I am Walid Mahmoud from Gaza, and for the past 12 years I have been a tireless activist shining a light on the heartbreaking struggles of the Palestinian people. Nine years ago, horror struck my own home when it was mercilessly bombed. Now, amid the relentless onslaught of aggression on Gaza, my family's sanctuary has been ravaged once again. It was with a heavy heart that I made the agonising decision to evacuate my loved ones and seek refuge beyond the borders of this war-torn land.

My in-laws, seven vulnerable souls, now look to me as their sole provider and protector. The burden weighs heavily on my shoulders as I strive to protect them from the unrelenting chaos that surrounds us. They too have endured the agony of displacement, uprooted from their homes by the relentless tide of war. From makeshift shelters in UNRWA schools to meagre tents and the fleeting hospitality of relatives, their journey has been one of unrelenting grief and despair.

Tragically, their once beloved agricultural village near the border, Khuza'a, has been in ruins since it was completely destroyed in 2014. Despite our tireless efforts and sacrifices amidst the harsh economic realities of Gaza, the homes we had painstakingly rebuilt were cruelly torn apart again in 2023.

Now, as we face the daunting prospect of rebuilding shattered lives, we face an insurmountable obstacle: the staggering financial burden that lies ahead. The amount needed to provide a glimmer of hope amidst the darkness that engulfs us is approximately $90,000 to $100,000.

With heavy hearts and tear-stained faces, we ask you, kind souls, to help us in our hour of need. Every contribution, no matter how small, is a ray of light in the darkness, a beacon of hope leading us to a brighter tomorrow. 

This war has taken almost everything away from me. 

My home and the homes of virtually every single member of my family were bombed, destroyed, or razed by Israel; all my memories, cherished belongings and community have been reduced to rubble and ashes. 

Thankfully, I still have my family and loved ones, but I’m extremely terrified and haunted by the thought of losing them. There is nowhere safe for them to be; they currently huddle in a primitive tent in dire conditions with little food and water in the Mawasi area after being displaced multiple times, and even there, the IDF has attacked the area multiple times. I’m particularly worried about my ailing father, Mahmoud, who cannot endure these conditions for long.

I have no choice but to seek a way out of Gaza for my family; to evacuate my parents, siblings, nephews, and nieces to safety. And for that, I desperately need your help, kindness, and generosity.

Right now, the only way to get my family out is to pay a fee to the Egyptian government of $5,000 per person and $2,500 per child.

Please help me see my family again and get them to safety before it’s too late.

Thank You for Your Generosity and Compassion.

Walid, 

love and peace to you All

Unemployment rates are rising yearly, life prospects are bleak, and many children and families are living merely to survive. Winter in the slums and refugee camps can be hard-hitting; but can we even make a small difference?!
The generosity of our donors has made our winter campaign possible.

Story

The situation in Gaza is terrible this winter

The Gaza Strip is one of the worst places in the world to be this winter. Thousands of families are living in slums and makeshift shelters that flood with freezing water when it rains, and offer little protection from the harsh winter temperatures. The nights are bitterly cold, and fuel for cooking and heating is scarce. Pregnant women and small children are living in these shocking conditions.

Gaza is part of the Palestinian territories, bordered by Egypt and on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea. It has a population of 1.9 million, and after years of bitter conflict, the people of Gaza are some of the most vulnerable in the world.

Devastation and suffering

The current situation in Gaza is bleak. The escalations of violence has shattered infrastructure, destroyed more than 18,000 homes and torn families apart. 50% of the population of the Gaza Strip live below the poverty line and 44% of households are experiencing food insecurity.

Gaza's public health system suffers from shortages in skilled staff and medical supplies. 17 hospitals and 56 primary healthcare facilities have been destroyed or severely damaged by the hostilities. Hundreds of amputees have been left waiting for prosthetic limbs, and delays in performing elective surgeries cause unnecessary pain, frustration and increase the chances of infection. The constant power cuts make delivering vital services very difficult, and the electricity deficit has reached a high point of 65%.

Gazas children in crisis

In any conflict, children endure the most suffering. The children of Gaza have witnessed horrors that no young person should have to see. They live in fear, without stability or security.

More than 160,000 children are in desperate need of continuous psychological support due to the trauma caused by living through a terrible conflict.

Palestinian children living in Gaza are being denied an education, as bombing has rendered 50% of all kindergartens and 30% of schools unfit for use. The UN estimates that 1,000 of the 2,955 children injured due to the violence will be permanently disabled.

What can I do to help?

Friendship for Relief and Development is in Palestine, providing humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza this winter. Emergency provisions, including food parcels, warm clothes and shoes, blankets, and mattresses, are being distributed to vulnerable families who completely rely on this support. The generosity of our donors has made our winter campaign possible.

