Gaza Emergency Fund

Due to the war in Gaza, we got heavily involved in humanitarian aid and we couldn’t watch without offering our support. Since October 2023, we have provided help to more than 7,000 families (more than 30,000 individuals). Our humanitarian help has been in the form of food parcels, baby formulas and diapers, cooked meals, drinkable clean water in different areas, prescription eyeglasses for the elderly and children, feminine hygiene, and much more. Our human aid will never stop as long as our people back in Gaza are still under attack.
