Help me to evacuate my family out of Gaza

My name is Dr. Youssef Ashour from Gaza - Khan Yunis (Palestine). I write this after much thought, hesitation, and extreme shame. But the urgency and need to save my family is too great for me to hold on. I urgently need your generous support to help me evacuate my

family (my parents, my four sisters and their children, and my doctor’s wife who is eight months pregnant) from Gaza. In the meantime, I will remain in Gaza to help my people.

I work at Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis, and have volunteered at various remaining hospitals since then in Khan Yunis and Rafah. I am committed to staying here and saving lives in Gaza, but now I have reached a point where I feel desperate and I urgently and humbly ask you to help me save my faymily's lives by getting them out of Gaza because nowhere is safe. It occurs in Gaza due to slow deaths due to hunger, drought, displacement, the spread of diseases, and constant bombing. Choosing to leave is an extremely painful decision, but the situation has become unbearable. Even my father was injured in the horrific bombing, but he is fine now.

We are now homeless like many others due to the ongoing bombing of Gaza since October 7th. My family has been displaced three times, and we are now in the south of the Gaza Strip in the city of Rafah on the border with Egypt.

We are now staying in a tent somewhere in Rafah in completely inhumane conditions, where the food has run out, there is no electricity, no water, no toilet, the weather is cold and rainy, there is bombing and terror, and we are waiting for death at every moment. .

We enter the fourth month of hell, terror and fear. This genocide has gone on for too long, and our mental health and lives are in constant danger. We truly cannot take any more (I cannot describe enough what I have been dealing with every day in the hospitals for the past 92 days. We have reached a point where there is no longer any hope for us here in Gaza, and we are sadly waiting for our turn to die. .) Even if a ceasefire is established, it will not be possible to quickly repair the damage in Gaza.

To cross the “Rafah” border between Gaza and Egypt, you need to put your name on the crossing list (paid permit) and coordinators in Egypt who have the ability to add my family names to the list at the border are now asking for a starting amount of 5,000 per person! They will not add names until we can prove the funds are ready.

Please help me get them out, I would sincerely appreciate any donation, even if small that would make a huge difference in alleviating our suffering. Please consider sharing my campaign widely with your family and friends to reach my goal as soon as possible because every second is a risk of death in Ga.za. I will be forever grateful for your kind assistance in this difficult time.

We hope to raise $58,000. The proceeds from this fundraiser will go to an account I manage. Distributed as follows:

$50,000 for a Rafah crossing permit for the entire family.

$2000 travel and transportation fees from Gaza to Egypt

US$5,000 will be allocated to rent a shelter/house in Egypt, resettlement, purchase of clothes, urgent healthcare, and other humanitarian needs for a few months up to one year.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for standing with us in solidarity and making a positive impact on the lives of those who have lost their lives.

Update

After my family lost everything in Gaza, every single house is totally destroyed by de bombardement, we took the decision that we will take everybody out of Gaza, even Dr. Youssef Ashour, after hours of talking with Dr. Youssef to try to convince him to leave with his pregnant wife, because we find that he has to take care about his wife in Egypte, he took also the discission to leave.

By our first target we counted only for the womans in our family and kids and by a fee of 5.000 euro/person. But the last couple days we have contact in Egypte with the office who fix the list for the people that want to leave we get other prices.

7.000 euro for an adult

5.000 euro for a kid above 5 years

2.500 euro for a kid under 5 years

So this mean that we need 126.500 euro

Counting as following:

My parents: 2 x 7.000 euro = 14.000 euro

Youssef and his pregnant wife: 2 x 7.000 euro = 14.000 euro

Family sister Fida with newborn baby Zayn: 2 x 7.000 euro = 14.000 euro 2 x 5.000 euro = 10.000 euro + 1 x 2.500 euro = 2.500 euro  Totally: 26.500 euro

Family sister Wafaa: 2 x 7.000 = 14.000 euro 3 x 5.000 = 15.000 euro 1 x 2.500 euro = 2.500 euro  Totally: 31.500 euro

Family sister Neda: 2 x 7.000 = 14.000 euro 2 x 5.000 = 10.000 euro 1 x 2.500 euro = 2.500 euro  Totally: 26.500 euro

Family sister Ella: 2 x 7.000 euro = 14.000 euro
