Omar al-Najjar is from Gaza, Palestine. He is from Abasan al-Kabira, east of Khan Yunis, the Wadi Saber area. His home, and the entire area is completely demolished. As you know the situation there is dire. No aid has been able to enter Gaza since March the 2nd. The people of Gaza are now starving. Omar and his family are displaced and live in a camp. He is 16 years old. This is a fundraiser for basic necessities, like water, flour, medicine etc. For Omar and his family to eat one meal of pasta or rice a day, it now costs $170, making it impossible not to starve. As of today, the Oppressor has scaled up the attack on Gaza. Many of their family members, friends and neighbours have been martyred. I speak with Omar and his family daily and I witness the tremendous effects of this genocide. By donating you will help them struggle through their enormous suffering. If you can give anything please donate, however little, it will help.

Below are a few words from Omar himself.

Laura.

My name is Omar from Gaza, I am 16 years old. Before the war, I was able to provide food and drink for my family and I could provide them with all their needs and I did not deprive them of anything, but when this war came, everything changed. I fell short of my family a lot and deprived them of everything and I cannot provide them with their needs. I have suffered a lot in this war. Every day I walk very long distances to get water and other than that, the water is not suitable for drinking and we drink from it and we do not have a lot of food. The war has lasted a long time and we do not have money to bring my family’s needs. I was forced to create a donation box to get your support and donations, my dear friends. I need help. I appreciate anything you can give. Thank you. I hope that my words have affected you.
