About the Cause
Gaza in Our Hearts is a Ramadan fundraising campaign by Dubai Cares that aims to support the people of Gaza with emergency relief aid including: Hot Meals Distribution, Food Basket Distribution and Emergency Shelter Tents.
To ensure the prompt and efficient supply of this emergency relief, we have partnered with Anera who are working closely with UN, diplomatic and non-governmental organization partners to open aid corridors to enable it to urgently deliver life-saving aid.
Through your generosity and compassion, we can make a significant difference in the lives of those affected by the humanitarian crisis. Together, let us stand in solidarity with Gaza and demonstrate that hope and compassion know no borders.
My Story
Dear compassionate hearts: I am Islam, 25 years old. I started this campaign on behalf of myself and my family who are besieged in the Gaza Strip. We are now going through the 180 day of war, hunger, displacement, loss of loved ones, loss of homes, and loss of work. We have become without work, without shelter, and without the slightest resistance to life. My family consists of 7 members. We were displaced more than 5 times during the war. I am communicating with you, O compassionate hearts, in order to help me evacuate my family of 10 members from Gaza. He follows : ♦ My family lives in Gaza City, and we were displaced for the first time to the south, where we have no place to accommodate us. ♦ Our house was bombed and completely destroyed. ♦ My sister and I used to work remotely and support our family, but with the beginning of the war and the loss of communications and the Internet, we completely lost our work, and now we have no source of income. ♦ We are now on the street and in displacement tents, under hunger, bombing, and danger . ♦ There is no safe place in Gaza, no food, no clean drinking water. We are now in a very tragic situation . ♦ All members of my family suffer from several diseases, such as respiratory infections due to bombing dust and the smell of explosives, and most of them suffer from colds due to staying in the displacement tent, which does not protect against the winter cold. ♦ Education was halted due to the destruction of schools and universities .
