Help me and my family get out of the Gaza Strip

Donation protected

Hello, my name is Ahmed and I am raising money to evacuate 9 members of my family (myself, my wife, my parents, my brother and my 4 children, aged 7 - 14) from Gaza.


Before October 7, Gaza was beautiful, despite the siege. Housing, water, food, welfare, education and treatment were available. I had my own business, working in a large sports club, and my children used to exercise with me daily. After October 7, we lost electricity when our power source was destroyed. We quickly began our search for safety but there is nowhere safe in the Gaza Strip as everything has been destroyed. The video you see above is footage of when our home was destroyed.


We have been without access to water due to the destruction of the water wells and what water we can access only reaches our area every two weeks for only two hours. We must walk long distances to fetch even one gallon. We have also started looking for a way to scrape together some money and food sustain ourselves, even just a loaf or whatever flour is available, but because of the lack of basic supplies we have struggled to obtain even a small amount of firewood to cook food or heat water for bathing. Now we have been forced to search for shelter due to the shelling that affected our house. We have been displaced more than once from schools to hospitals.


I created this campaign to bring my family members to safety outside the Gaza Strip. The psychological effect on my family and my children is very bad due to the state of terror that we live in every day and every hour because danger is everywhere. Our plan is to escape Rafah through Egypt, then travel to somewhere safe in Europe, but passage across the boarder and beyond is very expensive.


Please give what you can to help me, my family and my children reach safety. Thank you.
