I’m Qasem, from Gaza, now a student in Germany. I’m writing to ask for your support to help my family survive the genocide in Gaza.
I was born and raised in Rafah and moved to Germany 3 years ago to study. My entire family is still in Gaza, living in catastrophic conditions. Our home was completely destroyed, and we couldn’t even repay the debts we incurred when we built it in 2018.
We are a family of 9 people, who have lost everything and have nowhere to live because of the genocide in the Gaza Strip. My family is currently seeking shelter in a tent, as living conditions continue to worsen due to lack of clean water to drink or bathe, extreme scarcity of food — and what little food is available has become extremely expensive. The poor living conditions have led to a high outbreak of illnesses and diseases without functional hospitals or resources to treat them.
The Israeli occupation continues to attack so-called “safe zones” where they direct refugees to flee to. There are no “safe” zones in Gaza.
Many of my dear friends and family have been martyred by bombs and attacks by the IOF. I am deeply worried for my family’s safety and am seeking your support to help them survive.
I need to evacuate my family, which comes at an extremely high cost of $10,000 per person. Until I am able to evacuate them, I need to send them money for food and basic supplies.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. Please consider to donate — every donation helps — or continue to share my family’s story.
Blessings,
Qasem
