Help break the blockade and clothe Gaza’s children this winter

104,000 Palestinians were made homeless in Gaza this summer and even though governments around the world just pledged $5.4 Billion USD to rebuild Gaza, they will still be homeless this winter. Why? Two reasons: the Government of Israel has yet to allow-in cement and steel and, even if you start today, construction won’t finish before the rains begin. So what happens to homeless families, homeless children when the cold comes?

They will need warm clothes and shoes and blankets — so that’s where we start.
