</div>
<div>Hello everyone,
</div>
<div>I reach out to you with a heavy heart, as my family here in Gaza has been enduring an unimaginable genocide for over a year, which intensified brutally from October 7, 2023, and continues relentlessly to this day. I have no other option left but to share this link, hoping to save my family of ten.
</div>
<div>The eldest among us is my sister RAHAF, who is married and has two angelic children—FADEL, two and a half years old, and KENAN, a year and a half. These children were stripped of their childhood far too soon, after their home was completely destroyed, leveled to the ground in the second month of the war. Now they have no shelter, no toys, and no warm clothing to protect them from the winter cold. They live in constant fear and cries, traumatized by the relentless explosions and terrifying bombardments.
</div>
<div>We are now seeking a safe haven amid horrifying conditions filled with hunger, severe cold, disease, and the threat of deadly epidemics. One of the gravest challenges my family faces is the looming shadow of starvation, alongside an acute shortage of life’s most basic necessities, especially for the children—milk, diapers, healthy food, and a warm shelter. We urgently need your support and donations, which could change our lives and help us survive this devastation.
</div>
<div>I hope this message reaches you in safety and well-being. With a heart full of hope, I ask for your help, as your donation would be a lifeline for a family torn apart by conflict, fear, and the struggle to survive.
</div>

Humanity Relief for Mohammed’s family

<div>Hello, my name is Alaa Awad and I am posting this gofundme on behalf of my cousin Ahmed and his family in Gaza, below is his testimony.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hello everyone, I am Ahmed Nader Awad, a 21 year old citizen from Gaza. I came to you with a broken heart asking for help for me and my family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am writing this asking for help in any way to rebuild what the occupation destroyed since the 7th of October. So my family and I can leave Gaza after the destruction that befell and it became unlivable. There is no safe place remaining in Gaza and no places suitable for habitation, so there is no solution other than evacuation. From Gaza. Unfortunately, the cost of traveling and leaving is very expensive, and my family and I cannot afford the cost of travel. There is no solution other than your help by donating, sharing our story, or praying for us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am speaking to you and I am writing this after thinking for a long time before taking this step, but I realized that there is nothing left for us in Gaza after the brutal occupation crushed all our property, dreams and future... So I came with full hope from you that your donations will cover the cost of surviving and the evacuation to a better life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have a little brother named Kenan who was born only one month before the start of the genocide and lived his childhood in the war. What is the fault of this newborn child in coming to an environment in which there is nothing but killing, inhumanity and injustice? What is the fault of my little brother in waking up to the sound of explosions caused by the occupation instead of waking up to the voice of my mother and father.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Zionist occupation destroyed our home and our dreams and moved me and my family to live in tents in Rahaf after ordering and forcing us to leave northern Gaza.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Currently, I have been living in a camp in Rafah with my family for more than 200 days, struggling to access clean water, food, and the rest of life’s necessities.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am coming to you and I hope that you will help me and my family to leave Gaza and rebuild our lives that were destroyed by the occupation. My mother used to travel every 6 months to be treated because of problems in her heart and the treatment for her illness is not available in the Gaza Strip. Due to the genocide, my mother hasn’t been receiving consistent medical care which has been making her more and more weak.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All funds will helping my family and I evacuate out of Gaza through the Rafah boarder through the Ya Hala transportation services, getting my mother the medical care she needs, and other day to day necessities. The funds will cover myself, my father (Nader Mohammed Awad, 50 years old), my mother (Ashgan Muin Awad, 39 years old), my brothers (Kareem Nader Awad, 11 years old) and (Kenan Nadr Awad, 8 months old)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I hope that receiving my message will be important to you, and that it will make a difference for Palestinians in need. May God bless you all.
</div>

