Help my family evacuate GAZA and start over

Hello, My name is Rewaa Mershed, I’m a freelancer journalist, living in Belgium, I used to spread and tell stories about suffering of Gaza people, but as for now with great sadness I have to tell you about my sister’s story.

This is her story

"Hi, I'm Reham, a mother from Gaza, Palestine. I have a 2-year-old son named Zaid, before a devastating war tore through our lives, my husband and I had built a small business and a warm home filled with love and memories in Gaza.

On October 7th, everything changed, Our home and business were destroyed in the conflict, We had to flee to the southern part of Gaza, amidst relentless bombings escaping a trail of destruction and chaos, leaving everything behind, with only the clothes on our backs.

We sheltered in a small house cramped with 80 others, living in constant fear, lacking clean water, food, and electricity, My son suffered from an intestinal infection due to the dire conditions, and there was no insufficient medical care in our displacement , and we've been cut off from the world without internet amidst the constant sound of war, For over three months, we lived through unimaginable conditions.

My son, who is just learning to speak, repeats words like "bombing sound, ambulance " and "I'm afraid" instead of enjoying a normal childhood. He was crying due to the continues shelling and big explosions , We've lost family members and friends, and every day brings the fear of more loss.

Our greatest concern is for Zaid's future, where he will live, study and grow up. With everything destroyed, his prospects are bleak. We aim to provide him with a life of safety, nourishment, education, and, most importantly, peace. These are the minimum rights of a child.

I also worry about my mother, who has been a pillar of strength for our family, After my father's passing, she raised us under challenging conditions, and I hope to offer her a semblance of security and comfort. As we look towards rebuilding, we face the reality of having no home or income,The reconstruction will be long and costly.

We are reaching out for your support through donations. Any contribution, big or small, will help us rebuild our lives, ensuring Zaid can have the childhood he deserves, and bring a smile back to my mother's face as she watches her grandson grow. Your support is not just financial it's a gesture of solidarity and humanity".

Thank you for considering our plea for help.
