Support osama’s family safe escape from Gaza

My name is Osama. I am a Palestinian citizen who lives in Gaza City. I am 44, and my wife is 41 years old. I have three daughters and two sons. Our life was quiet and stable. My children went to school and led their lives normally. We did not know what was awaited us

On 8th October, the neighbourhood in which I lived was bombed in an insane manner, and many buildings were destroyed, including the one in which I live. It was hit by several missiles, and my apartment was completely destroyed, in which we had the most beautiful memories of our life as a family. we have lost everything and ended up with nowhere or a place to go. It is impossible to restore everything that was destroyed and lost.

We were celebrating my eldest daughter’s success in high school after she obtained an overall average of 90% just a couple of weeks before the war on Gaza started. We had promised her that she would enter the university and enrol in the speciality she dreamed of, and I registered her at Al-Azhar University in Gaza City.

She was very happy and overwhelmed because she had moved from high school to university, but her happiness was incomplete because her university was destroyed during the ongoing brutal bombing.

Since 7th October the situation began to deteriorate rapidly, starting with the bombing of the residential building in which our apartment was located, passing through the continuous daily suffering to secure water and food, all the way to the most difficult event on 13th October, which was the displacement from Gaza City to the middle and south of Gaza strip, leaving everything behind us. We were displaced more than once, the first time to Al-Bureij camp, but after the artillery shelling intensified there, we were displaced to the Al-Zawaida area, then to Rafah, and then to Deir Al-Balah in a tent in the open. Our suffering still continued for nearly five months now, in light of the cold, rainy weather and the lack of winter clothes, food, and water. At the time of our displacement, we had nothing to take with us as we lost it all. It has been five months of uncertainty, insecurity, instability, homelessness, and feeling foreignness at home.
