Evacuation Fundraiser

This is Khaled's story:

Hello, my name is Khaled and I am 31 years old. I live in the city of Khan Yunis, south of Gaza.

I am married to Khatim and we have 3 children - Talia 7, Talin 5, and Wateen 3.

I was working as a cake seller on a mobile cart and was living a beautiful life in my warm,quiet house with my wife and young family when the war occurred.

On Oct 7 we moved from our home in Khabarovsk Yunis to the city of Deir-Al-Balah in the centre of the Gaza Strip- leaving behind our beautiful memories.

I was in major shock when I received the news that the entire family home was bombed and levelled to the ground. We lost everything we owned and I lost cousins and family members due to the bombing of our homes. I now have a constant fear of losing a family member again. Life has become very difficult after the loss of my family members.

We are now living in a very difficult situation because of the war that has befallen Gaza.

I hope that good people and our free people in the free world will stand with us to collect donations so that I can travel with my family to Egypt when the crossing is open, so that we can live in safety - away from fear and death every minute.

We hope to live a good life and for our children to live in safety and security.

With heart felt gratitude,

Khaled Dawood
