Help family evacuate Gaza and find safety and security

Donation protected
I am Kajan, from England, I am creating this donation page for my dear friend in Gaza, Ameera Hamed. I Initially raised money for her in the hope that she and her son have enough funds to leave Gaza to find safety and security, or if they are unable to rebuild their bombed home. With the the gates closed she is raising money so she and her son can survive on the next evacuation.

She also has a sweet son. They are from Gaza and have been displaced several times. They're currently in a tent in Khan Yunis. A place that has been the target of heavy attacks. They're also always expected to evacuate and move to whatever "safe zone" is designated next.

Know that they will have to leave most of their things behind to move on foot. With no method of transport and basic prices of such things as tent go for $1000 dollars each move is disastrous, she is left wondering whether she should move or wait not knowing if she can find shelter and provide herself and for her sone with basic provisions once again.

So far they have been asked to evacuate 8 times often needing to leave their things behind and move to the next location.

She has lost so much in the past horrific year, and is going through things we can't even begin to imagine.


This is a message from her:

I have lived in Gaza most my life. My family home has been destroyed, I have been relocated 8 now during the last 14 months.

My family home now



My family were actually a generation of refugees from Rafah. I used to live in home which you can see is now rubble. My home used to be like this with my son sitting out side.

My family home before the devastation


I now live in a tent and my life if kind of miserable. Finally trapped with no opportunity of a life, I have decided to move my son and me to Egypt. I hope from there to build a life again.


My life:

I live in a tent actually it is part of a tent, I cannot afford to live in a complete tent which is over an $1000 (£800). My son and I are living by the hospital, in crowded area, they say there are about 50,000 of us living here. My son in the picture has to see the injured and maimed around the hospital, I try to avoid it for me and him, it is bad for him and I find it sad too.

My part tent where I live with my son



I have in some way got used to the war. The basics of life are the worst part of it. I have to queue for half an hour, also if my son needs to go I have to do this. Queue for basics such as water for washing I have to walk for ten minutes now the running water supply has been cut. I also in fact have to walk to get to the toilet for ten minutes. The toilets are really bad, they are kind of dirty, recently I got Hepatitis A which is really common because of the toilets.

Every donation, no matter how small it is, will make a significant difference to us. Even if is in the end to help us rebuild a home when it is over.

Borders between Egypt and Gaza are closed, which can be up to £5600 per adult and £2300-£3200 per child.





In this regard, I have initiated this campaign in order to facilitate the exit and evacuation process of me and my son from Gaza.

I am unable to accept payment into Gaza so have asked a trusted friend on my behalf to do this for me, thank you for your previous donations I have received those.

Any donation would be much appreciated.

As for now I'll be using the money to cover my cost to live, food and hopefully if there is a possibility to leave for Egypt I will with my son.

Thank you for anything you can give.
