Hello,my name is Sahar l live in Berlin;

l set up this site to help my sister Alaa and her famiely(her husband and her children).

I am Alaa a Palestinian English teacher from Gaza a mother of twins boys Asser&Majed 4 years who exist in a picture and her husband is a dental technical. All of my family members are have a high education and because of the war all are lost their jobs.

With great sadness,I'm reaching out to you today for help getting my family members out of Gaza.l lost my uncle last weeks and i don't want lose my family also .

As you know there is a war in Gaza and we lost everything in this war,including our businesses and homes.

During the war, i and my family moved from gaza to khan younis then to Rafah in a tent in a trying to escape from the bombing and destruction ,now we live difficult conditions ,no safe, no medicine, no food.we are now living in a tent in a street,and we do not have anywhere to live.

The news channels can't convey a full picture of what we live in Gaza, the news and social media can't convey what we felt when we left our homes and our city ,can't convey the feelings of sad and fear when my twins cry when bombing happens , when we lost everything, when my children feel a fear when they hear the sound of stray dogs when it passes by the tent, when they feel cold because of coolness of the tent!

I would like to tell you about a small part of our daily life in this war that destroyed everything in ourselves. We do not sleep at night for half an hour straight because we wake up every now and then to the sound of a missile or the sound of artillery, so we wake up terrified and terrified, but when the sun begins to rise, you cannot bear to You sit for one minute in the tent because of the intense heat and the flies and insects that fill the place. However, if we decide to eat breakfast (if there is food), you need 100$ to eat breakfast, and we do not have this amount, of course, as it may amount to the price of one tomato here in Gaza. Due to the war, it is $20, while one cucumber is $15, and one potato may be $25, if at all. Therefore, for the past 10 months, we have relied on eating only canned food, which weakened our bodies and exhausted our hearts and minds.As for the water that we drink, it is polluted and we extract it from seawater and then sterilize it using the primitive means that are available to us.

This food that we eat everyday actually is a helpings also from the countries that support Gaza!

Tell the world about the heat of the tent..

He who punishes everything; The color of our skin, our feelings, our dreams, the colors of our clothes, the stacked bottles of deodorant, the lipstick and eyeliner pencils that I still have for 9 months without using them, just to remind myself that I am still a woman.

Moving in the tent from one corner to another, we look like a piece of snack being fried in hot oil. Sweat covers our features, until we taste its salt. It burns our eyes, turns on the strands of our hair that were not preceded by oil baths and health routines, and destroys the pores of our skin that has only been accustomed to care and pampering.In the tent everything is very hot: the mattress, the pillow, the blanket, the water jug, the cups, the plates, the sand, the towel, the only chair in the tent, even the drinking water that is supposed to reduce the severity of the heat is very hot to the point where you see bubbles rising. From the only stainless steel cup standing on the floor of the tent. In the heat of the tent, your body turns into a fingerprint device for ants, mosquitoes, flies, fleas, heat pellets, and other things.

In the heat of the tent, you are surrounded by lizards, mice, scorpions, and insects of all kinds that you have never known before.

In the heat of the tent, no one can maintain his original nature. The calm person is no longer calm, nor the dreamer a dreamer, nor the obedient person obedient, and it is rare to find a person who maintains the level of his understanding of others as it was before.

In the heat of the tent, you will suffer from headaches, low or high blood pressure, all kinds of pimples, kidney problems, bone pain, and body wilting.

And general laziness that you cannot overcome and helpless crying wheever

you feel suffocated in your torrent of sweat. Dear reader when you read what we write about tent life, you have to adjust your seat, stare at the words carefully, and open your mind to something new that you might be able to imagine, but you will never succeed!Now, after all these difficult events that we are going through, we cannot live here and we want to leave this country. The sounds of explosions and bombing do not stop, and the crying and fear in my heart and the heart of my children does not stop either. Please help us get out and travel from here. The cost of travel for an adult ranges from $5,000 to $7,000, and for my husband as well. The cost is the same, but the cost for my children is $3,000 per child This means that we need $20,000 to exit the Rafah crossing gate only, especially the costs of living in Egypt. We do not know where we will get it from, and now we do not have a single dollar. We have lost everything in this damned war. Please, please, we do not have time. Help me collect the required amount. Because the Rafah crossing will reopen at the end of July, please save Alaa’s family and preserve the lives of Aser and Majed.

Finally,I am not accustomed to asking anyone,but now l need you to help me and help my family to move out of Gaza. We lost all our sourcse of income ,so we will not be able to travel anywhere to leave Gaza.

Please help me collect the application fees and travel cost for my family.

Your support ,whatever it small,makes a big differnce .

I hope in God and you and hand in hand towards reach to my goal and travel from here.

Important notice you have to know that the airport is closed because of the military operation on Rafah and when it end it will open again, and now we use donations of my link for buying our daily needs, our food (if that was is available),treatment for my children ,clothes if we need that and we buy a small tent to live in it ,so every 1$ can make all difference for us,don't forget us,don't leave us alone, we need your help and your support to save us from this horrible war. Please don't leave us alone we die in every moment passing here.

This my home befor and after and my twins befor this horrible war
