Her children frequently suffer from skin diseases, colds, and flu as access to medical care and basic necessities remains limited. The family is also grieving the recent loss of Ragad’s brother, along with several other relatives martyred during the genocide.

🚨The last donation was 3 months ago🚨 Mahmoud Kasem's Family #VerifiedByRadioWatermelon chuffed.org/project/140369-w… Please donate and share Hunger is real in Gaza Your help is even more real Mahmoud Kasem is a 37-year-old father from Gaza who has been displaced 23 times with his wife, Asooma and their two children since October 2023. Before the genocide, the family lived in their home in Gaza City’s Al Naser neighbourhood, where Mahmoud worked as a hardware engineer at a computer company. Their daughter Fofo was born on December 17, 2021, and was only 18 months old when the bombardment began, while their son Qasem was born during the siege on July 3, 2025. Since losing their home and livelihood, the family has moved between Nuseirat camp, Khan Younis, Mawasi, and other areas, often fleeing with little more than what they could carry. They now live in a tent where they face extreme heat and cold, shortages of food and clean water, rising disease, and constant fear of further attacks. Fofo, now over three and a half years old, has spent most of her childhood surrounded by displacement and instability, while baby Qasem needs milk, diapers, and basic supplies that have become difficult to afford as prices continue to rise and border crossings remain closed. Mahmoud hopes to support his family by starting a small solar power and internet business using equipment such as solar panels, a battery, an inverter, a NanoStation M5, and a laptop so he can regain a source of income and provide more stability for Asooma, Fofo, and Qasem.
🚨 EVICTION THREAT & EDUCATION APPEAL FOR FOFO 🚨 My daughter Fofo is 5 years old. She loves to learn and write, but because of the ongoing war, I lost my job and cannot find any work. I can no longer afford her basic school fees or supplies. To make things worse, we have unpaid rent for our small home and face immediate eviction at any moment. We are struggling just to secure clean water and food. Please help us protect Fofo’s right to learn and keep a roof over our heads. Even $5 or a simple RT makes a huge difference.

Lana's Family #VerifiedByRadioWatermelon Lana is a young engineering student from Gaza who has been displaced with her family after their home was bombed in October 2023, the same house they had rebuilt over ten years after it was destroyed during the 2014 siege on Gaza. She now lives in a cramped tent with her family of eight, including her six siblings and her father, who was seriously injured by shrapnel and continues to suffer from blood clots, breathing problems, and worsening vision while access to proper medical care remains extremely limited. After pausing her studies at Al-Azhar University, Lana began preparing for high school exams in the literary stream while enduring repeated displacement, cold winter weather, soaked clothes, and severe shortages of food and basic supplies. Despite losing nearly all of their belongings and facing ongoing hardship, she remains focused on continuing her education and hopes to one day rebuild a stable home for her family and support her community, while fundraising to cover essentials such as food, warmth, and her father’s urgent medical treatment.
Replying to @jaytweetz07
I am an engineer who has endured loss and hardship. I lost my home twice—once in the 2014 war and again recently. I survived under the rubble by a miracle and now live in harsh conditions. I am striving to rebuild my life and support my family, and I need your help to overcome

🚨The last donation was 7 months ago🚨 Muhammad Sameh's Family #VerifiedByRadioWatermelon gofundme.com/f/u7jqm-help-mu… Please donate and share Your kindness can feed more than just bodies It feeds souls Muhammad Sameh is a 26-year-old Palestinian graphic designer from Gaza who is trying to support a family of nine while living in a crowded tent after their home and freelance design studio were destroyed in the bombing. Before the genocide, he worked in advertising and publicity, creating designs, montage work, and motion graphics, and had become engaged just two months before the genocide began. He is now caring for his two young children, a toddler and a 3-year-old, along with his elderly mother, sisters, including one who suffers from hypertension, his fiancée, and other family members. With no stable work and prices for essentials rising sharply, the family faces daily shortages of food, clean water, medical supplies, and safe shelter, especially during the cold winter months. Muhammad says it can cost around $80 a day just to feed everyone, with a single bag of flour reaching nearly $300, and all donations go directly toward helping his mother, sisters, fiancée, children, and the rest of the family survive these conditions.
This is a reminder that we are being starved and most have reached stage 5 malnutrition. KEEP TALKING ABOUT US. We are dying of thirst and hunger ✌️🇵🇸🍉 If you're scrolling, PLEASE leave a dot. gofund.me/a96fb8fd it's just a dot.

