<div>My youngest brother Ahmed, just turned 17. Ahmed has always been passionate about learning. He excelled in his studies over the years, but now he's been deprived of completing his education, and we don't know how long this deprivation will last. It's heart-breaking to see him at the beginning of his life journey, yet uncertain about his future. A 18 year old boy , all the academic plans he had collapsed Infront of his eyes.

<div>My brother Mohammed, who is six years older than Ahmed, couldn't finish his university studies after being in his final year. Who dreamt of being able to graduate like any normal student after the years of studying at university wanted to feel the joy of graduating and accomplishment.

<div>My sisters, Aseel and Suheir, lost their jobs because of the war. Aseel used to work as a software engineer, developing applications, while Suheir was a teacher for children. We don't know how long they will remain unemployed after their workplaces were destroyed.

<div>My family has endured incredibly difficult circumstances during the war. We lost our aunt, her daughter, and her husband , then our own home, which my father had saved all his earnings to build over the years, and we couldn't even live in it. can you imagine all the hard work for years , was gone.
</div>
<div>As if that wasn't enough, the entire neighbourhood where we lived, where I spent all stages of my life until leaving Gaza, was destroyed. Every single childhood memory was in that neighbourhood.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My family has moved multiple times during the war, and before that, we had other families who had fled to us for shelter. I will explain to you in more detail about what my family experienced during the war : On the tenth day of this relentless war, we received the heart-breaking news of my aunt and her daughter's martyrdom. They became victims among 160 others in the same second, in the same neighbourhood.
</div>
<div>Our home welcomed several relatives, turning it into a refuge for three families. Living through difficult days with shells near their window and scarce food and cooking gas for all.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/77363733_1745845086683138_r.jpeg" width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>our area declared a dangerous combat zone, forcing them to seek refuge in a school ill-equipped for human living. Amid overflowing waste and hours of waiting for an unclean restroom, the school lacked clean water or sanitation facilities. Purchasing water became a necessity.
</div><img alt="77363733_1710782223336653_r.jpg" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/77363733_1710782223336653_r.jpg" width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After ten days, the area was declared a dangerous combat zone again, compelling them to move to my aunt's house, accommodating two displaced families in addition to my family. During their stay, videos arrived depicting our neighbourhood's destruction, the buildings we grew up in demolished without a clear reason. The scene was sorrowful and terrifying.
</div><img alt="77363733_1710782268452828_r.jpg" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/77363733_1710782268452828_r.jpg" width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In the midst of this grief, on their last night at my aunt's house, explosions and the sounds of occupation marches echoed above them , prompting their third displacement into the unknown. With a considerable sum, they found a truck to transport them to Rafah.
</div>
<div>Arriving at Rafah's shore hungry and with no place to sleep, they were given a small tent for one night, insufficient for all of them. One of my siblings had to sleep outside on the cold beach sands.
</div>
<div>They built a tent at a cost of around $500, equivalent to my mother's monthly salary in normal months.
</div>
<div>The shared bathroom lacked basic amenities, and rainwater seeped into our tent.
</div>
<div>News reached us that the house my father invested in, and we were about to move into, had turned into rubble.
</div>
<div>Having lost everything in Gaza, we seek assistance to escape this war and breathe a sigh of relief.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have nothing in this world that is half as important as my family, and because I don't want to see them displaced for the fourth time amidst the flames of occupation, and because we have lost everything we own in Gaza, and to ensure that my siblings do not lose their chance to build a secure future, we need help to get an amount that will help them get out of this war.
</div>
<div>that donation might save a life. Thank you.
