Hello, my name is Aya Al-Faleet from Deir al-Balah, I'm 17 years old. I want to tell you about my story. I hope you will hear me. Before the beginning of this nightmare and this war, we were living a happy life full of hope, optimism, dreams and ambitions, but this unjust war came and destroyed everything beautiful in our lives. My family consists of 8 members. Our circumstances are very difficult and harsh. My father suffers from recurring kidney stones and severe inflammation and needs to buy medication monthly on a permanent and continuous basis. My mother also suffers from diabetes and high blood pressure and is very tired. Let's not forget my little brother, he suffers from severe pain in his teeth. He is in severe pain and has malnutrition. My little brother, Moamen, is 8 years old and weighs 15 kg. This is terrible.

There is no life in Gaza, no water, no food, no essential things, not even job opportunities. There is no gas for cooking. We cook on fire and use plastic and nylon to light fires, knowing that they are harmful to health and harm the respiratory system. This war is still going on. It has been a year and seven months and we are still living under this genocide and this injustice. Unfortunately, our house was partially damaged, and our dreams and future were also destroyed. One of my most beautiful ambitions was to complete my studies and join the university, but the occupation destroyed everything. It destroyed the schools and universities and shattered everything beautiful in our lives. I hope to leave Gaza and complete my studies and fulfill my dream. Today I came to ask you for help and to stand by us in these difficult times. Any simple donation from you means a lot to me, even if it is small. It makes a difference in our lives and saves my family. If you cannot donate, please share my link. I hope you will help us and stand by us. Thank you very much.
