Help Evacuate Injured Gaza Children

Help Evacuate Injured Children and Women from Gaza

We have been coordinating with an organization that is working tirelessly to evacuate injured children and women from Gaza so they can receive the urgent medical treatment they desperately need. Earlier this year, we helped support a family that escaped Gaza and resettled in Washington, D.C. We’re thrilled to report that the family is doing well and their children are adjusting beautifully in school.

The Urgent Need for Evacuations

As you can imagine, the need is dire. Right now, two injured young people urgently require evacuation to receive medical treatment in Egypt:

Muhammad, a 12-year-old boy with shrapnel embedded in his body from airstrikes that hit his home.
Aya, a 22-year-old woman who suffered burns over 37% of her body. The clothes she was wearing are still burned to her flesh.

Both Muhammad and Aya lost their parents in the airstrikes.

Another heartbreaking case is a 49-year-old woman with cancer who has been unable to receive any treatment.

Who is Helping and What’s Needed?

A small, determined team of Americans and Palestinians with decades of experience in Gaza has been working tirelessly to evacuate the injured to safety in Egypt. However, this life-saving work is expensive, covering:

Evacuation costs
Medical care
Living expenses in Cairo

The group is trying to raise $20,000 to continue evacuations. We can verify that their requests are legitimate and that all funds go directly toward evacuating and providing care for the injured.

Lives This Group Has Already Saved

This team has successfully evacuated nearly 50 people so far, including:

Six Journalists and their families who were being routinely targeted.
Human rights defenders in dire need of medical care, including a lawyer who may have died from sepsis if his evacuation had been delayed by even one day.
An injured nurse (Imad) who was stranded in a hospital in Khan Younis after an invasion. He received no treatment for weeks until the group got him to Cairo.
A pregnant mother in need of prenatal care.
An elderly grandmother who ran out of medication and was growing dangerously ill.
A doctor who had been separated from his Ukranian wife and children. His family fled early in the war, but he remained trapped in Gaza.
