Support children caught in the Gaza Crisis

Hello,

UNICEF calls for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, and for all parties to unconditionally protect children from harm, in accordance with their obligations under international humanitarian and human rights law.

Your donation today will help us to provide urgent humanitarian support to the children caught in the Gaza Crisis. UNICEF deliveries of life-saving supplies for children are entering Gaza, and despite the extreme security situation, UNICEF is working with partners to provide children and families with urgent, humanitarian support, including:

  • Safe water;
  • Essential medical supplies;  
  • Hygiene kits;
  • Therapeutic food and nutritional supplements;
  • Mental health and psychosocial support;
  • Emergency supplies like blankets, warm clothes, tarps and tents;
  • Essential vaccines;
  • Recreational activities for children; and
  • Humanitarian cash transfers.

Personal Notes:

Saif:

I'll be running the Montreal half marathon this september and want to use this as an opportunity to raise funds for UNICEF. UNICEF has been active and present with delivering aid and services to Gazan children, especially during these past 10+ months.
Let's continue to apply pressure, and help by any means available to end the ongoing genocide.

Noor:

Hi friends and colleagues! 
I’ll be running the Montreal half marathon this September, and together with my friend Saif we decided to take this opportunity to fundraise for Gaza via UNICEF. 
We’ve chosen UNICEF as their work in Gaza covers a broad spectrum of aid, whether through essential vaccines, psychosocial support or emergency supplies. 
I am writing this on day 314 of the genocide—though raising funds and bearing witness is important, we would also like to remind you to continue to apply pressure on our elected leaders to push for an end to both this genocide and the occupation. 

While we’re here, I’d also like to shed some visibility on local Palestinian run organizations that you can also support including:
Canadian Palestinian Foundation of Quebec 
https://www.cpfq.org/

Palestinian Social Fund: https://www.palestiniansocialfund.com/

The Montreal branch of the Palestinian Youth Movement:

And abroad:
Ghassan Abu Sittah Children’s Fund:

Palestine Children’s Relief Fund:
