Please help me and my family

Our family once lived a life filled with love, laughter, and joy. My wife, Rola, our two-year-old daughter, Mona, and I treasured every moment together,

building the life we had always dreamed of. But the war shattered everything. We lost our home, our livelihood, and the world we had known.

The challenges we face now are overwhelming. We lack the basic necessities of life—food, water, and electricity are either unavailable or contaminated, making us sick. We’ve all lost a significant amount of weight due to the poor quality and scarcity of food, relying mostly on inadequate aid supplies. The market prices for essentials are exorbitant, far beyond our reach. Moreover, there’s no internet in Deir el-Balah, where we currently stay. To access it, we have to walk a long, dangerous distance, risking our lives.

We once loved the changing seasons, but now we dread them. Winter floods our tent, soaking our belongings, clothes, and sleeping area every night. We suffer from colds, the flu, and constant aches, with no access to medicine like painkillers or antibiotics. The cold bites at our bones, and we don’t have enough blankets to keep warm. In the summer, the heat inside the tent is unbearable, and we struggle to stay hydrated and cool, with no respite from the scorching sun.

Every time I return to our tent, I see Rola, weary and exhausted, baking and cooking over an open fire. The smoke takes a toll on her health, especially now that she is four months pregnant. Her health has started to deteriorate, and she urgently needs medicine and medical care to save our baby. But we don’t have enough money, and I feel helpless as I watch her silently cry in pain.

As the situation worsened, and with the arrival of our upcoming baby, we made the heart-wrenching decision to leave to Egypt, hoping to find safety and medical care.

My name is Mohamed, and our story may not reach everyone, but I write these words hoping they will touch the hearts of those who can help. We live in harsh conditions, fearing for our unborn child. My wife desperately needs medical care and medication, and we are struggling to provide even the most basic necessities for our family.

Rola was in university before the war, but she can not longer continue her education. Our dream is simple: a safe and stable life for our family. Any support, no matter how small, can change our lives and help us achieve that dream.
