Evacuate cancer patient Ghydaa Nabhan from Gaza

Hello World!

This GoFundMe is to help a friend, 30 year-old Palestinian cancer patient Ghydaa Nabhan, to evacuate Gaza and the dreadful war with her 30 year-old husband Oday Moghari. They are currently in Deir al Balah area trying to find their way to Rafah to evacuate.

Ghydaa is a Hodgkins Lymphoma II cancer patient. She was following a chemotherapy treatment at the Turkish partnership hospital for cancer patients in Gaza. She went through 12 cycles of ABVD, followed by 26 radiotherapy sessions at the Victoria hospital in Jerusalem.

However, due to the constant bombardment by the Israeli Occupation Forces, Ghydaa has been unable to access any medical treatments since October 2023. Ghydaa was suppose to be in Jerusalem for a follow-up appointment and pet scan on October 26th, 2023 to see what the next steps of her treatment will be but because of the unprecedented war, every crossing point has been closed and her referral from the Ministry of Health to exit was completely rejected, rendering her unable to leave.

Ghydaa needs our support to evacuate immediately before the invasion of Rafah in which she'll be prisoned with no treatment. Ghydaa needs the support so she can resume proper treatment for her health and for a better future as she has seen enough pain and misery.

In the photo above, Ghydaa is undergoing her first chemotherapy session at the hospital. She says: "I was desperate, hopeless and crying because it hurts like hell. Yet, the heart-shape that you see in the photo gave me hope that day, like a light in the dark. I prayed and smiled.”

In the above picture, Ghydaa is on her first visit to Al-Aqsa, Jerusalem. She remembers: "I stayed there all day, praying Allah for salvation and good health. I was late for my radiation session because of the beauty and charm that was around me. "No regrets for the delay as I was at al-Aqsa for the first time in my life" I said to the young lady in the reception of the radiation department."

Ghydaa and Oday have dreams of starting a family with kids of their own. Ghydaa needs to evacuate to have access to proper medical follow-ups and complete the necessary fertility treatment to get pregnant and have children.

The money collected will help with costs of crossing the border in Rafah, continuing the live-saving medical treatments she needs as well as the costs of living (food, shelter, clothing) once in Egypt.

Time is of the essence. Every dollar donated will help Ghydaa and Oday immensely. Thank you for your generosity.
