Help Aya and her family evacuate Gaza war zone

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Aya I'm reaching out to you from the heart of Rafah, where everyday feels like a battle for survival. But amidst the chaos and despair, there's glimmer of hope_a chance for my family to escape this relentless nightmare. I write this story after much thought, But the urgency and need to save my family is too great for me to hold on. We seek support amidst the lack of safety, and I find myself compelled to reach out, I urgently need your generous support to help me evacuate my family.

Our ordeal started on October 7, when we were forced to leave our warm home and move to our grandmother's house.
On October 13, we forced again to move to the southern Gaza under the bombing, killing and destroying.

We lived a horrible life in our old house in KhanYounis as the bombing didn't stop. And our old home was destroyed later.
Then we moved to Rafah the last city in Gaza Strip, we lived in a plastic tent of nylon, suffering from sickness, freezing from cold, struggling from the mud when it rains and the sound of bombings that doesn't stop.
The cooking in the tent is very hard process, before the war the cooking was the most favorite activity for me, our kitchen is very beautiful and contains every tools that I need, I can't express how much I miss our gas stove, I hate the firewood, it's very difficult way and cause diseases.

And now I ask what's next?

Before the war, our life was different I was working as an intern dentist in a beautiful dental center, I completed the internship courses but I didn't get the license because every thing stopped and the HQ of Ministry of Health was destroyed.
Have you stopped? Of course not, I have been able to obtain a dental license during the war, and I volunteer for the treatment of displaced children in tents.


My mother Manal was working as a teacher, but because of the war, most schools were destroyed, and the students were deployed in tents without teaching, and my mother has become without work.
But she is very enthusiastic to return again as a teacher, she misses for students and classes, she likes to go back soon here or elsewhere.

My brother Osama was working as a digital marketing specialist for several companies around the world. He is a talented online employee, but for 7 months, he can't work. There is no power, no internet, and can't find the environment for his work.
He wishes to find a new place to establish his beautiful office again and arrange his technological tools and return to work.


My younger brother Ahmed is a student at the university, but his university has been destroyed, and it is difficult to go back soon. he hopes to move to a new university in a safe place to complete his education.

Now I ask what is next?
Staying here means death at any moment.
Survival means departure to Egypt temporarily, but this method is very difficult and very expensive.

The coordination fees through the Rafah crossing are $ 5,000 per person, and we almost spent our money during these seven months.
Your support only can make a difference in maintaining our lives.
we need the following amounts:

  • 25,000$: Coordination fees for 5 persons
Aya "me", Nabil "father", Manal "mother", Osama "brother", Ahmed"brother"
  • 10,000$: Rent and living costs in Egypt for several months
  • 7,000$: funds transfer and gofundme fees

Note: The amount has been converted from USD to Euro, given the location of the campaign. Therefore, the total amount in Euro is: 40,000.
