Help Nada survive in Gaza & pursue her Eng'g studies abroad

Hello everyone, my name is Ahmad Ammash and I am Lebanese living in Leeds, United Kingdom. I am raising funds to support Nada - a second-year Software Engineering student who has grown up without a father and is currently stuck without her mother in Gaza and amidst the genocidal war. Nada's mother fled to Egypt to treat her other daughter, who got injured from a Zionist airstrike.

I will be transferring funds directly to the Bank of Palestine account owned by Nada's sister, Amal Salha.

Her is Nada's full story:

Hello, my name is Nada Salha and I am 20 years old. This year was supposed to be my second year studying Software Engineering at the Islamic University in Gaza.

I achieved a final year average of 92.4 in my senior high school year at the Al-Zahraa Secondary School for Girls. My excellent academic performance led me to starting my Software Engineering studies and was critical to achieve my long-term career goals.

However, the occupation's genocidal war on Gaza turned my life into a tragic and bitter reality - after I had been living a good life. My university was destroyed, my dreams and ambitions of becoming a Software Engineer were shattered, and I am still unable to continue my studies.

Our lives and finances were drastically impacted by the war - as my family no longer has a source of income after businesses and factories were completely demolished. Besides, our own house was not safe from the Zionist airstrikes as it got severely damaged as well.

The genocidal war forcefully displaced us multiple times in search of safety. However, there is no safe place in Gaza - regardless of what the occupation claims.

As you can tell, we live in very difficult conditions - as it is extremely difficult and expensive to secure the essentials for survival. Also, my mom had to flee to Egypt to treat one of my sisters who got severely injured from a Zionist airstrike. Apart from that, I have grown up without a father as he passed away at an early stage of my childhood. So, I am currently stuck in Deir El Balah in Gaza with three of my sisters and without a guardian. Each of my other four sisters is displaced in a different area and we struggle to keep in touch due to the extremely poor network connection and signal.

Below is a medical report describing my injured sister's (who fled to Egypt) condition on February 8, 2024.

Therefore, I am working hard to reach out to friends and family members abroad seeking the support that I really need to pursue my studies, ambitions, and dreams of becoming a Software Engineer. I genuinely need your support to live safely with my family and continue my educational journey just like the majority of people in this world.

Evacuation to Egypt costs an unbelievable $5000 per person. Every single dollar you donate will give me hope that I will continue my education and achieve my career goals. Your support can really make a difference and I thank you for it from the bottom of my heart.

I will be using raised funds to purchase the essentials on a daily basis and most importantly to evacuate Gaza and continue my Software Engineering studies in Egypt.
