Help high school student Raghad and her family evacuate Gaza

Hello, my name is Raghad, and I am a 17 year old high school student from Gaza.

Among the harrowing experiences of the Gaza war, I found myself grappling with the belief that life had lost its meaning amidst the chaos and suffering. Despite the overwhelming challenges my family and I faced, including displacement, financial depletion, and the fracturing of families, we persevered, clinging to hope and searching for a path forward.

The war, undoubtedly the darkest chapter of my life, forced me to confront its realities head-on. Amidst bombings and constant movement, the struggle for survival intensified, with basic necessities like food and shelter becoming increasingly scarce. Yet, amidst the turmoil, the drive to ensure a better future for our family members and remained existed.

Who is Raghad?

I am a bright and ambitious student who dreamed of pursuing my passion for (software engineering). Before the war, I was working toward achieving my dream by attending sessions, lectures, and summer camps.
