Help Mousa’s family evacuate from gaza

Hello, my name is Mousa Ayman Hamada, 19, from Gaza. I am writing this urgent plea to you whilst danger is surrounding us. I urgently need your support to help my family of 6 escape from Gaza to reach safety. Please take a moment to read about my story…

While the ultimate goal is to fund our escape from Gaza, money raised will also be used for basic and immediate needs, such as food and shelter.

Amidst this unsafe situation in Gaza, which threatens our lives, we hope to safely leave Gaza with my family

so I can continue my university studies abroad,which I aspire to.

The war has hindered my university education by destroying universities in Gaza, setting back my studies by a whole year.

I appeal to you in the name of humanity to rescue my family from the imminent danger we face. Our lives are filled with continuous fear and uncertainty. The machinery of war destroys everything in its path without discrimination, affecting humans, trees, stones, and animals alike.

I write this plea to you now while danger surrounds us. We have been living in constant danger for nearly 9 months, draining our strength and taking our loved ones. This war has thrown us back to ancient times with the lack of water, electricity, fuel, food, and drink.

We left our home in Gaza and sought refuge in Rafah, fleeing from danger to a safer place. We live a homeless life without a source of income to sustain us, which has affected the way we used to live.

The difficulties we face during this continuous displacement for nearly 9 months include my younger sister, Lina. At the age of two, she was diagnosed with autism by doctors. We began her treatment and she has been growing gradually. Due to the lack of her specific medications in Gaza, we used to send to neighboring countries like Egypt or ask our friends in European countries to send her medications. She has joined the "Saji Center" for children facing learning difficulties in Gaza. During the war, her health deteriorated due to the unavailability of medications and the destruction of specialized centers. We want to take her out of Gaza to continue her treatment.

Our cat, Micho, has been a part of our family since she was very young. We faced many difficulties in providing her with the necessities of life, such as her food and routine medications prescribed by her veterinarian. Our cat suffered greatly from the terrifying sounds of airplanes and intense shelling, causing her anxiety and stress. Despite this, we still try to keep her safe and provide for her needs amidst the difficult conditions we live in because she has become a part of our family.

To be able to leave the danger zone in Gaza,

we must cross the borders and exit Gaza amidst the severe destruction of all life facilities. The war has continued unabated, necessitating our departure from Gaza as soon as possible due to the danger surrounding us from all sides. To cross the Egyptian border, our names must be included in the crossing list (paid permit) through coordinators in Egypt. They demand $5,000 per person from my family to add our names to the border list, and they won't include us until we prove that we have the money.

Your donation, no matter how small, will have a significant impact. It will help us reach safety. The funds will be used transparently and clearly. Every contribution from you will be used towards our evacuation.

Your support means a lot to us, more than you can imagine, and we will be extremely grateful for any assistance during these difficult circumstances.

Once again, heartfelt thanks for your compassion and support for my family.

Best regards,

Mousa Hamada
