Help Musab Escape Bombings and Famine

Donation protected
Please share with your friends & family and help raise money for my friend Musab who is trying to escape bombings and famine (name changed for privacy/security). Every dollar counts.

I am collaborating with a dedicated group of Palestinians in the United States to ensure Musab’s safe passage out of the Gaza Strip and to bring him to safety here in the United States. Click “read more” below for additional details.

About Musab:
Musab is a practicing lawyer who graduated with a Bachelor of Law, from the Islamic University of Gaza in October 2017. He began working as a lawyer-in-training at Salama Bseisu Legal Consultation Office in Gaza City. He received his license to practice law in 2021 from the Palestinian Bar Association and worked on Pro Bono cases until the current genocide started.

Now, Musab struggles daily just to survive amid relentless bombings and a devastating famine. Despite these unimaginable hardships, Musab holds on to dreams that give him something to look forward to, one of which includes swimming in a pool one day. He likes swimming, playing soccer, and horseback riding.

This is Musab now (as of May 22, 2024):

If he is lucky and able to find food during the Israel-created famine, it is barely enough to survive. He eats this one meal for the entire day and sometimes is forced to go days without food because he is unable to find any.


When he is able to find water, he heats it on a cutout tin using wood from damaged furniture.



All around his neighborhood are destoryed buildings. No where is safe.


About the Situation:
Since May 7, 2024, Israel has closed the Rafah crossing, the primary route for medical and civilian evacuations, as well as the entry point for humanitarian aid and essential services, isolating an already vulnerable population. Freedom of movement is entirely restricted, food is severely limited or absent, and ongoing physical and psychological warfare is experienced 24/7 by Palestinians, including Musab.

The anticipated costs are subject to change depending on what opportunities and resources are available and could increase. All funds will be directed to Musab to help him rebuild his life and find stability after enduring such devastating destruction. The costs below are estimates.

Anticipated Costs:
1. Exit Fees and Transportation from Gaza:
  • Rafah Crossing Fees: Approximately $5,000 USD (subject to change once crossing reopens).
  • Transportation to Cairo: $200-500 USD
  • Accommodation in Cairo Stay (temporary): $100-150 USD/night

2. Travel to the United States:
  • Flight from Cairo to the U.S.: $800-1,500 USD
  • Visa Fees: $160 USD for non-immigrant visa (other visa types may vary).
  • Medical Examination & Vaccinations: $200-400 USD
  • Welcome Corps: $4,425 USD

3. Initial Resettlement Costs in the United States:
  • Temporary Accommodations: $100-150 USD/night
  • Basic Living Expenses (food, transportation, etc.).: $500-1000 USD/month
  • Legal Fees for Immigration Assistance: $1,000-5,000

Help us give Musab a chance to survive another day.
