Please Help the Al-Farra Family Escape to Safety From Gaza

My name is Zainab, I am fundraising on behalf of the Al Farra family from Australia.

This evacuation fund is to help to get the Al Farra family of 8 across the Egyptian border. The family consists of: Hasan Yehya Al Farra (50 years old), Mai Saleem Al Farra (45 years old), Ghadeer Hasan Al Farra (26 years old), Yehya Hasan Al Farra (23 years old), and the rest of Yehya and Mai’s underage children and grandchild. Mohannad, Mohammad, Saleem, and Hasan Awdah a 1 year old baby.

At the very beginning of this war, Ghadeer Al Farra’s house was airstriked killing her newlywed husband Awdah and leaving their 4 month old baby Hasan Awdah orphaned. Following the brutal bombing, they fled to nearby family members’ house and stayed there.

Her son Hasan Awdah, now being an orphan left with only her to care for him turned 1 years old recently, is in need of proper shelter, hygiene, infant food and care. Especially with all the diseases being passed around at the moment due to the lack of proper living conditions in the tents the families are forced to live in. A one year old child and his widowed mother deserve to live a life of peace, away from the atrocities they have lived so far. Following the brutal bombing, Ghadeer took her infant baby and fled to their family members’ house and stayed there.

The house consisted of Ghadeer’s father Hasan Yehya, her mother Mai, her newborn Hasan Awdah, and her brothers Yehya (23 y/o) Ahmed (18) Mohannad (17) Mohammed (15) and Saleem (9). Her cousins Ahmed Moussa (35) and Abdullah (15)

When forces invaded their neighborhood in December 2023, they threw smoke bombs through planes from above, and surrounding the area, they used tanks to invade the area and bomb the family.

During the invasion, the family was in their house. Ahmed, the eighteen-year-old high school senior, was struck and bled severely for more than 12 hours with no proper healthcare, he later succumbed to his wounds and was martyred. Ahmed Moussa and Abdullah also succumbed to their injuries and bled out. Ghadeer, the mother of 1-year-old Hasan, was also struck, she survived the attack but was critically injured in her neck, and was unable to get any medical help due to the sheer amount of patients in need of desperate help. And considering her condition wasn’t a life-or-death one, her care was not prioritized. Saleem, the 9 year old child, was also struck during the attack but thankfully survived.

To this day, Ghadeer and Saleem remain untreated of their injuries.

These innocent women and children were traumatized beyond repair. Mai, who is the mother of Ghadeer and her brothers, was struck with grief upon losing her son Ahmed, and seeing all her injured children who were crying and begging for aid after the brutal attack on their home. The trauma of their situation haunts them daily. They were then forced to evacuate to Rafah, and then later again 2 more times due to the constant strikes.

They currently reside in tents with a severe lack of food, water, and clean conditions which funneled the widespread of diseases such as Hepatitis.

Please help us in getting this family to the urgent safety they deserve, to allow them to continue to live the same as you and me.

Although the border is currently closed, the family has ties in Egypt that will help them settle there as soon as the needed amount is collected and the border is opened back up.

I will be sending the money to the family direcrlt through western union as soon as the needed sum is collected.

In order to cross the border $7600 AUD is required per person, including all underage children. (7600)*8 =$60,800 AUD

The money will be used only for the evacuations, before the family will be greeted by Hasan’s cousin who resides in Cairo upon crossing the border.
