Hello my name is Hasan and my wife Hiba , I have created this fundraiser in hope to help my family which consists of my wife, my two children, Kinan, 1 and half year old, and Halla, 5 years old, and my parents along with my sister and brothers.

My family have been in very difficult conditions in Gaza after the 7th of October, as we were displaced from our home 6 times. our two children left their home for the first time and moved to my family’s home, and then they moved with the family to another, less safe home. Then the army ordered us to flee to southern Gaza, so we fled to the ground, then we ended up fleeing to a small tent and sleeping on the sand.

My son Kinan took his first steps in the war, said his first words in the war, we couldn’t record any of these happy memories to us, as there’s no internet or electricity, so we can barely charge our phones (BTW we charge our phones with a battery that works with sunlight)

This is how we charge our phones, these batteries work with sunlight, and of course it’s not for free ( every hour costs 10$ )

Because the tent is made of naylon and it’s very hot now, so it feels like living in sauna for 24 hours, we all have sunburns, you can see my son before and during the war.

Halla before and during the war

I have crohns disease which is autoimmune disease in which my body attack my intestine and cause me severe pain and bloody diarrhea, before the war my medications wasn’t available in Gaza so every month I had a permission to travel to the west bank to receive my Infliximab injection which by the way very very expensive.

this injection was to relieve my pain and to prevent my disease to progress to cancer.

However since the start of the war i’m not taking any of my medications as there is no hospitals, no medications . I’m now in severe pain that sometimes make me cry actually, and i’m at high risk of colon cancer.

I lost my source of income, i was employee in a company and my salary was ( 400$ per month, which wasn’t enough so i was also working as a photographer to be able to support my family) .

I feel so bad to say this, but now i can’t feed my kids, can’t provide diapers for my son Kinan ( diapers now cost 100$) , can’t feed my kids healthy food.

To make the situation worse, the period of displacement was in the winter, and the tent was and is still not safe at all when it rained, so some drops of rain would fall on us and it was not warm at all for my children. When Hala heard the sound of thunder and the sound of rain hitting the tent’s nylon, she would be terrified and would run to my arms and say that it was the sound of bombing! we suffer from the lack of a bathroom or even a shower. we can only shower once a month using a bucket due to the lack of water. The water is cold in the winter because there is no electricity or gas to heat the water. Every morning, My wife washes our children's clothes with cold water and spread the clothes out in the open. If food is found, it is cooked on firewood and it is completely unhealthy and tastes bad because of the firewood.

Your donation and sharing of our story will help us greatly to rebuild our lives, provide the necessary protection for my children, and provide our basic necessities of food, treatment, and necessities.

PS:I have a friend in Egypt who know someone in USA . They will help me to withdraw the money and send them to me.

 Thank you for your support, for listening to our story, and for helping us through this difficult time.
