Help provide vital humanitarian assistance and protection to civilians in Gaza
Help provide vital humanitarian assistance and protection to civilians in Gaza
The scenes unfolding in Gaza are nothing short of harrowing.
The human cost of this tragedy is enormous, with thousands of lives lost and over 1.7 million people have been forcibly displaced.
Please give today to help our local partner provide lifesaving medical care and to help respond to this unprecedented humanitarian crisis.
Over the past two months, hospitals, clinics and churches have been attacked. At least 60% of housing in the Gaza Strip has now been destroyed or is uninhabitable.
We continue to stand with our long-term partners, the Near East Council of Churches and Department of Service to Palestinian Refugees, who, despite their own individual losses are working tirelessly to provide vital humanitarian assistance and protection to the civilians of Gaza.
Their initial response includes providing hygiene kits and cash assistance, allowing families who have lost everything to buy urgently needed food, water, and winter clothing. They are also working with a local hospital to provide essential healthcare services and medicine, as well as provide crucial mental health support to children.
“The world can’t relax while people are dying every minute. Every minute. Every 10 minutes there is a child killed in Gaza.”
“I want to express my gratitude to you and all our supporters. Your care, concern, and generosity are not just bringing back hope but are making a real difference in the lives of those affected by this crisis. Your solidarity reflects shared values of justice, compassion, and the fundamental right to live with dignity.”
Nader, Executive Secretary, Department of Services to Palestinian Refugees (DSPR)
