I am Mahmoud from Gaza. I need your support

Peace be upon you, I'm Mahmoud, a 20-year-old young man from Gaza, I am a still a life. I dreamed of a better future for my family and me.

My family consists of 8 members; we lived a simple life but full of love and tranquility. We had a warm house, shops and cafes from which we earned our livelihood with dignity. But the recent war has turned our lives upside down. In moments, we lost everything: our home was destroyed, our livelihood was over, and even the security we felt became a distant dream.

We live in fear, in the midst of destruction, just trying to survive.

I didn’t want to reach this moment, but the need is stronger than me, and my family is the most precious thing I have. I need help provide them with temporary shelter, food and medicine, and try to give them back a little of the decent life we lost.
