For those who don't know, Rafah Crossing is closed. Meaning Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are technically not allowed to go into Egypt through Rafah Crossing (with exceptions, like holding a foreign passport) so in order to evacuate, Palestinians need to bribe Egyptian border security officials. The standard price used to be about $5000 - 7000 per person but some Palestinians have been told to pay $10,000 per person just to cross the border, forget other expenses like food and boarding.
For a group of people who are enduring genocide and the complete destruction of their homes that money is impossible to raise without the help of fundraising. That and the collapse of the UNRWA is the reason you're seeing so many Gofundmes nowadays. The entire aid system is gone with the exception of local aid organisations that have limited reach.
So if you see a credible fundraiser, please at the very least share it so it can reach more people. This list by @el-shab-hussein is a good place to start.

Unknown (2024) visual analysis (ep. 9): Life comes down to a few things
I adore how this show layers meaning through its visuals.
I was wondering when we'd get a cross doorway shot with all those scenes in previous episodes showing Yuan and Qian walking back-and-forth across the hall to each other's rooms, and of course it happens when Yuan tells Qian:
"Life comes down to a few things. Where you come from, where you linger, what you want, what's left."
We know that the show loves using how it frames the characters in their rooms to represent the ebb and flow of their relationship. Here, the doorways to their rooms act as frames within frames, visually directing our attention to what matters in the conversation: them. Qian is all those things Yuan lists off so it's fitting that the doorway frames him as the main subject--he is our focus as much as Yuan's.
And despite Qian's hesitation and their physical distance across the hall--the depth enhanced by these frames within frames-- Qian is also looking directly at Yuan through the door.
They are each other's family (where they come from), home (where they linger), desire (what they want), and all they can rely on (what's left).
And because of this, it's so fitting that the fight with Le doesn't end with a shot of Qian once again carrying Yuan, but instead clinging to him. They're holding up the world together, fighting against the dark that surrounds them.
