A fundraising to help support my family in Gaza who were targeted, lost loved ones and all their homes, and need urgent support to evacuate
International
Due to the deadly war on Gaza, I lost my sister 39 yrs, and her four children; Raghad 15 yrs, Malak 13 yrs, Essam 10 yrs and Maryam 7 yrs. I was called at 4am by my family in Gaza to inform me that my sister’s house was air-struck killing my sister, her four children, my aunty, and four extended family members. My two nephews 19, & 10 yrs and niece 20 yrs were injured and received urgent medical procedures, one experienced a head injury and internal brain bleeding.
Unfortunately, a couple of weeks ago I also lost one of my nephews who was 28 yrs mechanical engineer, dreamt of immigrating for a better life due to Gaza’s blockade and difficult life. He was killed before pursuing his dream. We also lost 17 other extended family members in this deadly war. Unfortunately, the situation is deteriorating for my family, while I am fearing losing any other family members.
My family lost all they own. Their houses and properties are now nothing but rubbles. My mother’s building, brothers’, sister’s and uncles’ houses were all targeted and completely destroyed. My brothers have also lost their savings, jobs and source of income as their workplaces have also been targeted in Gaza.
My family forcibly evacuated from one place to the other at least 5 times to different houses, including a hospital, trying to find refuge and a safe place to stay. Life is unliveable in Gaza due to the ongoing bombardment, death of hunger, dehydration, illnesses, poor health system and lack of medication.
They are my immediate family members who reside in Gaza.
I will be passing funds to my brother Ahmed
The money will help evacuate my family outside of Gaza to the Egyptian border so my elderly mother and injured family members can receive the health treatments they need. It costs 8K USD per person for a permit to evacuate from Gaza to the Egyptian border
Our life in the North is deadly 24 April 2024
I am Asmaa, Hiba is my aunty and her nephew she was telling you guys she lost is my brother. Her sister she was telling you about, Huda, is my best friend aunty. My brother, Hossam, is a sweetheart, I remember he promised he'd take me with him when he goes abroad for a better future and living as an engineer but that dream is shattered because he was snatched from us. My aunty, huda, was the closest to me and the closest to all of this. I wish you could meet her, she used to thank all your efforts and support and beg you for more 💔
The video I have here is my home, this may break heartening to see but to me this is deadly. Every corner in this house, I have memories and dreams. All of it is gone, and it took our lifetime to save up for and invest in. Imagine all of that is shattered. The house you are in reading this is snatched away from you like everything else in your life 💔
