Support a Margate resident's family in Gaza

Calling Margate neighbours and friends,

We are lucky to have a wonderful man join our community. My dear friend Mohammed, a young doctor from Gaza, recently moved in with me in Cliftonville to get some rest and healing from the intensity of London amid the ongoing onslaught in his home country.

Both of Mohammed’s former flatmates in London had parents and close family killed in Gaza in the last few months. And right now Mohammed’s own family remain in the north of Gaza in Gaza City, where they have been held up for months, and are starving.

Each of Mohammed’s close relatives, his mother, father, brothers and sisters have lost at least 15kg of weight. His younger brother survived a missile strike on his pharmacy, but his cousin was killed. The same brother also narrowly survived gun shots from an Israeli sniper which targeted their home, tragically a neighbour was killed in the incident.

To put it frankly, right now Mohammed’s family are slowly starving to death and they need our support.

In the last few days, Mohammed has received an emergency message from his family requesting urgent funds in an attempt to buy food and essentials as the intensity of the famine increases with each passing day. Mohammed has depleted his own savings to support his family.

Occasionally it is possible to get hold of a bag of flour in Gaza City. When occasionally available, a 25kg bag costs around £300.

The future is uncertain and the bombs keep falling.

Mohammed is the last person to ever ask for any kind of help, let alone financial assistance, so I am setting up this fundraiser on his behalf.

Please consider supporting Mohammed and his family, all amounts, large or small, are warmly welcomed. Thank you so much.
