<div>I am Alaa Ahmad, based in Belgium, and I started this campaign as an urgent plea to save my brother Bilal’s life in Gaza, as he is in immediate danger and urgently needs heart surgery to survive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Bilal’s Message ⬇️
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Bilal Fathi Ahmed, I am 27 years old and from Gaza. I lost my mother, father, and brother in an airstrike in December 2023. I am now displaced, living in a tent, and suffering from a serious heart condition that requires urgent surgery abroad.
</div>
<div>I urgently need your help to survive and receive the treatment I need.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>About Me
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am a graduate of Al-Aqsa University (Business Administration &amp; Accounting). I was born and raised in Gaza, where despite difficult conditions, I lived a simple life with my family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Before the War
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I grew up in a loving home. My mother was my source of kindness, my father my support and strength, and my brother Mohammed my closest companion.
</div>
<div>We lived with dignity despite poverty and blockade. We had little material wealth, but we had each other.
</div>

</div>
<div>What Happened
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On December 22, 2023, I left the house briefly to charge my phone during a power outage. While I was away, our home was bombed.
</div>
<div>When I returned, everything was destroyed. I later learned that my entire family was inside.
</div>
<div>I lost my mother, father, and brother in that single moment.
</div>
<div>I identified them later in the morgue. That day changed my life completely.
</div>

</div>
<div>️ My Current Situation
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since then, I have been displaced and living in a tent under extremely difficult conditions. There is no safety, no stability, and constant fear from ongoing conflict.
</div>
<div>Daily life is a struggle for survival.
</div>
<div><br />

</div>
<div>My Medical Condition
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have suffered from heart problems since 2016 and have a pacemaker implanted.
</div>
<div>Recently, my condition worsened:
</div>
<div>The pacemaker battery is nearly depleted
</div>
<div>The device has shifted from its position
</div>
<div>Doctors confirmed urgent replacement surgery is needed
</div>
<div>This operation cannot be performed in Gaza due to lack of medical resources.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />

</div>
<div>✈️ Need for Treatment Abroad
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On January 30, 2025, I received a medical referral for urgent treatment outside Gaza.
</div>
<div>However, I am unable to travel due to financial limitations.
</div>
<div>Without surgery, my life is at serious risk.
</div>
<div><br />

</div>
<div>Medical travel and visa expenses
</div>
<div>Temporary accommodation during treatment
</div>
<div>Basic recovery and living costs

<div>"Final Message"
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am not asking for comfort—I am asking for a chance to live.
</div>
