 Hi to all humans in the world- My name is Yousef Younis from Gaza City.

I am a 43 years old Bachelor of Accounting and have been working in the field of Woman’s Advocacy in Gaza Society.

 Meet my family- My wife Safa 37 and our four sons - Falah -17 Salah -16 Muhammad- 14 Ahmed - 6 years old.

       Happy family before the war .

After our beautiful home was bombed and

destroyed we had to leave Gaza City and found a shelter in Deir al-Balah, which was bombed also, so we had to evacuate to the city of Rafah. A few days ago, after the Rafah invasion we had to return back to Deir al-Balah.

 The ruins of our beloved home and our current conditions.

We are exhausted from having to run all the time for our lives. We are scared. We are unwell. Myself I have a heart disease, but my main concern is to get my family out of Gaza to Egypt for a medical treatment and for a break from the war until we can safely return back to our homeland, without being hunted every minute.

 I’m begging you, please donate and share our fundraiser, every little help will make a huge difference in our situation!

 Sending prayers and good wishes to everyone, may God bless you all !

 Note from the team fundraiser: The funds will be used to support both families for their every day needs as : food, water, living essentials and expenses and also for paying the costs for their evacuation through the Rafah crossing to Egypt.

 The evacuation is happening through the Egyptian travel agency “Hala”, which will organise the visas and the transport from Rafah to Cairo.

 The costs for the evacuation are: $5000 per asult $2,500 per child This means 13 adults = $65000 ( children above 16 years old are considered adults by the law there)

 3children = $7500

 Food, water, essentials, travel between Deir al-Balah and Rafah, living expenses and also paying for accommodation and living costs for the first few months in Egypt $15000per family = total$30000 for both families.

 The total amount of funds that are needed for achieving our goals and a safe live is $ 102500

 We need you, people, we desperately need your help and support to save Jaber and Younis Families lives!

Please, please- make a room in your heart for them!

        ———— Jaber family’s story——————-

My name is Iyad Jaber 56 years old, My wife Nehad 55 years old, I have 2 children's Sondos 30 years old, married with Mohammed 7 years and having one very smart child called Adam 5 years old, and my son MuhammadHashim 24 years old and he is newly married with Ruba10 months ago. We were live together in a very big house in the same place called Altwam as a connections of Jaballia area northern part of Gaza.

 I was one of the dedicated staff nurses in the surgical team at Al-Shifa Hospital, located in the heart of the Gaza Strip, where I served for nearly ten years. After that, I transitioned to Kamal Odwan Hospital in the northern part of Gaza, where I spent almost seven years. I had the privilege of being one of the founders of this hospital, serving as the director of the operations department and a key member of the administrative nursing staff. Later, I continued my work at the Indonesian Hospital in the far north of Gaza.

        

 Before the recent devastating events, out of extreme fear for our safety, my entire family and I were forced to flee our home about eight months ago. We initially sought refuge in Deir al-Balah for a short period, but it was not safe enough for us. After a week, we had to move again, this time to the outskirts of Rafah near the southern border of Gaza, where we stayed for about seven months. Just a week ago, we had to relocate once more, this time to a rural area called Al-Zawayda. This area lacks public facilities, hospitals, and primary care, leaving us in a very precarious situation.

 My wife Nehad is struggling with several serious health issues: hypertension, cardiac troubles, diabetes mellitus, stomach acidity, and edema of the lower limbs due to prolonged standing while caring for our family. Her psychological state has deteriorated significantly due to the drastic change in our living conditions. Her health is unstable, and she desperately needs immediate medical care, psychological support, and ongoing treatment. Before these traumatic events, she was the principal of an elementary school under the United Nations Relief and Works Agency. The constant displacement to undesirable locations has taken a heavy toll on her, causing bouts of nervous tension and deep feelings of frustration, especially after learning that our house was destroyed and burned amidst the current turmoil. She was already heartbroken from the complete destruction of our previous home during the events of 2014.

Our house before and after it has been destroyed.

 We are now desperately trying to leave Gaza and move to Egypt to rebuild our lives and find some semblance of stability and peace for our family.
