Hello

My name is Azra Akhtar and I am fundraising to save the lives of my friends who are in a very critical situation and have no choice but to leave their home. Please read Mohanads story below:

Hello

I am Mohanad from Gaza. My wife has been living with her family since the beginning of the war because I was busy working and bringing you the news from my home town to open the worlds eyes to the atrocities that have been committed against us by the occupational forces.

Their house is in the Al Salam neighborhood, east of Rafah It was destroyed by planes and bombed, and there was no house left My father-in-law died in 2016 of cancer The family consists of 8 people, most of whom are girls Among them, 3 are under 18 years old They don't have a salary No breadwinner and they are totally at their wits end with experiencing pain after pain and loss after loss. There is no food no water no hope no sanity.

They suffer from bad conditions, about ten days ago, the occupation destroyed their house. Never have they felt so broken years and years of memories hours of time spent working to build it brick to brick. Now they live in a tent west of Khan Yunis, accompanied by my wife and daughter Sham.

In addition I have my family; My family consists of 6 people Including my mother, father, and 3 brothers I have a sister and her one-year-old child. She lives with me here and we share her support. Our family is broken shattered and often we despair thinking will this be the final moments we see, homeless and hopeless no food water sanitation or safety. Is this how it’s going to end.

This was my home, my land, my people I would never leave but I’m brought down to my knees when I see the pain suffering of other and worry whether my families fate will be the same.

Here life is treacherous any minute we could lose our life or lose our minds watching our loved ones perish. Only you can save us from the imperative doom and despair. Please donate to my family so they can see days filled with less terror, as what our eyes have seen they cannot unsee, so we will carry eternal terror with us of some form.

In advance I thank you for your love and kindness and generosity thank you for being there and supporting our cause thank you for caring and sharing. If you can’t donate please do share the page so others can.

Many thanks for your support.

Here are some photos of my beautiful family so you know whose smiles your protecting and whose lives your saving
