Hi,

I am Mart and I live in Belgium. Since the beginning of the violence in Gaza I have supported Unicef, Oxfam and the Red Cross.

A few months ago I came into contact with Zaid Jamal Al-Nabahin, a seventeen year old boy who lives in the Al-Nuseirat refugee camp in Gaza. I want to help him directly so I created this Gofundme. The money will be used to buy food for Zaid and his family and will be transferred via Paypal.

Here is a message from Zaid:

From the depths of the war that has ravaged our land,

My name is Zaid, I am 17 years old, and I live in Gaza, specifically in the southern part of the Strip. I am a high school student, and swimming is my favorite hobby. I love life.

Since October 7th, my life has been turned upside down. I lost part of my family — including my older sister, her two-year-old son, her unborn child, and her husband. My siblings and I were injured due to the bombing of a neighboring house, and my own home was partially destroyed. I have been displaced three times and now live in a tent.

I am a person who loves life and wants to live. I never imagined I would one day write a message like this.

With your help, I can dream again.

Thank you.
