Seeking donations for my young cousins in Gaza to safely evacuate.

My name is Abdul Aziz Ammar Arafat. I am 18 years of age living in Rafah, within the Gaza Strip, with my parents and 4 siblings who are minors. I am a recent high school graduate, enrolled in the University of Palestine, which has now been destroyed by Israeli bombings. Since the beginning of the Israeli aggressions and genocide in Gaza, on the 7th of October, we have been living in horrific and indescribable conditions; severe and limited access to food, no drinkable water, no medication, no running hospitals or electricity, as well as denied entry of food/aid trucks for over a month now. My young siblings can’t sleep at night from fear of the sound of bombings and carnage beyond our walls. We are pleading and seeking donations in order to cross the Rafah border and get to safety. With each passing day, death feels closer than before. My family and I are in dire need of help. It is only a matter of time before Israel’s increasing attacks on Rafah make it an uninhabitable city where we are already seeing famine and the spread of diseases.

Our family consists of 7 members, my father, mother, two brothers, and two sisters. I ask that you find it within your kind hearts to help us escape genocide, reach safety, and complete my education in Egypt. I have started this fundraising campaign to facilitate the evacuation of my family from the Gaza Strip into Egypt. We hope to raise $35,000.

Your generous contribution will go towards: Coordination of the Rafah crossing (5000$ per person x 7) $35,000 total.

Thank you.