🚨The last donation was 2 months ago🚨 Omar Jamal's Family #VerifiedByRadioWatermelon gofundme.com/f/i-i-live-in-a… Please donate and share While the World Watches You Can Feed Omar Jamal is a father of three children, Basma, Nesma, and Mohammed, who has been struggling to keep his family safe and supported in Gaza after years of hardship and repeated displacement. In 2018, Omar suffered a serious injury that led to the loss of his right kidney and required four months of treatment across Jordan, Iraq, and Egypt; he has also lived with a spinal injury for the past six years that limits his ability to work. Since October 2023, the genocide has destroyed his home and source of income, forcing the family to move from place to place before ending up in a tent with little protection from heat, cold, insects, and ongoing shelling. Food, clean water, and basic hygiene supplies have become extremely expensive, often costing many times more than before, while there is no stable income available. Omar says the emotional toll on his children has become especially difficult, recalling a recent conversation in which his daughter Nesma told him she felt exhausted and had lost hope after living through years of siege and fear. Through this fundraiser, Omar is asking for support to help his family cover daily living expenses, access basic necessities, and eventually raise the high costs required to evacuate Gaza through Egypt in search of safety.
We are not beggars. Before the war, I worked as a graphic designer, but the war took away my livelihood. Now, rain and floods have destroyed our tent, bedding, and clothes. Any donation, no matter how small, could help us survive. If you can't donate, please share our campaign.

Alaa's Family #VerifiedByRadioWatermelon Alaa, a displaced father from Gaza, is caring for his three young children alone after his wife was martyred during the genocide and he was severely injured in a landmine explosion that left his right arm and hand permanently disabled. With no stable income, shelter, or support, the family has been sleeping outdoors while trying to survive ongoing displacement and harsh living conditions. One of his sons lives with Tourette’s syndrome and a speech impediment, while his daughter stopped speaking after the trauma of losing her mother, witnessing violence, and repeated displacement. Alaa now spends his days trying to secure food, clean water, medicine, and basic necessities for his children despite his injuries and the lack of resources available to them.

🚨Low donations - Only £311 raised🚨 Newly #VerifiedByRadioWatermelon today chuffed.org/project/please-h… The last donation was 3 days ago Please donate and share A small donation can fill an empty stomach tonight Amna is a 43-year-old separated mother of ten children, eight girls and two boys, from Gaza. Both of her sons were martyred during the genocide, and following their deaths, her husband left her. She has since been dealing with severe psychological distress and requires medication that costs around $250–300. Amna now lives with her eight daughters in a makeshift tent on the grounds of a school. The shelter is not suitable for a family of their size, and they hope to get a proper tent with better living conditions, as they currently do not even have a bathroom. Her daughters range in age from 24 years to just 10 months old, and the youngest needs regular supplies of milk and diapers. Amna has no source of income or support and manages everything alone, including collecting food from soup kitchens and carrying water for the family. They receive meals from a soup kitchen at most once a week, leaving them struggling to meet their basic food needs. She has also accumulated debt that she hopes to repay. Her daughters are currently unable to attend school because she cannot afford the costs, and her own psychological difficulties make it difficult for her to support their learning at home. Amna is trying to care for all eight girls while also managing her health, their daily needs, and the challenges of living without reliable support.
My daughter Maryam in Gaza desperately needs hearing aids ($1,000) and ear surgery ($2,000). Not a single person has donated to help her yet. As her mother, I beg you, please don’t leave my little girl without the treatment she needs. 💔chuffed.org/project/please-h…

The tent needs around $300–400 in repairs, but the family has no source of income other than donations. They depend on charity kitchens for food and often go hungry when meals are not available. They also receive no aid packages from NGOs. Nour's biggest concern is her 4.5-year-old daughter, who suffers from cochlear damage and chronic ear infections following an injury during a strike. She needs a hearing aid costing around $1,000, while her ear drops and medication cost approximately $100 every month. Being able to help her daughter hear is Nour's number one priority. Her 7.5-year-old son is also suffering from malnutrition, and she is struggling to meet the needs of all six children, who range in age from 4.5 to 14. Their education has been heavily disrupted, with the children attending school every other day for only a couple of hours, far from the education they received before the genocide. Their combined education expenses amount to around $200–300 per month. With winter approaching, repairing the tent is also important to provide the family with better protection from the cold. Nour is doing everything she can to care for her children, but without an income or regular humanitarian assistance, providing food, shelter, medical treatment and education has become increasingly difficult. She is asking for support, especially to help her daughter get the hearing aid and treatment she needs, while also covering the family's basic needs and improving their living conditions.

🚨The last donation was 26 days ago🚨 Newly #VerifiedByRadioWatermelon today chuffed.org/project/help-ema… Please donate and share Be the reason a Palestinian family eats today Eman M. Al-Jaboor is a 38-year-old woman from Gaza who is single and has no children. She has lived with thalassemia since birth and depends on regular medication, hospital visits, and blood transfusions to maintain her health. She also underwent surgery to remove her spleen, making consistent medical care especially important. Her sister has the same condition, and their medication costs around $200 per month. Since the genocide began, Eman and her family, including her parents and three siblings, have been displaced around 10 times and now live in a tent on rented land, which costs $200 a month and is not suitable for the coming winter. They cannot return to their home because the area is in a designated red zone. The family relies mainly on donations and occasional aid packages, while food from community kitchens and access to clean water are inconsistent, often leaving them to buy drinking water themselves. Eman's biggest priority is being able to afford the medication she and her sister need, including Ferriprox, which costs approximately $100 per month for her treatment alone. She also needs help covering hospital transportation and blood transfusions, as reaching medical facilities and finding essential medicines have become increasingly difficult. The family is hoping to raise around $600 to repair their tent with metal rods or wood and tarpaulin before the winter rains. Eman is asking for support to continue her treatment, cover basic living expenses, and keep a safe place for her family to stay.
Born with thalassemia. Regular blood transfusions keep me alive. In Gaza, getting treatment is a daily struggle medicine, hospital visits, transport, costs. I just want the chance to keep living. @oliveegirl

