Help 3 sisters escape Gaza, and resettle
Donation protected
Your gift will help this family reach safety.
We are three daughters, our mother and our sick father, struggling with life here in the war.
On the 20th of October, we were subjected to the bombing of Al-Zahraa Towers above our heads. Suddenly, with a warning of only 20 minutes to evacuate, we were displaced to Rafah, where we lived with several families and we were more than 30 people in the same house. We suffer hunger, poverty and disease in this brutal war.

My father was working several jobs. He was shot by the occupier several years ago, which made him unable to work. He was no longer able to support us due to his inability to move easily. He also had a cartilage injury in his back, and needed an operation, but due to the lack of resources, he was unable to receive treatment. Medical reports are attached.
My mother used to work as a teacher in UNRWA schools, but due to the current circumstances, we lost our only source of livelihood, and here we are, suffering from everything, and we do not have anything to live normally, even if just a little.
And without expectation, today we are evacuating Rafah, leaving it into the unknown, not knowing our destination, moving along the paths of sadness, content with silence and crying, and forcing ourselves to coexist with a life that we would not wish on our enemy! But there is nothing in our body.
My little sister, Hala! She no longer speaks, she has lost her ability to express herself, fear possesses her and her life. She refrained from playing and having fun, she refrained from talking to us, and she ate her food after intense stress!
We have nothing in this life but each other. We would like to escape and get out of this deadly life. We would love for you to help me and my little family survive! We don't know where life will take us, we're just trying to survive.
We need the price of food, we have been eating processed foods for 6 months! The cost of food and drink every month is at least $900 due to the high cost of living.
Our cost for family travel: $10,000.
The travel cost for my parents is $10,000
The cost of making passports and papers: $1000
The cost of living in Egypt for at least 3 months until my mother gets a job again: $1000*3 = $3000
Site fees: $1000
