Before the outbreak of conflict in Gaza, Ali Ali Al-Hallaq diligently studied law in order to work as a criminal officer.
He has a passion for serving and protecting his community, a passion that is even more evident as he strives to grow his campaign so that he and the rest of his family can soon live their lives in asylum.

Story written by @fabricated-pessimist
Ali is currently responsible for his family of 9, including elders and many young children. His family’s business has been destroyed, he has lost countless friends, and even a lover. He tells us that he can still see the girl whom he wanted to marry wherever he looks, and losing her near the beginning of the war was, for him what began the truly horrific aspects of this relentless genocide. When he lived in a camp affiliated with the United Nations, it didn’t exempt him from constant beatings and families being held at gunpoint. Currently, he lives in a makeshift tent and suffers from insects, a shortage of drinking water, overpopulation, and the cold of winter alongside his sick family members. But now, all he wishes is for he and his family to flee Gaza to safety. He has been diagnosed with insomnia for getting practically no sleep as he works to build his campaign and stays at hospitals all day keeping in touch with activists online and helping his fellow Gazans through this unprecedented crisis.
