‏Hello .

‏I’m Mera Alashqar, an 19 year-old palestinian girl.

‏As you all know the conflict that’s happening now in my home land basically in Gaza strip where my 6 family members and I live.Unfortunately, we had to evacuate from Northern Gaza to Rafah with no clothes, no food , no shelter leaving everything behind us and running in a hope to find a safe place but we didn't find a safe place.

Our home got damaged .The whole building was burned, as you can see in the cover photo.

‏My father lost his job, my two sisters Sarah (26 years) and Dana( 22 years) lost their job and college as well.

I just graduated from high school with score 99% so I didn’t even have the opportunity to go to college. My little brothers Mohammed (17 years) and Rakan (15 years) have no schools to continue their education.

In other words, we all lost our future, our dreams, our ambitions and what we hope for . We live in the country of war, we live and suffer all kinds of torment. We do not have a life or future. We lost our most basic rights.

‏I was hesitant to make this link, but things didn't get any better after 300 days of the continuous war on Gaza, but rather it got worse.

So I made this to help me and my family get out of Gaza strip and continue our life in a suitable circumstances.
