The story of Muhammad from Gaza
Help families impacted by the Gaza conflict's hunger crisis. Donate now to provide vital food assistance and foster hope amid adversity.
Mohammed, a man not yet forty, is a father of four young children, each of whom carries a glimmer of hope in their eyes despite the hardships of life. He worked tirelessly to provide for his family, never imagining that war would change the course of his life forever.
When the war on Gaza intensified, there was no safe place. Shells rained down mercilessly, and buildings collapsed on their inhabitants. Like many others, Mohammed did not hesitate to protect his family, but he was severely injured in one of the airstrikes. His leg was broken in a complex fracture, and since then, he has relied on crutches to move. He struggles through the narrow alleys, his eyes searching for a glimmer of hope to keep him going.
Despite the pain, he never stopped trying to provide a decent life for his children. However, his injury made things even harder—work was no longer the same, and his meager income was not enough to cover the family's needs. His wife, striving to be his pillar of support in this ordeal, does her best to take care of their children, but their situation keeps worsening.
Mohammed does not ask for the impossible. All he wants is a chance to support his children, to stand on his own two feet again, to hold his children's hands without feeling helpless. He calls upon kindhearted people—anyone who can lend a helping hand—whether through medical treatment to aid his recovery or support to help him get through this hardship.
The pain is great, but faith in God and the kindness of people is greater. Will Mohammed find someone to extend a helping hand in his time of need?
Mohammed was a simple man who worked tirelessly to provide for his family. A father of four young children, he carried their worries in his heart and went out every day searching for a livelihood despite the hardships and cruelty of life.
One day, as usual, Mohammed rushed out, racing against time to earn his daily bread. He had no idea that this day would change his life forever. Suddenly, a deafening explosion shook the ground—a missile fired by a warplane during the war on Gaza struck the area where he stood. In an instant, Mohammed was thrown to the ground, surrounded by destruction and blood, as cries of pain mixed with the echoes of bombing.
He was rushed to the hospital in critical condition, only to learn that his leg had been severely fractured, leaving him unable to walk without crutches. But the physical pain was not his greatest burden—it was the fear of what would become of his children, now left without a provider, waiting for him to return and hold them as he always had.
Today, Mohammed stands between pain and hope, waiting for a helping hand, for someone to support him in rebuilding his life so he can once again provide for his children. Will he find someone to ease his suffering in a time when life has become harsher and struggles have only grown?
He was rushed to the hospital amid cries of pain and fear. There, he learned that his injury was severe — his leg had suffered a complex fracture, leaving him unable to walk without crutches. He became unable to work or provide for his children, whose only fault was being born in a land torn apart by war.
He arrived at the Red Cross hospital.
