Gaza: We Still Need Your Help - Food is Here, But So Expensive!
Hey everyone, I'm writing to you again from Gaza with an important update. We're seeing some food in the markets now, which is a small relief. But honestly, it's really hard. There's not much food available, and because everyone needs it, the prices are just crazy high. It's almost impossible for my family and me to buy what we need every day.
My kids are still hungry, and every single day is a struggle to find enough to eat. Your help means the world to us. Even a small donation can make a huge difference, helping us buy food and giving us a little bit of hope.
And if you can't donate right now, that's okay! Please just reblog this post and share our story. Your voice is so powerful, and spreading the word helps us reach more people who can offer support. Thank you so much for standing with us. We're still here, and we're still trying our best to survive.
Help My Family Escape the War in Gaza: A Cry for Safety and Survival
Dear Friends and Supporters,
I write to you with a heart heavy with pain and urgency. My name is Mohammad Jamal Shamia, and I reside in Sweden. I am raising funds to help my family and loved ones, who are trapped in Gaza, escape the unimaginable horrors of war. Their lives have been turned upside down, and now they stand on the brink of despair, with no place to call home and no future in sight. We are fighting for their survival.
A Family Torn Apart by War
My family consists of eight members: my father, my mother, my four sisters, and my two brothers. Each one of them has a story of pain and loss, but I will start with my father, Jamal Shamia, who is still in Gaza. His home was destroyed in the very first days of the war. A single rocket shattered not just his home, but also our hopes and dreams. The life he had worked so hard to build was reduced to rubble in a heartbeat. He now stands without a roof over his head, in a place where there is no security, no peace, and no hope for the future.
My mother, who left Gaza for surgery in Egypt before the war started, is now stranded on the Egyptian side, unable to return and without any support. She worries every day about my father, her children, and grandchildren who remain in Gaza, not knowing if they will survive another day.
Sisters in Crisis: Homes Lost, Lives Disrupted
My sister Rasha Jamal Shamia and her husband, Khalil Abu Samaan, have two children, Mira and Omar. They have been forced to flee their home in Gaza City and are now living in a tent in Rafah, far from everything they once knew. Their home, their children’s education, and their future—everything is gone. Their days are filled with fear, and their nights bring no rest. The constant sound of bombs haunts them, and they have no way to provide their children with the life they deserve.
My sister Rana Jamal Shamia and her husband, Mohammed Salama, are in a similarly desperate situation. Their two children, Amir and Taim, witnessed the destruction of their home firsthand. The bomb that took away their shelter also left Rana and her family with deep physical and emotional scars. They are now displaced in Rafah, struggling every day to survive. The trauma they have endured is unimaginable.
My sister Maram Jamal Shamia and her husband, Mareed Al-Suwirki, were able to leave Gaza with their children, but they carry with them the scars of war. Their home in Gaza was destroyed, and they lost everything. Mareed, a dentist, lost his job, and they are now trying to rebuild their lives outside the war zone, but they need your help.
My youngest sister, Reem, has been living outside Gaza for some time, but she hasn’t been able to reunite with the family. The pain of separation and worry for her loved ones has been unbearable.
A Brother’s Dreams Shattered
My brother Ahmad Jamal Shamia is a bright, ambitious student who was in his third year of dental school at Al-Azhar University in Gaza. The war took everything from him—his education, his home, his dreams. Ahmad was ranked first in his class, always striving to be the best and help others. Now, he is left with nothing. He moves from one temporary shelter to another, hoping for a chance to continue his studies in Egypt. But without financial support, this dream too will be lost.
The Desperate Situation
The situation in Gaza is beyond dire. Every day, my family faces unimaginable hardships. They live in constant fear, with bombings happening around them day and night. They are without basic necessities—no reliable access to food, water, or medical care. The trauma of living through this horror has left deep emotional wounds that will take years to heal, if ever.
We are desperate to get them out. We want to transport them to Egypt, where they can begin to rebuild their lives and find safety. But this escape comes at a high cost. It will take $5,000 per adult and $2,500 per child to cross the border and start anew in Egypt. My family is counting on this fundraising effort to save their lives.
How You Can Help
Your support can make a life-saving difference. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to rescuing my family from this nightmare. With your help, we can reunite them with safety and security on the other side of the border. Time is running out, and the risks increase with every passing day.
Please consider donating to our campaign. Your generosity will not only provide my family with the means to escape the immediate danger but also offer them hope for a future where they can begin to heal and rebuild their lives. I cannot thank you enough for your support.
Together, We Can Save Lives
My family is relying on the kindness of strangers and friends alike to help them escape the ongoing violence. Your donation is not just financial assistance—it is a lifeline, a chance at survival. We need you now more than ever. Please, stand with us and help bring my family to safety.
Thank you for your kindness, your compassion, and your support. Together, we can make a difference. Together, we can save lives.

Every day, families like mine in Gaza face hunger, sickness, and fear. Children grow up without medicine, without safety, without hope. 💔
What hurts most is not only the bombs and the blockade — it is the silence of the world. The silence in the face of genocide. The silence when children cry for food and medicine, but their voices go unheard.
When you turn away, you leave us to die alone.
When you speak, when you act, when you share you keep us alive.
Please, don’t let this silence continue. Raise your voice. Share our cry. Stand with us before it is too late.
This isn’t a post showcasing a professional photo, a joyful moment, or a proud achievement.
Today, I’m here to raise my voice, to share the pain and suffering of my family, and to send out a heartfelt plea for help as we struggle to survive in the face of attempts at GENOCIDE.
If you’re able to support, we are deeply grateful. If not, sharing this post can also make a difference.
Your contributions will help bring us closer to safety.

Thank you from the depths of our hearts,
From the heart of Gaza.
The arm of a baby. Reaching out, one last time, as her little body is buried under the rubble. The weight of the brick and debris sank her little body deep into death, before she extended her arm for a help - one last time - that would never come. That never came.This image is perhaps the most emblematic of the world's apathy and complicity of the genocide in Gaza. So many vile governments Diabolical leaders Idle royals Futile organisations Facile politicians Invisible academics Silent cowards....Who could've said something, or did something, or forced something. But didn't. And as a consequence — left babies to die, alone and under the rubble of morbid graves they made. This baby will rest one final time underneath that rubble. Within its native land. Let the conscience of those that killed her, and her people, to never rest.
