Fundraising for displaced Children in Gaza

Dear friends and compassionate supporters,

My name is Alex, I am a Romanian citizen and I am living and working in Spain with my family.

Today I am reaching out to you with a heartfelt plea to join me in making a difference in the lives of innocent children & people affected by the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

As we all know, the war has brought immense suffering to the people of Gaza, and it is the children who are most vulnerable and in desperate need of our help. They should not be casualties of this conflict, but rather be given a chance to survive and thrive.

The situation in Gaza is dire and the need for aid is immense. People are facing hunger, disease, and a lack of basic necessities. Despite our efforts to distribute aid, it is not enough to meet the overwhelming demand. Families are suffering from cold, hunger, and the devastating loss of loved ones. In this critical time, our primary objective is to keep them alive by providing access to water, food, and safety. These resources are incredibly scarce, making the situation even more challenging. Your support and generosity can make a lifesaving difference for those in Gaza who are enduring unimaginable hardships.

I am connected to the Palestine Ethar Society non-profit organization, a dedicated group of individuals on the ground in Rafah area in Gaza, led by Dr. Mounir Shaqoura, who are working tirelessly to provide basic necessities to these children. They are committed to ensuring that every child has access to milk, water, and food, even amidst the chaos and destruction.

Palestine Ethar Society for Community Development was established in 2020 with license No. 1218 from the Palestinian Ministry of Interior as a non-profit civil association operating in Palestine - Gaza Strip - Khan Yunis Governorate with the aim of providing community services to all groups of Palestinian society (women - youth - children) in order to achieve their hopes and aspirations, through proper planning and wise implementation of community programs and activities in cooperation with local and international institutions to achieve effective participation through which it is possible to face societal challenges and advance the Palestinian society. Now the organisation is helping all this childrens to survive and meet their most basic needs.

The following below are some of the photos from the years before the war of what the associacion was doing:

The cause of helping these children is of utmost importance to me, and I believe that together, we can make a significant impact. By donating to this fundraising campaign, you will contribute directly to the efforts of Etharp organisation on the ground, enabling them to continue their critical work on the ground and provide the necessary support to these young souls.

Dr. Mounir and his team has done a great job so far despite the difficulties of the war and I am in close contact with him and his team, giving me updates daily. See below some of the recent aid we managed to send over there over the past few weeks:

Providing potable water to displaced people in Rafah area - 18.02.2024

Providing vegetables to displaced people in Rafah area - 22.02.2024

This is from 27.02.2024 from our last aid helping children to get milk and diapers.

The money we raise will go exclusively to buy clothes, blankets, vegetables, tents, water, diapers, milk and bread.

Some goods that will be bought locally include vegetables and potable water that comes from the desalinisation plants near the mediterannean that use diesel to extract potable water. The diesel is extremely expensive (up to 30$ per liter). Some goods come from Egypt (like milk or diapers) but are also very expensive because they come in limited quantity.

I am committed to post regular updates on the aids as Dr. Mounir is sending us the progress and deliveries they are making. I am also more than happy to provide any proof needed to support the money flow to Gaza. For any questions don't hesitate to contact me.

Let us come together as a community and show our solidarity with the children of Gaza. Your support, no matter how big or small, will be deeply appreciated and will make a tangible difference in their lives.

Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and for standing with us as we strive to make a positive impact in the lives of these children.

With gratitude,

Alex
