My small world has always revolved around my family, my mother and two brothers, my relatives, friends, and my accessories making small business.

When our apartment was bombed along with our entire residential block, I lost all of my work, accessories and bead doilies I have labored over for hours. I was set to participate in an exhibition, but my mom didn't let me take any of my stuff along when we evacuated in a rush when news came that our entire residential compound, comprised of 12 residential building, each 11 floors was going to be bombed.

So, I stayed at my friend's house along with my family for 35 days as the situation inside Gaza City kept deteriorating rapidly. It got so bad we had to evacuate once more along with my friend's family to the south which was proclaimed a "Humanitarian area". We ended up in a small, dilapidated underground garage with no running water and electricity, but still preferable to staying in a tent. The trip to the south where we had to walk hundreds of miles under the threat of Israeli snipers and tanks, stepping over dead bodies, was incredibly traumatizing to my mother. Her heart couldn't take the terror and the stress along with the loss of our home especially since she had an open heart operation a couple of years prior and was still in a precarious condition. She passed away after much struggle and pain on December 11th, 2023. I wasn't given the luxury of grieving for my mother because concern for my younger brother's health soon replaced it. We are a family struggling with diabetes and my brother soon grew a sever infection in his foot from over walking that threatened the amputation of his foot. Mercifully, the wound began to heal but he still remain in pain and unable to walk long distances. This chapter of pain co-existed within a telecommunications blackout. I was unaware of the immense pain waiting for me once it returned. The day the signal bar came back, I was soon told my best friend of more than 20 years was killed in a bombing along with her little daughters in Gaza. It shattered my heart to small pieces.

All I can think about is that I don't want to lose more people. My heart can't take it. I want to survive this war along with my two brothers. They're all I have in the world now.

To be able to make it across the border, I'll have to pay $5000 per person amounting to $15k for me and my brothers and an estimated $3k in bank transfer and currency exchange fees. In addition to $5k needed to secure our basic necessities of rent, food, medications and medical screening for me and my brothers for months since the war seems to have no foreseeable end. That all results in an amount of money that I can never hope to produce on my own.

My name is Enas Sadiya, and I need your help in getting out of Gaza alive with my brothers. I would be forever grateful for your donations and contributions.

Sincerely,

Enas

لطالما كان عالمي الصغير يقتصر على عائلتي المتكونة من والدتي واخواني الاثنين واقربائي واصدقائي وعملي بتصميم الاكسوارات عندما قصف منزلنا لم تدعني والدتي ان اخد من المشغولات التي كنت احضرها للمشاركة باحد المعارض معي وقالت لي كيف ستحملين اعمالك وهي ثقيلة الوزن ولكن عند خروجنا من شقتنا تم تدمير الابراج وبعد ذلك نزحت لمنزل صديقتي لمدة ٣٥ يوما ليقترب منا الخطر مجددا ويصبح الضرب اقرب فاقرب فنخرج على عجل انا وصديقتي واهلها للنزح الى رفح حيث اقمنا عند اقارب والدتي واخدنا بدروم صغير غير مجهز. بالكامل ولكنه افضل من بقائنا في مراكز الايواء خاصة وان والدتي تعاني من مشاكل في القلب وكانت قد خضعت لعملية قلب مفتوح وللاسف خلال هذه المدة كانت تعاني من الجفاف وازداد المرض عليها لتفارقنا والدتي يوم ٢٠٢٣/١٢/١١ خلال هذه الفترة لم استطيع ان احزن على فقدان والدتي الصادم لان القلق على اخي الاصغر كان كبيرا فنحن عائلة تعاني من مرض السكر وبسبب عدم القدرة على ايجاد الأدوية المناسبة وبسبب فقدان الفيتامينات كانت اظافر اخي تتساقط وبعد ذلك فقدنا لفترة شبكات الاتصال والنت وعندما عادت الاتصالات اكتشفت ان صديقة طفولتي ورفيقتي المقربة هي وبناتها الصغيرات قد فارقتني ايضا كانت الصدمة كبيرة و كسر قلبي عندها وكل ما يستحوذ علي تفكيري هو انني لا اريد ان افقد المزيد وان انجوا انا واخوتي من الحرب ولنخرج من رفح الى مصر
