Suad Ahmad - Blog Posts
My name is Suad Ahmad, and I am an engineer from Gaza. I graduated from university at the top of my class and quickly advanced in my career as an instructor, consultant, and team leader. My husband and I were overjoyed to learn that I was pregnant, but our happiness was short-lived. Just a week later, the occupation began its illegal scorched earth campaign against the people of Gaza. Our home and my workplace were destroyed, and my husband's family and I were displaced from the north.
On the day I went into labor, I had to walk a great distance to the hospital. When I arrived, I found that the hospital was operating at minimal capacity, and there wasn't even a bed for me. My baby was born with minimal medical support, and the experience was extremely difficult. Then, the occupation began bombing the vicinity of the hospital, putting us in immense danger with nowhere to turn.
Unfortunately, the situation has only gotten worse. My baby and I are now living in a tent in extreme heat. The attacks continue, putting our lives in immediate danger. The blockade on Rafah Crossing and the destruction of roads and infrastructure have led to extreme food scarcity. I cannot find enough food to feed myself or my baby. I have not been able to recover from the difficult birth, and my baby is missing out on crucial nutrition needed for neonatal development.
Once the Rafah crossing reopens, my baby and I need to evacuate to Egypt for our health and safety. You can help make this possible by directly supporting us at the link below. Please, help give my baby and me a better chance at life. If you cannot give, please reblog this post and share the link (https://gofund.me/ebaee2af) across all of your social media accounts.
