About Ola's family:
"My name is Ola, and I consider myself lucky to have escaped Gaza after enduring 125 days of unimaginable suffering. But the story I urgently need to share is that of my family, who are still trapped amidst the relentless bombing, hunger, thirst, illness, and cold that haunt our homeland.
My brother's desperate message paints a grim picture of their reality: "We are ten individuals, desperate to escape the ongoing war and devastation in Gaza. Our lives have been torn apart by violence and destruction. With our homes damaged and our sources of livelihood destroyed, we are facing a dire situation. The lack of basic necessities has left us struggling to survive each day. Our only hope lies in leaving Gaza, but the cost of escape is beyond our means."
Funds raised will go towards helping Ola's family survive in Gaza, and facilitate their exit when possible, arranging necessary documentation and securing temporary accommodations. Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a difference in their lives and help them rebuild a sense of security and stability.
