“Hello, I'm Aseel, a Palestinian from Gaza. I need your help in any way possible. I am a mother of two young children, Muhammad & Karaz. The occupation destroyed our beautiful house last March and we had to take my son Muhammad out from under the rubble of the house. He was injured in the head and foot. His body has recovered, thank God, but his mental health is still very tired. We were displaced more than seven times under bombing to find a safe place to protect our children, but here there is no safe place. Our lives are at risk and we could die at any moment.

I'm a mathematics teacher who lost my job since the beginning of this war; now there is no source of income or a home. The situation is getting worse every day. There is no medicine, not even water to drink or for daily use. There is no healthy food for my children, only canned food and if it is available, it is very expensive. Nine months of war have exhausted all our energy to survive . Please don't let me down- I have great hope and optimism that you will help us survive and escape Gaza. Thank you so much.”
