Help Ahmed and his family survive the genocide in Gaza

ahmed , a photographer in his thirties, worked for a local company in northern Gaza. Married with three daughters, he lived on a modest salary that barely covered their needs. Residing near the eastern borders of Gaza, his life took a drastic turn on October 7th, when the escalating conflict forced him and his family to flee their home.

Initially, they found refuge at a friend's house, hoping the violence would soon subside. But after fifteen days of relentless air raids, they had to flee again. The ensuing months were a harrowing journey of escape, moving from place to place, always seeking safety but never finding stability.

For four months, ahmed and his family lived in constant fear, their days filled with uncertainty and nights with the sounds of distant explosions. The girls clung to their mother, while ahmed tried to remain strong, his camera now a tool to document their struggle rather than a means of livelihood.

As the situation worsened, the occupation's invasion left them no choice but to leave Gaza. It was a heart-wrenching decision, one filled with sorrow and a sense of loss. The land they loved, the home they built, and the life they knew were left behind.

As the situation worsened, the occupation's invasion left them no choice but to leave Gaza. Crossing the border was both a relief and a profound heartbreak. They joined countless others in what were called safe shelters in Rafah. There, they built a tent from makeshift blankets, but life was far from safe or comfortable. There was no clean water, no healthy food, and even this so-called safe area was not immune to violence. Genocides claimed the lives of many living in the tents, adding to the pervasive sense of hopelessness.

Despite the dire conditions, ahmed spirit struggled to stay unbroken. He continued to take photographs, capturing the resilience and hope of his fellow displaced, preserving their stories for the world to see. However, the reality was harsh. They had no money, suffered from diseases, and lacked access to clean water. His daughters, unable to find joy in their dire circumstances, struggled with the trauma of their displacement.

To those who read Ahmed story, we ask for your support.

We would be so grateful if you help us to get out of this miserable life because with your help we can register for all my family members and go out together without worrying if anybody remains in Gaza. We kindly ask you to share this fundraising campaign with anyone you know to reach more people before it is over. We have seen the importance of sharing it with friends and families even with someone you don’t know, ask him to do a favor, if you yourself can’t participate.

We are all so grateful and honored and we will never forget your kindness in our hard times. Thank you.
