Help deliver food so families in Gaza can break their Ramadan fast in dignity, and give clothing for their children for the Eid.


Gaza’s economy is on the verge of total collapse. Unemployment is sky-high, and many families are in dire need. With Mr. Trump's decision to slash U.S. funding to the UN Relief and Works Agency and other US aid, paired with the Palestinian Authority's decision to halt payment of salaries to civil employees in Gaza, many families are close to starvation.

Thanks to your donations, Rebuilding Alliance has already sent 27,000 Nur al-Amal (Light of Hope) solar lanterns through the blockade to Gaza’s children! Together with our Palestinian Non Governmental Organization (NGO) partners, we distributed the lights to families in need and saw how great their need really is. Donna, RA’s Executive Director, was granted a permit to enter Gaza and has visited twice in the past three months, "The need is overwhelming."


We ask your help to feed 200 families.

Please donate now.  Our NGO partners, the Women’s Program Center in Rafah-Gaza and the Youth Vision Society in Gaza Beach Camp, have identified families in dire need and sought bids to purchase food. They are buying in bulk, providing $50 worth of food to each family to provide nourishing iftar dinners during Ramadan.  Once we met this goal, they arranged to give families a voucher for new clothes and shoes for the children.

Your $50 gift buys a week of Iftar dinners:

The crisis in Gaza is desperate.

If you live in the US, please email Congress now to urge your Senators and Representative to intervene on your behalf as their constituent, to prevent what will soon become starvation. 

About Rebuilding Alliance

Founded in 2003, Rebuilding Alliance is an American 501(c)3(h) nonprofit dedicated to rebuilding war-torn communities and bringing the world together to make them safe. Our life-affirming vision: a just and enduring peace in Israel and Palestine founded upon equal rights, security, and opportunity for all. Ours is village-directed rebuilding, often crowd-funded, with grassroots engagement that has included education and advocacy throughout the U.S to help constituents request Congressional help to keep Palestinian villages and neighborhoods safe from demolition through diplomatic means.  Rebuilding Alliance’s work to build a kindergarten with the Palestinian village of Al Aqaba in 2003, led to a remarkable model of U.S. citizen and diplomatic engagement that has kept that village of 300 people standing despite demolition orders and thriving. Rebuilding Alliance’s work in Gaza also began in 2003, focusing on the Rachel Corrie Rebuilding Campaign in Gaza. Rachel Corrie’s parents, Cindy and Craig Corrie, were founding board members.  Rebuilding Alliance recently brought seven Congressional staff to Palestine and Israel on a Congressional Leadership Learning Mission that some called, 'life changing'.