With your help, we can save lives in Gaza and bring an end to the suffering of innocent children.

Join us. Act now.

What is QURBANI 2022 Project?

Starting from this, FRIENDSHIP FOR RELIF AND DEVELOPMENT (FRD)  implements Qurbani Project each year as part of its Al-Adha Eid projects. 

This project targets the most vulnerable families living in GAZA and is implemented yearly all over the GAZA STRIP .

It is considered a crucial project due to its role in strengthening the bonds between the members of the communities (the privileged with the under-privileged) as well as providing the people who perform the ritual of sacrifice during the Adha Eid with the opportunity to donate the fresh meat to the most vulnerable families, which is the main objective of performing this type of ritual in the first place.

In line with UNDP’s SDG # 2 “Zero Hunger” which calls for “ending hunger and ensuring access by all people, in particular the poor and people in vulnerable situations, including infants, to safe, nutritious and sufficient food all year round by 2030” and “ending all forms of malnutrition”, FRD launches its annual “Qurbani Project” which aims at providing meat portions to the most vulnerable families in GAZA, inclusive of needy families as well as Palestinian refugees living in  camps.  

What is the current situation in GAZA?

GAZA is facing a multi-layered crisis. 

within the context of a fragile and over 15 years of blockade and weakened economy, is critically affecting the livelihood and socio-economic conditions of the gazans population and -by default- the refugees’ as well.

The imposed blockade exacerbated the implications of the deepened fiscal and economic crisis, both horizontally and vertically. Horizontally, vulnerability is fast expanding to reach wider segments of the population; vertically, the depth and extent of vulnerability are intensified crossing 50% poverty and unemployment rates.

FRD will be supervising the slaughtering of donated Qurbans (sheep or cow) as well as the butchering, packaging, and distribution of meat portions to the poor families living in designated underprivileged areas during the first day of Adha Eid. 

Each meat portion weighs 3 kg approximately. Prices differ depending on the slaughtered animal as shown in the below diagram:

The project will be implemented under FRD Relief sector and will be managed by a sub-committee composed of selected staff members from different departments and sectors. 

Qurbani Prices for the years 2022 / 1440 are as follow:

​

More than half of population in Gaza Strip lives below poverty line, according to UN data.

As we used to do every month of this year to launch an initiative to provide food baskets to the families most in need during the month of Ramadan, today we have decided to return this initiative because it has contributed so much to helping and meeting the basic needs of many families during the month of Ramadan. Over the past years, we've provided food supplies to hundreds of families, and that's relieving people to provide food.

We invite you to support this initiative this year as well to reach the goal, and we will follow with you updates as usual, thank you all for your generous and lasting support to you with all respect and appreciation.

With love and Peace.

Best Regrads,

Walid Mamhoud..

Will Gaza’s health care system be able to stem the spread of the virus?

Global monitoring of the pandemic’s spread indicates that every infected individual will likely infect 2 to 2.5 other people – a pace similar to that of the Spanish Flu and much higher than the Swine Flu that hit in 2009. At the moment, stopping the spread depends on two main factors, screen testing for the virus and isolating those who tested positive to prevent continued spread. In the current conditions, it is unlikely that the authorities in Gaza will be able to provide the necessary response. So far, only 92 tests have been administered in Gaza, and it’s unclear how successfully the authorities can enforce isolation in one of the poorest and most densely populated places in the world. Add to that the debilitated water and sewage infrastructure, which makes it much harder to maintain the required standards of hygiene and protection during an epidemic

We Are here To help.

We will create a team of volunteers to work in the field providing the basic needs of the population and providing sterilization tool

In these difficult times, we are doing our best to protect people, especially poor families who cannot buy sterilizers.

The situation in Gaza is catastrophic and we need your support to stand as one hand to confront this virus and prevent its spread in Gaza.

Through this campaign, we will provide sterilization equipment for families here, and we will coordinate with the Ministry of Health in order to provide them with the necessary medical equipment such as an isolation suit and masks.

By your support to this Campaign we will make a difference, let's make things change for better. 

Please Show your Support AT :  Covid-19 in Gaza Emergency Relief

As Gaza nears to the 2020 uninhabitability deadline, and a freezing cold winter hits its besieged population; we should try if even on a micro level to do our best to bring warmth and happiness to its children.

That's why I've relaunched our "Keep Me Warm" campaign hoping to bring the heartwarming spirit of Christmas to our people in Gaza.

My friends, your unmatched kindness and generosity will mean the world to the hundreds of kids who will receive winter clothing and umbrellas and the tens of families that we'll help to fix the roofs of their houses and provide with stoves from your crucial donations.

Please donate to and share our campaign so that together, we can bring a gentle breeze of hope to Gaza's children.
