Evacuate Abood (Abdul) Rahman Shreim and his family of 15 from Gaza and get them to safety!

The Shreim family includes Abdul Rahman, and his twin brother, Hamza, his parents, his older brother Ahmed, and his older sisters Iman, Noor, and Haneen. Also included are three of his sibling’s spouses and four of their children, ages 5 to a newborn. His sister Noor recently gave birth to a baby girl and has entered motherhood amidst these incredibly challenging circumstances.

The Shreim family are currently living in a crowded tent at the Rafah border in the Gaza strip. They are originally from the city of Al-Zahra, located in the Northern region of Gaza but their home was destroyed due to the bombings, forcing the family to flee South on foot.

The family’s tent in Rafah:

I had a very beautiful life as a software engineering student and we had a very good income but the war has wiped us out. After the war, I want to continue my studies in Turkey because my university was destroyed and I will have no future inside Gaza. – Abdul Rahman

The family has lost many close friends and relatives due to the Israeli occupation, and they have experienced more trauma and loss than most of us will encounter in a lifetime. One of Abdul Rahman’s closest friends was martryed in his arms leaving a devastating memory that he will never forget. Their sister-in-law’s niece, 5-month old, Joud Shomer, was found decomposing under the rubble of her family’s house, and Abdul Rahman’s grandmother also passed away due to lack of food and access to medical care. These are just a few of the many losses the family has experienced over the past 6 months, and they have been suffering immensely.

The cost to evacuate one person is approximately $5,500. With 15 family members, the total evacuation cost reaches $82,500. The situation is constantly changing on the ground in Gaza, and if evacuation becomes impossible, monies raised will also be allocated towards securing future housing, purchasing housewares and clothing, and covering medical care and food.

The Shreim family are left with no choice but to live in the incredibly dire and dangerous conditions of Rafah where the constant threat of heavy bombardment continues. Their situation deteriorates with each passing day, exacerbated by the minimal aid permitted to cross the Gaza border. As a result, essential items such as food and basic necessities, when they are available, are incredibly expensive. Life in Gaza has become completely unlivable, and the Shreim family needs help in order to survive.

Your generosity and support can facilitate their journey to safety and give them hope for the future. I urge you to join me in supporting the Shreim family by donating today. You can also help by sharing this fundraiser with your friends and family. May God reward you for your efforts!
