Donation protected
NOTE: The Rafah Border Crossing has been closed since May of this year. We don't know when it will reopen, however we want to be prepared for all cases.

We urgently seek your assistance to help journalist Rakan, his dedicated cameraman Salah, and their families escape the ongoing genocide in Gaza, as reported by UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories, Francesca Albanese.

Including himself, Rakan's family consists of seven members, while Salah's family comprises four. These brave individuals have tirelessly worked on the ground for media outlets such as SBS and The National News, risking their lives to report the truth amidst unfathomable pressures.


Fadwa, Salah's youngest, was born in late November of 2023. The world she opened her eyes to is the same world we've all been trying to look away from.

Press personnel in Gaza are facing unprecedented dangers, with journalists being specifically targeted in the violence. Rakan and Salah, along with their families, are among those directly affected, struggling to find safety amid the chaos.


At least 140 journalists have since been martyred in Gaza.

Unfortunately, the escalating conflict has made their situation increasingly perilous. They are now facing immense challenges in accessing safety. Any funds will contribute to their resettlement out of Gaza.

We are rallying support from the public to raise funds that will directly contribute to assisting Rakan, Salah, and their families in evacuating to safety. In addition to the crossing fees, they also urgently require support for food, shelter, and medical supplies.

Your generosity can make a life-saving difference for these courageous individuals and their loved ones. Every contribution, no matter how small, will bring them one step closer to safety and enable them to continue their vital work.

Salah's first-born, Sama, has not even turned 2. She faces the risk of extreme starvation.

Together, we can provide the support and resources needed to help Rakan, Salah, and their families escape the targeted attacks on press in Gaza and rebuild their lives in a safer environment.

Thank you for your compassion and solidarity in this critical moment.

La familia de Rakan está formada por siete personas, y la familia de Salah está formada por cuatro miembros.

Estos valientes periodistas han trabajado incansablemente desde el lugar de los hechos para medios de comunicación como SBS, en arabe https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/news-series/sbs-news-in-arabic y en ingles https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/news-series/sbs-world-news y The National News, arriesgando sus vidas para informar la verdad en medio de presiones inimaginables.

Los equipos de prensa en Gaza se enfrentan a peligros sin precedentes, y los periodistas son el blanco específico de la violencia. Rakan y Salah, junto con sus familias, se encuentran entre los directamente afectados y luchan por encontrar seguridad para ellos y sus familias en medio del caos.

Desafortunadamente, el conflicto dsigue escalando y su situación es cada vez más peligrosa. Estan enfrentando inmensos desafíos para encontrar refugio.

Estamos reuniendo el apoyo del público para recaudar fondos que contribuirán directamente a ayudar a Rakan, Salah y sus familias a evacuar a un lugar seguro. Además de las tarifas de cruce, también necesitan urgentemente apoyo para alimentos, alojamiento y suministros médicos. Cualquier fondo contribuirá a su reasentamiento fuera de Gaza.

Su generosidad puede marcar una diferencia que salve las vidas de estas valientes personas y sus seres queridos. Cada contribución, por pequeña que sea, los acercará un paso más a la seguridad y les permitirá continuar con su trabajo.

Juntos, podemos brindar el apoyo y los recursos necesarios para ayudar a Rakan, Salah y sus familias a escapar de los ataques selectivos contra la prensa en Gaza y reconstruir sus vidas en un entorno más seguro.

Gracias por su compasión y solidaridad en este momento tan crítico.
