Hello, and thank you for visiting my fundraiser. My name is Aya, and I’m a sixth year medical student from Gaza. Six years ago, I tearfully left my beloved family and home to study medicine in Egypt. The calamity that has befallen my family over the past 6 months is impossible to describe. Our house, which we’d invested years of labor and love in building, was bombed, and only part of my family was rescued from under the rubble. My surviving relatives have since been displaced six times, and now share a tent in Rafah. Conditions in their tent camp are highly unsanitary, and the fact that 15 of my relatives are sharing a single tent further worsens the risk of disease afflicting them. The tent is also quite fragile, and can easily get destroyed or sink when it rains.

I am raising funds to evacuate my grandparents, both of whom are in their late 70s. Born before the Nakba, they had already been displaced from their ancestral village and survived 11 aggressions before this genocide began. This genocide has displaced them twice, first from their house and then from their tent encampment in Rafah after the latest IOF offensive began. My grandparents are as resilient as they are unfailingly cheerful and optimistic, but this genocide has taken a significant toll on their health. With your solidarity and support, I hope to register my grandparents for evacuation as soon as possible.
