The funds will also help with funeral arrangements and repatriation to Lebanon.
In the GoFundMe, the organiser says: “In a single moment, an entire household was lost at sea, leaving behind two surviving young children who suddenly find themselves without their loving parents.”
"This initiative is an independent, community-driven effort.
"When an unimaginable tragedy strikes our community, we do not wait for grieving families to ask for help, our duty is to step forward and ask: 'What can we do to support them?'
"We cannot undo this loss, but together we can let them know: We are here, we are with you, and you are not alone."
According to the post, the funds will go directly to the Al-Khawas family account, represented by on of the members who will manage the allocations for the family's welfare, the care of the surviving children, and all related arrangements.
Organisers say every single pound is dedicated to alleviating the financial burden and securing the children's future.
