updated: 11/19/24
thank you for everyone who has donated to support my close relatives I am in total awe and amazed by your kind gesture. I wanted to give alittle update on the current circumstances in Gaza.
FOOD PRICES have been insanely raised marking it difficult to purchase. Some of the prices that my relative had relayed to me were:
• Potatoes per kilo for 320 shekels = $87 •Onions per kilo for 200 shekels = $55
•Green pepper per kilo for 480 shekels = $130
•Eggplant per kilo for 50 shekels = $14
• One egg for 13 shekels = $4
•A kilo of small green lemons for 30 shekels = $9
• A kilo of sugar for 80 shekels = $23
•One chicken, approximately one and a half kilos, for 270 shekels = $73
•Red pepper per kilo for 140 shekels = $38 •Flour for 450 shekels = $135
tents have been burned down around my relatives, due to the Israeli aggression on citizens causing many to relocate to other part.
Make a simple loaf of pita bread is stressful due to lack of wood and people have resorted to burning cardboard boxes and eating contaminated flower !!!
To whoever is reading this….
Hello, my name is Jehad Abuhamda. I’m an American/ Palestinian who is seeking for your support in helping me get my close relatives out into safety.
My relatives consist of a family of five.
Ahmed Abuhamda ( father)
Fatin Abuhamda (Mother)
Sama Abuhamda (6 years old)
Loai Abuhamda (3 years old)
Yousef Abuhamda (7 months old)
Since the attack on the 7th of October, and the start of Israeli reprisals, their daily lives have gradually fallen apart. Their whole area was targeted and by the grace of god, they were able to live for another day.
They lost everything. All around them, tens of thousands of people have died. They have managed to go to Deir Al-balah, which is the supposed safe zone yet it is also under bombing. But like all the survivors of this war, they are facing incredible amounts of hardship like lack of care, diseases, shortage of food, and most of all continuous bombing. From what my Relatives are writing to, it's clear the situation is deteriorating. Like you, I feel angry, sad, and so powerless.
My relative lived a hard life after having is right hand amputated from the remnants of Israeli explosives in a previous war. Despite that, it did not hinder him from working in order to provide for his family. But now that he has lost his home, and with the worsening living conditions, He has decided that it is best to leave for the sake of his children.
The reason we are wanting to raise $50,000, is due to the price of passage into Egypt.
1 adult costs $5,000
1 child costs $2,500
As I said before they are a family of 5, two adults and three children. The remain money will be for them to restart their life. From renting an apartment to cloths, food, schooling hopefully when they are able to register, appliances and basic furniture, website taxes and exchange rates. I very well understand that this is a large amount money, but together we can make it happen. My relative is an electrician/ cable technician with many years of experience. He is very resilient will hopefully be a will hopefully be able to find a job easily in his new environment. Every share on the social networks, every donation will count, even the smallest.
Thank you for reading, and please share to all your friends.
UPDATE 7/24/24
I want to thank each and every one who, so kindly donated towards my goal to help my close relatives evacuate the Gaza Strip. I will be doing updates on their situation with photos of them, and hopefully relocating to a safe country once they are able too. The situation in Gaza is very hard right now since the I*sraelis have complete desecrated the Rafa border crossing. The only way for them to hopefully leave, is by the war ending. I pray for all the family’s who have Been persecuted by this war. And to you, and your family’s who have so generously donated.
UPDATE 9/4
We have Relocated to another part in Dier Al Balah because of the heavy bombing.
Due to the lack of hygiene products and lack of water Ahmed children began to develop some skin diseases….
