I’m The Heart

We hope everyone will help us achieve safety and peace

I am Nevin Al-Sir, I live in Gaza, I am married and trying to help myself, my family and my child escape the war zone.

I was pregnant before the war on Gaza and when the war started the evacuation order came from our house so I moved to my family's house and I felt very tired and exhausted as there were no cars to transport us from one place to another and when my husband and I moved to my family's house the evacuation order came from my family's area so we moved again to a tent and my house and my family's house were destroyed in the bombing and it was very difficult as the weight of the pregnancy increased and the tent was small as I was with my mother and father and my brothers and sisters and their children.

Then I gave birth to my child in a field hospital because the hospitals were out of service and stopped working because of the war. Then we returned again to the tent, where we could not bear the cold of winter because it did not protect me and my child from the rain and cold.

And now I stand and look with regret and pain at our house, where my son was supposed to grow up, feel safe, play and build his childhood memories. But there is no house left, nothing left. Everything has been destroyed.

GoFundMe Campaign Link 🍉 :

I need your help to raise money to leave the Gaza Strip and save my life, my child and my family. To restore and build a beautiful life outside Gaza.

Thank you all

I am Nevin Al-Sir, I live in Gaza, I am 27 years old, I used to work as an accountant in an accounting firm, I am married and have a child, I was also pregnant during the war, the war on Gaza, and when the evacuation order came from our area in Gaza, we fled through the corridor that the occupation lied to us about and the safe corridor was a disaster. We walked on foot, the longest distance I have ever walked in my life. I was displaced to a tent with the rest of my family, and it was very difficult, tiring and exhausting. Every time there was an evacuation in the southern areas, I was forced to evacuate again to a worse tent. Then I gave birth to my child in a field hospital because the hospitals were out of service. I gave birth to my son in the winter, the cold and the war together, which did not destroy my house and my tent. Now we live in a tent, me, my mother, my father, my husband, my brothers, my sisters and their children, and I need your support to try to survive.

Trying to keep this blog more art- and creativity-focused in general, so I'll be removing the Gaza-related reblogs that are about a month old. But I'll use this post as a permanent archive that will update periodically (some of this information will grow dated as the situation develops, but I think it's important to keep a record of just how fiercely opposed people were to Israel's actions from this moment forward). We should all continue to raise our voices about this, and refuse to support politicians who enable genocide. Remember, they work for us, not the other way around. Keep going.
