Hi, my name is Gerard Feeney from Ireland. I am trying to raise funds to help Yousef and Yazan find a safer future away from the bombs and destruction in Gaza.

Yazan, who is 3, is one of the lucky children in Gaza. Early on in the war he ended up in hospital being treated for shock from the constant bombing in Rafah. He later contracted suspected Hepatitis A from drinking contaminated water. His brother, Yousef, 6, also ended up contracting Hepatitis A. That is how things are in Gaza for children. The lucky ones are ONLY traumatised by the effects of the carpet bombing, or sick from dirty water, not maimed or killed. Yazan and his brother Yousef, live with their parents, Mahmoud and Doaa, in the southernmost part of Gaza, in the supposed safe zone of Rafah. Mahmoud and Doaa are highly educated, hardworking, genuine people. Their jobs are gone now. Neither has ever been outside the 25 miles by 5 miles prison that is Gaza. Their lives are in constant danger of being terminated by the indiscriminate bombing they endure every day now. Meanwhile, they scramble for food, queue for water, queue for everything. Everything is Gaza is an extortionate price now. Eggs are €3 EACH, nappies are €70, 1 kg bag of rice is €50. The only meat that is safe to eat is lamb because you can watch the lamb being slaughtered! One kg is €30. Where the other meat comes from, God only knows! And they're the lucky ones.

I am please asking you to help them start a new life outside Gaza, so their children get the opportunity to escape the regular wars Mahmoud and Doaa have endured throughout their lives. With your support, we can help them to feed their children, and plan for a better future for their children outside Gaza after the war.

Thank you for supporting this family.
