Gaza Emergency Appeal

by Rebuilding Alliance

Summary

Families in Gaza need your help. Innocent people are caught in the middle of massive bombing in retaliation for a deadly attack against Israel's cities. So far 123,000 Palestinians have taken refuge in UN schools. Massive bombing by the Israeli Army is destroying neighborhoods, mosques, even crowded markets. Soon there will be no food. Rebuilding Alliance and our Palestinian Non-Gov Org partners asks your help right now to buy food & hygiene supplies locally for families who are in extreme need.

Challenge

In response to a massive attack on Israel on October 7th, the Israeli Gov. declared a 'state of war'. The Israeli Army ordered mass evacuation of Gaza neighborhoods, cut electricity and water. UNOCHA: 123,538 Palestinians are displaced in the Gaza Strip. On Oct. 9th, the Israel's Minister of Defense extended the siege, ordering, "There will be no food, no fuel, everything is closed." Intense bombing is underway. A Gazan's Reminder: "We are NOT Hamas, we are just ordinary people trying to live."

Solution

Our Palestinian Non-Governmental Partners together with dozens of volunteers, will provide emergency food, water, blankets, hygiene supplies, and solar lights to the thousands of families in Gaza now taking refuge in private homes and UNRWA schools. Rebuilding Alliance learned how to provide immediate aid during the 51 days of bombing in 2014 - that was 1000 bombs a day. We provided emergency aid again in May 2021 and May 2022. Please help get supplies to families, now when needed most.

Long-Term Impact

Your support will open a lifeline to a family who is in survival mode. This relief can be a lifesaver, especially for children, parents, the disabled, and the elderly. They need help and they need to know that someone cares. Our Palestinian NGO partners can begin to address their other needs once they make contact. May the world hear these families' voices and stop bombing, assure civilian safety, protect human rights, and end apartheid, occupation, and siege to build a just and lasting peace.
