Save My Family from the War in Gaza
Donation protected
Hi, I am Mohammed Khdirat a graduate student living in Bern who has been an activist in solidarity with the Palestinian cause for some time and I am deeply saddened and concerned about the scale of destruction and death that is happening right now in Gaza.
I am organizing this event to raise money for my friend Omar who is trapped in Gaza and has already suffered so much loss, in the hope that we can save him and his family. I have created a bank account specifically for this campaign to track donations and I will be transferring the money raised here to him to support him and his family to survive this genocide and eventually evacuate Gaza. A portion of this money will also go towards daily living expenses as everything is so expensive right now. Please read his story:
Hello kind donors, your kindness can turn our tragic story into one of resilience and renewal.
We hope that you can help us survive this unstoppable war with basic necessities.
Please consider reaching out to us at this difficult time.
Together, we can heal wounds, restore lives and plant the seeds of a brighter future.
my name is Omar, a father of three children (Basma, Nesma, and Mohammed). I used to live in Gaza, living a simple life full of love and peace. Every morning I would go to work, and in the afternoon I would return home to spend some time with my children.
But on the morning of October 7, we woke up to what seemed like the end of the world. The sounds of tank shells, the roar of planes, shelling and destruction filled the air. Since that day, the journey of displacement began, moving from one place to another, escaping war, shelling and death. This cost me my home and my work.
We now live in a tent that provides no protection from the heat of the day, the cold of the night or insects. What is worse, we are constantly threatened by tank shells and missiles that follow us wherever we go, fearing for our lives. - Every night, the specter of death haunts me in my dreams and when I am awake, as I am unable to provide them with enough food due to the high prices of everything, even drinking water.
Last night, my daughter Nesma and I had a heartbreaking conversation: - Me: Why are you crying Nesma?
- Nesma: I have lost hope, I am exhausted, I just want to die.
- Me: Why do you wish for death?
- Nesma: The war has gone on too long, I can no longer be patient or endure... This is the situation of my children. We have lost hope, and now they wish for death because of the unbearable war. There is no longer any possibility of living in Gaza, and we must leave to escape the war and death. But the cost of leaving is high. There is an Egyptian company called "Hala" that coordinates the exit through its territory, and charges $6,000 per person. You can confirm this by contacting the company via In addition, there are fees and crossing tickets worth $300 per person, and transportation costs $200.
For this reason, I launched this campaign to save my children and wife from the war.
Please help and support us in this difficult ordeal
