Help a man from Gaza get medical treatment for his father?

Ahmed Mazen Hammad ( @mazen-fmaily ) is from Gaza, and needs our urgent support. Donations are slow, and need to pick up momentum.

As stated in this post (by @ana-bananya), Ahmed's father has multiple illnesses, like hepatitis, heart and kidney disease.

He needs daily medice and life support - daily dialysis treatments and oxygen to keep him alive and as healthy as possible. This is difficult in Gaza, as hospitals are desperately low on supplies, and are crowded and repeatedly targeted.

Now, $400+ is needed for and urgent liver resection. Ahmed dosen't want to lose his father, and if we reach this goal, it can litterally save his life.

They also need food in water, but due to the Israeli occupation being cruel and inflicting genocide and humiliating conditions, that is a heavy task.

While going to one of the "aid" centres, where soldiers have confessed to firing at civillians, Ahmed's foot was severely injured, and he needs surgery to reconnect the tendons in his leg. His leg risks amputation.

Imagine being the sole one responsible for your father, relying on a slow fundraiser to pay for your father's much needed treatment, and becoming disabled because you tried to look for desperately needed food. All of this on top of the terrible conditions on Gaza and threat of airstrikes. We cannot even fathom these experiences.

Please, donate. Please either use chuffed $8,702 / $40,000 raised

or PayPal, but when using PayPal, please specify that the money is for Ahmed, since this PayPal is being used to deliver to multiple different families.

Your donation lights a dark path, and anything you can spare will help. If you have the funds, donate. If you don't, you most likely know someone who does. If everyone who sees this contributes, you will help save a life. Be part of his story.

From Amit Segal:

The lie is exposed: The security cameras from the Gazan aid distribution site at the time of the alleged fatal shooting. No shooting and no injuries.

On Friday, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz published an in-depth report substantiating the existence of orders instructing Israeli soldiers to fire into unarmed crowds of aid-seekers. Over the past month, Israeli forces have opened fire almost every day at aid seekers collecting food from the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), the US/Israeli-backed food distribution organization. More than 549 people have been killed and over 4,000 wounded so far, during nineteen separate incidents. From the start, it was clear that the level of daily mass killing was the result of a deliberate policy of shooting live small arms ammunition, tank rounds and mortars into crowds of aid-seekers, with the aim of turning the food distribution points into killing fields as part of the ongoing genocide. On Friday, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz published an in-depth report substantiating the existence of orders instructing Israeli soldiers to fire into the crowds. Internally, the massacres are officially justified as a form of crowd control, with soldiers moving groups of unarmed people from one place to another by shooting at them. One soldier interviewed by Haaretz said that the oversight of the food distribution by the Israeli forces was referred to as “Operation Salted Fish,” a reference to the Israeli version of the children’s game “Red light, green light.” By all appearances, this name is based on the Korean television series Squid Game. In the fictional series, contestants are forced to play the children’s game “red light, green light,” with those who move before the “green light” being shot with live bullets. Each day, often late at night or early in the morning, tens of thousands of people have lined up at the GHF distribution sites to receive food, which is only available for one hour, causing a chaotic rush of starving people. According to the report, there is no method of crowd control except for live bullets. Those who attempt to collect food, which is simply left on the ground, too early or too late are shot.
