Help Deema and Salma's Family Escape War
Donation protected
This is the story of my Aunt:
Hi my name is Muna Al-Halaq, living in Gaza Strip currently facing the war in Gaza, along with my family. I am reaching out to kindly ask for your assistance for my family which consists of me, mu husband and three daughters, to evacuate Gaza where we can find safety and peace, away from the devastation of war, displacement, and homelessness. Our family of five has endured bombings in Gaza City, forcing us to seek refuge in overcrowded displacement areas in southern Gaza, where basic necessities such as medicine, nutrition, and clean water are lacking making the risk of disease higher among us due to pollution, water scarcity, and overcrowding. Our family home, which includes a grocery shop and used to be our source of income, was destroyed, resulting in financial losses and obligations to suppliers and customers totaling over $10,000.

I used to be a teacher, faced massive distress during this period , jeopardizing my job. I fear that I will permanently lose my job and only source of hope for income to my family, due to the ongoing war.

Additionally, I lost my unborn child due to the trauma of displacement and fear, further compounded by the difficulty of conceiving through a costly tube implantation procedure totaling $4,000.

My daughters, Dima and Salma, primary school students, have been deprived of education and safety, experiencing fear and anxiety from continuous bombings. They have been denied the rights and dreams of other children worldwide.

My youngest, Misk, has had her childhood stolen by war and suffered a minor eye injury during the conflict.


Our hardships extend beyond displacement to difficult living conditions, with power and gas shortages forcing us to endure extreme cold and cook over open fires.
We seek assistance to cover the costs of leaving Gaza, totaling $10,000 for my husband and me and $7,500 for our three daughters, as well as $7,000 for living expenses in Egypt for a year until the end of the war. Additionally, we request compensation for the losses to my husband's business and for the pregnancy we lost during the war, totaling $10,000 and $4,000 respectively.
Your support can help save our family from the horrors of war and restore hope. Any contribution, no matter how small, can make a difference in our lives. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing our story with others. Thank you for your kindness.
