Hello, I'm Nagham Eltanah from Gaza, Palestine, 17 years old.

I'm writing to you after deep thought and hesitation. The urgent need to save my family surpasses my endurance, and I earnestly request your kind support to evacuate them from Gaza.

I'm still a high school student, with less than a year left until graduation, but I've been unable to continue my studies due to the ongoing situation. It's become unbearable for my family.

I desperately seek your help to evacuate my family, which consists of my parents, 3 sisters, and 3 brothers, along with myself, from Gaza. Continuous bombing, hunger, thirst, and relentless displacement have made our lives extremely challenging with no safe haven.

The decision to leave Gaza is painful, yet necessary for our survival. We've already been displaced 17 times, with the latest displacement for me and my family occurring on 9/05/2024. Each move brings us to another temporary shelter where basic necessities are lacking. There's no water, no food, and none of life's essentials. I never imagined even for a day that I would need to ask for help to save my life.  

What I want to tell you isn't to mourn your life. After 10 mos. of war, I want you to know that the constant feeling that you're next to leave is scary, esp when you realize you haven't achieved anything in your life, the lack of any drinking water for 10 mos  ,and continuing intestinal diseases , knowing there's no healthcare, is terrible. The constant scenes of death I see daily could make anyone mentally ill, so always be grateful for your life, no matter what. At least your life can be better than the lives of millions living under wars.

With my sincere gratitude❤️
