My name is Amina Tridente, I'm a lawyer and I live in Bari, Italy.

I started this fundraiser to support my friend Israa and her children, trapped in Gaza amidst destruction and famine.

Let's help them; even a small donation can make a difference.

Thanks

Israa's appeal is below:

"Hello, my name is Israa, I am 30 years old and a mother of a small family of three.

We used to live a simple life in northern Gaza, relying solely on my job as our only source of income—until the war came and shattered everything. I lost my home, my job, and the dreams I had for myself and my children.

I suffer from a chronic condition (arterial inflammation) and urgently need neck surgery, but the war and lack of medical care have made access to treatment nearly impossible.

After being displaced for over a year and a half in tents, at the beginning of 2025 we returned to the area where our home once stood, only to find nothing—no house, no neighborhood, only rubble.

I bought a tent and we lived in it, holding on to hope. But the war returned even more brutal than before. Now we live in constant fear, under relentless bombing, with hunger threatening our lives.

We are in desperate need of humanitarian aid: shelter, food, medicine, and safety. I appeal to every compassionate heart and to international organizations to stand with us and help save what is left of our lives and dreams.

My children have been deprived of their simplest dreams — having a home, eating delicious food, going to school, and living in safety.

Due to the current situation, my children are malnourished, and we lack basic necessities like food, clean water, and medicine.

The border has been closed for over three months since the famine began, worsening our suffering.

We have seen death with our own eyes, and we continue to face hunger and danger every day.

We kindly ask for your support and donations — every contribution brings hope and a chance to survive.

The family has no source of income except for donations and urgently needs your support to start over.
