Urgent: Help my family to evacuate from Gaza

Dear Free World people

I hope this letter reaches you in good health.

I am Rana Alsawalhi, from Rafah, and Living with my Husband and our children in the Netherlands. I am writing to you with a heavy heart, seeking urgent help for my family who is trapped in the war-torn region of Gaza. Our situation is dire, and I am reaching out to you for support.

On October 21st, tragedy struck our family when our house in Rafah was bombed by the Israeli air force. We lost 9 family members, including my two brothers and their children. My 75-year-old mother miraculously survived, but we are living in constant fear as we navigate the dangers of the ongoing conflict.

Ibrahim, The only survivor of my Brother Raed's Family

My mother urgently needs medication and medical assistance, and the rest of the family is struggling to find safety. Adding to our worries, my husband's family also needs help to evacuate. His parents require medical attention that is not available in Gaza.

I am seeking financial assistance to evacuate both my family and my husband's family to Egypt. Leaving Gaza is not easy, and we are required to pay substantial fees to ensure safe border crossings. The estimated cost for evacuation is 5000 USD (Fees).

Here's a breakdown of the costs:

- Escape fees: 14 family members x 5000 USD = 70,000 USD

- Cost of travel to Cairo: 14 x 250 USD = 3,500 USD

I understand that times are tough, and any amount you can contribute will make a significant difference, no matter how small. The funds raised will be used transparently to cover the evacuation costs.

I kindly ask for your support and request you to share this appeal with your friends and family. Together, we can make a real impact and provide a lifeline for my family during these challenging times.

Your generosity will not only provide immediate relief but also offer hope for a secure and peaceful future for my family.

Thank you for considering helping us. Your kindness and support mean the world to us.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Rana
