Hello, this video was filmed by my wife at the beginning of the second day of the war. My wife and four children were alone. At home, two days later, the house was bombed. But my wife and children were heading to the city of Rafah to escape from the north. This is how my children live in Gaza. Please stand by me.

Mahmoud has lived in Belgium for 7 years to support his family and has not seen his wife and children since he left Gaza. his wife has chronic kidney issues and requires urgent medical treatment, which is not available in Gaza. this fundraiser has been stagnating even though it is very close to its goal: €20,917 / €25,000

DO NOT SCROLL AWAY!!!

HELLO EVERYONE, @shahednhall has contacted me to help spread their campaign to get their family out to safety. They are a beautiful family and have already lost so much due to the genocide.

They have lost their family, their home, their warmth, their safety, their dreams and hopes. please find it in your heart to donate.

I am Mohammad Hussein Ismail, a 23-year-old Palestinian from Gaza, reaching out to you during these unimaginably difficult times. My life and that of my family have been profoundly changed by the war, and today I write to you, hoping for your support and assistance.

My Family 🕊️❤️

My family consists of five members: my mother Raja (51 years old), my father Hussein (58 years old), my sister Iman (18 years old), and my younger sister Noor (13 years old). We used to live a simple life filled with hope and ambition before the war turned our lives upside down.

On a grim night at the onset of the war, our neighborhood was relentlessly bombed. The blasts shook our home, compelling us to flee into the darkness, navigating through sporadic explosions, desperately seeking safety. By morning, we reached southern Gaza, seeking refuge in Rafah, our hearts heavy with sorrow for what we had lost. 🕊️🍉🗝️

In this brutal war, my father was injured, severing tendons in his finger due to relentless bombardment. Due to malnutrition and rampant diseases, my sister Iman contracted hepatitis, exacerbating our suffering. We endured the cold winter within the confines of a tent, and the scorching summer heat as well, trapped inside due to harsh weather conditions. Unable to stay together as a family, we were forced to scatter and flee once again from Rafah due to intense shelling, seeking refuge in Deir al-Balah within the Gaza Strip, where our struggles continued in search of safety and hope for survival.🕊️🍉🗝️

Now displaced, we endure an immensely challenging life, filled with hardships. We struggle tirelessly to prepare food over open fires, to fetch water, and even find a place to sleep. We've lost the basic comforts of life. Due to inadequate shelter, severe infections have ravaged my body, and I've grown exhausted in the quest for treatment amidst the scarcity of medicine.🕊️🍉🗝️

Our plight is desperate, and we implore your support to rebuild our shattered lives and secure a future for our family. Your kindness and generosity can bring about a profound change. Your contributions will provide us with the means to find safe shelter, access essential medical care, and obtain the basic necessities of life we so desperately need.🕊️🍉🗝️

I had an old account that was deleted, and I am pleading for your help in sharing the new one. Our only hope is that you can help my family survive this brutal war. 💔🙏🌹

Please, we plead for your help during this critical time. Every donation, regardless of its size, brings us closer to safety, stability, and the opportunity to rebuild our shattered lives.🙏🌹

"No Injuries" is a perplexing phrase that emerged during the ongoing genocidal war in Gaza. In the early days of the war when I was in Gaza, multiple friends outside Gaza made Facebook posts about their families that ended with the phrase "No injuries".

Very confused, the first troubling thought that popped up in my head was "Is that good news or bad news?" On face value, it seems like good news, but being a person from Gaza, you know that there is no more devastating and soul-crushing news than "No injuries".

Have you ever experienced transitioning from having a sense of relief followed by extreme shock and heartache just in a few seconds? A few seconds took me to realize that the intended meaning was that every single freaking one was killed in cold blood at the press of a button in the airstrike! Men, women, children! Everyone!!

How does one live after receiving such news? What is the point of living once you lose every single one of your family--parents, brothers, sisters, wife, and children? What kind of dreams do you aspire for? What is the point of getting out of bed in the morning? What is the point of working? What is the point of existing?!

A person has to do whatever it takes to save his/her family. Please help me get my family to safety in Egypt until there is a ceasefire hopefully soon.
