Help Rama get her family out of Sudan!

Hello all,
My name is Areej Elhaj, a Sudanese who lives and works in the UK. I'm starting this GoFundMe on behalf of my friend Rama Taj, a Sudanese artist based in Cairo, Egypt. Rama's family (mother and two sisters) are trapped in Sudan and need urgent evacuation.
As you may be aware, the situation in Sudan at the moment is extremely dire, the government's armed forces (SAF) and the paramilitary (RSF) have been fighting almost all over the country since the 15th of April 2023. The conflict has resulted in many thousands of deaths, millions of IDPs, and an unknown number of sexual violence against women and girls. Access to humanitarian aid is almost non-existent.
Rama's family initially fled the capital Khartoum to their village in Gazira state where they stayed for over 8 months. However, their village was attacked in December. They found themselves between ground gun shooting by the RSF and aerial bombardment by SAF.
Her single mother, who is suffering from post-malaria malnutrition, and after three weeks under bombardment, managed to flee with her two daughters on the back of a truck to Gadarif state where they are staying in an IDP shelter. They also don't have valid passports which adds to the cost of their evacuation.
Rama's family needs to leave for Uganda by the end of January 2024, otherwise, they might risk losing Their lives because of the possible spread of the conflict to their current location, disease, or even hunger.
The fund will also contribute to
1000 for travel permits
3000 3 tickets to Kampala
500 one month rent
500 pocket money
