Help me evacuate my family from genocide in Gaza

Beloved friends, family, and kind-hearted supporters, I am reaching out to you with great urgency and desperation. My name is Bahaa Al-Najjar. I'm from Gaza city, Palestine and I'm a 6-year ago in Belgium.

 I'm finding myself thousands of miles away, feeling helpless as my family endures the hardships of the ongoing war in Gaza. The situation has grown increasingly urgent, and I'm reaching out for your help to raise funds for the emergency evacuation of my family,

 consisting of six members: my sister 16-year-old, khefah, and, my brother Nidal 20-year-old, my sister Ehsan 25-year-old, and my sister Alaa (she died) 33-year-old, brother Mohammed 38-year, from Gaza. Terrified for their safety, my family, originally from Al Shati refugee camp in northern Gaza, have been displaced three times and are currently residing at a small apartment in Rafah with 25 other relatives.

 Our whole neighborhood in the North has been destroyed Due to the already terrible situation in Gaza before the war, my father was unemployed. My mother suffers from chronic diseases and is paralyzed and unable to move, My brother, Mohammed, is a engineer and he's also unemployed.

 My sister,(Alaa) ,she died , The bad and sad news is that (Alaa) and her husband Muhammad were actually killed at the beginning of the war when Israeli planes were randomly bombing homes, They left behind 4 children who became orphans without a father or mother, namely Musab 13 years old, and Maryam 11 Y,O, and Mira 7 Y,O, Awad 4 Y,O. On top of the terrifying war, my family have been repeatedly getting sick for the past two months with no access to medical treatment.

The lack of food, water, and basic supplies only worsens their conditions. With Israel announcing a ground entry into Rafah, my family lacks a safe refuge and must evacuate the Gaza strip.

This situation underscores the urgent need for our intervention.

 After describing Gaza as "unlivable."the Canadian immigration minister, Marc Miller, announced special program for Canadian citizens or permanent residents to be able to be reunited with their families from Gaza.

 Luckily, I have a Canadian aunt, Samira, who is ready to file the paperwork.

However, this program unfortunately does not provide any financial support for the newcomers, meaning that my family will have to pay for all of their travel and settlement expenses on their own. With your support and generosity, we aim to raise a target amount of €50000, or €55100 The funds will be allocated for the following purposes: - Permits and crossing fees reauired to leave Gaza at the Egypt-Gaza border in Rafah ($5100 per person).

 I've been in contact with people in Egypt who trying to help, so this is especially urgent. Your generous donation is needed to complete the process. - Accommodation in Cairo while awaiting immigration paperwork. - Flight tickets for 6 individuals from Cairo to Canada. - Resettlement expenses in Canada until they secure employment (including rent, winter attire, health coverage, and living expenses) - Covering GoFundMe transaction fees, which amount to (2.9% + $0.30 per donation).

 Your support, whether big or small, will make a significant difference in ensuring the safety of our loved ones. We are grateful for your compassion and generosity during this challenging time. Please share this with friends and colleagues and let's bring my family to safety.


 My family is just one among thousands facing similar crises and in need of assistance. Any surplus funds beyond my family needs will be directed towards aiding others in escaping Gaza to safety.


With Gratitude,
Bahaa Al-najjar
