Hello, I am Bahaa from Gaza, I am 27 years old.

I graduated from Gaza University with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, I have been through five wars including this one, but this is the worst.

We are a family of 8 members, my youngest brother is Ibrahim who is not more than three years old, we are trying to get our lives back without my father and my brother Mohammed. My family and I have lived through times full of bombing, displacement, homelessness, fear, suffering, destruction, pain, famine, food shortages, unsanitary water, and the spread of diseases and epidemics. In addition to all of this, our home was destroyed and we lost all the beautiful memories and wonderful times.

Since we moved to live in the Mawasi area on the sea inside the tents, we have been suffering every day from the intense heat, biting insects, flies, mice, ants, the very salty and polluted water, and the uncleanliness of the food. We also suffer in the winter from the severe cold and heavy rainfall that leads to us drowning. My family is still in dire need of many basic necessities, such as food, cleaning supplies, cooking gas, clean water, and others, the prices of which have become very high and my family can no longer afford them.

I am trying with all our might to secure a decent life for my family, my mother and my orphan sisters, as I am the sole breadwinner for my family after the death of my father and my brother Mohammed, but I cannot do it alone. I humbly ask you to try to donate as much as you can to help my family and my orphan sisters in the most difficult times and circumstances we are going through.

Your generosity is vital for our survival, helping us survive.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart,

-Bahaa
