Hope for Gaza: Supporting a War-Torn Family <div>My name is Dr. Yousef Ayman from Gaza (Palestine), I am writing this after lots of thoughts and hesitation. But the urgency and need to rescue my family is greater than my resilience, and i am Fundraising to help me live a good life after losing everything !</div><div>I am desperately seeking your generous support to help me evacuate my family (parents, 3 sisters and 10 brothers) from Gaza . I will remain in Gaza meanwhile to help my people.</div><div><br></div><div>I worked at Al Shifa hospital and I was among the last ones to evacuate it, I’ve been volunteering in the different remaining hospital since then in der albalah. I am dedicated to stay here and save lives in Gaza, but now I’ve come to a point where I’m desperate and I URGENTLY and humbly ask you to help me save my family’s life by getting them out of Gaza since there’s no SAFE place in Gaza due to slow deaths by hunger, dehydration, displacement, the spreading of illnesses and and the ongoing bombings. Choosing to leave is a very painful decision to make, but the situation has become untenable</div><div>We are now homeless like many others due to the ongoing bombings in Gaza since October 7th. My family was displaced 10 times and since I didn’t want to flee to the south with them and leave all those injured patients behind, I’ve decided to stay and volunteer in the hospital while not being sure if they made it safely to the south or if I’d ever hear from them again.</div><div><br></div><div>The nightmare began on the morning of October 7, 2023</div><div>Suddenly we woke up to the sounds of explosions and we did not know anything</div><div>And from here began the war on Gaza, the war of annihilation, the war of destruction, the war of wiping families from the Palestinian civil registry.</div><div><br></div><div>The beginning was the first normal day of the war, like any round of previous wars, but the story was that from the  sixth day of the war, we received notifications to evacuate the place, “Al-Nasser" Neighborhood.” We started preparing a bag for the trip, consisting of clothes and important papers only, without any memories, with the hope of returning.</div><div>The displacement journey began on the sixth day. It was a very difficult day when messages arrived to us to evacuate from our homes to the places of displacement in the south. Before the sixth day, there were displaced people in our homes. When the news of the displacement came, we also decided to migrate together. We were displaced to the land of my grandfather in Deir al-Balah, a land not prepared for living. We set up tents on the small land and we were about 80 people, most of whom were women and children. Two days after displacement, I decided to also volunteer at  shohdaa Al-Aqsa  Hospital in order to continue my career, which is saving innocent lives.</div><div>Now we hope to escape death, we hope for the end of the war, we hope to leave the Gaza Strip, we hope to live a decent life away from bombing, occupation and destruction.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>It’s been 4 months of hell and horror. This genocide has been too long to bear, and our mental health and lives are in constant danger. (I can’t describe enough what I have been dealing with daily in the hospitals for the past 107 days, We have reached a point where there is no hope left for us here in Gaza where we are unfortunately just waiting for our turn to die and even if there is a ceasefire, the destruction in Gaza is beyond prompt repair.</div><div><br></div><div>To cross “Rafah” Gaza-Egypt Borders your need to have your name listed in the Crossing List (paid permit) and coordinators in Egypt who have the power to add my family’s names to the list at the border are now asking for anywhere from $7-10,000 per PERSON! They will not add the names until we can prove we have the money ready.</div><div>It’s been 5 months of hell and horror.

Please consider SHARING my campaign widely with your family and friends to reach my goal as soon as possible since every second is death danger in Gaza. I will be forever grateful for your kind assistance in this difficult time.</div>
