My name is Diana Darwish, a Palestinian citizen. I was born and raised in the famous Gaza Strip. I am a third-year university student in the College of Engineering. I was unable to complete my studies due to the genocide events in my city.

What is happening in Gaza:

As many of you know from the media, Gaza is facing unprecedented bombardment of the civilian population. More than 30,000 have been killed and 70,000 injured. Both aboveground housing and underground infrastructure have been completely destroyed. More than 90% of Gaza's population lives in tents in the bitter cold as bombs rain down on them. There is no food, drinking water, shelter, or even medical care for the sick, and the most basic necessities of life are diminished.

I ask you to help me and my family to get out of Gaza. We had dreams. Unfortunately, those dreams were killed in the blink of an eye because of the difficult conditions we live in Gaza. They killed our dreams and destroyed our future. My father and my brother lost their jobs. My sisters and I were unable to complete our studies.

We used to live safe and secure in a warm house full of beautiful memories, but we now find ourselves displaced, homeless, and without the minimum necessities of life. We live a life of oppression and misery. We suffer from a lack of food, water, electricity, medicine, and all the necessities of life. Our present and our future are fraught with dangers.

I hesitated a lot before making this link, but my feeling of danger approaching and increasing day after day, and my extreme fear for my family, is what ultimately pushed me to resort to this method after all avenues had been closed in our faces. 

We tried every means to try to get out and save ourselves, but unfortunately all of them failed

My decision to make this decision and my request for your support through this link came because of the high costs required of us to travel and because of the cessation of our financial income ……

A large part of our home has been destroyed, we have lost those dear to us, and we have lost many of our possessions in this war. 

We were patient and endured in the hope of returning and repairing what was corrupted, but unfortunately the war continues and has not stopped, and even if it did stop, we need a lot of time to repair what was corrupted, and now we have no choice but to try to get out. From the Gaza Strip to rebuild our lives, continue our studies, and then return to Gaza if complete calm returns to the area I hope you do not blame us, as the harm has become more severe for us

 With your support and support, 

you can take us to safety

Thank you for your understanding
