Adi is a twenty-one year old man living in the Gaza Strip. He lives in a tent made from sticks and plastic bags with his wife, Ayaa, who is twenty, his two year old daughter, his seven year sister, and his elderly mother. Their home was destroyed almost two years ago in the bombardment. Since then they have been travelling, sleeping rough and struggling to buy food, clothes, and clean water. In Gaza at the moment, the cost of a tent is around £1000, and the cost of a bag of flour is around £300, even when the flour is spoiled. In the short term, procuring a proper tent would mean everything, and a meal would be greatly appreciated. Adi is often eating the leaves from trees, and his family sometimes go over a week without managing to eat.
A message from Alaa
'A married girl is 20 years old, I have one child that I gave birth to on October 6 and she has never seen a beautiful day in her life My house was demolished by the damn occupation, I have nothing left except my child and my husband, and we now live in a tent made up of wood and plastic bags, and we have little money, and my husband has no work to earn money from We are looking for those who help us and help our child to have the simplest needs'
This fundraiser supports Adi with truly the most basic of needs, and his young family will not survive without our help. Adi has not seen any humanitarian aid since the genocide escalated, so this page has been the key to keeping his family alive. Thank you in advance for your generous support, I know that people have given significantly to support this young family, and for that I am so grateful. [Originally, fundraising for Adi’s family was happening on a separate GoFundMe, and a significant amount of money was raised there. However the host of that GoFundMe unexpectedly asked Adi to find a new way of receiving support, so all donations to Adi should now go via this page.]
