Your Support Is Saving Lives in Gaza
This week, thanks to your continued generosity, our team on the ground in Gaza delivered life-saving food parcels to 21 families—eight of whom were in urgent need amidst the ongoing blockade and starvation crisis.
Our incredible volunteers, Hassan and Saad, are going above and beyond. With determination and resourcefulness, they’ve been sourcing essential food supplies under nearly impossible conditions. Their access to a vehicle allows them to travel further to find what little food is available – often at sky-high prices – and buy in bulk to share with families who otherwise have no access.
Because of their efforts, and your support families who would have gone to bed hungry had food on their tables. In a place where hunger has become the norm, this work is not just aid – it’s survival.
While we don’t know the exact headcount, these 21 families represent a significant number of people, each one directly impacted by your support. For £44 the food parcels provide nourishing ingredients for about a week’s worth of meals per person. Larger families of 10 or more received bigger parcels, while smaller households received appropriately-sized support. What is certain is this: your donations have reached far and wide, bringing relief to over a hundred men, women and children during a time of desperate need..
Every parcel had a combination of fresh produce (including tomatoes, cucumbers, aubergine, onions, and potatoes in particular which were much appreciated by the families!), dried foods like rice, lentils and pasta, and tinned foods as well. These also included cooking oil, tea, and sanitary pads.
A core part of what makes All Our Relations different, and effective, is that this support is led by local people who deeply understand their communities’ needs. Every item in the food parcels was carefully chosen by Palestinians on the ground, based on what families truly needed and wanted most.
Your donations empowered them to take action, not only to support their own families, but to extend life-saving help to others around them. This isn’t charity, it’s dignity. It’s community. It’s solidarity in its most powerful form.
And you made it possible.
We hope you feel pride and hope in that. Please keep sharing All Our Relations’ work, donate when you can, and help us keep this lifeline going.
