Hello and thank you for being here. My name is Elizabeth and I live in Hertfordshire in the United Kingdom. I’m desperate to raise emergency funds to help Mr and Mrs Dawoud and their three young boys in besieged Gaza. They are currently sheltering in the south of Gaza in one room of a bombed out building. They have lost everything - their home, their livelihood, their income is gone. The conflict becomes worse every day and they need help urgently to try to survive.

Like all Gazans, they are under threat of death night and day. Bombs fall constantly. Sniper fire is indiscriminate. Drones constantly overhead monitoring any movement on the ground.

Here are some words from Moamen Dawoud:

Hello friends

I am Moamen Dawoud from the Gaza Strip, I am 32 years old, married and have 3 children.

I used to live in the north of Gaza Strip, but due to the war of extermination, my house was demolished and we were deported to the south of Gaza by the Israeli army.

There began tremendous suffering.

We are sheltering in a bombed out building as we have no tent.

We have few clothes and no money to purchase hygiene necessities. Food is scarce and prices sky high. We are exposed to extreme danger and face death at any moment. The children are terrified. We don’t sleep much as we fear for our life constantly. There is the never ending sound of drones, quad-copters and military planes over our heads.

We are a proud family reduced to pleading for help. We have no choice. Please help us - any donation is so important and can save the life of my family.

We thank you so very much in advance.
