I'm urgently raising money to evacuate my parents, siblings, and their 4 children (all under 12) from the middle of the war in Gaza to Egypt
International
In the harrowing reality of my family's plight in Gaza, fear and anxiety grip my heart. Forced to witness relentless bombings, my parents, sister, brother, his wife, and their four young children (all under 12) have endured displacement across Gaza. Born and raised in Gaza City, they initially sought refuge in the Middle Area, only to face Israeli forces' attacks, compelling them further south to Rafah— initially deemed safe, now under a ground invasion threat.
Our cherished home lies in ruins. The family business, of 45 years, is reduced to rubble. In the overcrowded camps of Rafah, they endure unimaginable horrors—no food, no clean water, and the constant fear of injury or death. With almost no medical treatment, we witness death and destruction daily.
The situation is dire; aid organizations are blocked from helping. My heart aches with helplessness, yearning for their safety amidst the chaos. Over 140 days, we've relied on personal resources and support from friends, hoping for a ceasefire to plan a future. Now, it's a matter of life and death.
My father (75), mother (62), aunt (71), sister Lina (28), brother (39), his wife (34), and their four beloved children (12, 10, 4, and 2) need urgent help. This is a campaign to secure funds for their evacuation from Rafah to Egypt, covering border fees, safe passage, and 6 months of basic necessities. It's a plea for help, a desperate attempt to give my family the right to live amidst the ongoing crisis.
My close family members.
