Moutasem Mohammed is a 23 year old from Gaza, Palestine. He is a student at Al-Aqsa University, majoring in Information Security.

Moutasem has been running the mutual aid programme Save Gaza to provide food and water for those around him. Despite his family home being destroyed and facing immense challenges, he and his team have been selflessly determined to continue helping others in need.

Let's rally as much support as we can for Moutasem and his family. Any donation big or small is hugely appreciated.

*My name is Rob Leonard. I am from Ireland. I know Moutasem through my fundraising efforts for trusted mutual aid campaigns such as his. He and his family have been displaced several times in Gaza. As this platform does not operate in Palestine, Moutasem has asked me to set up this fundraiser on his behalf. I will transfer the funds raised here directly to him via bank transfer.

Moutasem’s message:

I am a young Palestinian man pursuing my dreams in the field of information security, and I believe that science is the way to build a better future for me, my family and my community. I love helping others and seeing people happy, and I find in football a simple outlet amid all the difficult circumstances we are living.

Unfortunately, the war in Gaza has changed everything. My house was completely destroyed by the occupation, and I had to be repeatedly displaced — this is the eighth time I was forced to leave my place and move from Northern to southern Gaza in search of safety.

There is no longer a livelihood or a job opportunity, and with the deterioration of the humanitarian situation it has become difficult to secure the most basic needs of daily life for my family.

I created this link in the hope that I will find someone who will stand with us in this plight, help us regain the ability to live with dignity.

Through this campaign, I aim to provide what helps me to meet the basic needs of my family — shelter, food, medicine, and some necessary necessities for daily life.

Every bit of support, no matter how small, makes a big difference in our lives. May Allah grant you the best for everyone who contributes, participates, or invites us.

Let us hope for a better life.
