We a group of people from different countries united by a common goal: to alleviate the suffering of a people
Somos Gaza was born with the idea of helping Palestinian families with their basic needs by raising funds for their sustenance and maintaining contact as emotional support.
We also aim to rescue as many people as possible from the genocide by securing donations for their relocation.
Sponsoring a family means leading and managing the organization of activities, proposals, and financial resources to highlight the needs of a Palestinian family.»
Families you can sponsor
All testimonies have been checked and verified by our team. We ensure the truthfulness of each one of them. Donations go directly to their accounts.
What does it mean to sponsor?
Sponsoring a family is a commitment to that family; it means taking on the responsibility of ensuring they have food through the donations we make, whether from ourselves, our close ones, or by organizing activities to support them. It’s about giving them a voice by sharing their stories on our social media to highlight their needs. It involves organizing activities and creating proposals. If you feel capable of taking on this role, join in serving them. They largely depend on the donations we provide to survive, and their lives deserve respect.
MOSTAFA SHALOULA
In the heart of Gaza, where dust mingles with salt and silence with the roar of warplanes, we strive not just to live — but to survive. I am Mustafa, a young man in my early twenties, carrying on my shoulders the memory of a home reduced to rubble and a family that continues to stand firm amid destruction , And children who lost their childhood innocence.
What we endure is not merely a war. It is a daily crossing between the question of existence and the means of survival. We have lost our shelter, yes — but not our awareness. Water and electricity are gone, yet our dreams remain. We sleep on cold ground, but our spirits burn with the will to live.
We are not asking for pity. We are sharing a reality. We open a window for the world to witness the truth. If you believe in every human’s right to life, then your solidarity becomes a form of resistance — resistance to forgetting.

