Description
I’m sorry if this post feels out of place — but I’m writing this with a heart that’s completely worn out from fear, pain, and helplessness.
My name is Amal , I recently moved to Newcastle and just graduated from dental school. I’m trying to start a new life here, applying for jobs — but everything takes time.
And time… is a luxury my family in Gaza doesn’t have.
I've created so many donation links, most of them got shut down. Only one worked — and even that might not last long. I’m not giving up, but I am truly exhausted.
My family is starving.
Not "hungry" — starving.
The last time I spoke to my little sister Sham, she said:
"I just want it to be over."
I asked her why.
I thought she would say because she’s scared or misses me.
But she said:
"Because I’m hungry. I want to eat real food again… chicken, vegetables… anything."
Her voice still rings in my ears.
I look at their faces in photos and barely recognize them.
They’ve lost 20–30 kg. Their cheeks are sunken,Hunger is eating away at them — literally.
Meanwhile, I’m here in a warm home, with food and comfort.
And my brain can’t process the contrast.
I also want to share something that broke me even more.
7 months ago, I lost my brother Mohammad.
He was a journalist.
He was killed by occupation while doing his job — inside a press vehicle clearly marked as “PRESS , they bombed it and He died with five of his colleagues.
He was my family’s strength — especially for Sham, since we lost him, she’s been completely broken.
Now my family is without a home, without work, and almost without hope.
This fundraiser is my last resort. I don’t have time to wait for job applications to process. I need to help now.
I even tried sharing my story on several platforms…
But sadly, my account was restricted. It’s as if stories from Gaza are too uncomfortable to be seen…
As if the world prefers silence over truth.
But I won't stay silent — not when my family is fading in front of my eyes.
Please forgive me if this isn’t the right space. But I ask from the heart as a human being:
May none of you ever experience losing your loved ones, your homes, or your jobs.
Because I lost all three — and I can tell you, it’s unbearable.
