My name is Abdalshakoor Altaweel, and I am a 9-years-old boy from Khan Yunis in the Gaza Strip.

Like any other teenager, I have dreams of studying, pursuing a university degree in medicine, and contributing to my community.

However, the ongoing war in Gaza has destroyed everything I know. Schools, universities, and homes have been reduced to rubble.

Many of my friends have lost their lives. Our own home was completely destroyed, along with all our belongings and memories.

Life in Gaza has become unbearable. There is no clean water, healthy food, or adequate healthcare.

We are 5 brothers, Abdallah, Abdalrahman, Abdalraheem, me and youngest brother Ahmed.

The constant fear and uncertainty have taken a toll on my mental and emotional well-being. I have lost hope for a better future in Gaza.

Therefore, I am reaching out to you to request your urgent assistance in helping my family and me leave Gaza. We are desperate to escape this war-torn region and start anew in a place where we can live in peace and pursue our dreams.

Thank you.
