Thousands of readers globally have engaged with the Gaza Monologues texts and now these authors need us more than ever! The authors of the Gaza Monologues and their families are in urgent need of our support. Following some successful evacuations and support actions, we must continue acting without delay. ASHTAR Theatre is launching this campaign to channel support to the Gaza Monologues authors and their families depending on what's needed, possible and safe.
Since October 8th 2023, 42,010+ Palestinians in Gaza have been killed by Israel (OCHA). More than ~97,720 reported injured. OUr Gaza Monologues' authors are lucky to have survived until now, some of them tirelessly working with children offering them psycho-social release through drama. Their lives, however, at any point in time can be ended. ASHTAR Theatre is lauching this campaign to support them in their preferred next steps seeking safety.
Although the border with Egypt is blockaded, an evacuation of an adult evacuee costs $5,000 and takes up to 4 weeks to evacuate out of Gaza and $2,500 for a child below the age of 16. Our Gaza-based Gaza Monologues authors need funds to either evacuate to Egypt and elsewhere, sustain themselves there, remain in Gaza being sufficiently supported and/or help support their families based on in-depth surveys conducted amongts the authors to be closely informed regarding the ever-changing needs.
This is possible only with your belief not only in the power of your individual contribution but also in the power of our global community! Consider making a singular or monthly donation as well as spreading the word about this campaign. Long-term we will be able to systematically support our authors in these most dire times.
