Hello everyone,

I'm writing to thank you once again for your incredible support over the past few months. We are truly beyond grateful for your generosity, which has allowed Youssef and his family to survive in Gaza. Without your help, none of this would have been possible.

As you may know, the situation in Gaza has become unimaginably devastating — words are no longer enough to describe it. Prices are at an all-time high, and the little food available is extremely expensive.

Taking into account the needs of a family of eight, including two children aged 12 and 15, and the fact that Youssef and his siblings are trying to continue their studies despite the circumstances, we have made the decision to increase the fundraiser's target to 25,000 EUR.

This will help Youssef and his family afford basic necessities such as food, water and medicine for his father.

We continue to hope that this will end soon, and that Youssef and his family will one day be able to live the normal life they deserve. In the meantime, we will continue to do everything possible to ensure they can survive.

Thank you,

Laura

My name is Laura, I'm based in Paris, and I'm fundraising for my good friend Youssef Al-Jabary and his family, who are currently trapped in the Gaza Strip. I’ve set up the fundraiser for them as they’re unable to do it themselves because of their location in Gaza.

They are living in a tent in the south of Gaza under extremely difficult conditions, unable to afford any basic necessities. Now with winter approaching, they are also facing cold weather, rain, and flooding in their tent.

They're a family of 8 people, and while their ultimate goal is to leave Gaza, this is currently impossible due to border closures and the high costs involved. Therefore, we are raising funds to help them buy basic necessities such as food, hygiene items, and essential supplies to survive through the winter months.

Prices in Gaza are rising daily due to ongoing displacements and border closures. Affording food and basic necessities is extremely difficult at the moment.

The donation funds will be sent directly to Youssef via PayPal, as this is one of the few ways to transfer funds to Gaza at the moment. If you're able to donate, even a small amount will make a difference and will impact his and his family’s situation.

We’re deeply grateful for your support.

This is the current situation in Gaza, with people having nowhere to go:

We will update you regularly on how the funds are used and what Youssef is able to buy.
