Fled Gaza Bombs… Now Trapped in Hunger With My Kids

From Gaza Under Fire… I Only Want My Children Safe

Hello, my name is Mahmoud, from Gaza.

I used to work as a computer engineer until the war began. I lost my job completely after our workplace was destroyed and most of my colleagues were killed.

I am a father of three young children.

I fled with my family from central Gaza to Rafah in search of safety, then we returned to central Gaza… but there is no safe place. The bombing follows us wherever we go.

Today, we are living through unbearable conditions of genocide. Every day we live under the roar of warplanes and the thunder of explosions.

We are displaced from one place to another, carrying what little remains of our lives.

We no longer have work, nor peace, nor a single moment of rest. Only fear, terror, displacement, and the endless suffering of war.

We have lost everything:

My children wake up to the sound of explosions and fall asleep afraid they may never open their eyes again.

All I want is to see them survive… to shield them from fear, even for a moment.

For two years, Gaza has been burning under a war that does not stop.

The sky is filled with bombardment, homes are crushed upon their residents, and families are driven from place to place with no shelter, no safety.

In the middle of this destruction, I try as a father to keep my children alive — to hold their hands through the ruins and tell them we will survive, even as my own heart trembles in fear just like theirs.

"I am still standing — not because I am strong, but because my children need me to be.

I only dream of giving them one night without bombing, and a shelter where they can sleep in peace."

Please, help me protect my children.

Your donation could mean a safer tent, life-saving medicine, or even a moment of survival in this nightmare.

And if you cannot donate, please share my story — so it may reach someone who can.

Gaza is burning.

The bombing never stops.

Displacement has become our daily fate.

With love and hope,

Mahmoud — From Gaza
