Save Ahmed and his family from genocide and hunger

Hello, my friends, my name is Dr, Ahmed Abu Mustafa . I am a Palestinian Doctor at Nasser Medical Hospital in Gaza. I am creating this page because I really need your support to evacuate my family from Gaza to Egypt.

I have decided to set up this page after great contemplation and hesitation. When I realised that there are no longer any options left for me to support my family here or to keep them safe. The situation in Gaza is very dangerous . I have been working for 135 days now in Nasser Hospital as volunteer doctor of the Emergency Department and the intensive care unit , while my family was living in the school . However, unfortunately I have lost everything including my family home to this war, it got bombed and I remained empty handed. A week ago the Israeli army threatened the school that was my family home so they forced to evacuate and move out of it I had no idea where they went there was no communication at all .

Tow days ago I evacuated from naser hospital with my colleagues after the army besieged us in the hospital without water, electricity, food or medicine . I had evacuated after working 48 hours in the emergency department with no sleep or rest and I walked about 11 hours I have seen dead bodies and injuries but the soldiers had shot everyone who went to help them. And they forced us to take off our clothes in the rain . I was about to die two times out there in direct but my gods mercy saved me. I walked in the night 3 hours looking for my family but when I found them they were in a tent with no food, no clean water, no bathroom . Now I’m living with them in the tent and we suffering from the cold and hunger.

My experience of this war has been very traumatizing. All forms of humanity and living have been stripped away from us. Instead of seeing fireworks lighting our sky, we see phosphorus bombs, Eitan drones. We sleep with constant fear and bombing around us.

There has not been a single night of peace since the start of this. Instead of seeing smiling happy children, I see children with tears and in pain. Everybody is in pain in Gaza. Children are crying here instead of laughing. Happiness has been wiped away from the city of Gaza. Families have been ripped apart. Everybody around me is dying, and even my help is not enough. We are targeted everywhere. The safety of my family is not guaranteed. All supplies are dwindling. Gaza is dying and everybody who is here is just a walking dead man. Nobody sees my pain. I have to put up a smile to the world and to the children I treat. I seen all the atrocities this war has brought onto our people. Palestinian mothers crying for their martyred children, widowed wives, orphaned children. The airstrikes and bombings are coming closer to us . In Gaza we got used to this life of pain. The only new thing now is the different artillery being used against us.

I might not survive this, but I want to give my family a chance. I have lost everything to this war. I have no funds. I just want to evacuate my family to ensure they are in a safe country if God forbid, I am no longer here for them. The permit fee per person now to cross Rafah now has risen to $5,000. Fee per Adult is $5,000 and the fee per Child is $2,500. There are 6 adults and 2 children in my family, there is also $5,000 immediate relief fund. Finally, approximately $1,624 to cover the GOFUNDME transaction fees (2.9% + $0.30 per transaction).

These are the fees they imposed on my family to live. As I am writing this, I can hear bombing happening everywhere here around the tent . I am reaching out for your support and generosity. I need your help to have my family evacuated to Egypt. My hope actually is to provide better living for me and my family . I want them to live in peace. We want to live like you, like other people in the world, in peace! That’s it. Your donations are helping to free a life! Your donation, no matter how small, will make an impact. And it will contribute to get my family to safety. This is my final wish to the world as a Palestinian Doctor.

Thank you so much for reading my message and your support. If you aren’t able to donate, please share. I really appreciate your donations, help and your support.

A Malik is the organizer of this fundraiser and Intisam will be in charge of transferring the funds outside of GoFundMe to Dr. Ahmed to cover all the expenses related to his family’s evacuation.
