The past year of life in Palestine has been marked by devastation. Decades of economic, medical, and educational progress have been undone as important infrastructure has been destroyed. Thousands of people have lost their lives due to indiscriminate bombings and 85% of the remaining population are internally displaced and living in makeshift shelters. Anera recognizes the major losses of home, family, and peace of mind, and we remain committed to providing humanitarian aid to those in need. Through your generous support, Anera is able to make contributions in emergency healthcare, shelter supplies, and nutrition that can help the people of Gaza find a semblance of hope in the midst of their struggles.
Anera has made it a priority to treat both the mental and physical traumas of the current reality. Our team in Gaza recently completed upgrades to our field clinics that provide wound management and treatment for noncommunicable diseases, education on vaccinations that can assist in the prevention of polio, and psychosocial counseling. Anera has transported thousands of blankets, tents, and mattresses into Gaza for shelters. Through our tekias (community kitchens), Anera has distributed over 40,000,000 meals since last October. Our team has supplied fresh produce and food parcels for families in order to combat rising rates of malnutrition. As winter approaches, our Gaza team is preparing to send additional resources such as warm clothing and waterproof tarps to fight against the anticipated flooding and frigid temperatures.
With your donations, we send a direct message of hope to the people of Gaza. By providing immediate assistance to those in need, Anera aims to preserve not only a chance at survival, but a future where Gaza can truly flourish.
