Urgent Appeal: Safe My Family In Gaza

My name is Yassen Al Shanti, I'm 44. I lived with my family in Gaza strip, and we consist of six members.

I have three beautiful daughters and only a son. My elder girl Hayat, she is 16. The middle one is called Sammer, and she has 14 years ( she is a deaf). The younger one is Raghad she has 10 years.My only son called Ahmed, and he has 4 years old (he is a deaf).

My wife called Mayssa. She is 42 years old.

In the beginning, I don't have any job, and my wife lost her job as a teacher in high school. Unfortunately, our dear home was demolished by Israeli occupation.

Before this war, we had very beautiful life with our family and friends, but now we have been displaced many times. The last station was here in Rafah.

We are struggling a lot because now we are living in a tent in a school, which doesn't protect us from winter cold.

As a father I feel helpless because of seeing my family in a tragic situation and I can't do nothing to them. Right now we need to travel because my only son needs urgently operation to cultivate a cochlea before he loses reputation forever.

In these circumstances, I'm suffering to provide mineral water free of salts because Ahemd lives with only one kidney since his birth

Beside that, my daughter Samar, as I mentioned before she is a deaf and she needs special care. Her school ( Our Children Are Deaf) has destroyed by Israeli rockets. She doesn't have any school to go for. Raghad, a ten-year-old girl.She became infected with hepatitis A, and there is no hospital for treatment. Hayat is a diligent student who needs to complete her education because her school was destroyed and her innocent dreams of becoming a future doctor were shattered. All she wants is her right to education and to live in a peace.

With all these obstacles, I can't ensure enough money to travel, which needs around $5000-7000 per person. I'm afraid of losing my family.

All I want is to save my dear family's life and do urgently operation to my only son, which costs nearly $10,000 and provides a secure life without displacement, murder and destruction

Please donate to help us escape this bitter life!

With sincere gratitude,

Yassen Alshanti
