</div>
<div>On the morning of October 7, I awoke to a tumultuous turn of events unfolding around me. With uncertainty gripping the streets, I made the decision to remain indoors, deeming it the safest refuge to safeguard my life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For two months, I remained confined within the walls of my home, gripped by the fear that venturing outside would expose me to peril.
</div>
<div>With our lives hanging by a thread, my family and I made the difficult decision to relocate to the Al-Mawasi area, overlooking the sea.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We cannot remain in my home due to the incessant, terrifying sounds that rattled its very foundation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Orders from the military to evacuate the area only intensified my apprehension. Amidst the chaos, my primary concern remained the safety of my home, fervently hoping that it would remain unscathed amidst the upheaval.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Winter compounded our plight with relentless rain and biting winds, leaving us vulnerable to the elements without adequate resources to stave off the cold. Tragically, the militarized closure of our area prevented us from returning to salvage the remaining necessities from our home. To my dismay, I later learned that our house lay in ruins, obliterated beyond recognition.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Feelings of despair and frustration engulfed me as I grappled with the helplessness of being caught in circumstances beyond my control.
</div>
<div>Fleeing the horrors of war, death, and unfathomable destruction, my family and I sought refuge in Egypt, armed with a meagre sum of 15,000 dollars in search of safety. Our small group, comprising my mother, brother, his wife, and their infant daughter, embarked on a journey fraught with uncertainty and fear.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Currently, we reside in rented accommodations, desperately striving to navigate our way out of this harrowing predicament and begin anew. As a special education teacher, the conflict robbed me of my sole means of livelihood. Even in the event of peace, the revival of educational opportunities will likely be a protracted process, prolonging our financial instability.
</div>
<div>With a heart weighed down by a mix of hope and despair, I reach out to you from Gaza, specifically Khan Yunis. Our city has been engulfed in the relentless horrors of war, leaving behind a landscape of desolation and despair. The devastation inflicted upon our homes and lives is beyond comprehension, and the urgency of our plight cannot be overstated.
</div>
<div>I humbly appeal to your generosity and kindness to consider extending a helping hand to us. Even the smallest contribution can make an immense difference in our lives amidst the overwhelming challenges we face.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While we understand that the world is fraught with its own difficulties, we hold onto hope that you possess the capacity to assist us through this dark and trying period.
</div>

<div><strong> اسمي أحمد الآغا، وأنا شخص من ذوي الإعاقة السمعية. قبل بداية النزاع، كرست عامين كمتطوع في جمعية الأمل للصم</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>طموحي هو الحصول على وظيفة كمعلم تربية خاصة، متخصص في العمل مع الطلاب الصم واستخدام لغة الإشارة كوسيلة للتواصل</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>في صباح يوم 7 أكتوبر، استيقظت على الأحداث التي تتكشف من حولي. مع حالة عدم اليقين التي تسيطر على الشوارع، اتخذت قرارًا بالبقاء في المنزل، معتبره أنه الملاذ الأكثر أمانًا لحماية حياتي</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>لمدة شهرين، بقيت محبوسًا داخل جدران منزلي، يسكنني الخوف من أن المغامرة بالخارج قد تعرضني للخطر</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>حيث أصبحنا لم نستطع ان نبقى في منزلنا أكثر من ذلك بسبب الأصوات المرعبة المتواصلة التي تهز المنزل</strong>
</div>
<div><strong> وبينما كانت حياتنا معلقة بخيط رفيع، جمعنا على عجل اتخذت أنا وعائلتي القرار الصعب بالانتقال إلى منطقة المواصي المطلة على البحر </strong>
</div>
<div><strong> وأدت أوامر الجيش بإخلاء المنطقة إلى تفاقم مخاوفي. وفي خضم الفوضى، ظل همي الأساسي هو سلامة منزلي، وآمل بشدة أن يظل سالمًا </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>لقد أدى فصل الشتاء إلى تفاقم محنتنا بسبب الأمطار الغزيرة والرياح العاتية، مما جعلنا عرضة للعوامل الجوية دون موارد كافية لدرء البرد. ومن المؤسف أن المنطفة اصبحت مغلقة عسكريا و منعنا من العودة لنأخذ ما تبقى من الضروريات في منزلنا. ومما أزعجني أنني علمت لاحقًا أن منزلنا كان في حالة خراب، وقد تم طمسه بشكل لا يمكن التعرف عليه</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>لقد اجتاحتني مشاعر اليأس والإحباط، حيث كنت أتصارع مع العجز الناتج عن الوقوع في ظروف خارجة عن إرادتي</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>هربًا من أهوال الحرب والموت والدمار الذي لا ينتهي، لجأت أنا وعائلتي إلى مصر، وتم دفع مبلغ وقدره خمسة عشر ألف دولار بحثًا عن الأمان، المكونة من أمي وأخي وزوجته وابنتهما الرضيعة في رحلة محفوفة بالخوف </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>حاليًا، نحن نقيم في مسكن مستأجر، ونسعى جاهدين للخروج من هذا المأزق المروع والبدء من جديد. باعتباري معلم تربية خاصة، سلبني الصراع مصدر رزقي الوحيد. وحتى في حالة السلام، فإن إحياء الفرص التعليمية من المرجح أنه سوف يأخذ وقتا </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>بقلب مثقل بمزيج من الأمل واليأس، أتواصل معكم من غزة، وتحديدًا من خان يونس. لقد غمرت مدينتنا أهوال الحرب التي لا هوادة فيها، تاركة وراءها مشهدًا من الخراب واليأس</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>أناشد بكل تواضع كرمكم ولطفكم للنظر في مد يد العون لنا. حتى أصغر مساهمة يمكن أن تحدث فرقًا هائلاً في حياتنا وسط التحديات الهائلة التي نواجهها. وبينما ندرك أن العالم محفوف بصعوباته، فإننا نتمسك بالأمل في أن تمتلك القدرة على مساعدتنا خلال هذه الفترة </strong>
