Gaza War

My name is Roba Nijim , I am a Palestinian born and raised in Gaza, currently living in Berlin. I am doing everything within my power to help my family get out of Gaza, in order to assure their safety and to make sure that they can have any kind of future at all. I would not ordinarily ask for assistance from others, but due to current circumstances and the life or death urgency of this situation, I recognize that my efforts alone are not enough. Community support is needed.

There is a chance right now to get the whole family – my mother, 2 brothers , their wives ,and their kids “ niece, and nephew “– out of Gaza and into Egypt by way of the Rafah Crossing. It is very uncertain how long we will have this opportunity for making it critical to raise the necessary funds as quickly as possible.The longer it takes the more in danger they are all in. No one knows how much longer the bombardment of Gaza will last and what the continued cost to human life will be. For my family’s future, your help is essential. I am deeply concerned about the entire family.

The funds you contribute will accomplish the following:

Covering the costly expenses for safe passage into Egypt, totaling €25,000 (€5,000 per adult person). I've successfully raised €10,000 through my own funds, credits, and other means. However, an additional €15,000 is still needed to meet the required cost.

I really need to see my family.I hope to join them in Egypt once they are able to travel there safely in order to be of support to them. I don't even know if such a reunion is possible, I am praying they will all still be alive.

Thank you for your openness to hearing about the situation of my family .

Palestinian voices are often silenced, making it challenging to raise awareness about our situation and seek support. Safe, supportive, judgment-free community is vital for us. Thank you for your support and understanding during these trying times. Your solidarity means the world to me.

Any and all contributions are deeply appreciated. Please share this campaign widely amongst your friends, communities, networks, and anyone that might be inspired to be of assistance. A family’s future truly depends on it.

With care and gratitude,

Roba Nijim
