Read Mohamed's story below.
Hello, my name is Mohamed Abdel Karim Al-Ajla, and I'm from Gaza City. I studied engineering at Al-Azhar University in Gaza. My family and I lived happily in a beautiful home. Our simple life was completely destroyed when our house was bombed on October 27, 2023 (photos below). We lost everything.
My family—my wife, my four children, my father, my mother, my sister, and my two brothers—first fled to a house outside Shuja'iyya, then to Nuseirat Refugee Camp, where we rented a house that was also bombed. My family and I were caught in an Israeli attack, and civil defense and ambulance crews rushed to our aid. We were taken to Al-Awda Hospital in Nuseirat for treatment. Twenty-seven people were killed in this attack. We miraculously survived numerous encounters with death. I always dreamed of becoming a world-class computer engineer and programmer, but the war shattered my dreams and those of my family.
I worked for a software company here in Gaza, but the Israeli occupation destroyed everything. I was in good health and had many satisfied clients when the genocide began. After our house was bombed, I lost my laptop, my clients, and my livelihood. We then went to al-Bureij refugee camp, where my brother-in-law's house was hit by more than forty shells. We contacted the Red Cross and Civil Defense, but to no avail. We left alone under the occupation's artillery fire, walking about ten kilometers until we reached al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah. The hospital was then threatened, and the occupation army ordered us to leave. We fled to Rafah. After living without shelter for seven days on the streets of Rafah, we were given tents and then ordered to evacuate the city. We were displaced to the central region. We built a new tent and started a new life from scratch, with only a bag for each of us. Our children are suffering from the cold and hunger, we lack hygiene supplies, we drink contaminated water, and we don't have enough food, which only adds to our suffering. The war was devastating, and we face immense hardship. We fear an imminent invasion by the Israeli army.
We are a family of ten. I am Muhammad, my wife Maha is 28 years old, and my children are: Batoul, 9; Karim, 5; Ward, 3; and Omar, 18.5 years old. My father, Abdul Karim, is 67 years old, my mother, Khitam, is 59, my brothers, Mahmoud, 20, and Abdul Aziz, 16, and my sister, Maryam, 22.
My mother suffers from chronic illnesses, including diabetes, high blood pressure, and osteoporosis.
Saving our family requires overcoming financial difficulties.
