Help us to save our life and leave Gaza

Hello everyone

This is my story, and I hope it won't be so long for you.

 I am Saja, the youngest one in my family. I'm 24 year-olds, the age that supposed to be flower age, the youth age in which we take the first steps in achieving our dreams and establishing a successful business and a happy marital life.

I got engaged to a person named Muhammad, who works as an engineer in one of the local companies at Gasa Stripin Palestine. I loved him and with him I saw my future and the fulfillment of my dreams.

Muhammad and I, during our engagement, carefully chose together every corner and part of our little "paradise" , which means a lot to us and the most precious thing we have. It was like a dream house, and it took us a lot of effort, time and money to complete it in light of the difficult financial situation we face at Gasa.

I had many ambitions and dreams that I had always dreamed of.

During preparingfor my wedding, I bought many clothes, accessories, decoration masterpieces for my new house. I had not saved even a cent of my dowry and my savings, which I had collected from my special talent in designing necklaces and beads.

Like any newlyweds, we chose an unforgettable and special date for our wedding which was on 3/3/2023, to begin a life full of happy memories and big dreams we prepared in that paradise (our home).

I lived with my husband happily in our dreaming house until 7/10/2023.

Then, the most destructive,brutal and bloody war broke out at Gasa and it has not subsided until now.

It destroyed our lives, dreams, and our future.

We were displaced from our home on the first day, and until now we are in the tenth month of the war.

I always wish to return home, my family’s home, and our land.

I am filled with nostalgia that increases every day. We did not have the chance to say goodbye to the house, nor to take our belongings, or even our pictures and memories.

During our displacement, we moved to more than one place to escape death and bombing. We saw the most horrific scenes that the human mind could not bear, including corpses and body parts, until our grieving heart became accustomed to these things, and every time our hearts became more shattered, but we couldn't changed anything.

There was nothing left to breathe life into Gaza. At first, my house was damaged and I said I would repair it and live in it if they allowed me to return to it (photo)

In the last month, I received news that my house had been completely destroyed, so that we could not revive anything from the rubble or return to it.

I now live in a tent with my husband, separated by a long distance from my family’s tent and my sisters’. There is no safety here and life is very difficult. The sun is scorching, the place is not clean, and diseases spread widely in the camps. You cannot do anything about this matter...

Here I no longer have any hope of returning. I was very optimistic in the past and came to help others and smiled despite the suffering, but now I am walking with a great heaviness in my heart, and my home and homeland have been taken from me. What will I return to and how will I start my life again? Will I return to building a tent over the wreckage of my house and my heart is broken? No. I can imagine his image and still not accept it.

It is hard to ask for help, but it is the time take an action to seek to survive and escape from death.

My husband and I decided to leave Gaza and live in another country.
