Hi, I’m Anas Shaqoura. I created this page to seek help for my family and me to escape Gaza. All I wanted last year was to continue my studies. I just turned 18 on November 28th, and I have only one year of school left. However, if we remain in Gaza, we risk losing all the years of education we've worked so hard for. The occupation forces have destroyed not only our homes but also our hopes.

There are no universities left in Gaza where I can complete my studies. My parents have sacrificed everything for us, giving up work to support our education, even though it's incredibly expensive. The war has taken everything: our warm home that united us, our dreams, and our sense of security.

Our family's first hope is to survive, and our second is to leave Gaza so that we can complete our education and support our beloved parents, who have sacrificed so much for us. We are deeply grateful for any support you can provide, no matter how small. Your kindness truly means the world to us, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

On November 30th, we traveled from Nuseirat to Khan Younis. Thanks to your generous donations, we were able to buy small amounts of food and winter clothing. However, our current situation remains cold, wet, and very miserable. Every night, we go to bed with hunger pangs.

What we need most urgently now is flour, food, and clean water to sustain us in the uncertain days ahead. Inshallah, we pray for freedom and safety soon.

We are profoundly thankful for your compassion and generosity. One day, we hope to repay your kindness in any way we can.

Sincerely,

The Shaqoura Family
