Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well.

I want to share my story with you and I hope you read it to the end. It’s not boring—it's about saving human lives—my family who are trapped in Gaza.

My name is Mohammed, I am 25 years old. I left Gaza at the beginning of the war in October 2023. I went to Egypt, as it was the only way out of Gaza at the time. From there, I took a flight to Turkey on a 30-day tourist visa. Then, in the same month I left Gaza, the war broke out. I couldn’t return to my country, nor could I stay in Turkey as my visa expired, and I couldn’t get permission to stay longer.

These are photos taken before I left Gaza through the Rafah crossing.

The only option I had left was to travel to Greece via dangerous, illegal boat routes, to continue my life and try to save what remains of my family who are still trapped in Gaza. Later, in May 2024, I went to the Netherlands to seek asylum, hoping they could help me with family reunification to rescue my loved ones from the genocide and starvation that is destroying Gaza.

But that’s not all.

My mother and sister also left Gaza for medical treatment in Egypt, and they are currently stranded there, living in a rented home with no source of income.

My father, who is 86 years old, along with two of my married brothers and their four children, my 28-year-old brother who was injured by shrapnel during the war, my 18-year-old sister, and my 14-year-old younger brother, are all still living in Gaza, surrounded by destruction, starvation, and a campaign of genocide.

I now live in safety in the Netherlands, in a refugee camp, waiting to receive my residency papers, so I can help bring my family to safety before it’s too late. Bombs are falling all over Gaza, and the enemy knows no mercy—only how to destroy homes and kill people indiscriminately. Many of the victims are children, women, and the elderly, people who have nothing to do with politics—just regular human beings who love life and have dreams and hopes for the future.

But the enemy has no mercy.

I started this campaign to raise money for my family, so they can buy food and survive, because everything is extremely expensive in Gaza due to greedy merchants and severe shortages of basic supplies like food, flour, and baby formula. It’s incredibly hard to find anything to feed children, and some of them are literally dying from hunger, their bodies reduced to skin and bones due to severe malnutrition.
