Help Eman's Family Evacuation from Gaza

Donation protected
My name is Aliaa Ali, and together with my sister Noran Ali, we are raising funds to help in the evacuation of our dear friend Eman Mahmoud Khalil and her family members. Eman, a 34-year-old mother of three—Joury, aged 9, Mohamed, aged 8, and Zein, aged 2.5—used to live as normal happy family with her husband Samir who was working as a Lawyer while Eman takes care of their children.

She and her family used to live in a beautiful, warm house at the Tal El Hawa neighbourhood located in the Northen part of Gaza.. Despite the onset of war, Eman and her family never contemplated leaving their homeland. They always held onto hope that the conflict would cease, allowing them to rebuild their lives in their own country.
But, after 177 days of bombings, destruction, and facing extremely challenging circumstances, the entire extended family lost their source of income, their homes, leaving them without shelter.
The entire neighborhood was destroyed, forcing the family to relocate to Deir el Balah Tent under extremely harsh and dangerous conditions. They lack adequate clothing to protect themselves from the harsh winter weather.
The children are enduring harsh conditions as they are separated from their schools and friends, living in a constant fear and anxiety. With limited essential supplies like food, medicine, and clean water, diseases are spreading quickly, significantly endangering the children's health and increasing the family's risk of serious illnesses.
After their father's family home was bombed, they were left homeless and displaced, making it impossible for them to continue living there.




Their Father Mahmoud Khalil , aged 66, who used to be the main family support, has now lost their family house and is experiencing severe kidney pain caused by the enlargement and formation of stones in his only kidneys. This condition arose from having to consume contaminated water during the war, The no access to medical assistance or healthcare support is worsening his condition.

Eitimad, the mother of the family, 61 years old, has chronic hypertension and aortic dilatation, leading to chest-related health issues. She struggles to find her necessary breathing aids and medication, constantly battling breathing difficulties and fighting for her life in the face of extremely poor living conditions.

Her Sister Sahar Mahmoud Khalil, a 26-year-old interior designer, used to support her family and assist her father in covering living expenses. However, her office, work, and all her efforts have been destroyed and no longer exist. She has been left with nothing, and her only hope now is to survive alongside her family.
Shahd Mahmoud Khalil 19 years old is an outstanding student in the second year of Business Administration, now she has no access to her study or even her books. Saleh Mahmoud Khalil 30 years old, graduated from the Faculty of Medical Equipment, has lost his jobs and no longer has any source of income or place to live.
Currently, Eman's family is living in a temporary tent, facing near-starvation and lacking access to clean water. They are forced to drink water that is not safe for consumption, leading to a rise in diseases and infections such as gastroenteritis, respiratory illnesses, and Hepatitis C. These dire living conditions have become unbearable for them.
Eman is deeply concerned about her family, especially her young children who are experiencing desperate circumstances and are terrified by the sounds of explosions, destruction, and the constant emergency situations around them. Their situation is incredibly distressing, and the urgency to leave Gaza has become a matter of life and death.

We are launching a critical fundraising campaign to aid Eman and her kids and family in safely crossing the Rafah border and reaching Egypt, which requiring a paid permit. My sister Nouran, in Egypt, is actively handling the paperwork and necessary procedures. It is crucial that we obtain the required Following funds urgently to secure a spot on the Crossing List.

1. 8,000 to 10,000 US$ (App. 15,368 AU$) per Adult person for 9 family members, fees for permits for crossing Rafah Border
2. 2,500 US$ (3,840 AU$) per child for 3 children, fees for permits for crossing Rafah Border
3. Rest of the fund 2,700 US$ (4,149AU$) is for shelter, food and medication in Egypt, and to urgently provide healthcare for both the father and mother.
4. Plus 2,325 US$ (3,573 AU$) 2.9% fees associated with Gofundme
