Help to escape Gaza

Almost there!

We have managed to get two of our friends - longtime human rights defenders - out of Gaza. They are now safely in Cairo and receiving medical treatment, thanks to all of your contributions. we honestly think that everyone who has donated has helped to save their lives.

But they have been separated from their two immediate family members who are still stuck inside Gaza. We have word that they might be permitted to cross through Rafah this weekend.

One has cancer and urgently needs to reach Egypt to receive chemotherapy treatment, the other is elderly and - as you can imagine - is suffering in the unbearable conditions in Gaza.

We only need about £3,000 more to secure their exit and cover the initial medical costs upon arrival in Cairo.

This is the final stretch!

Anything you can contribute will help immensely.

Thank you so much in advance!

Hi,

We’re raising money to help friends and former colleagues leave Gaza. As you know, the situation is unbearable.

Exit out of Gaza is exceptionally difficult but there is an organisation in Egypt facilitating exit for people who can pay, and this is what we are hoping to do. The cost fluctuates, but for our four friends will be between $23,000 and $32,000. We are very nearly there.

Anything helps.

We’ve know our friends since 2008, when we both worked in Gaza. Two of our friends are incredible human rights defenders, and the other two are their immediate relatives. One needs urgent medical care.

In parallel we are trying diplomatic channels, if these work out first we will return all donations.

Please set GofundMe donation to zero - otherwise they take a big cut
