The crisis in Gaza has led to over 46,000 deaths, mass displacement, and severe trauma for the entire population. Our emergency efforts focus on providing critical aid, including:

  • Food parcels, hot meals, and clean water.
  • Hygiene kits, winter kits, and firewood distribution.
  • Mobile clinics and maternity health care, including medical supplies, antibiotics, and baby milk.
  • Prosthetic limbs for those injured.
  • Support for makeshift schools, orphan sponsorship, and an orphanage.
  • Solid waste management, rubble clearing, and hospital support through air and ground transport.

These efforts aim to deliver vital assistance and rebuild lives. Your support by participating in our challenges can make all the difference. Don't just dream it, do it for Gaza.
