Help Coach Abed and His Children Survive in Gaza

Donation protected
Hello, I am Abed Rahman Muhammad Diab. I am 31 years old, married and father of three children. I am a resident of the northern Gaza Strip. I will share with you my story and what happened after October 2023. I used to work as a riding coach at the Al-Jawad Equestrian Club, and I was paid a good salary. I enjoyed my job.

I was able to fulfill all my needs for myself and my family. I, my father, and my brothers lived in one building of four apartments, each of us having a floor. This building was built by my father after 45 years of dedication, hard work, and sacrifice. But unfortunately, on the morning of October 13, the Occupation asked us to leave the house and go to the south of the Gaza Strip. My father and my brothers fled, along with a small newborn baby, my children. I remained in the in the house, hoping to protect her from war thieves. It was a difficult decision to leave a piece of your heart to volunteer, but there was no other alternative.

On the night of 05/01/2024, the occupation bombed our house, hitting me and my friend on our heads, and we suffered very serious injuries.

Also, a virus spread for many months, and I could not find anyone to take care of me. Despite this, I am a social builder during the war period, and I provide entertainment for Palestinian children and have assisted in making food packages and distributing water...

My home after it was bombed. It is fully exposed to the weather now.


After God healed me and I overcame the harm, I ask you to donate to me in order to help me care for my family in southern Gaza and meet the daily needs of me and my close friends who are stranded in northern Gaza, knowing that northern Gaza is suffering from a great famine. Every generosity you share, we will share here with those who are counting on us. Thank you for reading.
