Donate For Gaza!

Filed under: Arab Societies, Charity & Human Aid, Palestine — Eman at 7:35 pm on Thursday, February 7, 2008

I really hope that every caring person would consider donating any amount they’re planning to spend on any luxury item they wish to buy (no matter how small) for the people of Gaza, for them to get essential items that might save their lives. Gazans who are living under harsh siege conditions, and are not allowed to get help from outside, neither are they allowed to take matters in their own hands, because apparently, that’s “uncivilized”, “wrong” and VIOLATES MANY LAWS that are only stripping them from their basic rights of survival.

Your donation, no matter how small, will definitely make a difference. Whether it will help provide health supplies, nutrition supplies or even items to help keep people warm in winter.

Now I’ve been asked by some friends whether there’s a specific Palestinian aid organization I favor or trust more than others. Actually, there’s no specific one. But there are a couple that I feel are reliable enough and have proven their efficiency over the years. And although they might -and probably WILL- face difficulties delivering aid items, but rest assured that your donations will reach their destination, maybe with a delay, but they will be delivered to those who need them.

So I recommend:

Eman, I think that a lot of people really want to help and make a donation but the problem is how?
Even the links you mentioned could not be helpful for people living in Tunisia for instance, because they cannot donate via Internet.
My suggestion is to raise the money from those who want to help (your tunisians friends) and someone living abroad could donate the same amount to Islamic relief for insantance (and get refunded later).

NJ, you’ve got a very good point here.
And your suggestion is highly appreciated the only problem though is that someone living abroad :) I mean not so many people like to get involved in things that include money for fear they wouldn’t get paid or something.

But concerning the links I provided, they list their contact numbers, so I guess that those interested in donating from Tunisia can call them or email them and get their bank details and then transfer money from their Tunisian bank accounts to them.
Another way is to contact the Palestinian consulate in Tunis, they have their connections and they can arrange for ways to get donations to Palestine.

Again, thanks for your comment :)
