Help My Family Escape the War in Gaza

Donation protected
Hello everyone,

I am reaching out to you with an urgent plea to help my uncle Abd El Karim Zendah and his family, who are currently living in Gaza. The ongoing Israeli war on the Palestinian people in Gaza has left them in a desperate situation, struggling with poverty and minimal access to essential resources like food, water, electricity, and especially medication.

My uncle Abd El Karim, his wife Iman, and their two young children, Saber and Karam, are facing unimaginable hardships. The war has severely impacted their lives, making it difficult to access basic necessities. The constant bombings and the dangerous environment have forced Saber and Karam to stop their education, adding to the distress of this innocent family.

Health and Financial Struggles

My uncle suffers from multiple diseases that require expensive medications, which are now nearly impossible to obtain due to the dire conditions in Gaza. His only source of income was working as a taxi driver, but with the war causing skyrocketing fuel prices and making it too dangerous to work, he can no longer provide for his family.


I am organizing this campaign to raise funds to help my uncle's family evacuate from the Gaza Strip and escape this war. The funds will be used for:

Evacuation Fees: Covering the costs imposed by the Egyptian travel agency Hala for Gazans who wish to leave the Gaza Strip.
Medication: Ensuring my uncle receives the necessary medication to manage his health conditions.
Living Expenses: Supporting the family with basic necessities both in Gaza and once they are able to evacuate.
Education: Helping Saber and Karam resume their education in a safer environment.

Any amount you can contribute will make a significant difference in their lives. Your donation will not only provide immediate relief but also offer hope for a safer and more stable future.

Please consider donating and sharing this campaign with your network. Together, we can help my uncle's family escape the horrors of war and find peace and stability.

Thank you for your compassion and generosity.

Sincerely,
Mahmoud Shaheen
