<div>My name is Iyad Fares. My wife Lola and I are reaching out to you after much contemplation and hesitation. However, the pressing need to safeguard my family outweighs any reservations. I humbly request your generous support to evacuate myself, my wife, and our four children. We once enjoyed a tranquil and ordinary life, until recent events shattered our peaceful existence, depriving us of our cherished home and the company we envisioned as our haven of serenity, free from fear.

<div>Suddenly, without warning, we found ourselves displaced, like countless others, due to the relentless bombardment of Gaza since October 7th.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We bid farewell to our beloved home, the repository of our fondest and most poignant memories, where echoes of our laughter and tears still resonate in every corner. We reminisce about the moments spent with family, friends, and loved ones. On October 16th, we were devastated to learn that our five-story home had been completely demolished, leaving us homeless.

<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With nothing but the clothes on our backs, our passports, and a few essential documents, we embarked on a journey of displacement from northern Gaza to Gaza City, seeking refuge in the sanctuary of our family's abode. Yet, just two days later, we were compelled to evacuate once more. We sought refuge in Khan Younis, where we endured for a month and a half, only to receive another summons to relocate, this time to the Mawasi area in Rafah. Now, amidst talks of an imminent land invasion in Rafah, uncertainty clouds our future, and we are left pondering where our next refuge will be.

<div><br />
</div>
<div>I urgently implore your assistance in facilitating the evacuation of my family from Gaza, where safety is an elusive dream. Each passing day brings with it the grim toll of disease, particularly hepatitis and gastrointestinal infections, which afflict us all. Our physical and mental well-being hangs precariously in the balance. We find ourselves at a juncture where the prospect of returning to Gaza is bleak, and we await our fate with resignation. Even if hostilities were to cease, the process of rebuilding lives shattered by conflict is a daunting task.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Departing Gaza via the Egyptian border necessitates the costly procedure of enlisting our names through paid company, with fees amounting to $5000 USD per adult and $2500 USD per child. Regrettably, our home and business lie in ruins, their former existence captured only in photographs, leaving us with an uncertain future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your assistance in facilitating our evacuation is deeply appreciated, regardless of the magnitude of your contribution. It will significantly alleviate the burden of our suffering. I urge you to share our plea with your networks, for every moment spent in Gaza poses a mortal threat to our existence. Your compassionate aid during this trying time is a beacon of hope.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for standing in solidarity with us, striving to bring about positive change in our lives.

</div>
<div>اسمي اياد فارس وزوجتي لولا نكتب هذا بعد الكثير من التفكير والتردد ، لكن الحاجة الملحة لإنقاذ عائلتي اكبر من قدرتي، اطلب منكم تبرعكم السخي في اجلائي انا وزوجتي واطفالي الأربعة ، لقد كنا نعيش حياة طبيعية وهادئة ولدينا بيتنا وشركتنا كانت احلامنا بسيطة ان نعيش بسلام وبدون خوف .
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>فجأة بدون سابق إنذار أصبحنا مشردين بلا مأوى مثل كثيرين اخرين بسبب القصف المستمر على غزة منذ ٧ اكتوبر،
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>خرجنا من بيتنا الجميل الحضن الدافئ لنا الذي جمع ذكرياتنا الحلوة والمرة ضحكاتنا وبكانا ، نتذكر كل ركن فيه كيف جلسنا مع أهلنا واصدقائنا واحبائنا .
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>خرجنا بعد اتصال بأخلاء المنطقة ورحلنا لا نحمل معنا شيئ الا الملابس التي نلبسها وجوازات سفرنا وبعض الأوراق المهمة لنبدأ رحلة النزوح من شمال غزة لمدينة غزة في بيت العائلة لتصلنا رسائل بعد يومين بأخلاء المنطقة أيضا وذهبنا لمدينة خان يونس لنمضي بها شهر ونصف ويأتي الاتصال مرة أخرى من جديد لنرحل لمنطقة المواصي برفح والان بعد المحادثات الاخيرة لاجتياح مدينة رفح بريا لا نعرف ماذا ينتظرنا.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>وفي تاريخ 16 اوكتوبر وصلتنا الاخبار المؤلمة بأن تم تدمير منزلنا المكون من 5 طوابق وقد سوي تماما بالارض.
</div>
<div>اطلب منكم بشكل عاجل وبتواضع مساعدتي في اخراج عائلتي من غزة لانه لا يوجد مكان آمن، كل يوم يوجد وفيات بسبب انتشار الأمراض وخصوصا الكبد الوبائي والنزلات المعوية التي اصبنا بها جميعا، أصبحت صحتنا العقلية والبدنية في خطر مستمر ، لقد وصلنا الي نقطة لم يعد فيها امل بالرجوع إلى غزة ونحن ننتظر دورنا بالموت حتى وان توقفت الحرب فإن الأعمار لن يتم بسرعة.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>ان الخروج من غزة مع الحدود المصرية يحتاج لادراج اسمائنا عبر كشوفات مدفوعة لشركة هلا بأسعار ٥٠٠٠ دولار للشخص الكبير و٢٥٠٠ للأطفال .
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>الرجاء المساعدة في اخراجنا وساقدر اي تبرع حتى ولو كان صغيرا سيحدث فرقا كبيرا لدى عائلتي في تخفيف معاناتنا، الرجاء مشاركة حملتنا على نطاق عائلاتكم واصدقائكم في أقرب وقت ممكن لأن كل ثانية نعيشها تمثل خطر الموت لنا في غزة وسأكون ممنون لكم إلى الأبد لمساعدتكم الكريمة في هذا الوقت العصيب.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>شكرا لكم لوقفوفكم معنا لاحداث تغير إيجابي بحياتنا
