Hello

My name is Ahmad Ali , a civil engineer from the Gaza Strip. I completed my studies in Civil Engineering 10 years ago, and have been practicing engineering in the besieged enclave since then. Despite the challenging circumstances, I mangled to have a successful career and business, and started my own engineering contracting company few years ago. I had the dream of growing my business further and started thinking about building my own family when my life was completely shattered during the current war on Gaza in the aftermath of October 7. I had to flee my home in Gaza city to a designated UN shelter, and after multiple evacuations over the months of November and December, I ended up in a refugee camp in the southern city of Rafah.

For the past months, I have been trying to overcome the trauma of what I had to go through since October 7. I keep thinking about the dear family members I lost during this war. I remember my beautiful house in Gaza city, that has be turned into rubble. And I dream about rebuilding the successful business I had before the war, the business that was the source of income for my family, and secured me a dignified life in a region that was already struggling.

Now, I know that I should stop thinking about the past and start working for a better future for my family and I. I have lost my entire capital in this war, and kindly ask for your help to start my life again.

I would greatly appreciate your contribution through donations, or at least sharing my story.
