Luxor flash flood relief - the Eastgate neighborhood
After the flash flood, families in the Eastgate neighborhood need clean water, roofing materials and bedding.
🇪🇬 Luxor, Luxor, Egypt857 views
The flash flood hit the Eastgate neighborhood on 16 July. My home was one of 29 damaged, and 8 families are still in temporary shelter at the sports club.
The first few days we shared what little we had. Now the cleanup has started, but we've no money for materials and winter or the rainy season is coming.
Schools in the area have been closed, and the clinic lost its cold storage for vaccines. We're a small community of working families who have never asked for help before.
We have formed a volunteer committee, and I'm the treasurer, so I'll post receipts for everything we buy.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $900 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $290
• Clean water and purification supplies: $85
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $120
• Food parcels for displaced families: $100
• Tools and labor for repairs: $305
Thank you for reading my story.

Best of luck. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Luxor
You're not alone, Ghada. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best!
wishing you the best. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Don't give up. Thinking of Luxor.
Hope it all works out. Hope you get there. Thinking of Luxor.
Keep going, Ghada. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
Hope things get better soon, Ghada. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 12 people at work. Take care.
wishing you the best. More neighborhoods should do this. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings
