From Gaza to Ireland: Survived but Nightmares Make me Wish to Die

Before I open my heart to you guys, please check out the vetting/verifications posts below.

1. @el-shab-hussein and @nabulsi # 151 on the spreadsheet of Vetted Gaza Fundraisers List

3. My latest blog titled "Traumatized in Ireland While my Family is Facing Death and Starvation in Gaza" shared widely HERE

The short video will give you a quick glimpse of my story: 1. A young university lecturer in Gaza

2. Then displaced with my family and losing our house

3. Then traveled to Ireland to study and try to support and evacuate my family.

Every night I sleep in Ireland while my family sleeps under bombardment face starvation, fear and the cold of winter in tents.

People sleep to rest. I sleep to see nightmares.

Every night feels like a horror movie I must live, not watch. I wake up tired, shaken, and broken by the images my mind creates.

I had an amazing stable life with my family in Gaza before the war turned our world upside down.

I was a young, ambitious lecturer at the Islamic University of Gaza, teaching English and linguistics. I loved to motivate and empower my students so they can reach their full potential.

When the war broke out, I was displacement with my family multiple times in places I did not know existed in the Gaza Strip. Sometimes we literally ran for our lives under heavy bombardment and learned what a near-death experience actually meant.

Five months into the war, my Irish university managed to get me out of Gaza. Ever since I evacuated and left my entire family in Gaza (parents, siblings, nephews, nieces), I woke up every day so tired from horrible horrible horrible nightmares, wishing to end my life.

But then I remember: If I give up, who will help my family survive? Who will help me get them out when the crossing opens again?

I saw the constant bombardment every day live in the news, and my family was dispersed in different places in the Gaza Strip, running for their lives, struggling to survive.

The misery and suffering continue until today after we lost our house and the cold of winter if freezing them all, especially my elderly parents and young nephews and nieces.

HOWEVER...

Hard times do not only create strong people; they also reveal the goodness and humanity in others. And Gaza needs the world’s goodness now more than ever.

My family lost their home. They now live in tents, shivering in the cold. Rainwater enters every time it rains. They have no electricity, no clean water, no cooking gas, and no safety. Survival itself has become a battle.

I have been dedicating all my efforts to helping my family survive in the current situation in Gaza and apply for reunification visas with the support of my college and friends here in Ireland.

Every single member of my family counts the seconds until the day we all reunify in Ireland and live a safe, normal life like we have been dreaming for more than two years

This can only be possible with your kindness, support and humanity.

Please consider donating if you can, share our story, reblog our post, and amplify our voice. You have no idea how much you can help in getting my family out of the living hell of Gaza to safety.

When the world becomes numb to Palestinian suffering, please choose not to turn away.

Please 'follow' me to stay updated!

Thank you for reading. Thank you for caring.

Mahmoud

We have spoken about baby Ayla here many times. Unfortunately, she continues to suffer. Somehow Ayla incurred a small injury to her finger and it has become severely infected due to the sanitation crisis. I will not attach any photos of the infection, but suffice it to say that it is absolutely horrific.

Her immune system is still compromised due to malnutrition, and her little body cannot fight off the infection on its own. She requires ongoing treatment to keep the infection at bay. She also needs a stable diet to support her immune system, but food is still extremely expensive in Gaza. Anything you can spare will go toward treating and feeding little Ayla.

Cold is not fate… Death is not natural when warmth is denied, safety is confined, and families are left under tents that offer no protection from the frost or fear. Here, we face not only the weather, but also deprivation, helplessness, and waiting for aid that may be delayed longer than we can bear.

We are one family among thousands living this harsh reality. My family and I are trying to endure, to survive, to protect ourselves from the cold and hunger, but we cannot do it alone.

We need your help to repair our tent, buy healthy food and medicine, or even just a blanket to keep us warm. Please donate and don't leave us to suffer. Please donate to us.

Please help my friend Ahmed to raise the funds he needs to survive. His family is living out of a tent in Gaza. They have fallen ill and are struggling to recover in the cold winter weather. The storms have flooded their belongings multiple times.

He needs to raise funds for medicine, food, warm clothes and blankets, and a more sturdy tent for shelter.

If you have anything to spare, please donate.

Please do what you can for Ahmed and his family!

please donate

Ahmed and his family also suffer from the cold, please share and donate

As you gather in your warm home, remember those whose homes were bombed and destroyed, and who now sit in tattered tents, shivering from the cold.

This is the situation for me and my family after our home was bombed and destroyed while we were inside. Now we are homeless, without warmth, without walls to protect us from the wind and rain. We shivers uncontrollably, and no one hears his voices.

I was injured when our house was bombed while we were inside. Iron shrapnel is still embedded in my body, and I urgently need surgery outside of Gaza, which I cannot afford. My health is deteriorating. Please, we need help to buy my medication as soon as possible and undergo my surgery. Please donate.

I suffer from severe anemia, constant nausea, and frequent fainting spells. All I have is pain and exhaustion. We are now living in a tattered tent that offers no protection from the rain and the bitterly cold winds. We have no safety, no stability, and no treatment. Every day that passes is a new battle with pain and the fear that treatment will be delayed even longer.

Fadel has to fundraise separately from his entire family to obtain medical care; help if you can, share if you cannot!

Please help my friend Fadel to raise enough funds for his medication!! This is really vital.

Fadel has a blood disorder and has been unable to afford his medication because donations have been used up trying to repair his family's tent and keep everyone fed. He's been passing out with increasing frequency, and when he was last in the hospital, the testing revealed he has an extremely low red blood cell count.

Please save his life and help him to buy his medication as soon as possible.

Last year, an IOF attack killed Mohammed’s older brother, and all but destroyed Mohammed’s leg. Since then, Mohammed has been unable to attend his physical therapy due to lack of funds. The condition of his leg has deteriorated as a result.

He is raising funds for his ongoing care in Gaza and for food for his family. He has no income, nor does anyone in his family, which includes multiple disabled members who require expensive long term care. He is weak from starvation and only has one functional leg.

You are his only hope! Please help Mohammed pay for treatment for his leg and food for his family!

ummmm so. normally i'm not the type of person to dump like, ALL of my problems and trauma and issues into the public eye unprompted but things have kind of reached a limit, and i'm at the point where i think i kind of desperately need to start saving up some proper funds to get the fuck out of this situation. i'll try to keep it brief:

i'm pretty severely chronically ill (narcolepsy, POTS, suspected lupus though if its not that then it def is SOME sort of severe autoimmune condition, fibromyalgia, EDS, etc) and am not currently employed, though i am working on that for what it's worth. but i am currently stuck in a severely dangerous home situation where my family has become extremely abusive (physically, mentally, emotionally, etc) and no amount of family therapy or effort on my part has worked to reduce this, which is making me sicker and is likely going to kill me sooner rather than later if the lupus thing is confirmed. in addition to that my extended family is lashing out in the same ways as well and has largely abandoned me despite offering aid previously.

and to top it off on all of that, my mother's "husband" (who is my age. and who she's known for all of a year, and has dated for even less time than that before getting married in secrecy behind all of ours backs to get him a green card while lying about his age and legal status. who is ALSO abusing me, of course.) has been arrested as of this morning, and is now on ICE hold and is likely going to be deported. he had our only car with him which has now been confiscated, and was the only person in our home who is (was...) currently employed which means we no longer have any income.

i have already been missing meals due to a lack of funds/nausea and struggling with the chronic pain that the stress of all of this has brought on, but it's ummmm. really bad now. i'm going to be looking into group home living on monday, and i will begin job training sometime in early january. but regardless of how things play out from there, i really do think it's imperative that i make some sort of effort to get even an ounce of stability and support going forwards.

so, um. please do not give anything if you can't afford to, i understand that times are tough for everyone right now and we're all struggling. and please don't feel bad if you aren't able to help either. but if you can do anything, even just reblogging this, i would very much appreciate it.

okay so ummm. updates so far

  • we did get the car back. this is objectively good
  • he is being deported as of monday and we will no longer have any source of income, and again, i don't begin job training until january.
  • my mother is too busy having a meltdown to actually do anything helpful for anyone in the house, let alone herself, and is continuing to take it out on me
  • the stress from all of this Is making my health significantly worse

so uhhhhhhhh yeah. that's all i've got so far, thank you again to anyone who's reblogged/donated/etc. i appreciate it more than i can put into words but it's going to still be rough for a while here i think

Those of you following for a while will know I'm very passionate about transfeminism and prison abolition. I want to bring up an issue that is at the intersection of these: the horrific treatment of trans women in New Jersey, United States prisons.

Here are some headlines from the past few years:

In each of these articles, a trans woman named Gia Abigaill Valentina has been desperately trying to get people to help her.

Her words in the 2023 article: “There is no programming for the transgender women here. The only counseling provided is routine mental health services, in which someone from mental health comes around every two weeks. In this lock down unit I am made to stay in my cell for 23 hours a day. I am allowed out for kiosk and shower.”

Her words in the July 2024 article: “When you asked me what my typical day looked like, they [really] don’t differ from day to day when it comes to dealing with my mental anguish of not getting my vaginoplasty surgery (having this ‘thing’ still on my body) and being in this men’s prison. The moment I wake up I am faced with having this penis! It’s a brutal reminder of how I am being held captive in this body that is not mine. Then I have to face all the discrimination, transphobia, misgendering, all the weirdos, perverts, creeps. This is the worst I have ever had it and the highest level of trans discrimination I have ever faced... I am supposed to be next for surgery. I wish I was confident in the broken system, but I am not. We shall see how things unfold.”

Her words in the December 2024 article: "Emotionally, they have broken my spirit to feel because of no treatment at all and they keep me locked in a cell 23 and a half hours a day. My fear of being raped or sexually assaulted overrides any type of emotion I could possible have. Each day all I can do is survive the day locked in my room. I can honestly express with truth and sincerity that I have never in my life encountered or felt such discrimination, hatred, and transphobic opposition as I have experienced since coming out here in the NJDOC”

The TransFeminist Revolutionary Liberation Front (TFRLF) was started by Gia Abigaill Valentina, to free transfem prisoners.

This group of incarcerated transfems and those on the outside in solidarity have put together a toolkit to free Gia!

You can access it on cryptpad using the link: bit.ly/Clemency4Gia

This toolkit includes zines to print and social media graphics to share. They also include a list of specific contacts (phone numbers and email) and a script you can use for what to say.

Here is the central information I want to make sure you read so you understand the call to action:

NJ Governor Phil Murphy's term ends at the end of the year. He has granted clemency for 200 people during his term. He has the ability to grant clemency for Gia Valentina before the end of his term.

We can demand that Gia is freed immediately. But we have to do it fast. There are only 9 days left until 2026. Time is of the essence.

If you live in the United States, and especially if you live in New Jersey, I strongly urge you to prioritize writing some emails and making some phone calls.

Get a group of friends together for it. Or schedule an hour of your day for it. Just find a way to get over the hurdle of starting. It's important.

Thank you <3

It is with a broken heart that we have to share the worst news imaginable with the NGU community. This weekend, the IOF bombed the neighborhood of Yahya Al-Habil and his family. Little Omar, Yahya’s 7-year-old brother who we have mentioned often, was martyred.

Both of Yahya’s brothers Khalil and Mohammed were being treated in different departments for the severe injuries they sustained from this attack, and did not get the chance to say goodbye to Omar. Their wounds were devastating, and both remain in very poor condition.

They now require ongoing, very expensive medical care, the sum of which for both their treatments is $10,000 usd. Donations have become stagnant and their situation is extremely desperate. Please help them survive and try to rebuild their lives.

Current: $6,159 of $15,480 usd—updated 20 Dec.

Need to raise: $9,321 usd

Previous updates are available here; vetting information in the last reblog; Khalil encourages anyone with questions to contact him on WhatsApp at +972 56-795-7368 for more information

So hard to not just get stunlocked reading shit liberal textbooks like what do you mean youre downplaying the torture at ABU GHRAIB

"Revealing photos"??? "Humiliating, if not torturing"???? JUST SAY TORTURING. IT WAS TORTURE FUCK OFF?? Why be ambiguous at all except to downplay abu ghraib. ABU GHRAIB.

I went to friendship island and komaeda was there

Last night, we barely survived…

Gaza was burning under relentless bombardment with every kind of weapon. Entire neighborhoods were destroyed within hours.

We were forced to flee our place of residence in the north, and we spent the night on the street until — with great difficulty — we found a car to take us to the south at a heavy price. We carried with us fear, exhaustion, hunger, and suffering, yet still no real safety.

📌 Today, for the first time, a UN investigative committee has officially confirmed that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. This is not just a report — it is a testimony to the death, displacement, and destruction we endure every single day.

We are living this genocide moment by moment… our lives are hanging by a thread.

👉 Share, comment, and reblog so our voices are not silenced.

(#167 on the verified fundraiser list by el-shab-hussein and nabulsi).

I'm watching my friend slowly die and I don't know what to do. Starvation, tumors, and depression are eating away at him while he has nothing to eat.

I don't know what to say to make people donate. I'm begging you to donate anything you can to Anas. Any treat you can go without or any extra cash to spare. Ask people to donate. If that's embarrassing to you please know it's infinitely more embarrassing to him. Please.

HEAR ME OUT PLEASE

The monetary value of every $1,000 is only $500, and the purchasing power of every $500 is only $50. That means neither work nor money has any real meaning. Everyone is destitute, consumed by war and its oppressive reality. Living day by day, hour by hour, while thinking about these details is hell. It will drive you mad.

That’s why EVERY DONATION HELPS

Consider every dollar will help because almost there’s no donation 🥺💔

Today is 10th of August and my brother told me he only got 385$ ..

I know i have been asking you a lot but i swear we still need your help 😞💔

The IDF for the past week didn’t stop destroying gaza city because they start to occupy the city while the world watching !

Please read this post and share to know why I keep telling you my brother needs your help and support 🙏😞
