Help Ahmed's Family Survive the Crisis in Gaza

This is the story of brother-in-law Ahmed, who is suffering amidst the Gaza genocide.

My name is Ahmed Al-Jamali from Gaza. I am a husband and a father of five children.

My story with war did not begin recently; it started long before that. In the year 2000, during the Al-Aqsa Intifada, I was injured, and as a result, my pancreas was removed. I have been suffering from health issues due to that injury for the past 24 years.

The war exacerbated my condition. Our house in the “Tuffah” neighborhood in eastern Gaza was bombed, and my family and I were displaced multiple times from one area to another. Each time we fled, we faced immense difficulties.

Currently, we are living in a tent that lacks even the basic necessities of life. We are forced to use primitive methods for daily tasks, such as lighting fires to cook food. Waiting in long queues under the scorching sun for water that may not even be safe to drink has become our routine. Additionally, there are no sanitary facilities suitable for human use. The situation worsens due to the high temperatures; during the day, the tent turns into a literal sauna.

Not to mention the spread of strange insects, diseases, and epidemics due to poor hygiene and the accumulation of waste everywhere. Medical services are scarce, and obtaining them is extremely difficult.

I now struggle to provide the bare essentials for my wife and children—food, water, and basic necessities. The prices of these essentials have skyrocketed in Gaza due to scarcity and the ongoing famine.

Our health has already deteriorated, and we feel helpless. All I wish for now is to protect my family and provide them with a dignified life. I hope my children can resume their education after being out of school for 9 months due to the war.

Our girls picture before the war.

Therefore, I have decided to seek help from compassionate hearts around the world. I need €23,500 to enable my wife, children, and me to leave Gaza for Egypt through the Rafah border crossing as soon as possible. Additionally, I require €10,000 for accommodation in Egypt for 6 months while I search for employment.

Requesting assistance is not an easy matter, but our options have run out. I hope you can help us survive these difficult circumstances. We are grateful to anyone who chooses to donate and appreciate your empathy and support.
