My name is Moamen Hemaid, a free Palestinian young man from northern Gaza, 38 years old. People know me as “The Stubborn Palestinian” because I never surrendered to the siege or fear, and I have always been a voice for the oppressed and a helping hand to my family and neighbors. I never sought fame, nor was I affiliated with any news channel or organization. I have always been an independent field reporter, covering events from the heart of danger, documenting bombings, sharing people’s stories, and living every moment with their suffering, driven solely by duty and conscience, without any protection or compensation. I survived a direct bombing that killed 37 members of my family, and I remained under the rubble for two full days without water, food, or medical assistance, surrounded by dust, darkness, and silence, with the heavy smell of loss. Today, I am in a very critical health condition, urgently needing help to survive and treat a severe injury to my jaw and mouth, complicated by coma and severe blood infection (septicemia). I live under siege, without food or medicine, while my elderly mother—the last of my family—waits for me to survive. I am sharing my story to ask for my basic right to live and to reach anyone who can help. ⸻ Who I Am & Why People Know Me I was never seeking fame, nor have I ever worked for a media outlet. I am an independent field reporter and a free Palestinian youth activist, working from the heart of danger in northern Gaza, documenting bombings, sharing people’s news, and covering events driven solely by duty and conscience, without payment or protection. My voice has always been for the people, and my camera for the truth—even if it cost me my life. I am known for my resilience, endurance, and love for serving others, always striving to be a support for my family and everyone around me in the harshest circumstances. ⸻ The Tragedy That Changed My Life In one of the worst massacres in Jabalia Camp, my family home was hit by a direct bombing. 37 members of my family were killed at once, including children, women, and the elderly—everyone I loved. I was among them. I survived, after two full days under the rubble without water, food, or medical help, surrounded by dust, darkness, and silence, but I emerged carrying unbearable pain and a memory that never sleeps. ⸻ Life After the Rubble I have never left northern Gaza. I remain trapped in a destroyed area, living amidst: • Constant hunger • Persistent thirst • Almost complete lack of medicine • Spread of germs and viruses • Contaminated environment • Constant threat to life I endured all of this because I am the sole provider for my family. I had no choice but to stand firm. ⸻ Medical Condition Date of Admission: November 5, 2025 Time of Admission: 03:33 AM Department: Intensive Care – Critical Cases Patient: Moamen Hemaid, 38 years old General Condition: • Extremely critical • Completely unconscious • Respiration: requires mechanical ventilation • Circulation: severe weakness and deterioration of vital signs Immediate Medical Actions: • Intravenous fluids • Intramuscular and IV injections • Intensive antibiotic therapy Medical Diagnosis by Treating Physician: • Coma due to severe complications in the jaw and oral region from a previous injury and chronic infection • Led to acute septicemia and deterioration in vital indicators Observations: • Partial respiratory failure • Imbalance in fluids and electrolytes • Poor physiological response to conventional treatment Initial Treatment Plan: • Connect to a mechanical ventilator with continuous vital monitoring • Continue intravenous fluids and intensive antibiotics • Monitor blood pressure and pulse every hour • Evaluate need for blood or plasma transfusion within 24 hours • Continuous monitoring in intensive care until stabilization ⸻ Why I Am Asking for Your Help Now • Provide basic necessities for my family: food, water, medicine, and baby formula • Save my life: my injuries have caused a severe coma and dangerous complications, requiring urgent surgery to reconstruct my jaw and teeth, in addition to continuous and intensive medical care Any delay threatens my life.
