So as you know I am Palestinian ,I am from Nablus and I live there ,I have a friend from Gaza who I have known for a year before the war had started .

he was born and raised in Gaza and even lived in Gaza during the war for about 7 months before managing to go to Egypt ,I’ve asked my Friend if he’s okay with this and he has said yes and the mods have approved of my request as well

So come on ,you’re not gonna get this chance again

ask him anything

Does he still have family in Gaza? Are there any plans to get them out?

What is his daily routine like? Is he able to find employment in Egypt?

What is the mood like in Egypt? Are Egyptians supportive of Palestinians, wary of Palestinians, etc?

صحيح اغلب عائلتي في شمال غزة و يوم الجمعة أمس يعني هددوهم لكي يخرجونهم من شمال, وغير أنهم اغلب ابنائهم استشهدوا

Most of his family is still in the North and thete are plans to move them from the north to the south

His parents are with him ,the rest of his family is still in gaza, aunts ,grandma and uncles

As for routine ,he sits in his house ,there's no work in Egypt and its really hard to find any and even if you find a job it will be for less than 70 dollars a month

There were organisations for helping palestinians when they first came to Egypt but now there's no help or aid at all

The Egyptian people are good but their government is hostile to us , its better for me not to go to the mosque because I could be seen as a "Muslim brotherhood" supporter

And thats why I am trying to travel to any country

Yeah, I have a Gazan friend and he disappeared for 2 months before telling us he was in an Egyptian prison during that time, he was suspected of being brotherhood (he was)
