Help my family evacuate Gaza War!

Hi compassionate souls,

My name is Dina. I am a American Palestinian. I have lived, with my husband and 2 kids in California.

I am raising funds on behalf of my family (10 members of immediate family - my father, mother, brothers and sisters,

my nieces and nephews). They are trapped in Gaza, living in tents with the bare minimum of access to water, food or the minimum basic needs. I feel ashamed that I am living a privileged life here in the US, while my family are at risk of dying at any second, if not from bombs, it will be from starvation, dehydration or disease.

Unfortunately they are trapped in Gaza as they don’t have American citizenship like me. They are not permitted to pass through the Rafah border crossing into Egypt.

Shamefully, the US has not granted any assistance to American citizens in my position to evacuate their families as is similar in other war zones, so they are trapped refugees.

I have pleaded with our MP to assist evacuating them, but all has fallen on deaf ears.

Embarrassingly, the only glimmer of hope is to plea with you to fund them so that the money is used to pay a travel agency located in Egypt to assist them crossing into and resettling in Egypt, into safety. I would have never envisaged myself crowd funding for such a solution, but I wouldn't forgive myself for not doing everything and anything possible or imaginable to save their lives and get them into safety.

I appreciate your generosity.

Dina.