Help our family escape the genocide in Gaza

<div>The mariam's family is a family consisting of a mother, a father, 3 daughters, and 2 sons
</div>
<div>{Maryam, Malak, Maram, Sajid, Muhammad}
</div>
<div>They are now living in deadly conditions. They fled their home due to heavy bombing and are now living in a tent. In the winter, the rain fell on them, and they were wet with water in the extreme cold, and their covers were getting wet, so they were unable to warm themselves. Now in the summer, the internal temperature of the tent reaches 72 degrees Celsius, so they are unable to take shelter from the scorching rays of the sun and the summer heat.
</div>
<div>They drink contaminated water and eat canned foods, causing them serious illnesses, with no medicines, hospitals or even painkillers to ease the pain.
</div>
<div>Maryam suffers from severe stomach pain, while the mother Manar and Maram, suffer from kidney pain
</div>
<div>We want to get this family to safety to receive treatment and save them from death, so we need your help to save their lives.
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mariam talks about her life and says:
</div>
<div>We were living a happy and peaceful life. I was studying at the university, specializing in Doctor of Pharmacy. I was third in line and full of passion for studying, and I hoped to become a great doctor, but the war destroyed all our dreams and lives. All I wished for was to sleep at night without pain or fear. I want to I live a safe life without constantly running away from death
</div>
<div>This is Muhammad saying: I want to go back to school, go to the football club, and play with my friends and my brother. I don’t want to carry water every day and eat bad food. I want to live like other children in the world. I want to shower and sleep in a warm bed in our house.
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/79695351_1716731445773067_r.jpeg" width="100%" />
<div>Your donation will save the life of a family facing death every minute and help them rebuild their lives, as they live in a lack of security, food, clean water, healthcare and education.
</div>
<div>They need $35,000 ($5,000 per person) just to cross the Gaza border into Egypt
</div>
<div>The rest is for accommodation expenses and life necessities, such as food and health care for all of them, and for education after schools and universities were destroyed and they stopped studying for an entire academic year.
</div>
<div>Your donation will make a difference, it will give a life
</div>
<div>Thank you to every person who donated, supported us, and felt our suffering, thank you all ❤️

Help save Maryam's family from the scourge of war

<div>Hello, I am Shaima from Gaza. Throughout my life, I have never asked for help from anyone, despite going through many circumstances. I appeal to people with compassionate hearts to help me save my family and get them out of Gaza. We have sent messages to people to spread the word and help us, but no one is helping us. I have a daughter and my extended family. My mother, my younger sisters, and my daughter get sick every day due to lack of food, malnutrition, and hot weather. Help us please. Every euro helps us 
</div>

Help my family

<div>Hello! We are friends of <strong>Kseniia</strong> and are hoping to find others who will help to support her through a difficult time ahead.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Kseniia's story (in brief): Kseniia fled persecution in Russia for protesting (without destruction or violence) the war in Ukraine. As a talented computer scientist, she was hired to work for Harvard Medical School and came to the US on a work visa. She has worked hard and lived in the US for over two years now. Coming back from a trip in France, she had her visa revoked and stated she was afraid to be sent back to Russia. At that point, she was taken to an ICE detention center. We are awaiting her parole, but she has been detained since Feb 16. There are a lot of uncertainties here, but one thing is sure, she is supported in applying for a new visa. However, that is a multi-month process during which she will not be able to work thus not collect a paycheck. In the meantime, we are hoping to cover her monthly expenses (rent, groceries, utilities, etc.) and some anticipated legal expenses. (Currently the benefactor is set as her trusted roommate, friend and colleague since we do not have access to her bank information at this time. However all of the donations will go to her once she is able to access them.) As her friends and colleagues, we are humbly asking for donations to assist with Kseniia's bills until she is able to work in the US again. <strong>Thank you so much. *PLEASE DO NOT DIRECTLY MESSAGE OR MAIL ANYTHING TO HER PLEASE* Please leave any comments for her here and we will happily have her read them once she is home</strong>

