Support my family in Gaza

My name is Ziad Shaheen and I am from Deir al-Balah, Gaza. Before the war started on Gaza I travelled to Ramallah for medical care as I suffer from heart problems (PSVT). I returned back to Gaza last year prior to the zionist onslaught on our lands and people, only to be displaced along with my entire family awaiting further treatment.

Given the conditions in Gaza, I have not been able to receive proper care for my heart condition. The zionist occupation demolished our entire home. In January of this year, I went back to inspect the ruins of what was once our home. An ambulance crew was present in the area and were directly targeted by israeli warplanes, two Palestinians were martyred and 12 others were seriously injured, including myself. I was transported to the European hospital in Gaza where I had surgery in my lower back to remove a shrapnel from the missile that targeted the first responder.

All glory to Allah for saving my life and allowing me to continue to protect and provide for my family in Gaza.

I have 7 siblings, 4 brothers and 3 sisters, I am the oldest, and our youngest is my brother Abdel Rahman who is 3 years old.

My family and I are currently displaced in different parts of Gaza, I am in Rafah as I need access to medical care while my family is displaced in Al-Mawasi. I visit them often and try to bring them as much as I can.

I asked my friend who currently resides in the US to help me draft this post so I can reach as many people as possible. Please donate if you can and share widely. InshAllah I can continue supporting my family and receive proper care for my heart condition so we can go back to our land and rebuild our home for my parents and my family.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Palestine will be free.
