The petition submitted to your Excellency
Sir, we are Jews from Kurdistan from the northern regions who took refuge in
the Menashi Saleh shelter out of fear for our lives approximately nine months ago.
We renounced our citizenships and we had some money which we handed over for travel
fees in the hope of being deported quickly, and now we possess nothing
to spend on our families, especially since the Israelite community cut off our
livelihood from the date of the freezing of funds, and we remained without food and our condition
is very bad.
Sir, we have approached the responsible authorities several times and they did not give us a result,
and now we seek mercy from your Excellency with this petition on behalf of our brothers present
in the shelter, asking God Almighty and your Excellency's grace for our speedy deportation
and to save us from the hunger and disease spreading among us, and you have our utmost respect
and reward from God.

By this humanitarian act, you will have rendered us a great favor that we cannot forget in any case, as we are suffering
