Gaza Relief Funds

As the humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues there are a number of Rotary-specific ways in which we can donate to help.

The Palestine Aid Fund is hosted by Rotary District 2452, which includes Armenia, Bahrain, Cyprus, Georgia, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Sudan, and the United Arab Emirates. The fund will provide humanitarian assistance to communities and families in Gaza, West Bank, and other countries in that District.  Contributions will help bring desperately needed food, medicine, clothing, and shelter.

Our Rotary partner Shelterbox is active inside Gaza, delivering tents and emergency shelter supplies.  To date, Clubs in District 1160 have donated over £20,000/€23,500 which has been matched by a generous donor.   A further £10,000/€11,250 is available for match funding of donations.

Gaza has seen it's first case of polio in 25 years.  All of Gaza's wastewater treatment plants and 70 per cent of its sewage pumps have been destroyed, according to Oxfam, meaning many streets in Gaza are flooded with water contaminated with untreated sewage, making it a prime environment for diseases to spread. 

To avert a widespread polio outbreak, aid groups are preparing to vaccinate more than 600,000 children in the coming weeks, as soon as a ceasefire is implemented.
