<div>Hi my name is Mahmoud Elsousy, I am a Software Engineer, working and living in Ireland, I am fundraising to evacuate my family from Gaza,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am creating this fund raiser on the day 160 of the war in Gaza, despite all the brutal conditions they are living through, my family didn't want to leave Gaza in the hope that the war would end soon and they would be able to go back home, rebuild and live on their land.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>During these past 160 my family have been living through inhumane conditions, where every aspect of their life is simply torture, long pages can be written on the details of the horrible situation my family has been living through for the past months, as a start and since there is no safe place in Gaza, everyone is in a constant fear of getting killed, injured or losing family members, for more than five months now, they have been sleeping not knowing if they would make it to the morning, and waking not knowing if they would live until the evening, living this pressure every day for more than a 160 days, is enough suffering for any human, but this is just the base of the suffering, adding to this the bitter feeling of enormous loss, losing people; relatives, friends, colleagues, neighbors, and more, losing places; our houses, schools, universities, workplaces, entire neighborhood, their own personal properties which they had to leave behind to be destroyed when they left Gaza city.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In addition to all of that mental suffering, the physical living situations are no better, every aspect of their life has been a struggle, from finding a shelter to sleep in, to finding covers and mattresses, going to the toilets, personal hygiene, privacy, clothes, shoes, and most importantly food and medicine, all of these basic needs are now a dream to secure.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My family left Gaza on the 13th of October, and this was the last day they have seen their houses, since that day, they have been living as refugees in different places, at first they went to a friends house in Khan Younes city, then due to the bombings they had to flee to Alaqsa university in west Khan Younes, then when the ground invasion in Khan Younes started and the danger was increasing in the area, they moved again to Rafah on the 5th of December, and now with the ground invasion to Rafah is closing they have run out of places to run, and don't know what to do or where to go if and when the invasion starts.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My family, living in these situations are 9 members, from my 60+ years old parents to my ~1.5 years nephews, they are all living through this, and it's laying its weights on them all, they have tried to endure and hold to their land, in the hope that this would end soon, but its taking way longer than what they can humanely endure, and they are looking for any relief from their suffering, I am creating this fund raiser asking for your help to evacuate them from this terrible situation they found them selves in, but most importantly to save their lives as they are in constant danger.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My family members are:
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>Dr. Khaled</strong>: 62, my father, retired professor from Alaqsa university.
</li>
<li><strong>Samia</strong>: 59, my mother
</li>
<li><strong>Sawsan</strong>: 17, my sister, Tawjeehee student (Final school year)
</li>
<li><strong>Adeeb</strong>: 30, my brother, MSD Program Coordinator - Mercy Corps
</li>
<li><strong>Ruba</strong>: 27, Adeeb's wife, Civil Engineer
</li>
<li><strong>Bashar</strong>: 1.5, Adeeb and Ruba's son
</li>
<li><strong>Saeed</strong>: 26, Graphic Designer
</li>
<li><strong>Esraa</strong>: 25, Saeed's wife
</li>
<li><strong>Shams</strong>, 1.5, Saeed and Esraa's daughter
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To evacuate them from Gaza to safety we need 5000usd per adult and 2500usd per child, which sums up to to 40k USD (to sign their names up for evacuation through Rafah cross point to Egypt via the only available way -Hala Company-), we would also need about 5000usd more to arrange for the payments, transportation, and a place to stay for a few days in Egypt until we find a long term place to stay in, totaling the amount we are hoping to raise at 45k USD, this is an insane amount of money to pay for an evacuation, but unfortunately, this is the only available option we have to save the family and the children, we have lost most of our belongings as our houses have been partially destroyed and the past few months have burned through our savings, and this is reason we are turning to you and asking for your help to evacuate from Gaza, this is our only hope now.
