<div>My name is Alaa Elmashharwi, I was having a happy family of 15 members, we were having happy and stable life, writing from the side of the war in Gaza strip, I didn't expect that I would survive to write what I had passed through until this moment.

</div>
<div>After 7-October, we lost everything,
</div>
<div>In the first month of the war, we could not leave our home due to the intensity of bombin , and we remained hiding there with our children.
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div>In 10 and 11 Nov, we were surrounded by tanks, that began bombing our home causing fire everywhere inside , at this moment ,we had no choice but to take risk and leave home in front of these tanks without taking anything or even taking a farewell look at our home because death was surrounding us in every direction.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While we were leaving our home, 15 members of my family and children were injured, we tried to contact the red cross to help us, but they told us that our area had become a closed military zone and they could not help us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We didn't have anything to help the wounded not even water and food for our children, we really lived the hardest 48 hours to move to southern Gaza.
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div>Miraculously, we could move from the military zone of the north of Gaza to the less dangerous south of Gaza ,15 kilometers on foot beside the terrifying military troops surrounding us.
</div>
<div>and 5 members of my family were arrested.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We were displaced to the family chalet in the Nuseirat area, and after a month and a half we were displaced for the third time to Rafah in the Mall of Arabia with dozens of families due to the Israeli army’s invasion of Nuseirat and the destruction of the chalet.

<div><br />
</div>
<div>Stores containing goods, appliances and household utensils for my family were bombed,
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div>All our warehouses in Gaza and 3 branches of our stores in the Strip were bombed,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/80426459_1717023078878201_r.jpeg" width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We lost our company that supports 120 families,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All our cars and cargo were destroyed,
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div>The family’s chalet in the Nuseirat area was bulldozed

<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, after all this, we were forced, not given the choice, to leave our Country and our City to save our lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Imagine what you spent your life on, lose it in the blink of an eye and return you to zero again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This fundraising has been made to help our family, to started a new business , for small shop for household goods, after we lost all our shop branches in Gaza.
</div>
<div>I hope you help us raise our fundraising to reach our goal that could help us recover a little of our previous life.

<div>تخيل ان تستيقظ تجد نفسك سلبت كل حياتك ... احلامك.. بيتك ..عملك ..اموالك.. سيارتك ومدينتك باكملها .. حتى ملابسك .. وتجد نفسك مشردًا هنا وهناك يهاجمك الموت في كل لحظة.
</div>
<div>هذا ما عشته انا وعائلتي باختصاار !
</div>
<div>لم اكن اتوقع انني سوف اكتب ما عشته حتى هذه اللحظه وانني سوف ابقى على قيد الحياه ... بعد ٧ -١٠ فقدنا كل شي .
</div>
<div>في اول شهر من الحرب لم نستطع مغادرة المنزل من شدة القصف وبقينا مختبئين في مخازن المنزل نحن واطفالنا مع انقطاع الكهرباء والماء .
</div>
<div>وفي تاريخ ١٠-١١ تفاجئنا بمحاصرة منزلنا بالدبابات بشكل كامل
</div>
<div>بدأت الدبابات تقصف منزلنا ونحن فيه بقذائف الدبابات واشتعل الحريق......
</div>
<div>ولم يعد لنا خيار سوى المجازفة والخروج من البيت امام هذه الدبابات حاملين الرايات . البيضاء دون اخذ اي شي من المنزل او حتى القاء نظره الوداع لبيتنا
</div>
<div>وفي هذه الخطوات نطقنا الشهادتين مئات المرات في كل لحظه تحاصرنا الدبابات والقناصة ....
</div>
<div>حتى تصاوب ١٥ من افراد عائلي واطفالهم مرفق صوره لاصابه ابن اخي
</div>
<div>وباعجوبه نجونا وانتقلنا من غزه للجنوب مسافة ٢٠ كيلو متر على شاطيء البحر مشيا على الاقدام امام الجيش الاسرائيلي
</div>
<div>........ وتم اعتقال ٥ من افراد عائلتي تم تعذيبهم اشد انواع العذاب والاذلال
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>نزحنا لشاليه خاص بنا في منطقة المغاازي وبعد شهر ونصف نزحنا للمره الثالثه الي رفح في مول العرب مع عشرات العائلات بسبب اجتياح الجيش الاسرائيلي للمغازي وتدمير شاليه العائله ........ه
</div>
<div>والان وبعد مرور ٥ شهور ...... من الحرب
</div>
<div>فقدنا بيتنا المكون من ٧ طوابق
</div>
<div>وتم قصف جميع مخازنا في غزه و٣ افرع من معارضنا في القطاع
</div>
<div>وتم تدمير كل سيارتنا وشحون نقل البضاءع الخاصة بنا
</div>
<div>وتجريف الشاليه الخاص بنا في منطقة النصيرات
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>والان اجبرنا على ترك بلدنا ومدينتنا لننجو بارواح اطفالنا
</div>
<div>لقد فقدنا كل شيء لنا ونحتاج ان مساعدتكم لنبدا حياتنا من الصفر بعد ان فقدنا كل شي ، نملكه
</div>
<div>سنقوم بفتح معرض تجاري جديد للادوات المنزليه خارج البلد بعد ان دمرو كل معارض شركة العائلة في غزة
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>تخيل ما افنيت عمرك فيه بلمح البصر تفقده ليعيدوك لصفر من جديد
