Discover and support Gaza fundraisers

My name is Mahmoud Almassri. I am from Gaza and I am currently living in Scotland. I am running this campaign on behalf of my family in Gaza, who have lost their home and any sense of security but are still trying to survive.

In October 2023, our family home was destroyed. After that, my family went through repeated forced displacement, moving again and again under bombardment, close gunfire, and constant fear. For nearly two years, they have been living in tents, with no insulation against winter cold or summer heat. Water has been scarce, food has been irregular, and access to healthcare has been extremely limited. Even now, their living conditions are still unstable and unsafe.

Our family has suffered devastating losses. My brother Mohammed (29) was killed during the intense bombardment in the early days of the war. In July 2025, my father Hamed (60) was killed. He was the pillar of our family and the person who held us together.

My mother Ferial (52) has a chronic medical condition and needs continuous medication. With Gaza’s health system largely collapsed, she struggles to access treatment and her health has worsened. Winter makes this more dangerous because cold, poor nutrition, and lack of medicine quickly become life-threatening.

My younger siblings are still in Gaza. Their education has been disrupted for two academic years and a third year is now at risk. They are living through constant danger, and they do not have the basic support they need to continue learning.

My brother Ibrahim is carrying the weight of this tragedy on his shoulders. He is doing everything he can to help our family survive: finding food and clean water, securing medicine when available, covering emergency transport when it is possible, and trying to keep the family together. But the needs are too large and the costs are too high.

This fundraiser is to cover urgent essentials: food, hygiene supplies, clean water, medication for my mother, and winter protection such as blankets, warm clothing, fuel for heating when possible, and basic shelter support. It will also help with internet connectivity and education costs so my siblings can continue learning when possible.

Thank you for supporting our family. Your kindness means more than words can express.
