Help Waleed's Family Escape Gaza's Devastation

Greetings, I am Waleed. On October 7th, my family and I were forced to leave our home in the northern part of Gaza. It was a sanctuary filled with love and hope, but circumstances pushed us to flee to the camps in the south.

Now, I find myself in a tough spot. Our home was completely destroyed by airstrikes, leaving my family and me homeless. Now, we're living in a cramped tent in Rafah, Gaza Strip. It's a tough situation, especially with four young kids to care for: Karam and Abdelkareem, my 9-year-old twin sons, Joanna, my 6-year-old daughter, and little Lana, who is just 2.5 years old.

Life in the tent is incredibly difficult. We struggle to find enough water, often having to carry heavy gallons from far away. The toilet situation is dire too – just one for 250 people in the camp.

With no electricity or gas, we rely on wood fires for cooking. But gathering enough wood is a constant challenge. Our living conditions are so bad that even animals would struggle to survive here.

My biggest worry is for my children. They've lost their education and the chance to play like other kids. Sometimes, I can't even find enough food to feed them properly.

But amidst all this hardship, there's a glimmer of hope. I appeal to you for assistance. We desperately need your support to cover travel expenses and seek refuge in a safer place. Your generosity could make all the difference for my family. Thank you for considering our plea.
