American Near East Refugee Aid (Anera) - Emergency Relief
Project overview:
Project overview:
There is a human catastrophe in Gaza. Nearly every resident urgently needs aid as there has been widespread destruction of water and sewage infrastructure, healthcare, telecommunications and housing. With more than 85% of Gaza’s population—approximately 1.8 million people—displaced, the humanitarian crisis is only growing worse.
Anera’s priority at the moment is to provide civilians in Gaza with essential supplies to survive this humanitarian crisis. Help families who have been displaced lessen hunger by supplying them with nutritious hot meals and fresh produce, enable deliveries and distributions of food, water, medical supplies and medicines, helping to prevent disease and sickness among displaced families, and facilitate free healthcare and medical treatments through pop-up medical tents near shelters.
Anera has brought in more than 200 trucks carrying food, water, charcoal, medicines, bedding, hygiene items and more. There are preparations to supply a steady pipeline of food and medical aid shipments into Gaza.
Contributions to this program are Zakat eligible and will be matched by 20% from the UBS Optimus Foundation. The match is currently capped at USD 200 thousand, donations over this threshold will be matched at 10%.
