Help my friend evacuate his family from Gaza
Donación protegida
Hello people, my family’s been living the most vicious aggression for 102 days, dwelling in a tent. I haven’t even imagined that I would reach this point and ask for money to get my family out of this heinous war, but here I am.
I am the oldest brother of a small family of 6 members. My father, who’s my role model, had spent seven years in Israeli prisons; he got his freedom after spending those seven years and got married in 1995 when he was 25 years old, which means he was sentenced to prison when he was just 18 years old. My mother, the real hero, lost her brother during this war, and her two sisters are in the ICU as well. Mom has been dreaming about seeing us leaders since we were young, and she raised us to be. My brothers Mahmoud, Ahmed, and Mohammed have witnessed almost four wars till now.
My family was forcibly displaced from the center of the Gaza Strip after the Israeli occupation forced them to evacuate to the southern district. They forced them again to leave my relative's home as they headed to Khan Younis, this time to build a tent and stay there, although there is no safe place there in Gaza after losing our house, car and almost everything we have there.
I have tried so many times to get them out of Gaza but couldn’t since we have one crossing border (Rafah Crossing Border), and it’s closed. Anyone who wants to get out of Gaza must pay almost $9000 to the Egyptian government as coordination fees. I have five family members, so that would cost practically $50,000.
I am currently living in Turkey and will try to get them visas from Egypt to Turkey or let them stay in Egypt; Any safe place is much better than being in danger, and I am terrified of getting news of losing any of them as I already experienced with my uncle and two aunts.
I and my family will appreciate any contribution that may help my family get out of Gaza and be in a safer place until this war ends.
