I am Hoda’s friend Andres from the United States, and I am managing this campaign for her and her family. I will collect the donations and send them to her by bank transfer. Here is her message to you:

Hello friends,

I am Hoda from Gaza, a resident of the city of Khan Yunis. I was displaced from my home on the first of December 2023 to an UNRWA shelter center with my family — my mother, my only brother, and three of my sisters with their daughters. On the twenty-fifth of January, the army took us out of the shelter center without anything with which to continue our lives. We went to live in a tent in the Rafah area, and then recently, we were displaced again to a tent in the Mawasi, Khan Yunis area.

My sister Rahma is pregnant in the ninth month and will give birth soon. The conditions are very bad here, and even worse for a woman giving birth! We went to examine the fetus to the Jordanian field hospital, and they were very courteous in dealing with us, but we have not yet found a hospital in which she can give birth.

My only brother has heart disease. He became ill and very tired in the war, and we took him to the hospital, but we did not find anyone who could help him. Here diseases have spread a lot in the tents, and this affects him.

My father died when I was three years old and I never knew him. My mother is the one who works to provide for us.

We lost our entire home here in Gaza. There is nothing left for us and we ask you respectfully to please help us evacuate

Thank you so much for any contribution no matter the amount,

Hoda
