Hello, my name is Hussein Abu Awda, from northern Gaza, from the heart of this bleeding wound. I am launching this campaign to save myself from the pain, the screams, the groans, and the anguish of my injury and the grief of losing my martyred brother, the child Ali Abu Awda. My family consists of 12 members, including my ailing father. I am the eldest of my siblings, and I am now unable to support my large family after being injured by the treachery of the Zionist enemy in Gaza.

We lost our home at the beginning of the war when it was severely damaged by bombing. Since then, our family has been displaced multiple times and lives without stability, security, or even the most basic necessities. We no longer have a home to return to, nor a reliable source of water, electricity, or income. Hello, my name is Hussein Abu Awda, from northern Gaza, from the heart of this bleeding wound.

My family consists of 12 members, including my ailing father. I am the eldest of my siblings, and I am now unable to support my large family after being injured by the treachery of the Zionist enemy in Gaza.

We lost our home at the beginning of the war when it was severely damaged by bombing. Since then, our family has been displaced multiple times and lives without stability, security, or even the most basic necessities. We no longer have a home to return to, nor a reliable source of water, electricity, or income.

After months of displacement, my family, my children, and I were forced to move between unsafe shelters, including living in a tent under extremely harsh conditions. In September, I sought refuge in my parents' house, believing it would finally offer some protection. Unfortunately, this hope was shattered when a missile struck the house. At that moment, my younger brother was killed, and my older sister, Hussein, was seriously injured. I am now fighting for my life and suffering greatly. I need $200 to $300 a day for expenses, medical treatment, and food. I have no source of income and am unable to work due to my injuries, which were inflicted by the enemy in this genocidal war. I am in a lot of pain, thirst, and hunger, and my siblings are suffering from cold and hunger. I have nothing and am unable to work or provide for them.

Before October 7th, I had a small, happy house in northern Gaza, full of toys, children, and little clothes, filled with our pictures and happy memories that vanished when the occupation destroyed it. We fled to what the occupation claimed was a safe area in Khan Younis, where there was no electricity or internet. We struggled to get water and milk for the children.

He sustained severe injuries to his stomach, lungs, esophagus, head, hand, shoulder, and face. These injuries are extremely serious, and he is in great pain. He urgently needs ongoing medical treatment, medication, and several complex surgeries. He cannot eat normally or live independently, and his recovery depends entirely on continuous care that I cannot afford.

In addition to the health crisis, I have no source of income since the war. I am struggling to provide even the most basic necessities for my children. The funds raised through this campaign will be used to:

Secur safe housing by renting or renovating a place where I and my children can live with dignity.

Cover the costs of medical treatment, medications, and necessary surgeries for myself.

Cover daily living expenses, including food, clean water, and basic supplies.

Help reopen a small income-generating business so I can support my children independently.

Pay for my children's education, especially after they were deprived of schooling for over two and a half years because of the war.

My family, Maslama, are suffering from deep sorrow and profound loneliness after all we have lost. Despite the shock and grief over the martyrdom of my brother Ali, we are trying to continue his education and remain strong, even as fear and pain weigh heavily upon us.
