I am Amal from Gaza. I am married and I have three children, Nada, Khaled, and Nazir (the two pictures in the campaign). I finished my university studies, and so did my husband. My husband lost his job in 2018 after the events of the return marches east of Gaza.
My child Khaled suffered from hearing loss when he was two years old...and here our first problems began...due to the high cost and loss of tools...and the deprivation of travel due to the blockade imposed on us since 2006...and we have lived through many wars...but we have not lived through a war like this... My brother Muhammad and 10 others were killed at the beginning of the war, and my house was bombed. We left northern Gaza. And now we are in the hell of Rafah, which is inhabited by a million and a half people. Here an egg is worth perhaps four dollars. Perhaps the most difficult life in history. Death from all directions. My child has a cochlear implant and there is no treatment for him after the bombing and destruction of Hamad Hospital, where my child Khaled was being treated. And now we do not have money in light of this high cost.
Here there is no life. We do not know how to live until the next day. Every day a great massacre and many problems happen here. You are afraid to leave the house because you are afraid to die outside the house. Here there is nothing comfortable. No sleep. There is no food, drink, or medicine. I now want to complete the treatment of my child Khaled. He has been receiving treatment for three years. We want to escape from here and go to a safe place. We do not know where. We just want to be alive. But My life is full of sad and tiring details.. 170 days and the killing still does not stop.. and displacement and starvation.. My family in northern Gaza, I swear to you, now they cannot find water.. We know that this world will not do us justice. I just want to be alive and safe, with my family. I want you to stand by my side.
Please donate to help my family to flee to Egypt where at least, we won't be starving and "israeli" bombs and bullets don't risk killing us. Thank you.
