Escape from Gaza: A journey of hope, compassion, and survival

Zachery Dereniowski published another touching video on TikTok. The internet creator became famous for his recordings of social experiments that tug at the heartstrings, and this case was no different.

While recording his latest material, Zachery met a man who managed to leave the Gaza Strip. It was his first day in Canada. Many comments appeared in the video.

In one of his latest recordings, Zachery Dereniowski asked a man in a store for two dollars to buy two packs of soap for children. The store customer immediately agreed to help the internet creator, who was filming everything with a hidden camera. The newly met man handed him five dollars and refused to take the change. Then he added another two dollars, so Zachery would have money for the bus.

When the recording's author asked for the helpful man’s name and origin, it turned out that he came from the Gaza Strip and had only been in Canada for one day. It took him 47 days to arrive.

- It was very hard. The army was coming to just hunt us. And they just shoot anybody who moves, even if he's a kid. Some of our girls and women were r*ped. Very hardly. And they left to d*e. Just like that - Ahmed confessed.

Zachery asked his interlocutor how he manages not to carry hatred within him.

- I don't hate. We love all the nations. Even the Israelits. We wish that peace became a part of all the world - the man explained.

As the recording's author learned, Ahmed and his countrymen do not have government support. He gave him the seven dollars he had received earlier and an envelope with a thousand dollars in cash.

- Maybe there is someone who is? Deserve it? More than us? - said Ahmed, visibly moved by the entire situation.

The man eventually accepted the money from Zachery, thanking him for the kindness shown. "Beautiful people from Palestine,"; "That pain in his eyes when he talks about the Gaza Strip,"; and "What a beautiful soul" - one can read in the comments under the recording.
