Restore hope for us in the Gaza Strip after we have been scattered in every direction

I won't keep you long. Here are the facts:

Anas Shaban is an electrical engineer and journalist from the Gaza Strip, holding a Master's degree in Business Administration.

Anas Shaban is a community activist and Palestinian writer with dozens of blogs and literary poems.

Anas lost half of his family as martyrs, including his father, sister, uncle, his sister's husband and their children, as well as his grandmother.

He and his family have been displaced 10 times in southern area of Gaza Strip.

They have survived multiple recent massacres in Deir AlBalah.

They live in a tent that feels like a "convection oven".

He can hear tank fire across the street.

Yesterday, I said farewell to my father, a martyr, and today we bid farewell to your father, also a martyr.

My father was a tailor, earning his livelihood by weaving fabrics and clothes, and your father was a driver navigating the alleys of the camp. But it is a war of extermination that spares no one. I will be your father, husband, and friend.

Please support us in the campaign so we can save the rest of my family who are suffering immensely from the war in Gaza.
