Help my family to get to a safe place outside Gaza
Donation protected
My name is Doaa. I am from Gaza, where I worked as a reporter until 2018 when I had to leave.
My family--my mother and father, my two sisters, my brother and pregnant sister-in-law--are all besieged in Gaza City.
My family miraculously escaped death after the entire residential area in which they lived was annihilated. They were trapped in place—with multiple family members injured—and surrounded by Israeli tanks for days with no one able to reach them. My father was bleeding severely from a leg injury that needed stitches. My cousin, a six year old girl, died of her wounds as they waited for help.
As this happened and as they called for help from under the rubble, all I could do was sit by the phone and wait until they no longer had signal to contact me.
My family was rescued from this terror but now remains in an incredibly volatile and dangerous situation in Gaza City. They have barely any water or food and suffer from extreme hunger and thirst; they have literally had to consume animal feed to survive. My sister-in-law, who is awaiting the birth of her first child, suffers from malnutrition. Even the medicine my father needs as he has a heart condition is not available! My family does not even have a tent. To protect them from the cold of winter! They are living in the rubble of a partially destroyed house!
I want to help my family survive this terror. Any amount you can give will go to their immediate needs--water, food, my father's medicine, my sister-in-law's pregnancy and childbirth--and, hopefully, to help my family restore all that was destroyed with the destruction of our family home and if they have a chance to moving to save place outside !