<div>Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that every human being “has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.” (See below for further information on freedom of expression).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The Educational Bookshop</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Educational Bookshop is a family-run, independent chain of bookshops in occupied East Jerusalem. Since first opening its doors forty years ago, the bookshop has been thriving, today they are well-known to researchers, diplomats, journalists and tourists from countless countries, including Israelis.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Bookshop specializes in Arabic and English language books on Middle East studies including the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the history of Jerusalem, biographies and a large selection of literature. The books sold are published by world-renowned publishing houses and international research institutions.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mahmoud, who has often been referred to as “The Bookseller of Jerusalem,” also manages various cultural initiatives across Palestine and published the first Arabic edition of Granta magazine. Ahmad has been a bookseller at the Educational Bookshop for more than a decade and represents the third generation of booksellers within the distinguished Muna family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Bookshop raided by Israeli police: Mahmoud and Ahmad arrested</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On 9 February, Mahmoud and Ahmad Muna were arbitrarily arrested by undercover Israeli police while working at the Bookshops. They were handcuffed, taken to prison and physically abused by police. Additionally, the police confiscated more than 250 books (some have since been returned). Two days later, on 11 February, Mahmoud and his nephew Ahmad were released under several restrictions lasting for a month.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The charge against Mahmoud and Ahmad was initially suspicion of selling contents that is “inciting for violence,” but due to lack of evidence it was later altered to “disturbing the public order.” Resulting in keeping them for the night in custody.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>“I have never encountered a case where someone is held in custody overnight for suspicion of disturbing public order,” said Attorney Nasser Odeh, who represents the booksellers.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>“They used Google Translate on the books, and anything they didn’t like, they took,” said Murad Muna, Mahmoud’s brother. “They even found a Haaretz newspaper with a picture of the hostages and asked what it was, saying it was incitement. They took every book with a Palestinian flag on it.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Booksellers are not criminals. The arrest of Mahmoud and Ahmad was terrifying and not only violated their human rights, but is a stark reminder of the ongoing campaign to stifle free speech and celebration of culture particularly in the city of Jerusalem. Bookshop are a cornerstone for a healthy and inclusive societies. Booksellers are important in the facilitation of reading, writing, conversing and creating mutual understanding and respect in any society.

<div>What people say about Mahmoud, Ahmad &amp; The Educational Bookshop:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>“Mahmoud Muna’s wonderful bookshop [is] the best in Jerusalem ... [he] is a wonderful, wise and learned guy and has encouraged generations of travellers to read more deeply into the contested history of Jerusalem.” William Dalrymple, writer
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>‘I am proud to call Mahmoud and Ahmad friends. Both have been a source of strength and professional support to me, and Mahmoud and I have worked together, travelled together and shared a stage together before public audiences over many years. I have nothing but respect and admiration for the work they do in preserving, promoting and championing Palestinian literary culture in Jerusalem.’ Matthew Teller, writer
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>‘Another brilliant Muna family member, Ahmad is educated in one of the top universities who could have easily stayed abroad, yet decided to return to create positive change in his homeland.’ Dominika Blachnicka-Ciacek
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>‘I was at university with Mahmoud and I know him to be a thoughtful and generous reader, a man who cares passionately about freedom of speech and literature. His bookshops are a beacon of freedom in a bleak environment. It is a grim moment for culture and freedom when people are arrested for selling books and their books are seized. The parallels are obvious and horrible.’ Lynn Gaspard, Publisher, Saqi Books
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>‘I know Mahmoud well and admire him greatly. Bookselling is never an easy profession and it’s really challenging under occupation. Mahmoud’s shops are a haven of ideas, stories and imagination in a bleak place. He’s a quiet hero.’ Andrew Franklin, Founder, Profile Books and trustee of Index on Censorship
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>“Mahmoud has a gentle approach and engages in conversation with anyone who wants to talk. He is an address for many visitors to the city who want to understand the social and political complexities of the city. Ahmad has more of a generous spirit, always smiling and welcoming to all. Both are fount of knowledge. The Bookshop and the entire Muna family are among the greatest treasures of the beautiful city of Jerusalem.” -Diane Paul, human rights researcher and activist.
