There are over 600,000 children in Rafah. In total there are ~1.4 million people crammed into Rafah. They are currently trapped and unable to cross the border into Egypt due to Israel ramping up their bombing and beginning a ground invasion.
All the same, these families only hopes are raising money through Gofundme so that they still might get a chance to cross. Please, anything helps, if you can spare $5, $1, $0.50 literally all of it adds up and it does make a difference. Gofundme has a $5 minimum but many people have opened their venmo's and cashapp's, with accountability and receipts, in order to take smaller amounts.
predominantly the fundraising is happening through tiktok, a creator there named Erin Hattamer set up a program call Pass The Hat which helps sign other creators up to adopt a family, who has gone through a two a part vetting process. She is working in tandem with Project Olive Branch who has been helping families for months now. These programs work, I have seen dozens of families raise their goals to get out. Please considering donating, and if you cannot reblog this so someone who can might see it.
It costs upwards of $5000+ for a single adult to cross the border, I know that sounds like a lot especially with larger groups trying to escape, but it is doable with many small donations.

I'm also going to link one of the families I've donated to here, as they are still pretty far from their goal and could use a boost Dalia Masoud
