<div>My name is Dr. Maysoon, and I am a 30-year-old female Palestinian dentist currently living in Gaza. Two years ago, I opened my dental clinic in Beit Lahia, a northern part of Gaza. I got married, had two children, and we all settled down in Beit Lahia.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>However, on October 7th, everything changed drastically. Our lives were turned upside down as we were displaced from our home and our village. We, along with members of our extended family, decided to take refuge in my clinic and stayed there for almost a week. Tragically, on the fifth day, my grandmother was killed by the IOF trying to go and check our village and we were devastated and in shock.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On October 12th, we received orders to evacuate Beit Lahia. We moved to Gaza City, but the following day, we were again warned to move to the south of Gaza. This marked the third time we had been displaced. Currently, we are in Deir Al Balah, after our fifth displacement, facing unimaginable hardships. Prices for basic necessities are exorbitant, there is no clean water, and we are living in tents under the scorching summer heat. To make matters worse, we are dealing with relentless insect bites that add to our discomfort and distress.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Due to the constant threat of bombardment, my husband and I have made the heartbreaking decision to split our family into two groups to reduce the chance of our entire family being wiped out in a single attack. This decision, while necessary for our safety, has added to the emotional strain we are already under.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In addition to these struggles, my younger son, who is only 3 years old and was previously very expressive, has become almost silent. The trauma and stress have affected him deeply, and now only I and my husband (who tries to encourage him over the phone) can coax him to speak, and it takes a significant amount of effort.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At this moment, we cannot ask for help from grassroots movements such Operation Olive Branch because they have over 800 families on their waiting lists and are not currently taking any new ones.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Life has become unbearably hard, and we are in desperate need of assistance. We are seeking to evacuate from Gaza to Egypt to find safety and stability for our family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support can help us afford the high costs of evacuation and secure a better future for our children. Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in our lives. Please help us escape this dire situation and find a place where we can live in peace once again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dr. Maysoon
