Help Gaza!


 

Action for Humanity is the Only Canadian Muslim NGO with a registered office in Ramallah and staff in Gaza. We need your support to help those in need!

 

Update:   

  • Latest Casualty figures:
    • Gaza – 10,000+
    • West Bank - 150+ 
    • Injured – 20,000+
  • 50% of Gaza's land has been destroyed
  • Displacements: More than 1.5 million Palestinians find themselves forced from their homes; their lives upended by the dual specters of fear and destruction.

 

Our CEO Rania Lawendy held a press conference at the Parliment in Ottawa, Ontario October 28th speaking on the Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza. 

Rania Lawendy speaking on CTV and CBC about the Humanitarian Crises on Gaza:

 

Immediate Needs: 

Urgent medical supplies, disposables, and equipment are required. 

Urgent psychosocial support is needed for affected families. 

50,000 Dignity Kits are required for women and men. 

Cash assistance is crucial for host communities, protection cases, and families in emergency Shelters. 

Shelter: 

Immediate provision of shelter support for internally displaced persons (IDPs) is necessary. There is an urgent need for shelter cash assistance for IDPs. 

Health: 

Hospitals are relying on backup generators, and there is an urgent need for trauma care. Access to essential healthcare services are hindered, and movement restrictions are impacting mobile clinics. 

Food Security: 

The UNRWA food operation is on hold, affecting 112,759 families. Access restrictions are jeopardizing the agriculture, livestock, and poultry sectors. 

WASH: 

Solid waste collection is on hold, and there is an urgent need for an alternative power supply to sustain WASH services. 

 

Gaza has been described as an "open-air prison." Conditions in Gaza were dire even before the recent escalations in conflict, with occupation, blockade, and recurrent conflicts plunging people into deep poverty and suffering. The Gaza Strip, home to approximately 2.1 million people, has been under a land, sea, and air blockade imposed by Israel since 2007.  The situation is rapidly changing, and the level of threat remains elevated. Swift actions are of utmost importance. International stakeholders are closely observing the situation, and additional updates will be furnished as developments occur 

 

AFH Response 

We are the only NGO that has an office in Ramallah and staff in Gaza. We are vigilantly monitoring the situation and completing our rapid needs assessment to provide essential humanitarian assistance in Gaza. At the same time, we started the procurement process for the immediate medical supplies.  These medical supplies will be provided to hospitals based on the need assessment carried out by the Ministry of Health.  

Planned activities:  

These planned actions will have a critical impact in delivering aid and support to the affected populace. 

Provision of critical medical supplies – We are working with Ministry of Health and will be able to procure the items through local suppliers: We are aiming to provide: 

Vital medications 

Surgical equipment 

Medical devices. 

Non-Food Vouchers : blankets, kitchen utensils, and may also encompass health needs and support tools based on the individual requirements of each family. 

Food Vouchers : The items of the food vouchers that will be allowed to be purchased by beneficiaries are usually determined according to the most agreed commodities for the beneficiaries and in line with the Minimum standards for the humanitarian response (Sphere standard).  

Shelter voucher : The home rehabilitation vouchers will aid families whose residences are devastated in recent escalations. It aims to restore and secure affected homes, offering tailored repairs, complete reconstruction, safety enhancements, and essential utility restoration
