<div>I’m Asmaa Sheikh Youssef, I am 21 years old.
</div>
<div>I was waiting for October 30, to start my life with my lover and partner, Ahmed, to start a family, grow our business in the media, and create the happy life that we had hoped for and planned for, but the war came on October 7th, and this joy was not complete. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Each one of us is separated in a city. The means of communication and transmission were cut off during the days, and we did not know how to check on each other. Whether they are live or not.
</div>
<div>After a month of war, my family and I were displaced to Deir al-Balah, “the city where Ahmed is located.”
</div>
<div>Finally, we met.
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We kept waiting for the war to end so that we could get engaged and go back to establishing our lives again because the house that we had prepared was destroyed by the occupation.
</div>
<div>Our work stopped, everything ended, and the war did not end.
</div>
<div>We decided to get engaged anyway at the end of January. 
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The marriage ceremony was held in a stone-making factory under the title “Whoever I Love I Will Sacrifice”
</div>
<div>Unfortunately, Ahmed and I became separated again, and borders and countries became between us.
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our dreams began to fade or we began to forget them because the only dream currently, with the scale of the massacres, is that Ahmed survives and we can meet again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ahmed was the first person who encouraged me to start creating content, and he supervised the entire video until he encouraged me to break the barrier of shyness with people.
</div>
<div>We were able to follow up together because we are in the same area, despite all the circumstances, limitations, and lack of capabilities in Deir al-Balah. 
</div>
<div>The day of my travel came up and it was surprising. I refused to go out because I was afraid to leave Ahmed alone in danger.
</div>
<div>But I survived and started communicating with Ahmed so that we could complete the things we started together. We no longer knew how to communicate. The internet was very bad and there was no electricity and everything went backward.
</div>
<div>I began to feel everything in spirit, perhaps before I was thinking about the idea of ​​existence because of my accomplishments all the time with Ahmed and his encouragement to me. Today, every 4 days I know how to communicate with him for an average of half an hour. I have developed a feeling of failure in saving my other half. Continuing what I love to do, until I complete my life, all the time I suffer, fear, and think.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The worst feeling I have ever experienced is psychologically, mentally and physically 
</div>
<div>It is the night of heavy targeting and bombing of Deir al-Balah.
</div>
<div>I am trying to check on Ahmed my fiancée, but he does not have the Internet or any communication.
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I stay up all night watching the news and wait for an opportunity to open the internet to reassure me that he is okay
</div>
<div>I hope that I will be the reason for Ahmed's survival and safety.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for all your support this would change our lives if you reunite two couple 
</div>
<div> together.
