Help Nehads surviving family evacuate Gaza

Kia Ora friends and whanau,

We are deeply saddened by the story of Kiwi-Palestinian, Nehad Albattniji and ask for your support.

14 years ago, Nehad Al Battaniji made Aotearoa his home after leaving his homeland in Gaza, Palestine. Since moving, Nehad and his whanau have continuously experienced the devastating impact of the occupation and apartheid in Palestine.

To date, he has lost 77 members of his whanau in Gaza who have been killed due to airstrikes by the Israeli military.

In 2021, he sold his successful barbershop in Ponsonby to help rebuild his brothers home which was bombed in Gaza. Today, Nehad owns a Palestinian catering company instagram: @nehad_catering

Join us in supporting Nehad and his surviving whanau during this devastating time of grief. Our collective mission is to raise enough funds to cover the relocation of Nehad’s whanau who are in Palestine - Nehad, like many other Kiwi-Palestinians who have family members in Gaza are awaiting a decision on a special visa to bring their family to Aotearoa.
