Help Mahdi Al-Durra's Family Escape Gaza

Before the war, My family and I lived in an area called Wadi Gaza. On October 7th 2023 when the war began, my wife, my four daughters and I were displaced to the Bureij camp with my wife’s family. We were living in the most difficult times, with very little food and our young children experienced the worst level of fear and all kinds of injustice and terror.

My martyred daughter Jana and I

My daughter Rahaf, 7 years old

My daughter Hala, 4 years old

My youngest one Sama, 2 years old

The occupation told us that we must evacuate the Bureij camp, and we were then displaced again to the Nuseirat camp with my family, and my wife’s family.

A few days later, the house we were in was targeted without warning nor prior communication. In this terrible accident, I lost my 9-year old daughter Jana.

My wife’s three brothers, her sister, her sister’s husband with all their four children were all killed. My wife was severely injured and lost her left eye, and I was injured in my back.

From there started a deep suffering, the pain of separation, the physical pain, and we mourned my daughter and my wife's family.

A month after the incident, my wife was transferred from Gaza to Egypt and then Qatar to receive treatment because her health condition was deteriorating. She took my three children with her, and I am now in Gaza alone. The pain increased because of the distance.

I then received the news of the demolition of my house. I became homeless, without a job nor a family. In any case, I thank God for everything ...

I need your help to flee and join my family. The brokers that can help me escape request $5,000. After my wife’s treatment ends I will need to cover for housing, food, water and basic furniture.

May God make this fundraise successful and allow us to start a new life and live a life with dignity. I am grateful for you and for taking some of your time to read about my story. Even the smallest contribution would help.
