Hello, I am Yaqeen Ahmed, a Palestinian, writing to you from Germany, far away from the place and people I love most of all. My beautiful family in Gaza are still trapped in the midst of war and unimaginable hardship. I am launching this campaign to save their lives and give them a chance at safety and peace.
For the past seven months, my family has lived a nightmare. Our home in Khan Younis was destroyed in the conflict, forcing them to flee with nothing but the clothes on their backs. They moved from Khan Younis to Rafah, and are now in Al Mawasi, living in a makeshift tent, exposed to the elements, without security or comfort.
Continued displacement, rising living costs, and lack of money or job opportunities have left them in desperate conditions. They struggle daily to afford basic necessities such as food, water, and medicine. The horrors they have faced cannot be described in words – they have lost their home, their sense of security, and their dreams. Every day is a battle for survival, and it is unlikely that I will know that they are living this while I am so far away.
Like any family, we dream of a life where we can simply be together, where my brothers can go to school without fear, where my parents can sleep without the sound of bombs and gunfire in the background. I want to bring them to safety, to Egypt, where they can start rebuilding their lives. But I cannot do it alone.
The cost of travel is astronomical, and we have lost everything. That is why I am reaching out to you – to join me in this urgent appeal to save my family. Your support can help cover the cost of their escape from Gaza, and give them a chance at shelter, food and a future.
There are seven of them – my parents, my younger brothers, my older brother Ahmed, his wife Souad and his daughter. Despite everything, they continue to hold on to hope, as I do. Please show your support and help me bring my family to safety. Any amount you can donate will make a difference and bring us one step closer to reuniting them and saving their lives. This is more than just a plea, it is a plea to humanity. Please help me get my family out of Gaza.
