Help Dina and her family get out of Gaza to safety

I am Dina from Gaza. I graduated from the Faculty of Law just two months before the war broke out. I had a dream of becoming a lawyer and building my future, but the war destroyed everything. I did not get to celebrate my graduation, and my dreams were shattered. The war has destroyed my city and my university, and it has prevented my three sisters from continuing their university education. My younger brothers and sisters have been deprived of attending school and experiencing the simplest rights of childhood. My sister gave birth to her first child amidst the shelling and hunger, struggling to secure milk, diapers, and clothing for her baby.

Today, we are living a true catastrophe. After the occupation forces stormed Rafah City, we were displaced repeatedly, moving from one place to another in search of safety, but the war followed us everywhere. Now, we live in a cloth tent that provides no protection from the heat of summer, the cold of winter, or the heavy rains. We sleep, eat, and cook in the same space. We sleep on the ground, and we eat whatever we can find—often, there is nothing to eat. Prices have skyrocketed, and famine is chasing us. Even basic cleaning supplies have become a dream, and diseases are spreading among us. My little brother is sick, and we can’t afford the necessary treatment.

The war has returned with full force after a brief ceasefire, bringing back bombing, hunger, and death. My father is trapped on the other side of Gaza, unable to return to us, and he has no job. There is no income, no food, and no safety. All we want now is to survive. We are exhausted from the death, fear, and hunger. We have lost everything we own. We have no choice left but to search for a chance to leave Gaza as soon as the crossings reopen, to find a safe place where I can continue my dream, my sisters can return to school, and my father can find a new job to support us.

However, the cost of travel has become astronomical, with the price to leave Gaza for one person exceeding $5,000, not including the cost of living, rent, and food in any country we might escape to. With the worsening situation and the crossings currently closed, we are waiting anxiously for the first opportunity to leave this nightmare. Therefore, we are in desperate need of help now—to secure the funds for travel and for life afterwards. If we cannot leave, we will at least use the donations to rebuild our destroyed home, help my father regain his job, and provide essential treatment for my sick brother.

From the depths of my heart, I plead with you: please help us escape death, hunger, and repeated displacement. With your support, I can save my family of ten, and we can start anew. Your donations—or even sharing the link—could make the difference between life and death for us. Please, do not leave us alone in this darkness.