Newly #VerifiedByRadioWatermelon today chuffed.org/project/123794-h… Please donate and share Gaza’s plates are empty Let’s change that Ilham Bilbeisi is a 25-year-old from Gaza who lives with her parents and four siblings. She studied Medical Laboratory Science at Al-Azhar University and was in her final year when the university was destroyed after October 2023. Her family has been displaced around eight or nine times and is now living in rented space in a damaged building, sharing the accommodation with at least 45 other people and paying $500 a month. Her father, Mahmoud (48), was a police officer who was injured by a missile while on duty, leaving an artery in his thigh severed and eventually resulting in the amputation of one leg. He is still receiving treatment and urgently needs a prosthetic limb to walk again. Her mother, Sabrin (42), is a homemaker, while her brother Atef (22), who previously worked in the aluminium industry, has lost both his job and home. Her sister Amal (20) was studying Administrative Secretarial Studies at Al-Aqsa College before it was destroyed, and her fiancé was also martyred during the genocide. Her younger brother Fathi (17) is a high school student, while Mohammed (6) has been unable to attend school because the schools in their area have been destroyed. The family receives no support from soup kitchens or aid packages because they are not living in a registered tent, and with very few job opportunities, they rely on donations to cover their basic needs, rent and Mohammed's school expenses of around $70 a month. Ilham also needs $2,200 to withdraw her university degree, which would allow her to seek work and support her family or continue her studies in cancer biology, with the long-term goal of establishing a cancer research centre for underserved communities. She is also trying to raise funds to help her family evacuate Gaza, with the reported cost ranging from $7,000 to $10,000 per person, and to ensure her father receives the treatment and prosthetic limb he needs.

Her family has been displaced seven times since the beginning of the genocide, and their homes have been destroyed. No one in the family has been able to find work, and they have received no humanitarian aid or support from soup kitchens since at least October 2025, leaving them dependent entirely on donations. Her mother suffers from rheumatoid arthritis, high blood pressure, and diabetes, requiring medication that costs between $200 and $300 each month. Her father also has high blood pressure and a heart condition, with monthly medication expenses of $100–$200. Ayat's brother lives with the family along with his baby, who needs regular supplies of milk and diapers. Her sister also lives with them after losing her husband during the genocide, while her daughter suffered severe burns and continues to receive treatment. Ayat has been studying at Al-Aqsa University since 2022 and is now close to completing her master's degree in Law. Despite living with a permanent hearing impairment and the difficulties of studying through siege and repeated displacement, she has maintained excellent academic results with honors. However, she cannot afford her remaining university fees or the cost of defending her thesis, putting her degree at risk. She also lost her hearing device during one of the displacements and needs a replacement costing more than $1,000, which is difficult to find. Ayat is asking for support to cover her outstanding tuition fees, help with her family's medical and daily expenses, and replace her hearing device so she can complete the education she has worked so hard to achieve.
My name is Ayat. I am a university student on the verge of graduation, living in Gaza, where we struggle with a lack of food and money. I sincerely ask for your help to achieve my dream and complete my university education. 🙏❤️ chuffed.org/project/210355-h…

Speaker #5 Basheer Al-Masry @BasheerMasry Basheer Al-Masry, 30, is a married father of two from Beit Hanoun, Gaza, currently displaced in Khan Yunis and sheltering in a school with his wife, their children Maryam (3) and Khalil (11 months), and his mother. Their home was bombed on October 7, forcing the family into repeated displacement, with Basheer reporting they have been displaced at least 17 to 18 times since the start of the genocide. Before the siege, he worked in a clothing store that was destroyed in an airstrike that also martyred the owner and his family, leaving him without income. Basheer’s mother lives with high blood pressure and arthritis, has lost sight in her right eye, and now faces weakening vision in her left eye that requires surgery and travel for treatment, while her medications cost approximately 500–700 shekels each month. The family is sheltering near an exploded sewer line, where poor conditions have contributed to health concerns for Khalil, who has suffered bug and flea bites, faces malnutrition, and requires diapers and formula. Basheer’s campaign seeks support to secure food, basic necessities, safer shelter conditions, and medical care for his mother while helping provide stability and essential care for his young children. chuffed.org/project/176631-b…
