Hello, I am Sarah from the Gaza Strip, specifically the city of Rafah. I am married and have two children, Dima and Salem. My husband’s name is Awad, he is 35 years old. Everyone knows what happened to us from the unjust war that has been going on for two years. Unfortunately, we lost everything we own, our home, my husband’s work, and our city, Rafah, specifically, was completely destroyed and became uninhabitable. My family and I were displaced from our city and left it on Monday, May 6, 2024, to the city of Khan Yunis. Then we were displaced again to the area that is claimed to be safe west of Khan Yunis (Al-Mawasi) in the tents. Unfortunately, our situation has worsened and there is suffering from bombing on one hand and hunger and lack of food on the other. On Sunday, August 3, 2025, my daughter Dima and I were injured after a place next to our tent was targeted. Unfortunately, some shrapnel remained in my feet and my daughter’s body. On Monday, June 14, 2025, he was also injured in his thigh while going to the American aid location to bring food for my children and my husband’s parents, whom he also supports.
