Dear people with humanity...

My name is Nisreen, a Palestinian born and raised in Gaza, and a pharmacy graduate. I am currently in the United Kingdom with my husband and children. I am reaching out to you all in my capacity as a concerned individual, but also as a fellow human being in desperate need of assistance.

The reason for creating this GoFundMe page is to bring to your attention the dire situation that my family, particularly my siblings and their children, are facing back in Gaza. As you may be aware, the region has been embroiled in a devastating conflict, leaving countless innocent civilians, including my loved ones, in unimaginable circumstances.

My family are currently in a perilous situation, devoid of basic necessities such as food, water, and medication. They are struggling to survive amidst the chaos of war, with no access to humanitarian aid. Our homes have been destroyed by carpet bombing air strikes and my family barely escaped with their lives. They are now displaced, trying to survive without proper shelter, food and water. The prices of food have been rising as it is becoming more and more scarce, the same will apply to any building material that will be needed post-war, as the whole cities have been demolished. My family home (where my brothers live with their families) is destroyed, both my sisters homes, my cousins, aunties, uncles, friends, and the list goes on. Neither us nor my family will be able to afford the cost of materials, and will take months to rebuild our homes.

As someone who grew up as an orphan alongside my siblings, we only have each other in this world. We lost our parents at a very young age, and the thought of losing my siblings to this conflict is unbearable. I have already lost many family members from these air strikes, and many before in previous wars.

I am writing today, not just as a plea for help, but as a desperate cry for assistance. My family's safety and well-being hang in the balance, and I am willing to do whatever it takes to ensure their survival. I kindly ask for everyone to please donate, or share this page; it is the least we can do. Every little helps and any donation, big or small, would be very much appreciated.

Your compassion, support and understanding would mean the world to me and my family. Thank you for taking the time to read.

Breakdown of cost for Rafah crossing:

$5,000 per adult (18+) - (14 x $5,000 = $70,000)

$2,500 per child - (22 x $2,500 = $55,000)

Overall, $125,000 just to cross the border, excluding Rafah crossing tax, transport, etc.
