Dear HOPE Friends,
HOPE USA has been collaborating with Red Crescent - a highly reputable charity - to aid in the humanitarian crisis plaguing Palestine today. Due to strict restrictions within the region, we are not able to send our own teams to distribute food and provide medical aid and shelter to victims; the next best solution is to work with an organization which has been the leading provider of emergency medical services by operating five hospitals and engaging in at-site first aid services.
The International Federation of Red Crescent's president has vouched for the reputability of Red Crescent, “I am deeply concerned about the humanitarian situation in Palestine: too many overlapping crises are pushing local communities to their limits. I am always impressed by the critical work done by the Palestine Red Crescent teams: from the emergency medical services to social and inclusion activities, they are a key humanitarian actor. I was particularly inspired by the visit to their centres for children with disabilities both in Gaza Strip and West Bank. These centres embody the real meaning of humanity: without PRCS these children would be left behind. The world has a moral duty to strengthen humanitarian support in Palestine and invest in local actors like the Palestine Red Crescent.”
At HOPE we are committed to maintaining the trust of our donors. Our first ever international mission has been in Palestine. We are proud to be able to provide a helping hand in bettering the lives of Palestinian victims, and especially children. Due to the sensitive nature of the crisis, unfortunately we are not able to provide photographs depicting our work in Palestine. Rest assured, however, your donations have come to great use during this volatile time. You are directly impacting the medical aid, food, and shelter that is reaching victims on a daily basis. Thank you for your constant dedication towards this deserving cause.
Best regards,
Ambereen Siddiqui