My name is Mohammed Jamal, I’m 31 years old. I’m from Gaza, Palestine. My father has a motor disability, and my mother suffers from chronic illnesses, most notably diabetes. I have four brothers and three sisters. We are ten people in all. Because of the war, our house was destroyed, and I lost my job. We are suffering from very harsh conditions and a severe shortage of all basic necessities.
GAMAL ELMASSRI
Presento a Vds mi historia durante el genocidio que dura 589 dias hasta el momento;
Soy Elmassri Gamal, del norte de la Zanja de Gaza, tengo mas de 60 anios con mi familia de 7 individuos: mi esposa, mis 4 hijas y mi hijo soltero, viviamos en nuestro casa de 4 pisos; un piso pa mi familia y tengo 2 hijos casados, un piso para cada y un piso pa mi hijo el soltero q estaba a punto de casarse en oct. De 23, pero no podido hacer su boda hasta ahora por el genocidio!!!.
Desde el primer momento del genocidio, solo teniamos 15 minutos pa salir de la casa la que fue destruida totalmente, se quedo en unos escumbros. Nuestros habitaciones, muebles, cocinas…papeles, certificados..de propiedad…no se quedo nada.
Obligatoriamente teniamos q escapar a un fefugio en el campo de Gabalia sud de mi pueblo, después 2 semanas hemos desplazados al campo de Nusaeirat sud de la coudad de Gaza, donde quedimos otros 2 semanas, en fin fuimos a la ciudad Rafah en el sud de la zanja frente las fronteras de Egipto, donde pasaron 5 meses , despues fuimos ordinados a ir al norte pa la ciudad de khanyounis dónde estamos ya 12 meses seguidos.
589 dias de sufrimiento terrible continuo de masacres, catastrofes, matanzas con todo el miedo dia y noche.
Gaza muere de guerra:
Era todo, y sigue siendo un genocidio llenos de sangre de inocente de ninios, mujeres, jovenes y adultos de todas las edades.
Vivir en tiendas dectelas o de plasicos no protegen de frio, calor, vientos. Humidad ni de ataques o ruidos…!!!.
Ahora nos sufrimos la guerra de varios aspectos pero tambien un hamburana continua desde 76 dias sin obtener ayuda humanitaria, este hambre es para acabar con nuestras vidas tan fragil.
Somo la gente inocente in Gaza.
Morimos de enfermidades:
Mi esposa y yo sufrimos cronic enfermidad de hypertension de sangre, con corazones muy debiles, no podemos aguantar ninguna guerra,
Que es la guerra en Gaza;
la guerra es miedo, temores, ruidos inaguantables, ver heridos, muertos, destrozados, ver ninios llorando, ver madres llorando, ver heridos quejando, ver familiares lloren por sus muertos, ver medicos sin medicinas pa curar los heridos…et.
Gaza muere de hambre:
Vivimos sin lo más básico de necesidades para sobrevivir: no hay harina, ni leche,ni carne, ni pescado, ni huevos, ni frutas, ni gas, con pocos medicamentos y poca agua potable ni electricidad, ni combustible para soportar esta realidad. Los precios han aumentado un 1400%, según el Programa Mundial de Alimentos.
Mi mini tienda de comestibles fue destruido, de donde lograba mis ingresos , 589 dias sin , pero hay ningun puesto de trabajo ahora pa poder tener algun ingresos.
Debido al dolor antes detallado esperamos su apoyo para alto alfuego y paz, y sus ayudas, donaciones, genorisidad para aliviar nuestros dolores y sobrevivir en Gaza bajo fuego.
Queremos paz, derechos humanos, seguridad y dignidad.
MOHAMMED AL-SAWALIHI
22 years old, studying computer engineering and working at the LC Waikiki Mall next to my university. I go out at the end of the day with my friends and visit my friends and public places with my friends on my day off. On the first day of October 7, the Israeli Defense Forces called my father and told him to evacuate the house immediately. We were living in the north of Al-Karamah and the house was evacuated. We did not take anything, whether clothes or anything like that. Everything in the house was under the rubble.
The house was bombed on the second day and we evacuated for the first time to my grandmother’s house. After that, all my relatives went to Hanni Al-Wadis, where we lived in the boxes in light of the famine in northern Gaza. The bombing continued and after our seventeenth displacement, the occupation army threw leaflets urging us to evacuate to the west of the Strip, so we evacuated, but the occupation army attacked the area and besieged us for two weeks. The occupation army surprised us and took us to a detention center opposite the house and beat and tortured us. My brother, my father, my little sisters, and my mother, after he had inflicted the most severe torture, he took my father to the occupation prisons inside the occupied West Bank and imprisoned him for a month. After imprisoning me, my brother, my mother, and my sisters, the occupation army released us to the south of the valley on foot, but we were very tired due to the lack of food or drink. However, we passed this stage and went to the south to Nusairat. Some people received us as displaced persons and provided us with the necessary requirements to be in good health until we recovered. Here our story continues between displacement and evacuation and living in tents in the extreme cold. They released my father, but he was suffering from a fracture in his spine and a fracture in his neck from the severity of the torture. But thanks be to God for everything, and now we live in a tent and hope to recover a few memories in my country and hope to return to my home and my university so that I can complete my education and continue my life and complete my usual daily life and live in peace and a dignified life without any occupation, injustice, hunger, displacement, or dispersion.
MOHAMED ELKOURD
I lost my father in this war, our house was bombed and my whole family was pulled out from under the rubble. We fled to southern Gaza hoping to be in a safe area, but now we miss everything that is normal in this life. I was studying nursing and I had a big dream to become a nurse and save all the children and adults, and now my only dream is how I will protect the rest of my family from this bombing and the brutality that the Israeli occupation is dealing with while we are civilians.
My dreams have been shattered and I don’t know how I will live and if my brothers and mother will stay with me and I will protect them. I wonder how I will go on, life is very difficult here, diseases are everywhere, we were tired all day because of bad food and water. All my memories, my beautiful and loving father, all my life, all my feelings, were imprisoned in that destroyed house, and with him my dreams were also shattered. i have a life ahead of me that i don’t know how i will deal with, but i want to go on, i want to live in peace and relieve this huge burden that i feel. I hope this campaign is successful, I really want to feel hope again.
HOSAM ALKHALDY
I lost almost my whole family in the bombing of our house, I myself was rescued from the rubble. Now I am living a very difficult life and trying to survive and carry on in spite of everything. I was studying software engineering. My family and I were displaced to the south of Gaza, to the zone called “safe”. Shortly after that the house where we lived was bombed. With my own eyes I saw my family dye one by one: my father, my mother, my brother, and could do nothing else than listening to their slow agony in front of me.
How could I go on without them. I was displaced again to the Khanyounis zone where I currently live, in the camps. Living here is very difficult. Numerous diseases spread all over and we feel a constant weariness due to spoiled food and water. All my memories and family, all my life and my feelings stayed buried in that destroyed home, and my dreams as well. I have a life in front of me and don´t know how I will be able to carry on. However I want to continue, I want to live in peace and relieve myself from the huge burden I carry. God willing this campaign works; I do desire to have hopes again.
ASMAA FAWZY
Peace for all. I´m from Gaza. I am a photographer. Life here has never been easy. At present practically nothing remains: cities have been bombed and destroyed. My house was also bombed with all family inside. Three of them died and seven were injured. At that moment I was on the roof of the building, the impact of the bomb made me fell from the fourth floor; I broke my leg and hip and have my back injured.
I broke my leg and hip and have my back injured. At present I follow treatments but they are very expensive and supplies are missing. I need help. May this not happen even to my worst enemy. I feel sadness, oppression and an indescribable pain. When will the war finish so we can rest in peace?
MALAK AND HER MOTHER
They are currently trapped alone in Gaza, without any help. Malak lost her father, who was burned alive before her eyes. She and her mother went through terrifying moments, and their home was bombed during the Nuseirat massacre. They had been living a beautiful life together; Malak was studying to become a nurse at the university. But now, it’s a true nightmare. They’re living in very poor conditions, with no support to earn money and meet their basic needs.
TAMER AL-RAQAB
I´m 21 years old and I live in Palestine. I used to live as any young man, free and safe until the war started. My house was destroyed and most of my family was murdered. I not only lost members of my family and friends, but also my university, my dreams, the well being of safety. Every day is a fight to stay alive.
I´m in charge of my four younger brothers, my mom and dad. There are no jobs to do, food is extremely expensive and we cannot get drinking water or medications. The borders are closed, we cannot escape from death. The winter has not yet arrived and we are freezing and hungry. I´m young, have projects and dreams that the invasion crashed. But I want to stay alive; I´m in charge of my family. I need help to feed them and pay for medical treatments of those injured during bombing, including myself.

