Qtati Family Evacuation from Gaza

Support Dr. Nael Qtati's Family Evacuation from Gaza
Hello, my name is Dr. Nael Qtati. I'm reaching out to the global community in a plea for support to evacuate my family from the escalating conflict in Gaza. I am faced with an urgent crisis that threatens the lives of my loved ones.
A few years ago, I was honored with the Chevening Scholarship, a prestigious award that opens doors for emerging leaders across the globe to pursue master's degrees in the UK. This opportunity led me to the MSc program in Health Data Analytics & Machine Learning at Imperial College London. After completing my studies, I returned to Gaza, committed to applying my knowledge to improve the wellbeing of my community. I was able to evacuate after enduring months of Israeli bombardment and repeated evacuations, but not before I lost 2 cousins, and my dear friend and fellow Chevening Scholar who studied at King’s College London, Dr. Maissara Alrayyes.
However, the situation in Gaza has deteriorated rapidly. My family, who were assured safety upon their evacuation to Rafah in the South, now find themselves in the midst of relentless bombings. The promise of safety has been shattered, and the fear of a ground invasion looms over them.
My family is comprised of 25 people - eighteen children and seven adults, all hoping for a chance to escape the bombardment, for a chance at life. The members of my family include:
- My mother
- My brother Ahmed, his wife, and their three children,
- My sister Noor and her four children,
- My sister Hasnaa and her five children,
- My sister Amany, her husband, and their six children.
We are seeking £30,000 to cover the costs associated with crossing the border into Egypt, where safety awaits us. Every penny donated will directly fund the travel and legal expenses required for our safe passage.
Your donation can change the course of our lives. It can offer us a pathway to security, away from the relentless onslaught by the Israeli forces. As I champion the values of global health and peace that were instilled in me during my studies, I now call upon the global community to help us in our hour of need.
Please donate and share our story. Your generosity can lead us to safety and peace.
With profound gratitude,
Dr. Nael Qtati
