More than 15 months of war in Gaza, millions of pounds for help for humanitarian organizations have been raised. Much of that has not been delivered. According to a report of 15 humanitarian groups, 83 percent of the required food aid did not reach the strip last year.

The high Sunday’s fire has given Gazans “a small brightness of hope,” says Vincent Stehli, director of Operations of Hunger action. He World Food Program and World Central Kitchen They are also on the floor. With the growing infant malnutrition rates, more than 96 percent of the population of Gaza faces the acute food shortage, the first step is “to exclude the entry of goods, either food, medical care or reconstruction materials for discouraging and desalination plants [responsible for providing clean drinking water]”Stehli says.

In collaboration with World Central Kitchen, the action against hunger plans to distribute 4,500 food plots in the city of Gaza this week. Each contains 75 percent of the caloric needs of a complete family for a month. “However, continuous dependence on food aid is unsustainable,” says Stehli, so the beneficial organization also provides tools, seeds and fertilizers to support food production. There are still restrictions to bring construction materials, but the action against hunger intends to resume reconstruction structures such as bakeries when possible.

A durable fire will also allow charity organizations to provide more than trauma attention: much of the immediate approach has been in bullet lesions, bombs and explosions. “The map could expand its operations to support the challenge of infectious diseases and hung Medical Help for PalestiniansIt helps build sustainable and locally led health systems. MAP is acquiring everything from analgesics to cancer medications, in addition to assistance devices for the newly disabled community: “Almost all kinds of medical supply are needed in Gaza,” says Shalltot. The medical community faces the same challenges with the reconstruction of their hospitals, but “what is The feasible thing at this early stage is to evaluate the current state of the health centers and renew those that can be repaired, ”she says.

Meanwhile, beneficial organizations such as War of war and the Palestine Children’s Help Fund It will try to mitigate the emotional and development impact on children in the region. He International Book of Books for Young He is using donations from his children in the crisis fund to reconstruct two children’s libraries and provide “literature” in improvised spaces, while the witness and memory initiative is raising funds for materials to provide art therapy.

The total reconstruction of Gaza, which implies the massive cleaning of the debris and the unleashed ammunition, is reserved for the third stage of Alto El Fuego, whose terms have not yet negotiated. “Meanwhile, emergency help and shelter, such as stores, are still a priority for people who return to where their homes were once,” he says Shelter Executive Director Sanj Srikanthan. “A third of houses are totally destroyed, and more than 90 percent are totally or partially destroyed.” The beneficial organization has provided 15,000 Palestinians supplies that include tents, blankets and cooking games, and has delivered more tents to the north of Gaza in the days after high fire. As it would be for many beneficial organizations, the reopening of the Rafah’s crossing, the only point of entry and exit of Gaza that does not border Israel, would allow Shelterbox to provide even more help.

Fund collection units continue abroad, from the main beneficial organizations to base organizers such as Cafes for Gazawhich has been coordinating weekly donations of $ 5, the equivalent of coffee, for the families displaced in the strip. Your last initiative is TABKHA: Recipes from under the rubble (£ 26), the cookbook debut of Mona ZahedA four -year -old chef and mother who is currently displaced in a tent in the southern part of the territory. Each of its recipes, from the spicy qidra rice to Herby Fattoush, is illustrated by a different artist, with 100 percent of the income of the book addressed to the author and other coffees for Gaza families. In another culinary note, tickets are still tickets for the #CookForpalestina The last dinner of the project, which sees chefs Jan Ostle and Jenan Ashi, serve a menu inspired by Palestinians at the Carousel restaurant in London. Their income benefits from the Palestine Children’s Help Fund and the Charitable Refugee Organization Way to Freedom.

“A humanitarian emergency is still ongoing,” says Srkanthan de Shelterbox, emphasizing that short -term provisions remain essential. Similarly, “Palestinian lives in Gaza continue to have a critical risk of diseases, hunger and lack of access to medical care,” says Map’s Sheltoot. “Donations to provide very necessary help in Gaza are as important as ever, if not more.”
