<div>My name is Tareq, a Canadian- Palestinian living in Ontario Canada. I’m reaching out for support to help my family members get out of Gaza and arrive in Canada. I have a family of 29 people (18 adults, 11 kids) which consists of my parents , my brothers and their wives and kids and my sisters and their husbands and kids.
</div>
<div>My family lives in Gaza City and they were displaced under fire on October 20 with nothing with them. My family had their homes completely bombed and destroyed. they forced to leave the city heading to the South of Gaza where they have no one or nowhere to stay. My family has a family business, such as a Butcher Shop and Fast Food Restaurant and all of them have been destroyed completely; so, they exhaustively lost their income resource.
</div>
<div>Now, they are living in a tent in a camp for displaced people and facing the difficulty of winter and cold without the minimum necessities of life , such as a blankets , a beds , clear water and food.
</div>
<div>In my family there are newborns , and children under ten years old . My niece is pregnant and is expected to give birth during January at any moment and they don’t have any access to the health care system as the system is destroyed.

<div>After months of pleas from Canadians with extended family members in the war zone, Immigration Canadian Minister Marc Miller announced the new temporary visa program for people in the Gaza Strip who have Canadian relatives. Miller called the situation in Gaza “unlivable,” he expects to have a temporary visa program up and running by Jan. 9, 2024. He underscored the challenges of getting out of the besieged Palestinian territory. Mr. Miller said that Canada has no guarantees from Israel, Hamas, or Egypt that extended family members on Canada's list will be able to leave.
</div>
<div>Moreover, the Canadian Government will not have any financial assistance for evacuees or their families in Canada. It means that my family will have to pay all the travel expenses, in addition to the settlement in Canada on their own.
</div>
<div>The expenses of travel mean:
</div>
<div>• Application fee for 29 people
</div>
<div>• Expenses of leaving Gaza in case Canada will not be able to put the names on the evacuation list of Rafah crossing. The people in Gaza have been asked to pay $7000 per person regardless the age, to be allowed out of Gaza.
</div>
<div>• The stay in Cairo for 3-4 weeks waiting for the paperwork.
</div>
<div>• Flight tickets for 29 people from Cairo to Canada.
</div>
<div>The settlement expenses (for the first 2 months till they find jobs) means:
</div>
<div>• Rent
</div>
<div>• Furniture
</div>
<div>• Winter gear to adapt to the weather
</div>
<div>• Health coverage
</div>
<div>• Living cost
</div>
<div>The situation, the danger, and the hardship are beyond any anticipation. Time is extremely sensitive, which means that time costs blood and lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for hearing about the situation of my family and me.
</div>
<div>At this moment; and on behave of my family, I thank you for your time and interest hearing about their situation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am sincerely and deeply asking all kind people to help them to leave and start a new life , where they can enjoy security and safety and get a better quality of life and education .
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you again for your support and understanding during this challenging time. Your contribution means a new life for my family. Also, it means compassion and solidarity for justice and preserving human lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
