Najlaa is at $535/700 needed to move to a new plot of land. Can we help her knock out this last $165 so we can send her the first batch of money? This is an urgent need, the family is at risk from the sea tides.

NAJLAA AND HER THREE CHILDREN LIVE IN A DISPLACEMENT CAMP IN GAZA, IN A TENT ON THE BEACH VERY CLOSE TO THE WATER. AS WINTER APPROACHES, NAJLAA DESPERATELY NEEDS TO FIND A SAFER AREA TO LIVE, AS THE OCEAN WAVES THREATEN TO FLOOD THEIR TENT.

IN NAJLAA'S OWN WORDS:

"My children and I are threatened by the danger of waves, the sea, and winter. I work day and night to build a sand wall around the tent, but unfortunately the sand quickly collapses and erodes after the waves hit it strongly. I am worried about my children, and I stay awake all night for fear that the waves will enter the tent and destroy it."

Najlaa needs funds for:

Transportation to a new location

Rental fees for beach plot

New tent

Winter clothes/supplies

~$213/700. Please help Najla move to a spot safe from the sea tides. The weather is changing and they urgently need to move. The south is PACKED with displaced people, so time is of the essence. 🙏🏻

@najla1991.bsky.social is stalled at ~$143/700. Safer plots of land become harder to find each day, as the displaced continue to fill the south. Please help Najla and her children while there is still time! They can't continue to dig trenches around the tent all winter. 💔
