Ansshabn

Anas Shaban is a community activist who works as a journalist and media professional for several media outlets. Half of his family was martyred, and he remains alone with the other half, struggling to protect their safety and well-being amidst the brutal genocide that Gaza is witnessing.

Let us stand by Anas Shaban and support him to ensure his safe exit from Gaza before it's too late.

This is a matter of life and death.

Restore hope for us in the Gaza Strip after we have been scattered in every direction

I won't keep you long. Here are the facts:

Anas Shaban is an electrical engineer and journalist from the Gaza Strip, holding a Master's degree in Business Administration.

Anas Shaban is a community activist and Palestinian writer with dozens of blogs and literary poems.

Anas lost half of his family as martyrs, including his father, sister, uncle, his sister's husband and their children, as well as his grandmother.

He and his family have been displaced 10 times in southern area of Gaza Strip.

They have survived multiple recent massacres in Deir AlBalah.

They live in a tent that feels like a "convection oven".

He can hear tank fire across the street.

Yesterday, I said farewell to my father, a martyr, and today we bid farewell to your father, also a martyr.

My father was a tailor, earning his livelihood by weaving fabrics and clothes, and your father was a driver navigating the alleys of the camp. But it is a war of extermination that spares no one. I will be your father, husband, and friend.

Please support us in the campaign so we can save the rest of my family who are suffering immensely from the war in Gaza.

I reach out to you with a profound plea for urgent assistance in aiding the evacuation of my beloved family from the harrowing conditions in Gaza to the safety and refuge of Egypt. The issue is life or death

The date October 7, 2023, marks a tragic turning point in our lives. Gaza was engulfed in a violent onslaught perpetrated by the Israeli occupation forces, leaving devastation in its wake. Our home, our livelihood we cherished—lay in ruins. My wife, our two children, and I escaped the bombardment and tanks that threatened our very existence. We departed hastily, leaving behind our possessions, our cherished memories, our sense of belonging, and everything we held dear.

My family (Father, Sister, Sister's children, her husband, and my Grandmother) were all killed as a result of this fierce war.

For 200 agonizing days, we sought refuge in Deir Al Balah in the Southern region of the Gaza Strip, only to be displaced once more by the relentless tides of conflict, this time to Rafah. However, we found no assistance in our surroundings. The shelter we found was a mere semblance of a home—lacking basic amenities, overrun by insects, and unfit for human habitation.

Now, seven months after the onset of this war, we find ourselves trapped in dire circumstances, struggling to endure each passing day in this bad environment. It is with a heavy heart that I turn to you, seeking your generous assistance in raising the necessary funds to facilitate our escape from this war-torn zone and secure a haven for my family.

To achieve this, we require a total of €19,059, which equal 222,001.14 SEK (Sweden) broken down as follows:

14,059 €: To cover the expenses of obtaining permits to leave Gaza and the associated crossing fees at Rafah, Egypt-Gaza border. This includes €9,373 for myself and my wife, and €4,686 for our two children.

5000€: To sustain our family's basic needs for two months in Egypt, including accommodation, food, clothes and other essentials.

Your support, whether through financial contributions or by spreading awareness of our plight, would provide us with the lifeline we so desperately need.
