WhatWeDo

Who We Are and What We Do

Background: Over the last ten years, more and more Africans, both men and
women, mainly from Eritrea and Sudan, have left their home countries primarily to
escape political, religious and/or humanitarian persecution. Suppression and
rapacity have often made it impossible to get gainful employment in the home
country, so in some cases, people leave in search of paid work. Often, these
migrant refugees seek to get to Israel for freedom, but after being passed from
one trafficking group to another, some eventually end up in the clutches of
certain shameless groups in the Sinai of Egypt, in one of several facilities not far
from the Egyptian-Israeli border.

There, these people extort funds by torturing the refugee into revealing names
and numbers of relatives and friends in other countries, who then send money to
supposedly have the refugee released. Some, who are no longer of value for
cash payment, are chosen for extraction of organs for sale to private hospitals
and transplant clinics in Cairo.

Many refugees who make it to the Israeli border are captured, and some are shot
by Egyptian security forces, and end up in prison, the hospital, or the morgue.
This includes those who leave the torture camps... either dead or alive.

Formation of NGF: A former business man who presently runs a language
institute in Al Arish, North Sinai, decided to devote his time and resources to
helping these refugees. He is Mr Hamdy Ahmed Al-Azazy. After studying issues
and needs of universal human rights under Dr Ellen Rosser of California, USA, Mr
Hamdy registered his new effort as a humanitarian organization -- as

    New Generation Foundation for Human Rights

With the help of two assistants, and through relationships with government
officials, Mr Hamdy, as Chairman of New Generation Foundation has been able to
apply assistance to refugees in the Sinai where others do not routinely go, at
prisons and hospitals.

Helping Refugees: With the help of donations added to his own personal
resources, Mr Hamdy has been able to provide different types of help for refugees
on a continuing basis, including:

Visiting Refugees in Prison and Providing Food and Other Items
