Save Lives: Journalist's Fight for His Children.

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Sabine and I am fundraising for my friend Aziz Afifi, a photojournalist, a father to four children, and a community organiser from North Gaza. Please read his story below and support this true hero during the worst possible time a father can face while trying to show the devastating reality of life in Gaza.


Aziz: "I write to you with a heavy heart, from the tent city in Khan Yunis, asking for your help as I strive to keep my children fed and sheltered during an ongoing genocide, and rebuild my home, which has been destroyed, when this nightmare subsides.

I am currently separated from my children: my two oldest daughters Yumna (12) and Yara (10) managed to meet in Rafah, after months of displacement from the North to Rafah, through the mid district. However, they have not been staying with me for their own safety, given the risks involved with being a journalist in Gaza.


My youngest Maher (5) and Maria (4), whom I haven't seen since Oct 6, are still in Northern Gaza with their mother, where over 350,000 people are experiencing true famine as of early May 2024, according to the World Food Program.

The genocide in Gaza still rages and each day brings with it a new wave of terror and uncertainty. The relentless attacks on the defenceless civilian population and infrastructure have choked the life out of our once-thriving community, killed our families and friends, destroyed our homes, and left us with nothing. With the destruction of my home, I lost my most precious
souvenirs from the time my children were born and grew up, but our faith in Allah's grace is great and so is our belief in the goodness and goodwill of people around the world, both carrying us through this fight, day after day.







I am asking you to help me support my children as the cost of life-sustaining necessities like food, water and shelter in Gaza have now reached over 5 times their original price. In return, as a dedicated journalist who has worked through multiple wars over my 17-year career, I can offer you a view of the truth through my camera lens, to show you the reality of life in Gaza.

Your compassion and generosity will make a difference in our lives and give us something to look forward to. Please be Yumna, Yara, Maher, and Maria's glimmer of hope in this dark time. Your donation will not only provide immediate relief for my children but will also sow the seeds of hope for a brighter tomorrow. Every dollar is a blessing.

Thank you, from the depths of my heart, for your compassion and support".
