Help my family to evacuate from GAZA

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh

I am Walid Anan, currently residing in the UK, with roots in Palestine, specifically Gaza. The purpose of this fundraiser hits close to home as it involves my dear family members who currently reside in Gaza but have been forced to evacuate towards the South due to the ongoing war. Describing it as a residence is an understatement, as they have faced repeated displacements throughout this period of occupation.

I currently have seven immediate family members in Gaza - my uncle, his wife, and my cousins. I am initiating a fundraiser to save their lives, as I am their only hope to get them out of Gaza to Egypt and to a safe haven. Please help me save my family's lives.

Their family-owned business, the 'Anan Wedding Hall, has been brutally destroyed: leaving them without a source of income and jeopardising their basic livelihood. With a family of 7, the constant uncertainty of having their fundamental needs met has placed them in a perpetual state of vulnerability. Beyond financial hardships, the loss of family members adds an unimaginable layer of pain. Over 30+ family members have tragically been killed, leaving only a few struggling to escape the ongoing turmoil.

At the beginning of the war, my family evacuated from the central part of Gaza to the south, only to discover their house had been bombed and their neighborhood destroyed. They are currently homeless with no safe place to live. They live in constant fear, fleeing from place to place to find safety, struggling to access basic necessities and healthcare.

To facilitate my family's evacuation from Gaza to Cairo, Egypt, I'm launching a GoFundMe campaign to raise $100,000.

This includes:

$5,000 for basic needs in Egypt for a family of 7.

$100,000 for permits and crossing fees and Visa application for 7 family members,

$5,000 for travel from Gaza to Cairo for 7 family members.

$1,475.89 for GoFundMe transaction fees.

Your donation, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in ensuring the safety of my family. We commit to using the raised funds transparently and efficiently to guarantee every dollar contributes to their safety. Thank you for your support, and I am grateful for any help during this difficult time. Help me reach my goal by sharing this campaign with your friends, family, and colleagues.
