Stand with Mohammed El Sharif and His Family in Gaza

Help Mohammed and His Children Survive the Siege of Gaza!

Hello, my name is Benjamin Rivers . I am a psychotherapist and applied theatre practitioner based in Spain. I have worked for several years in Occupied Palestine, providing training and support to Palestinian mental health workers.

My friend and colleague, Mohammed Hafez El Sharif, former Director of the Gaza Child Mental Health Centre (now reduced to rubble), has been released after enduring 7 months of unjust and brutal imprisonment by Israel.

While Mohammed was imprisoned, his three sons—Hadi, Hafez, and Elias—took shelter with relatives, narrowly surviving a genocide that continues to annihilate thousands of Palestinian children and their families.

As a leader in the mental health field, Mohammed has spent all of his adult life working to relieve the suffering of children traumatised by Apartheid Israel's endless campaigns of slaughter and dispossession against the people of Gaza.

Now, Mohammed faces the challenge of simply feeding his sons—a task made nearly impossible by the cost and dangers of trying to access food.

Israel’s relentless blockade of humanitarian aid has deepened an already unbearable crisis. A full-scale famine is now underway. Food prices have skyrocketed, far beyond what most families can afford.

Every attempt to reach aid comes with the risk of death. Israeli forces have repeatedly opened fire on civilians at food distribution points. For Mohammed, going to these sites would mean risking his life.

With no safe alternative, he is forced to buy what food remains at extortionate prices. A 25 kg bag of flour now costs $600.

Stand with Mohammed and his family in Gaza. Help them survive with dignity.

100% of proceeds will go directly to Mohammed and his family.
