<div>Hello dear friends,
</div>
<div>I am Hani Zidan, reaching out to you with a heart full of hope and urgency.
</div>
<div>For the past decade, I've called Ghent my home, where I am blessed with a fulfilling job, a loving wife, and a beautiful daughter. Yet, my heart remains tethered to Gaza, the place of my birth and the home of my beloved family, including my twin brother, Sami.
</div>
<div>Sami and our family are enduring unimaginable hardships in Gaza, trapped in what can only be described as concentration camps. Their lives have been upended, their dreams shattered, and their future uncertain.
</div>
<div>The home we cherished, where laughter once echoed through the halls, is now reduced to rubble. The store my father built with his own hands is gone. In the blink of an eye, everything was taken from them, leaving behind only memories and heartache.
</div>
<div>For four long months, they've lived under the constant threat of random bombings, grappling with displacement, suffering, and an overwhelming sense of loss.
</div>
<div>The uncertainty of their safety is a torment I cannot bear alone.
</div>
<div>This is not just a plea for help; it is a cry from the depths of my soul. I am desperate to bring Sami and our family to safety, to offer them a chance at a new beginning. But I cannot do this without you.
</div>
<div>The cost of escaping this nightmare is staggering—$5,000 per adult and $2,500 per child to cross the border to Egypt. It's a price we never imagined paying, for a journey we never wanted to take.
</div>
<div>Your support could be the lifeline they so desperately need. Every contribution, no matter the size, is a step towards safety, towards hope, towards a future where they can rebuild their lives.
</div>
<div>From the bottom of our hearts, Sami, our family, and I thank you for your kindness, your compassion, and your generosity. Together, we can turn despair into hope and give my family the chance to live, love, and dream once more.
</div>
<div>With all my gratitude,
</div>
<div>Hani Zidan
</div>

<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hallo iedereen,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ik ben Hani Zidan en vraag jullie hulp.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ik woon intussen al 10 jaar in Gent. Ik heb hier een fijne job en een lieve vrouw en dochtertje.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ik groeide op in Gaza, het land waar mijn hart nog steeds ligt. Het mooie land waar mijn dierbare familie woont.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Vanwege hun geografische locatie en beperkingen voor GoFundMe kom ik tussenbeide om deze campagne te helpen lanceren. Alle donaties gaan rechtstreeks naar mijn familie.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Onze mooie familie (6 mensen) woonde samen in een appartementsgebouw waar mijn vader een grote winkel had. Wij waren - ondanks de soms moeilijke omstandigheden - gelukkig met het leven dat we hadden in Gaza.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Nu blijft er niets meer over van dat gelukkige leven. Het gebouw waar we woonden bestaat niet meer. Mijn familie is alles kwijt.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We weten niet hoe lang deze vreselijke toestand nog zal duren, vier maanden van willekeurige bombardementen, ontheemding, lijden, pijn en verdriet maar we weten wel al: als mijn familie het overleeft, dan is er niets meer om naar terug te keren.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ik probeer alles te doen wat ik kan om van hieruit hulp te bieden. Maar dat is moeilijk.
</div>
<div>De onzekerheid over de veiligheid van mijn familie is vreselijk.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ik weet dat ze daar vast zitten en ik kan niets doen om hen te helpen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Deze oproep is een noodkreet: ik wil mijn familie helpen en ik kan dit niet alleen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ik moet een geldbedrag als doel ingeven en ik kan dit zelfs niet becijferen: hoeveel is er nodig om voor al die mensen een nieuw leven op te bouwen? Als ze niets meer hebben om mee te beginnen...
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In de eerste plaats proberen we te zoeken naar een veilige verblijfplaats. Maar ook dat kost veel geld. Het kost tot 5.000 dollar per volwassen en 2.500 dollar per kind om de grens met Egypte over te geraken.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Vluchten was voor mij en mijn familie nooit een optie. Maar nu kan het niet anders.
</div>
<div>Ik kan hen niet alleen uit deze hel helpen te ontsnappen en daarom wil ik jullie hulp vragen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mijn familie en ikzelf danken jullie uit de grond van ons hart voor jullie hulp!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Met vriendelijke groeten,
</div>
<div>Hani
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

</div>
<div>أهلا بالجميع،
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>أنا هاني زيدان وأطلب مساعدتكم.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>أعيش في غنت منذ 10 سنوات.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>لقد نشأت في غزة، البلد الذي لا يزال قلبي فيه. البلد الجميل الذي تعيش فيه عائلتي العزيزة.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>نظرًا لموقعهم الجغرافي والقيود المفروضة من GoFundMe فأنا أتدخل للمساعدة في إطلاق هذه الحملة. جميع التبرعات ستذهب مباشرة إلى عائلتي.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>كانت عائلتنا (6 شخصًا) تعيش معًا في مبنى سكني حيث كان لوالدي أيضًا متجر كبير. عاشت عائلتي حياة سعيدة في غزة رغم الظروف الصعبة.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>الآن لم يبق شيء ... المبنى الذي عشنا فيه لم يعد موجودًا. لقد فقدت عائلتي كل شيء.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>لا نعرف إلى متى سيستمر هذا الوضع الرهيب، 4 أشهر من القصف العشوائي والنزوح والمعاناة والألم والحزن ولكننا نعلم بالفعل: إذا نجت عائلتي، فلن يكون هناك ما نعود إليه.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>أحاول أن أفعل كل ما بوسعي لتقديم المساعدة من هنا. لكن الأمر صعب ومستحيل بمفردي.
</div>
<div>إن عدم اليقين بشأن سلامة عائلتي أمر فظيع.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>أعلم أنهم محاصرون هناك ولا أستطيع فعل أي شيء لمساعدتهم.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>هذا النداء هو صرخة طلبا للمساعدة: أريد أن أساعد عائلتي ولا أستطيع أن أفعل ذلك وحدي.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>لا بد لي من إدخال مبلغ من المال كهدف ولا أستطيع حتى تحديد هذا المبلغ: ما هو المبلغ المطلوب لبناء حياة جديدة لكل هؤلاء الأشخاص؟ عندما لا يبقى لهم شيء ليبدأوا به....
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>أولاً، نحاول العثور على مكان آمن للبقاء فيه. ولكن حتى هذا يكلف الكثير من المال. ويكلف عبور الحدود إلى مصر ما يصل إلى 5000 دولار لكل شخص بالغ و2500 دولار لكل طفل..
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>لم يكن الهروب خيارًا متاحًا لي ولعائلتي أبدًا. ولكن الآن، ليس هناك طريقة أخرى.
</div>
<div>لا أستطيع مساعدتهم على الهروب من هذا الجحيم وحدي، ولهذا السبب أريد أن أطلب مساعدتكم.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>أنا وعائلتي نشكركم من أعماق قلوبنا على مساعدتكم
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>تحياتي،
</div>
<div>هاني
</div>
