Help evacuate my family from Gaza
Donation protected
My name is Mohamed. I am a Dutch Palestinian born in Gaza Strip.
I am raising funds on behalf of my family, 3 brothers and 5 sisters and their family members. They are trapped in Rafah, 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 Netherland, 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 European citizenship like me. They are not permitted to pass through the Rafah border crossing into Egypt.
Unfortunately the Netherland has not granted any assistance to Dutch citizens in my position to evacuate their families as is similar in other war zones, so they are trapped refugees.
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.
