[Rashed Abu hashem @H2011Rashed]

My name is Rashed Mohammad Abu Hashem. I am 30 years old, from Rafah, Gaza. Today, I am asking you to please take a moment to read my story. I am not asking for luxury. I am asking for a chance to survive.

On May 18, 2024, my family home in Rafah was bombed. I lost two of my brothers in that attack, and our home, memories, and everything we had built over the years were destroyed. My family lost its bookstore too, which was my elderly father’s livelihood and life’s work.

Today, my family of 10 is struggling to survive. We have spent years living in tents, facing extreme heat in the summer and freezing conditions in the winter. Our tent is worn out, and with winter approaching, we urgently need a safer place to stay.

My father is elderly. My mother and three sisters depend on our support. My eldest sister is studying nursing, and the costs of her education are difficult to manage.

My wife is also a nursing student, close to graduating, and she is pregnant with our baby boy, whom we plan to name Elias. She is struggling with malnutrition because food, vegetables, and meat have become extremely difficult to afford in Gaza.

I have no stable source of income. Every day is a struggle to find food, clean drinking water, and basic necessities for my family.

I lost two brothers. I lost my home. But I have not lost hope.

I am asking you from the bottom of my heart: please donate whatever you can. Even a small contribution can help us buy food, clean water, repair our shelter, and prepare for the arrival of our baby.

If you cannot donate, please repost, quote-post, and share our fundraiser. Your voice can reach someone who may be able to help.

Please don’t let our story disappear.

Help me protect my family and give baby Elias a chance at a better future.

@guirilondoner @grok When the temperature inside a tent is 16°C during winter, does a person feel cold?

[Rashed Abu hashem @H2011Rashed]

Dear world,
Every day, people in Gaza start queuing for bread at 3 AM and wait until 8 AM, hoping to get just one bag of bread to feed their families.
Imagine waking up before dawn, standing in the cold and exhaustion, just to bring home a little bread for your children.
This is the daily struggle for survival in Gaza. How much longer must people endure this?

[Rashed Abu hashem @H2011Rashed]

I never imagined I would have to ask strangers around the world for help just to keep my family alive.
I lost my home and two beloved brothers in Gaza. Today, my family and I are still living in a tent, struggling every day to survive.
I’m asking you to stand with us, break the world’s silence, and refuse to let our suffering be forgotten.
Please support my fundraiser, share my story, and help my voice reach every corner of the world.
Every donation matters. Every repost matters. Every voice matters.
Together, we can make a difference. Please don’t let my family face this struggle alone.

@Lowkey0nline @Lowkey0nline Brother, I have been pleading with you for two years to publish my story.

[Rashed Abu hashem @H2011Rashed]

My heart is completely shattered by the loss of my beloved family members during the genocide. I carry this pain with me every single day. But whenever I see people like you speaking up for us, sharing our stories, and refusing to let the world forget us, it brings a little happiness and hope back into my heart. Thank you for standing with us. ❤️

[Rashed Abu hashem @H2011Rashed]

Israel is still bombing Gaza, and WESTERN MEDIA IS SILENT ABOUT IT!

DON'T STOP TALKING ABOUT GAZA!

[Rashed Abu hashem @H2011Rashed]

@AnabelAlonso_of Yes, tents are expected to be brought into Gaza in the coming days. This is happening thanks to your efforts to make our voices heard around the world. We are deeply grateful to every one of you who stood with us and refused to let the world forget Gaza. ❤️

@UNReliefChief Share plz bro Tom

[Rashed Abu hashem @H2011Rashed]

My dear friends, I’m grateful that this post has reached so many people. If my story has touched your heart, I kindly ask you to consider supporting my family in Gaza through my GoFundMe campaign.

Every donation, no matter how small, means food, warmth, and hope for my family. If you cannot donate, please share the campaign. Your kindness means more than words can express. ❤️ https://t.co/YhR105Nu4r

You must put an end to this nonsense. For three years, the people of Gaza have repeatedly asked you to change the contents of your food parcels, yet you continue distributing the same boxes filled with nothing but lentils and beans.
This is unacceptable. If each food parcel costs $200, why not give that money directly to families so they can buy fresh meat, vegetables, and other essential food items according to their needs?
People in Gaza deserve dignity, choice, and proper food, not the same repetitive food boxes year after year. This organization needs to be held accountable for its approach and the way it spends humanitarian funds.

[World Food Programme @WFP]

Winter is hitting families in #Gaza hard, damaging shelters, community kitchens and food supplies.

WFP is providing food parcels, cash and hot meals, but funding cuts are reducing assistance when families need it most.

@John_B_RIC I hope that happens soon.

🔹 BREAKING

Israel has reportedly allowed the entry of more than 91,000 tents, over 8,200 trucks carrying blankets, winter clothing and bedding, 12 sewage water-pumping trucks, equipment to repair water and sewage networks, and fuel to operate treatment plants in Gaza.

This is what your voices, posts, and relentless advocacy can achieve.

Never underestimate the power of speaking up. Your words matter. Keep raising your voices for Gaza! ❤️

I beg the world never to forget what happened to my family.
The day Israel carried out a massacre against my family, my brothers Hamza and Al-Hussein were killed. The rest of us survived by what can only be described as a miracle.
Today, I am crying out to you from inside Gaza. I am a survivor of genocide, a man who lost his brothers, his home, and the life he once knew.
Please, my friends, do not let our voices disappear into silence. Keep speaking about us. Keep sharing our stories. Keep reminding the world that behind every headline are human beings, families, and lives that will never be the same.
I survived, but a part of my heart died with my brothers. Please, do not let the world forget us.

On May 18, 2024, Al Jazeera documented the bombing of our home in Rafah. I lost two beloved family members that day. Our home was destroyed, but the pain and memories will never fade. We are not just numbers. 💔

@Jojosdojo Only leather tents.

[Rashed Abu hashem @H2011Rashed]

This is Gaza before and after Israel unleashed its destruction upon it. These Google Earth screenshots reveal the unimaginable scale of devastation.

They didn’t just destroy buildings. They erased entire neighborhoods, shattered families, buried memories, and wiped out places where generations once lived.

Our family home was among those destroyed. A home filled with memories, love, and years of our lives. Today, it exists only in our memories.

They didn’t just destroy our homes. They tried to erase our history, our identity, and our existence.

They literally erased Gaza from the map. And the world must never forget.

@BigbiYahuwitz They killed my siblings and destroyed our home is that enough?

A few months ago, during the famine in Gaza, I was so desperately hungry that I ate flour mixed with sand, stained with the blood of a young man who had been shot by Israeli occupation forces and later died.

There were days when I went to sleep with an empty stomach. My own family began arguing and fighting with one another because hunger had pushed us all to our breaking point. We were not ourselves anymore. We were simply trying to survive.

Imagine being so hungry that you have no choice but to eat flour mixed with sand and another person’s blood.

This is what we endured in Gaza. This is what happened to us while the world watched in silence. I will never forget those days, and I will never forget that the world knew.

@ChavaProduction These trucks are from donor countries, not Israel. Israel controls the movement of crossings into Gaza and determines what is allowed to enter.
