Direct support for Ahmed Al-Masry and his family in Gaza

For the last year I have been directly supporting a woman from Gaza. Her fundraising has been essential for feeding and helping hundreds of Gazans who have little or no access to charitable organisations there. As large organisations on the ground are being targeted by the Military Forces this kind of support is now essential.

Most of us are aware of the daily horrors faced by the people of Palestine; constant fear of bombing, shootings, living in makeshift homes and with little to no food and clean water. This page has been set up on the request of Ahmed and his family to offer them direct support in Gaza. Below is the story he has sent us asking for help.

All donations will go directly to them, thank you for taking the time to read this.

"Hello, I am Ahmed Al-Masry, 18 years old. It is assumed that this year is the fateful year for me. You are at the end of the secondary stage, which decides my fate and my future, but my course of study was interrupted due to the aggression on Gaza, and my future will remain unknown for an unknown time, and I lost my beloved hobby, which is the sport of football. I live in a country torn by war.

We are a family of 7 individuals. I have 2 male brothers. My younger brother was injured by several shrapnel in his leg, and I have two sisters. The eldest has her future destroyed and lost her university, and the youngest, who is not more than four years old, has a heart that cannot bear this suffering. My father was an engineer, as he lost his job and was devastated. His office too, was hit in the head, and my mother and I were destroyedOur entire house, and we lost all of our possessions, our memories, and our childhood, all of which were buried under the rubble of our destroyed house. We flee every day in order to obtain a living; Since my family has no source of income, I had to ask for humanitarian assistance from you, and I hope you will support me.

This war is not like any ordinary war, but rather a genocidal war, as from time to time we are displaced from one place to another.

I never imagined that my dreams of obtaining a certificate would turn into my dreams of getting a drink of pure water!"

The war turned my life into a challenging journey of survival.
