My name is Hamada Al-Mazloom, from the northern Gaza Strip. I am displaced alone in the Al-Zawayda area in the middle of the Gaza Strip, where I live in a tent under harsh conditions. My family, who remains in the north, is still trapped there. I lost my father, who was martyred in the war, leaving my mother and siblings alone to face the hardships of life under siege and destruction.

It has been over 500 days since I last saw my family. During this time, I endured a painful experience when I was arrested by the Israeli army for a month and five days, during which I was subjected to severe physical and psychological torture. After my release from detention, I was unable to return to my family due to the difficult security situation.

Today, I only have the tent I live in, amidst the bitter cold, and I am unable to provide even the basic necessities for myself and my children. I am appealing to you to help provide some support for my family who is trapped in the north, so I can assist my family.
