Help what's left of a Wala’a family

Donation protected

Hey there, my name is Sara and I am based in the Netherlands. I have created this campaign in the desperate need to help evacuate dear friends of ours Wala’a, her husband Mahmoud and 1.5year old deauther Aya to safety and to
try to rebuild a life that they deserve.

The situation in Gaza is inhumane and with everything going on with the attacks, bombings and severe shortages of food and water - Wala’a is fearful that they won't make it through. They are willing to leave behind their home and all the memories it entails in order to survive and we are asking for your help to make this happen.

some information about wala’a family:

Mahmoud Ibraheem Mohammed El bursh (30 years old)
Wala’a Ismail Mohammed Al sharif (27years old)
Aya Mahmoud Ibraheem Elbursh (1.5 years old)

Wala’a , Mahmoud and Aya before the current war:



Now Wala’a will tell you what happened to them.

Hello to the world, to the most kind hearts of the world

My name’s wala’a study specialty dentistry that I dreamed of when I was young and I struggled to prove myself with it, but unfortunately I have not worked since I graduated since 2019 due to poor economic conditions and unemployment. My husband studied software engineering and worked in several fields and lost his work on the morning of the seventh day of October! Our lives turned upside down.

But the biggest event was the 20th of October, the day we left our house, all of Al-Zahra towers were bombed, 35 towers, and we stayed in the street at night for 12 hours, and we saw the towers falling before our eyes in the severe cold at night!

Aya in front of the destroyed towers of the city of Zahra:





After that, we went to my father's house, and he was bombed on our heads, and we miraculously camed, and we are also exposed to this event again because we do not know any safe place.

I left for the displacement shelter, but we were suffering from epidemics, lack of hygiene and unfit drinking water until I was infected with the hepatitis A, and my only child was hit by severe pollution. There are statistics at the Euro-Mediterranean Observatory that confirm the number of children with epidemics in the places of displacement, which is more than absorbed and is not suitable for human use, knowing that I need the shelter even if it is dirty, because it is some kind of a safe place according to the coordinator page of the other party, until the tanks entered the shelter centre of the UNRWA.

And I still suffer from the lack of treatment necessary for my health condition, as I have difficulty breathing and I use Nosacare treatment permanently, and this treatment is cut off. I do not want my fate to be like my mother, who I lost in the war because of the lack of cancer treatment sessions.

So I'm trying to get out, me and my family

All contributions will go to aid the following expenses:

* EUR21,000 for Permits and Crossing: expenses for evacuating Gaza through the Rafah-Egypt border will come to EUR 7,000 per person.
* EUR2500 for transaction costs: GoFundMe’s transaction fees and international transfer costs will come to an estimated EUR2500.
* EUR 3500 Estimated cost for living expenses. (Food, shelter, clothes and any other necessities they might need)
* EUR 10 Estimated cost every week for my treatment

Now we are in Gaza and we are seeking to get out to Egypt.

Imagine a world where Aya can grow up without the constant fear of airstrikes, a world where Mahmoud and Wala’a can rebuild their lives and pursue dreams that were once deemed impossible.
