My name is Ahmed N, and I’m based in the UK, doing everything I can to support my relatives in Gaza. I’m sharing this message on behalf of Aida Quffeh — a mother, a wife, and a woman enduring the unimaginable.

“My name is Aida Quffeh. I live in Gaza, where every day is a battle to survive. My husband is gravely ill with a serious heart condition. His life is hanging by a thread, and there is no treatment available here. Hospitals have collapsed. Medicines are gone. Hope is fading.

I spend each day trying to care for him and protect our daughter — trying to hold my family together in a place where even the basics of life are out of reach. We often go without food. We live in fear. And I’m terrified I might lose him simply because we were born in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I am begging for your help — not just for me, but for my husband’s life and our daughter’s future. We urgently need to leave Gaza to get the medical care he needs to survive. Even the smallest donation could bring us closer to safety, to dignity, to a chance at life.

Please don’t look away. In a world that feels so indifferent, you could be the lifeline we are holding on to
