Help Dr. Abdelfattah's family evacuate from Gaza

‏

I am a cosmetic dentist and dental surgeon, Dr. Abdelfattah Mhanna, with a strong ambition and perseverance. My family in Gaza consisting of 11 members, including me, my father, my mother, mohammed, abdelaziz, abdelrahman, abdelraheem, abdelaziz wife ( Laila ) and her children Lilian 11yo, Farah 8yo, Shams 1yo. Over the past 10 years, I've worked tirelessly, I've dedicated myself to my family, working hard, planning, building my career and start a family business by opening my first dental center in 2017. Despite facing challenges, I became a well-known dental professional in Gaza. Unfortunately, my life has been upside down since Oct 7th, Since that particular day, thousands of innocent lives have been lost in Gaza, many of innocent people lost their works and the only source of income, like me as I established a new branch of the dental & skin care center at a total cost of $480,000 and opened it in April 2023, but I did not complete the remaining installments and it was completely destroyed the main branch in October 2023 in Al-watan Tower.

Me and my family, left our home under the continuous bombardment and artillery strikes, on foot, without carrying with us our personal supplies, winter clothes, or even our money, heading from Gaza to Deir al-Balah. There in Deir al-Balah we lived the most difficult days of our lives in a shelter with scarce resources, sleeping on the ground. Without covers, without drinking a healthy water, then we moved to Khan Yunis after the intensification of the strikes and bombing, then we moved to Rafah in the hope that we would find safety there or find a way out of Gaza to a safe place that we dream of for the future of our children, and to continue our journey of drawing smiles on the faces of our patients. Let us live a happy, safe life for us and our children, and keep them away from all this pain, destruction, and siege, and spare them the miserable future that will await them if the situation continues as it is in Gaza. The pain we have experienced over the years, I do not seek or accept that our children will experience in the future.

We are currently seeking help to evacuate from Gaza to Egypt looking for a safe and healthy place. But Unfortunately, the costs are exorbitant and change dramatically and unexpectedly by the day, as Israel's grip on the south of Gaza intensifies in the coming days and weeks, the costs will continue to rise as the demand increases and the number of agents operating the evacuation routes drops.

‎‏As of late January the evacuation fee ranges between $8,000 and $10,000 per person, before processing and transport fees, and we will pay the higher end of the range since Lilian, Farah and baby Shams doesn't have passports.

Any amount raised beyond the total will be used to supplement me & my family lives as refugees in Egypt.

Your donation, no matter how small, will make an impact. You will be contributing to getting my family to safety. The funds will be used transparently and every dollar will go towards securing our evacuation.

Please share this campaign widely to help us reach our goal and bring my family to safety. Your support means more than you can imagine and I am incredibly grateful for any assistance you can provide during this challenging time.

Thank you for your compassion and generosity. Together, we can make change and help my family find the safety and security they need.

In solidarity and gratitude,

Dr. Abdelfattah Mhanna
