Help child and his family rebuilding their life

Hello, my name is Mohanad, a Palestinian from Gaza. I live in Gaza Strip with my parents - my mother and father - and my siblings: Yasser, Afnan, Rawan, Rewaa, Mohammed, and our little beautiful baby, Karam.

My urgent concern is to rescue myself, my family, and especially my little brother. It occupies all my thoughts at present. I earnestly seek your support to evacuate us from Gaza and relocate to a place where we can begin a safe life.

In October 2023, we were forcibly displaced from north to south Gaza in open air. We are left homeless, with scarce resources and no access to hospitals. We suffer from diseases due to unhealthy food and drink, exposure to cold in winter, and our tent being submerged during flooding.

We miraculously escaped death, but our family home was destroyed. We fled to the south, where death threatens us nightly, and we now reside in a tent.

During this aggression on Gaza, everyone in my family has become stuck in life, and our goals have collapsed. Our existence is filled with fear, horror, tears, anxiety, and coldness that accompany us daily. Our only tasks are collecting wood and carrying buckets of water, which do not reflect a decent life. We are at a standstill, without progress, stuck in our lives, unsure of our fate. Your support is crucial to save our lives and escape to Egypt from Gaza as quickly as possible.

Our immediate need is to settle in a place where we can start a safe, calm, and healthy life, free from the constant threat of bombings, imprisonment, or shootings.

Seeing our 2-year-old child, Karam, enduring this grievous and tragic life breaks my heart and fills me with worry about his future. He misses out on a healthy childhood due to lack of clean water, inadequate shelter, and the harsh conditions of our environment.

Regarding my family's situation:

Basam, my father, is retired and has no income. He suffers from heart disease, requiring medication.

Eman, my mother, has tirelessly worked to maintain our household, but our home was destroyed, along with all our memories.

Yasser, my brother, was studying Medicine at Al-Azhar University before it was destroyed.

Afnan, my sister, had aspirations to continue her education after graduating but now faces uncertainty.

Rawan and Mohammed, my siblings, were studying at university before their education was disrupted by bombings.

Rewaa, my sister, had dreams of attending medical school, which now seem out of reach due to the ongoing conflict.

As for me, I graduated from high school with a grade of 99% and started studying medicine before the war disrupted my education. With your support, I hope to fulfill my dream of completing my studies abroad.

Our current plan involves evacuating our family and my little brother from Gaza as soon as possible. We aim to relocate to Egypt, obtain residency and citizenship, pursue education, cover travel and legal fees. Long-term possibilities include settling in a place where living is sustainable

he funds will be allocated as follows:

Coordination for leaving Gaza

Establishing residency and ensuring a decent standard of living

Providing access to healthy food and clean water

Medical treatment for my father's heart condition and therapy for all family members affected by the trauma of war

Covering university fees for those pursuing education

Your support is vital in helping us save our lives, rescue my little brother, and start anew. Thank you for your assistance. Please share this campaign with your friends, family, and colleagues to help us reach our goal and provide safety for us.
