We are two Palestinian families from Gaza, both devastated and displaced by the recent war. Between us, we have lost our homes, our loved ones, our income, and the stability that once held our families together. Today, we are scattered across different countries, trying desperately to survive and rebuild our lives.

Our Family’s Situation

Our family lost our home and every belonging we owned. Our father—our only provider—lost his income due to the war, and we have been left with no financial security at all. We are now in Egypt, struggling to cover even the basic costs of living.

Despite everything, our children continue to fight for their future:

Our eldest daughter recently graduated from the Faculty of Pharmacy with excellent grades and was among the top of her class.

Our second daughter is in her second year of pharmacy school, and we are doing everything we can to keep her enrolled.

Our youngest son, who was studying under the American curriculum in Gaza, must continue in a similar school in Egypt. His tuition alone is $2,000 per year, something we cannot afford under our dire circumstances.

Our Sister-in-Law’s Family

Our sister-in-law’s family has endured unimaginable loss. She lost both her husband and her father during the war, leaving her with five children and no support system.

The war has torn their family apart:

The eldest daughter is in Australia pursuing her master’s degree. She managed to bring her mother to stay with her, but tragically, she could not bring her younger siblings.

Two daughters and their brother are now living alone, without parents, trying to care for themselves while their brother studies medicine.

The youngest son lives in the UK, but despite their desperate attempts, the family has been unable to reunite because of immigration restrictions and financial hardship.

These children are scattered across the world—Australia, Egypt, the UK—each trying to survive alone, while their mother struggles with the trauma of losing her husband, her home, and the unity of her family.

In addition to everything we have endured, our family lived through the unimaginable horrors of the war in Gaza. We survived under conditions no human being should ever experience. For months, we lived in a tent—exposed to the cold, the heat, the lack of food, clean water, and basic human needs. Every day was a struggle to stay alive.

The war took our home, our safety, and our stability, and left us facing one hardship after another. Eventually, through the kindness of generous people who sponsored and supported us, we were able to leave Gaza and reach Egypt. Without these compassionate individuals, we would not have made it out alive.

But even after escaping the war zone, our challenges did not end. We arrived in Egypt with nothing—no income, no home, and no possessions—just our faith in God and the hope that our children might still have a future.

These experiences have left deep scars, but they have also given us strength and determination. Today, we are asking for your help not because we want luxury, but because we need the chance to simply live, rebuild, and give our children the future they deserve.
