Help Akram's family escape the genocide in the Gaza Strip.

Hello everyone,

I'm Richard Lederer and a friend of Akram Marwan Mohammed Abu Rida, who lives with his family in Gaza. I live in Vienna and have known Akram for years through social media. Every donation will be forwarded directly to Akram.

We launched this campaign to help my friend Akram and his family in Gaza. Our friend Akram has witnessed the suffering of the war in Gaza from the very beginning: He lost his father, who was serving as an ambulance driver. The planes surprised him, attacked the ambulance, and killed him.

Akram also has a newborn child who is considered a "child of war"—he was born the day before the war broke out. Akram himself, who lives in a border region, was displaced from his home in the first hours of the war. At first, he sought shelter in schools and humanitarian shelters, later living in tents under unbearable conditions.

In the ongoing war, Akram has lost his uncle as well as many of his family and friends. The small house he lived in was also completely destroyed by airstrikes. He still lives in the most adverse conditions of hunger and destruction, in tents that can withstand neither the blazing sun nor the bitter winter cold.

The war and hunger are not over, and Akram and his family rely on food distributions to get anything at all. Given this oppressive and difficult situation, Akram is considering leaving Gaza. He needed financial support, and we hope to raise the necessary amount through this campaign to provide him and his family with at least basic necessities.
