Amid the horror of the Gaza Strip, 33-year-old Suhaib Ben Khaled cries for help from a plastic tent that barely protects his family from the scorching heat and suffocating dust. Along with his parents, Khaled and Ataf, and his siblings, Amir, Reham, and Nour, Suhaib lost his home and his job in the current GENOCIDE committed by Israel against Palestinians in Gaza. Displaced again and again, they face hunger, constant bombing, and the uncertainty of whether anywhere is safe. Suhaib is pleading for donations to cover basic needs such as food and decent shelter through the crowdfunding campaign at https://gofund.me/5bf0663d.
Frank Lomas, a friend of Suhaib’s from Manchester, UK, has started this crowdfunding appeal to channel direct aid to the Abu Ayta family. Without intermediaries, each donation will arrive entirely through a bank transfer, ensuring that the funds are used for food, medicine, and adequate shelter. Suhaib’s desperate situation motivated him to act, aware that every day without support means more suffering for this family trapped in a cycle of displacement and misery.
The reality in Gaza is an “abyss of human suffering,” according to Human Rights Watch, with more than 1.9 million Palestinians, 90% of the population, forcibly displaced. Israeli bombing has destroyed homes, schools, and hospitals, leaving rubble where life once existed. The UN reports that 64% of Gaza is under displacement orders or in buffer zones, with civilians fleeing under fire, some shot in the back while seeking shelter. More than 43,500 Palestinians have died, and an estimated 10,000 bodies remain under the rubble, according to the UN Human Rights Office.
Hunger plagues Gaza like a weapon of war. The World Health Organization (WHO) warns that 2.1 million people face starvation, with nearly half a million facing catastrophic levels of hunger. Since March 2025, the humanitarian aid blockade has closed bakeries and depleted medical supplies, leaving children like Suhaib’s siblings with bodies weakened by malnutrition. The WHO reports 57 child deaths from malnutrition, a likely underestimate, while mothers are unable to produce enough milk for their babies.
Hospitals, overwhelmed by bombing victims, lack medicine and equipment. Amnesty International denounces that Israel imposes living conditions designed to destroy the Palestinian population, with attacks on UN health centers and medical convoys. A recent attack in Jabaliya killed 22 people, including nine children, at a UNRWA shelter, evidencing a “profane indifference” to international law, according to the agency’s commissioner. Humanitarian workers, targeted, are dying at an unprecedented rate, with 408 killed since October 2023.
Suhaib’s family not only faces hunger and lack of shelter, but the trauma of living under the constant roar of planes and explosions. “It’s a death trap,” describes Jonathan Whittall of the UN, where hope fades while civilians are dehumanized. Displaced families, like Ben Khaled’s family, sleep on the cold ground, fearing they won’t wake up next to their loved ones. Every donation to their campaign can make the difference between life and death.
Supporting Suhaib and his family is an act of resistance against oblivion. Donations to https://gofund.me/5bf0663d offer a spark of hope so they can eat, protect themselves from the weather, and dream of a less cruel future. As Gaza faces a genocide that has lasted more than 600 days, according to TRT Global, every gesture of solidarity counts. Help ensure that Suhaib, Khaled, Ataf, Amir, Reham, and Nour are not just names in a tragedy, but lives that can still be saved.
