FRIENDS IN GAZA

Help evacuate students from Gaza to Ireland: Over the last two years, a small team of people around the world has been in contact with several friends in Gaza. The members at FIG can attest that these students, Hashem, Taha, Abdalla, Adel, and Aya, are kind, thoughtful, and committed to caring for others through medicine. Over the last few months, we have been working with the University of Limerick on evacuation processes to help our friends continue their studies in Ireland. Three of them, Hashem, Taha, and Abdalla, were accepted and offered academic placement for the Medicine programs. The obstacle is that we did not have enough funds to complete all the application processes, such as paying the UL offer acceptance fee, medical insurance, or accommodations. For the visa, we would also have to show proof of funds for over six months and for subsequent years. With your help, we can get our friends to Ireland.
