Help the Al-Najjar family survive

Donation protected
Hi everyone, I’m Lauren and I’m fundraising on behalf of the Al-Najjar family in Gaza. My friend, Ibrahim is only 23 and was a student at the University of Gaza, while living in Khan Yunis just over a year ago. He was in his fourth year of college for accounting when the war started, preventing him from being able to finish getting his degree. Ibrahim now lives in a tent with 9 members of his family: his mother and father, 3 sisters, 3 brothers and his sister's husband. Ibrahim provides for all of them. They have been displaced five times in the last year. When they were first besieged, they suffered greatly traveling by foot without food. One of his sisters suffered a leg injury during the first airstrike in Gaza, in which she thankfully recovered from, but still made things harder to cope with. Ibrahim and his young brother have also been injured in airstrikes and require treatment. Due to the lack of resources in Gaza, and the skyrocketing prices of those resources, adults and children are literally starving to death. Also, with winter approaching, Ibrahim needs supplies to strengthen his family's tent to protect from rain and weather.

The funds will go to providing food, medicine, and supplies for Ibrahim’s family in order for them to survive, and hopefully soon to allow them to travel outside of Gaza.
Thank you for your support!

(I have been in touch with Ibrahim for several months and will send him the funds directly. I've verified his identity through video calls and location tracking.)
