I am Rea'af from northern Gaza. I, along with my family of 15 members, are going through extremely unbearable living conditions right now. My mother, who suffers from lymphoma, and my two brothers, the eldest of whom is Karam, who is 27 years old, married and has an infant, lost his business during the ongoing aggression. My sister, who is married with 3 children, lost her house due to the Israeli bombardment. My brother Muhammad, who is 22 years old, suffers from epilepsy. My brothers, Mahmoud, Abdul Karim, and Hamsa, who were born in the 2000s, live in a turbulent psychological state full of fear, anxiety, and insecurity. We all lack safety and feel death getting closer with every passing moment.

I am facilitating this fundraiser for Rea'af who is trapped in the north of Gaza with her family. Their home as well as their fruit and vegetable shop were destroyed by bombs, leaving them homeless and without a means of income to afford food or evacuation. They are eating tree leaves and drinking contaminated water right now just to survive. They don't have safe or adequate shelter. Rea'af and her parents and five siblings urgently need your help - any amount at all that you can spare. It costs around $5kUSD/person to evacuate into Egypt and more for food, water, safe shelter and transport, and other essentials. I will be sending all funds to Rea'af as they come in.
