PALESTINE NEEDS YOUR HELP! RIGHT NOW!
Donation protected
As two high school students determined to make a difference, we are passionately launching a GoFundMe campaign to support the people of Palestine. We’ve come together in order to make a change, as we have seen all the devastating events that are occurring currently. We strongly empathize with all those struggling with all the harsh living conditions. This initiative is part of a school action project focused on creating positive impacts in our communities and/or globally.
The funds raised will be transparently and equally donated to two separate organizations specializing in aiding the Palestinian community. By creating this GoFundMe fundraiser, we hope to inspire our fellow students, friends, family, and a wider community to join us in making a meaningful difference in the lives of Palestinians. Together, we can foster a larger support that transcends borders, contributing to resilience, empowerment, and the overall improvement of living conditions for those in need. No matter how small, every contribution will play a crucial role in providing hope and assistance to the people of Palestine.
We appreciate your time and help!
- Two high school students!
Ways the civilians have been severely Impacted:
- Resources: What do they have? The food, water, and internet supply have become very limited. “The United Nations was forced to stop deliveries of food and other necessities to Gaza and warned of the growing risk of widespread starvation after internet and telephone services collapsed in the besieged enclave because of a lack of fuel.”
- Hospitals: What’s happened to their medical resources? “The war has knocked 27 of 35 hospitals across Gaza out of operation.” Due to the lack of power and resources, several people's lives have come to an end, including many children, newborns, and the elderly.
- Displacement: Where do they go now? Many have been ripped away from their homes, left with absolutely nothing and nowhere to go. “More than 1.7 million people have been forcibly displaced across the Gaza Strip.”
- Borders: Why can’t they leave? “Gaza is surrounded by blockades imposed by Israel and Egypt, which restrict movement. Israel prevents access to and from Gaza by sea and air. Land movement is restricted to three crossings: the Egypt-controlled Rafah crossing and Erez and Kerem Shalom crossings, which Israel controls.”
- Shelter: What’s happened to their living circumstances?“The United Nations says around two-thirds of Gaza's 2.3 million residents are homeless, including most of the population of Gaza City and the rest of the northern half of the enclave.”
- Animals: What about animals? Many of those leaving their houses to reach safety bring their animals with them in order to prevent their passing. They’re afraid their animals will no longer be alive when they return to their homes. Many pets, especially stray cats, live through the dangers of being trapped under rubble.
Many individuals are enduring devastating living conditions, experiencing continual suffering every moment of each day. Please help change these circumstances. Your donations and prayers are very much appreciated!
