S4 | E11 - FERGIE CHAMBERS FED 500 FAMILIES IN GAZA

In this episode of Real Talk, Daizy Gedeon speaks with Ammar Al-Kahwaji, the 19-year-old founder of the Sumud Project, joining us from Khan Younis in southern Gaza.Ammar has been displaced eight times since October 7. His home, school and community in Bani Suheila were destroyed, and he now lives with his family in Al-Mawasi.Yet amid unimaginable circumstances, he has continued working to help families across Gaza.Since launching the Sumud Project in May 2025, Ammar says he has completed 49 humanitarian initiatives, supporting families with food, water, clothing, tents and shelter materials, while also supporting schools, kindergartens and children through educational and community activities.In this conversation, Ammar shares his firsthand experience of working inside Gaza, his family's repeated displacement, and the impact of losing the support of James “Jim” Chambers, an American donor currently detained in Spain following a U.S. extradition request.Ammar explains how he first contacted Chambers, how a $10,000 donation helped provide 50 meals a day for 10 consecutive days during Ramadan, supporting 500 families, and what Chambers' support has meant to humanitarian initiatives in Gaza.He also speaks about his greatest hope—not for wealth, politics or power, but simply to live in peace, have a home, see his family safe, and live the life every person should be able to live.This is a conversation about Gaza beyond the headlines: displacement, survival, humanitarian work, loss, resilience and the determination to keep going.Listen to the full episode of Real Talk now.☕ SUPPORT REAL TALKIf you value independent journalism and want to help us continue bringing important conversations and stories from around the world, please consider supporting our work:Buy Me a Coffee:https://buymeacoffee.com/daizygedeonPayPal:https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=TEAEE8YVEU996Follow Real Talk with Daizy Gedeon and stay connected for more conversations on the stories shaping our world.#RealTalk #DaizyGedeon #Gaza #Palestine #AmmarAlKahwaji #SumudProject #JimChambers #HumanitarianAid #GazaWar #PalestineNews #MiddleEast #HumanRights
