Hello, I'm Ahmed Abu Awad, a Palestinian from Gaza City. I live in Turkey. I left Gaza three years ago to seek a better life and to pursue the simple dreams that were dying in Gaza because of the wars and because Gaza is considered a large prison. I have only four sisters. Two are married and two are still minors.


My eldest sister, Mai, has three children. Sarah, who is four years younger than me, has two children. And staying with my mother at home are Shams and Asil. Asil is the youngest member of the family. We discovered that she had leukemia when she was 9 years old, and to this day, she is growing older while the disease progresses.


When I traveled to Turkey, I didn't say goodbye to Asil and my mother because they were traveling for Asil's treatment. Now, since October 7th, the genocide has come and destroyed everything in Gaza—human, stone, tree, and animals, everything.


Our house and the houses of my married sisters were destroyed as well. My sister Sarah's husband was martyred, leaving behind two young children who will continue their lives without a father.



After our house was destroyed and burned in the Beach refugee camp in Gaza, my mother and my three sisters moved to southern Gaza, while my eldest sister stayed in Gaza with her three children and her husband, not migrating south due to the intensity of the bombings.


At this time, my father was in the hospital because half of his foot was amputated due to diabetes after his foot was injured during the war, leading to wound contamination. And now he sleeps in a tent away from my two sisters whom my mother left because the Turkish government took my sister Asil with my mother to Ankara for Asil's leukemia treatment in Turkey after 42 days of the genocide. But her condition worsens day by day due to the fear that dominates her mind as she constantly thinks about my sisters stuck in Gaza.


Now Sarah, who lost her husband due to the war, is raising two young children with my minor sister Shams in a tent. And my eldest sister, with her husband and three children, is stuck in the restricted red zone east of Gaza and cannot migrate anywhere. We managed to contact them after 130 days of the genocide! My mother thought they were killed!



My father is still in southern Gaza with the rest of my family, my grandfather, and my uncles in a large tent. Due to the genocide and the war, essential and daily necessities are extremely scarce, and if found, their prices are very high, meaning they need a lot of money to be able to ease their hunger or provide necessary things like baby diapers, milk, water, and much more. I need your help and support so I can save and support my three sisters and their five children stuck in Gaza under bombs and fires, so they can provide for themselves the necessary things to survive, "if they can." But then I can get them out of Gaza, which requires a lot of money that the Egyptian government takes, "illegal money - bribery." I need $5000 from each person to cross the wall from Gaza to Egypt! And also to provide for my mother and my sister Asil everything they need in Turkey.



Support my campaign so I can save my family, and for those who cannot provide financial support, share the campaign link so your friends and those who can support and help save my family trapped in Gaza under bombs and genocide can see it.
With all my love to you: Ahmed - Freedom for Palestine.
