Fundraising to support Gaza’s children and families
The current situation in Gaza, for children and families, is disastrous. They need life-saving support.
From today we are launching our fundraising campaign to support the work of the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF).
UNICEF estimates that over 14,000 children have been killed, with many more injured. Many thousands of children are unaccompained and separated from their families. A recent UNICEF Child Food Poverty report highlights that;
“Months of hostilities in the Gaza Strip have brought the food and health systems to collapse and have had a catastrophic impact on children and families.”
The same report found that 9 in 10 children are living in severe food poverty – one of the highest percentages ever record.
Urgent fundraising for Palestine Children’s Relief Fund
Please donate what you can on our Just Giving PCRF Fundraising page. We know it can be tempting to ‘come back later’ to donate, but we would urge you to take a short moment of your time, now, to support the vital work of PCRF.
Their “Gaza Relief and Recovery” campaign aims to address urgent humanitarian needs and support long-term recovery efforts in Gaza. The funds raised will primarily focus on immediate relief, including providing essential medical supplies, food, medical treatment, clean water, and other necessities for families affected by the conflict.
The funds raised will also go towards long-term projects to support the needs of children and the health sector in Gaza. It will allocate resources towards trauma counseling, mental health support, and other initiatives for children affected by the conflict, aiming to foster healing and resilience within the community.
