Support for Maryam and her Family to Evacuate from Gaza

Donation protected
Maryam is a 5 year old girl from Gaza. She has been displaced for many months in Rafah with her family, living in a tent in crowded, unsafe, and unsanitary conditions. There is not enough food, clean water, or adequate health care. Bombs are going off every day. No where is safe in Gaza, especially Rafah.

Maryam's health is of serious concern. She suffers from a rare skin condition called Panniculitis with dermal and subcutaneous necrosis. The condition covers her entire body from head to toe. She is in pain and discomfort at all times. Maryam needs urgent care and she is unable to receive that in Gaza due to the genocide. Unfortunately, Maryam currently does not qualify for emergency evacuation. Her case needs to be life threatening for her to be approved to leave. Instead, she is forced to live day by day, minute by minute in continuous pain. Her skin bleeds. Her body hurts more with movement.



Maryam's family consists of her father, Muhammad, her mother, Doaa, her older sisters, Kifah, age 15, and Hala, age 14, and her older brother, Hamza, age 8.




We are hoping to evacuate the whole family, starting with Maryam so she can receive the medical care she deserves as a child and as a basic human right.

Thank you for your support.
