A friend's family of mine is asking for support to gather enough funds to sustain themselves in the current conditions in Gaza. So far they have been displaced many times, having lost their house and all possessions in the ongoing destruction. With the current round of talks for a ceasefire, it is hoped that the Rafah Crossing will be open allowing individuals to move across. The family are currently with no means of income or work, and are hoping to raise enough funds to sustain themselves till they are able to cross into Egypt and establish themselves there.

We are a family of seven members: a father, a mother, four brothers, and one girl—three of whom are children.

The war has lasted for nearly two years without any real solutions or genuine determination from the world to stop the massacre. This deteriorating humanitarian situation is worsening exponentially. Life is becoming harsher day by day, especially for the children. Their tender fingers were not meant to live amidst wars and the selfishness of both parties, who push their agendas through our bodies and the bodies of our children. We are experiencing a great loss of hope, in addition to having lost everything—literally and truly—our home, safety, warmth, and even food. We are living in the midst of famine, and this famine has turned life inside the Gaza Strip into something resembling a jungle, where the strong devour the weak.

We are sharing this campaign to help our family survive and hold on to our humanity to the fullest extent, because we believe that humanity comes first. We extend our hand to ask for help. The donations from this campaign will go towards our living expenses, especially the needs of the children and their essential supplies, and to attempt to leave Gaza if an opportunity arises for this family to see the light of the outside world.

I am a friend of the family and will seek to send them the funds one by one. The collected money will be transfered to Mohammed's family so they can sustain themselves in the current conditions, and whenever the chance arises, secure a safe passage from Rafah crossing into Egypt.
