Food and financial support to children in Gaza
Donation protected
My name is Bassam Hussein. Although I am currently based in Norway, my family remains in Gaza. I have initiated this fundraising campaign to gather and send vital aid to support the people of Gaza during this critical time.
We are focused on several key initiatives aimed at aiding the most vulnerable individuals in Gaza, particularly children and women. Below is an overview of three crucial groups we are raising funds for:
Life-Saving Nutrition for Children: We urgently need your support to provide essential nutrition to 40 Palestinian children battling Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) at Kamal Idwan Hospital in North Gaza. These children are in a dire state and require specialized food, specifically dry instant milk, to survive. Unfortunately, the cost of this vital milk is prohibitively high for their families, who are already enduring extreme economic hardship. Each box of dry milk, which sustains a child for only three days, costs $35—an amount far beyond the reach of these families. Our goal is to raise sufficient funds to provide a one-month supply of dry milk for each child.
The situation is grave. Since mid-January, nearly 240,000 children aged six months to five years have been screened for malnutrition in Gaza. Of these, 14,750 were diagnosed with acute malnutrition, and a heartbreaking 3,288 are suffering from SAM, the most severe form. Without immediate intervention, these children face the risk of irreversible damage or even death.
Support for a Family in Need: We are also seeking donations for a mother and her family of 20, currently living in a refugee shelter in Gaza under extremely harsh conditions. This family is without a provider and faces daily struggles for survival. For a detailed description of their situation, please watch the video linked below:
Aid for an Orphaned Child with Aspirations: Additionally, we are raising funds for a young child who has tragically lost his entire family. Despite this immense loss, he dreams of becoming a doctor to help others. For more about his story, please view the following video:
Your donation, regardless of its size, can make a profound impact. Every dollar raised will go directly towards purchasing the much-needed dry instant milk and supporting these critical cases. Together, we can provide these children and families with the essential resources they need to survive and eventually thrive. Thank you for your generosity and support.
Over the past few months, I have been deeply committed to raising funds for various causes aimed at alleviating the suffering of those in need in Gaza. You can read about my past campaigns and their impact here:
For this campaign, I am working closely with my cousin, who resides in the Jabalia refugee camp. Together, we ensure that every donation is used transparently and effectively to address the urgent needs of the community.
Your support means everything to these families, and I guarantee that your generosity will make a real difference in their lives.
Thank you for your compassion and support.