ABDALKARIM GHATTAS
I grew up in Palestine, where education was always considered as the possibility of achieving a better life. With this belief in mind, I pursued my passion for computer science and engineering; in 2018 I graduated from university. After many years of hard work and dedication my dreams of following a postgraduate course in India came true. However, dreams may suddenly become nightmares. When my family house was destroyed, my priorities changed and I decided to go back to my country and postpone my career.
I faced the terrible reality of my country. I met my wife Lana, fortunately, who gave birth to our daughter Sefen. The future that we once envisaged seemed today impossible, completely swallowed by the atrocity of this genocide. However, there could be a chance of surviving; with your generous contribution we, my wife, my daughter and the rest of my family, would be able to cross the border and seek refuge in Rafah, Egypt.

MOHHAMED ABU SHARAR
I am from Gaza and I am 19 years old. My family has 7 members: my mom, my dad, 3 sisters, and my little brother (all of them are under 18 years old). Because of the war, my siblings’ school and my university (like all other institutions) were destroyed; so none of us could continue our studies. We had a supermarket, which was also bombed.
Currently, we all live in one room. The destruction, the killing, the bombings continue. Please help my family and me to leave Gaza. We want to continue our studies, we want to live in peace.
AHMED RAJAB
I am 20 years old and the fourth of 6 siblings. In total, we are a family of 13 people: my parents, my two sisters, their husbands, their children, and the rest of my siblings. We lived in Palestine, in the north of Gaza. At the beginning of the Zionist attack, my house was bombed and we had to flee, becoming a displaced family. My older brother, Mohammed, and the husband of one of my sisters could not escape and remain in the area besieged by the occupation, without access to food or water, for more than 10 days.
The rest of the family has been forced to move numerous times. We currently live in Deir Al Balah, where the largest number of refugees in all of Gaza are located. The humanitarian aid that once arrived is not enough, and we urgently need food, water, medicine, shelter, kitchen utensils, and personal hygiene items to survive the massacre. The tent we live in has holes through which rain and cold seep in; we need some material to cover them. I had a thousand dollars in a GoFundMe (a fundraising platform). Unfortunately, the person who started the campaign passed away and the platform was disabled. Currently, the way to send us money is through PayPal accounts provided by our friends, as the ones created to help us directly were blocked.
SHADI AL-ASHI
I am 27 years old and married to Maryam. We have two children: Tulin, who is 2 years old, and Walid, who is just a few months old, as he was born during the war. We lived in the north of Gaza, where we managed a dental clinic, which, along with our home (and the entire city), was destroyed in the bombings, along with our memories and dreams. Our life took a 180-degree turn.
We currently live in a small tent in the south of Gaza, without food and without clothes to protect us from the approaching winter.

KARAZ
This is Karaz , the only survivor among all her family members on July 3rd. After the house where Karaz and the rest of her family were located was targeted, she was found under the rubble lying on top of her martyred mother Lamis, who survived the war to heaven. As for her older brother, he was found lying outside the house due to the huge explosion. Karaz father is still missing under the rubble to this day and it is believed that he has also ascended.
Karaz is the only child in her family. She is 4 years old. She lives with a simple family in Gaza. They care for her and provide her with as much of her needs as possible because she has now become an orphan without a family. She now needs support and help. Her uncle, Shehab al-Din, is a journalist from Gaza who worked tirelessly during the war on Gaza and was able to leave with a patient companion who was taking care of her. The child Karaz appeals to the whole world and everyone who has a conscience to help her so that she can continue living. It is not known when her story will end while she lives in genocide in Gaza. I hope that everyone will provide her with help and care.

IBRAHIM AKLOUK
This is the deeply moving journey of my family’s escape from Gaza—a story that holds more than just our struggles; it holds our resilience, hope, and the incredible impact each helping hand can bring. It all began one morning, a day that seemed ordinary but was destined to change everything. The sun rose, casting its warmth on our war-torn streets, and I set out for the University with a sense of excitement. I was so close to graduation, to achieving dreams I had worked tirelessly for.
My sisters, Nour and Eman, were also on their way to school, their laughter echoing in our hearts and filling our lives with the smallest taste of normalcy. My father, a dedicated worker and property owner, headed out as he did every day, determined to keep our lives steady in the face of uncertainty. But all of that changed in a heartbeat. The sky thundered with explosions, and bombs began falling without mercy. Buildings were shattered, lives torn apart, and suddenly we found ourselves running, clutching only what we could carry, unsure of what would come next.
SAIF
I am 34 years old. I currently live in the camps in the south of Gaza with my wife, her family, 5 children, a newborn baby, and one of my sisters. Winter is approaching, and the tent we live in, and our clothes, are not prepared to shelter us from the cold. Food is scarce and very expensive. We need your help to survive.
