Hello, I am from Gaza. We were displaced from the north to the south of the Strip because of the war. We have been living for 8 months with daily fear, terror, and bombing. I have 3 children, including my son Muhammad, who is 5 years old. He suffers from hearing loss and wears headphones, but in order to be able to hear others, he needs a cochlear implant. An internal hearing aid is very necessary, and if the operation is not performed, the entire reputation will be lost. I need help so that I can travel abroad with my son as quickly as possible. The cost of the operation is 30 thousand dollars. I could not provide the amount.

I am now writing from inside a cold tent, and the wind is strong. I believe that what is happening is just a nightmare, and what happened to us over the past months is a disaster in every sense of the word. I had a beautiful, warm house, but the occupation bombed everything we owned. Unfortunately, there is no safe place in the entire area. We went to an empty house, a house with an iron roof, and with every shell and missile, it shook violently. My children suffer from panic attacks, fear, and inability to sleep due to the sounds of explosives, and food poverty due to famine here. There is no internet, electricity, water, or food. And there is no life.

In these dire times, I implore for assistance to evacuate my family from Gaza for their safety. The escalating crisis has reduced schools, once beacons of hope, to rubble, crushing the dreams of our children.

Essential supplies are scarce, and daily life is fraught with unrelenting fear. The urgency for evacuation is paramount, with estimated costs ranging from $4,000 to $6,000 per person to cross the Rafah border into Egypt.

Your generous contributions will directly facilitate their escape, providing temporary shelter until a safe return is feasible. Each donation, irrespective of size, serves as a beacon of hope in this dark hour. Additionally, I seek aid in rebuilding our childhood home, now reduced to ruins

My family consists of 4 members: my wife, Wjdan, who is 25 years old, and my sons, Ahmed (7 years old), Muhammad (5 years old), and Omar (2 years old). We had to evacuate several times due to bomb threats. We moved from North Gaza to South Gaza, and we do not know if we will be able to return to our home . We are currently trapped in the southern Gaza area, unable to go and inspect our home. Leaving our home, knowing full well that we may never see it again, is an indescribably painful experience that has become our reality. We took refuge in a friend's house in Deir al-Balah, then moved to tents in Rafah for refugees. My family and I face multiple evacuation warnings, putting our lives in danger. Right now, we lack proper shelter. In addition, finding affordable apartments for rent has become almost impossible due to mass displacement, skyrocketing prices, and our limited resources.

Now, it is a matter of life and death for me and my family. We have lost everything, and the only thing they can hold on to is our lives. Although all conceivable options have been exhausted, the only glimmer of hope remaining lies in leaving the Gaza Strip through the Rafah border, which is mainly controlled by the Egyptian government. To escape this war, each family member must pay $5,000 to be added to the departure lists at the Rafah border crossing. I would like to donate to my family to cover our travel expenses from Gaza to Egypt via the Rafah crossing. In addition, the funds will be used to cover our accommodation and basic needs for an estimated period of 6 months. This fundraiser is a last resort to help me and my family escape the war. The development of the situation makes me unsure of the possibility of my family and I staying alive and seeing and embracing them.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read and supporting my family.
