THE CAUSE: GAZA EMERGENCY RESPONSE APPEAL

A chronic humanitarian and protection crisis continues to affect Palestinian children and families. 2.1 million people - out of 5.3 million - need humanitarian assistance. In the Gaza Strip, the economy has stagnated due to a blockade imposed in 2007. Over 80% of the population depends on aid due to access restrictions and hostilities.

The impact of these restrictions is exacerbated by recurring flare-ups in violence and a severe energy crisis. Trapped in a downward cycle of poverty, unemployment and food insecurity, people have limited access to health care, safe water, and electricity.

You will be fundraising for essential delivery of critical emergency aid, life-saving sustenance, and urgent medical care to those in desperate need.

Your fundraising efforts will make a world of difference.

As you take on this incredible challenge, your fundraising will directly support those who need it most. Every penny you raise will help bring comfort, safety, and dignity to people enduring unimaginable hardship.
