My name is Noha, I live in Belgium and I am asking for your urgent assistance to help me rescue my dear childhood friend Eman and her family of 5 from the dire situation in Gaza and to help secure their safe passage to Egypt.

With your support, we can offer them a chance to escape the horrors they are currently enduring in Gaza and create a better future for her and her family.

This is her story ; Eman is an anesthesiologist who lived in the North of Gaza with her husband and 3 children, Joud, karam and sanad. On October 8th, North of gaza was one of the first places to be heavily bombed. Eman and her family's world was shattered in mere moments, her house was demolished by bombs. They were warned last minute while she was working a 24 hour shift at the hospital and had to race home to her children. They were forced to evacuate in less than half an hour and she only able to grab a few belongings, she packed whatever she could get her hands on and fled. Her house was left in ruins and she was left with no place to go to as both her and her husband's families faced similar or worse circumstances. Soon after that, All aspects of their previous lives were shattered to pieces, both of her and her husband's workplaces were destroyed. Her eldest daughter started her first year of primary school this year but only went to school for a month and then her school was also reduced to ashes. Everything that made her everyday life is now gone.

Life in palestine now is unlivable, food is scarce and is 10 times it's original price, water is difficult to reach and safety is non-existant. They had to move from place to place searching for something that resembled safety, living in tents and in conditions she never had to endure before. They had to spend all their life savings to be able to survive these past 6 months. Her 3 children whom were once filled with laughter now suffer panic attacks at the sound of planes overhead and bombs, their clothes are whatever she managed to gather last minute and she fears them getting sick because of unsanitary condtions and scarce hospital facilities. They aren't living, they are barely surviving and survival isn't a given. She wishes to leave her beloved country to offer her children a shot at life and a better future.

Please help me help her, this could have been any of us. Before the war, her life resembled ours and now it has been destroyed.

I have experienced firsthand her family's generosity and kindness. I loved going home with her after school and university and having her mom cook for us. She comes from a warm, loving, kind and educated family. I never would have imagined that this would happen to them, it breaks my heart everyday.

Her situation is time-sensitive, harm could come her way any day and if the war reaches the borders, they will be closed for good, she would be trapped and it would be impossible for her to leave.

It costs 5000 euros per person to cross the border into Egypt so the funds raised would help cover the costs of crossing the border, transportation, coordination fees as well as essential living expenses for a few months in Egypt until they are able to get on their feet.

In the case that we are unable to gather enough funds for their travel across the border, funds will be sent to them to help cover living expenses and help them survive in Gaza.

Every donation, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to our goal. Together, we can make a difference for Eman and her family. Please donate today and share their story with your friends and family. Let's show them that hope still exists, even in the darkest of times.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity.

This is a personal message from Eman,

My name is Eman Almughani,

Anaesthesia doctor at the Indonesian hospital living in North Gaza . I'm living with my husband and 3 kids .

Since the second day of the genocide my warm and lovely house was bombed by tons of missiles , I was left with no place for my kids safety or place to settle in , I had to move couple of times to find safety for my kids which still I haven't found.

My kids are now suffering from panic attacks each time they hear the bombings or see martyrs . They lost all their beloved toys and clothes after the house was bombed , due to bad sanitation and unpurified water they suffered from jaundice (hepatitis A) and due to no available food or fruits and good nutrition they suffer from malnutrition and anemia . Me myself I suffer from severe anemia and dehydration, my skin easily cracks due to dehydration.

My youngest son once fell on the floor on a stone, while he was playing and lost and insicor tooth, I had to aid him alone with whatever I had in the tent , he bled severely and I couldn't suture him because no near hospitals were available , I had to search for a long time to find him antibiotics. We can't sleep at night from the sound of bombings and missile rockets all over, the children are terrified thinking that it's coming towards us and that it's their time to be martyred like their friends.

Plz help me evacuate to Egypt to find safety and stability and to start a new life and end this constant suffering. I wish to find schools for my children before the new academic year starts and to live a dignified life .

I thank each and everyone of you for your generous contribution, big or small, even if you just share this with other people, it would be a great help. This would be life changing for me and my family and it is what gives me hope. I Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Eman Almughani
