Help Gaza family evacuate out of Rafah

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Rabah Dawoud. I am 25 years old, and I am fundraising for my family and me to evacuate Gaza. Due to the ongoing aggressions, we have lost our homes and almost all of our belongings. My family and I, including my elderly father, have been displaced from central Gaza and have had to move around countless times. We have barely escaped death countless times. I have 3 other siblings who live in Gaza; two of them are married with their own families and homes that they've also lost.

My sister Reema Dawoud’s home has been affected by bombs. She barely escaped her home and had to leave on foot without any of her belongings. She watched as her home caught on fire with her young child and her husband. I’ve attached pictures of her building as well as her husband’s car.

My older brother Rany Dawoud has 6 young kids. His building was also targeted. He had also just recently remodeled his home. I’ve also attached pictures of his destroyed building.

My other brother Mohammad Dawoud had just recently opened up his own business in the Remal district in Gaza. He invested thousands of dollars in his clothing shop and bought thousands of dollars worth of inventory. He saved up for many years to be able to do this. Al Remal has been heavily bombed since the beginning of October, and we assume his store has been destroyed.

I have not seen my home since we evacuated to the south on October 13th. The home where we all grew up and made all of our memories in. The surrounding buildings have been bombed, but we are unaware of the current state of our family home. However, we are assuming the worst since it is in a heavily bombarded area.

The money raised will be used to help us evacuate out of Rafah and into Egypt. The price to evacuate is $5,000 per person. I was working a good job before this all started, and now I am no longer able to work. The burden of evacuating is too large to bear on our own. Any donation amount helps and is greatly appreciated.

I don’t have a current picture of his store as it was far too dangerous to check on it. But this is what the Remal district looks like now
