Help My Family Survive: Famine and Health Crisis in Gaza

NB : 1 USD doller equal 11 Norwegian Krone

Dear Friends,

I urgently appeal to your compassion to help rescue my family from the dire situation in Gaza. My name is Rania fraij, and my family, including my two sisters and their children, is trapped at the Rafah border.

The authorities demand $10,000 per adult and around $5,000 to $6,000 per child for passage into Egypt. We cannot afford this, and the situation has become critical.

Gaza is under constant attack and siege, leaving families like mine facing the imminent threat of death. Your donation, no matter how small, can help secure their safe passage.

Please, help us reunite and find safety beyond Gaza's borders.

With gratitude,

Rania Fraij

Dear compassionate hearts, Your generosity will not merely be a donation; it will be a lifeline. We are not only numbers. We are mothers and children with so many dreams. and we are so afraid to lose each other.

In the midst of the ravages of war, I stand before you, the storyteller of a family that has weathered the storm with unwavering determination. Our journey, etched with the trials of displacement and loss, speaks not of despair but of the indomitable spirit that courses through our veins.

My name is Reem, a sister from Gaza, and I share our tale with you not as a plea for sympathy but as an invitation to witness the strength that emanates from the core of our existence. In the days before the relentless echoes of conflict, we revealed in the warmth of our beautiful home, raising families, nurturing dreams, and cherishing ambitions that spoke of a brighter tomorrow.

The beginning of our story. Life took an abrupt turn when both our parents left this world for a long time here in Gaza, leaving me and my sisters to survive life at a young age. Together, we navigated the complexities of life, fighting for education, embracing marriages, and fostering families that were testaments to our resilience.

We did it! and we were happy with our families. Then came the calamity after October 7th-23, a tempest that knew no mercy. Our homes, once symbols of security, fell victim to the relentless bombings. The nights became a symphony of fleeing from death, clutching our children tightly, and seeking refuge in the uncertain embrace of shelters.

Yet, within the ruins, hope persists. Our family's narrative is not one of defeat but of an unyielding determination to rebuild. We are not merely survivors; we are humans carving a path towards a future where dreams can flourish once more.

With gratitude,

Reem and Fatima from Gaza.
