this is a picture of me while I was working
This is a flyer I designed myself for my campaign The destruction also extended to the area where I work, which is the only source of income for me and my family, and my memories and dreams were shattered. My family and I, like any other human being, have hopes and dreams, and with your help we can rebuild our dreams and the life we dreamed of one day. As long as the nations have not been able to stop this war yet, you are our only remaining hope, so we hope that you can extend a helping hand to us, and we know that every donation, no matter how small, will have an impact. impact. impact. Significant impact. impact. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for your support. Jihad, your brother from Gaza, helped him and his family travel
