<div>My friend Iman is writing this with a heavy heart as a mother and wife, desperately seeking help to save her family.
</div>
<div>They are trapped in Gaza, a place that has become a war zone, and the conditions they face are beyond words.

<div><strong>Urgent Need for Survival: Abdul Karim and Iman Are Struggling Every Day</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since the war began last October, their lives have been turned upside down. They lost everything—home, car, and their sole source of income. Abdul Karim, Iman’s husband, owned a clothing store that was their livelihood, but the occupation completely destroyed it. They were forced to flee to a temporary shelter in the southern area of the Gaza Strip, leaving everything behind. The constant bombardment, the fear, and the lack of basic necessities have made every day a struggle for survival.

</div>
<div>They urgently need funds just to survive. Iman is 8 months pregnant, and the absence of proper medical care is putting both her life and her unborn child at severe risk. Abdul Karim is doing everything he can to protect and provide for them, but the situation is dire. Their three young children—Alma and Eline, their 3.5-year-old twins, and Omar, their 1-year-old son—are traumatized. The daily fear in their eyes breaks their hearts. Eline is suffering from hepatitis C, and without proper treatment, her condition is worsening. Omar has known nothing but war since he was barely six months old. He celebrated his first birthday amidst the chaos of conflict, and the fear that he will never know peace haunts them.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The situation in Gaza is dire. They are struggling to provide even the most basic needs—food, water, and medical supplies. Every day is a fight for survival, and the uncertainty of what tomorrow will bring weighs heavily on them all. Without help, they don’t know how they’ll make it through the coming days and weeks.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Please, help their daughters, their son, and their unborn child.</strong>

<div><strong>Their Urgent Need for Evacuation.</strong>
</div>
<div>They know that staying in Gaza is not an option, especially with a new baby on the way. The conditions are too dangerous, and their only hope is to escape to Egypt once the Rafah crossing becomes operational. <strong>The cost of crossing is $5,000 per person</strong>, which could mean months of waiting.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>On top of evacuation costs, surviving there is incredibly expensive. Prices for basic necessities have skyrocketed, making it hard to afford food, water, and medical supplies.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>They need to raise <strong>$30,000</strong> to cover both the <strong>evacuation costs</strong> and their<strong> immediate survival expenses</strong>. This amount will help them secure their place for evacuation and manage the high cost of living in Gaza.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Your support is crucial for their immediate safety and survival.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>They need to raise these funds urgently to secure their place in the evacuation process.</strong> Every day that passes, the risks grow higher. Abdul Karim and Iman are doing everything they can, but they need your help to get their family out of this nightmare.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As Iman’s due date approaches, <strong>she is terrified.</strong> She needs a cesarean section and essential medical care to survive, but under these conditions, the prospects of a safe operation seem increasingly bleak. The uncertainty and fear are overwhelming.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Please donate and share to help them survive and escape this war.</strong>
</div>
<div>The funds they seek are crucial not only for evacuation but also for their immediate survival. They need your support to provide for their basic needs <strong>food</strong>, <strong>water</strong>, and <strong>medical care</strong> until they can safely leave Gaza.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>If, for any reason, they are unable to evacuate, Iman pledges to donate the funds to UNRWA to help others in Gaza who are suffering as they are.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Iman prays that you help them in this dire hour. Your donation can help them survive now and ensure a future for their children outside of this nightmare. <strong>Their lives hang in the balance.</strong>
