Hi, I'm from Gaza, and I'm starving.

It's been since October 2023, and our situation in Gaza has only worsened. I'm 25 years old, and along with my family, I'm doing all I can to survive these harsh days. However, as the genocide is still ongoing, nothing of the basic needs of survival enters the strip, and now, if we don't get killed by a bomb or tank shell, we are being killed by the starvation forced on us and our children. The situation here has gotten to the point that we are heavily dragging ourself in order to walk - because of hunger and extreme malnutrition. People in my family are passing out, falling to the ground because they are starving. Kids here are dying, we are living extremely critical moments.

Essential goods - if found in the market - are ridiculously expensive. Flour, lentils, baby milk and safe water are all luxuries, yet it's impossible to live without. Mosquitoes are eating us in the tents, under extreme heat, and no shelter against rain, nor the heat of the sun. People here, such as my cousins, uncles and aunts, faint out sometimes more than once a day. Others are getting shot trying to get humanitarian aid, and by that, killed, with their only crime trying to provide anything for their children.

Donations will be used to purchase the essential, basic needs of survival that can be found in the market, such as flour, lentils, water, wood and clothing In addition to that, donations will also be used to help provide for orphaned children, and other people here that are in need.

Money will be withdrawed to a Norwegian bank account specific for this fundraiser, and transferred to my Bank of Palestine account. From there, money will be withdrawed from beneficiary, and distributed as written. My family that will be benefitted from the funds consists of my four siblings, my uncle, aunts and grandparents, in addition to others in need in our neighborhood in the middle of Gaza City.

With your help, we can get a slightly wider chance to survive this, as things are getting dark now. We are standing in front of a forced mass starvation of 2 million people, in front of the eyes of the world. So I would like to thank you in advance, and your help is really appreciated, every cent counts...

We really wish for this cruel war to end,

sincerely,

Thank you.
