Help Evacuate Four Brilliant Students from Gaza

Ata, Mohammed, Muhammad and Abdullah are four dear friends who need your support to evacuate Gaza.

These courageous students have been enrolled at Gaza's universities - all specializing in high-demand vocations, such as architecture, IT and interior design.

Recently, their beloved fifth friend was tragically killed as a result of the ongoing bombardment in Gaza in this Israeli genocidal occupation, crushing their dreams of reaching safety together. They honour their friend by seeking to complete their studies out of loyalty to him. Their academics and remarkable resolve to tackle life's challenges ahead will be dedicated to this friend.

A message from Mohammed Sobh:

Today’s students are tomorrow’s leaders.

We were five, and now we are four, young men from the Gaza Strip. We studied in Gaza's universities, studying freelancing specializations in high demand in the labor market such as architecture, information technology, and interior design.

We specifically turned to these specializations due to the lack of job opportunities in the Gaza Strip.

We were climbing the podium and were so close to graduating with our bachelors degrees. We aspired to work together and to build our own company, attract clients, implement various projects in our fields, and complete our educational and practical journey.

Suddenly, the war on Gaza began and the Israeli occupation did not leave any stone, tree or human being left without killing and destroying. What about our dream, which became a mirage, and everything we had planned for disappeared. Our main goal became to remain alive.

We have lived through many previous wars, but this war is not the same. It destroyed all universities and educational institutions, and we lost many close friends and relatives.

We faced difficulties in reaching the university level due to the restrictions imposed by the occupation for many years, and when we got close to reaping the benefits, everything disappeared.

We were five young friends. Abdullah studying multimedia technology, Atta studying information technology, Muhammad Sobh studying architecture, Muhammad Aql studying interior design, and the fifth... and our fifth friend is no longer here; the occupation killed him as a result of random bombing and killed his dream with him. Therefore, we made the decision to realize our dream out of loyalty to our friend.

Our plan is to leave the Gaza Strip and go to Egypt, complete the remainder of our university stage, and build our own company that we've always dreamed of.

This dream depends on your support and assistance to us. We still believe that we will find someone to stand with us and help us in these difficult times that we are going through.

This is our message to the whole world.

Each friend shares a little more about himself.

Mohammed Sobh:

Hello. I’m Mohammed sobh, I’m 22 years old. l live in Gaza with my family. I have 2 brother and 1 sister, my mother died in 2020. I study engineering in the Islamic University. I have one year left to graduate. I imagined that I would become a smart and successful engineer, but this war destroyed all my dreams and my passion.

‏I was filled with passion and very hopeful for a bright future, and was planning with my friends to start a small company for all types of designs. This genocide deprived us of the least rights. Even from comfort.

‏It is very terrible and terrifying. I hope this will end

I aspired to work online with freelancing platforms, complete my master’s studies, work with our own company with my friends, and learn the English language well, but war came and destroyed everything, and our ambition and dreams became that this war would end and we would remain well.

Abdullah Farajallah

Hello, I hope the reader is well.

I am Abdullah from the Gaza Strip, I am 23 years old, I study multimedia technology and web development at the Islamic University. I come from a family of 9 members, and my financial situation is average. Like any young man in the world, I have hobbies, dreams and ambitions.

My hobby is football and I have played in several local clubs. I entered the Islamic University in 2019, and I entered the field of technology because its field is broad and has many job opportunities, and to help my family and help my father, who spent his life educating and raising us.

My friends and I planned to open our own company in the field of technology, and we planned for this dream and pursued it.

When I was in my last year at university and when I was close to climbing the graduation podiums. Suddenly, war appeared and everything was destroyed

The first 20K raised here will be used to pay for evacuation fees for the four young men. Everything beyond that will be used for housing, living and medical expenses once they are safely out of Gaza.
