This weekend, our work continued in Gaza, where the AH&H team and local partners got an additional 130,000 pounds of fresh produce directly into the hands of vulnerable households.
As Gaza stabilizes following the ceasefire, nutritious foods are either too expensive or impossible to access, so this is a critical lifeline, especially for children. Many families in Gaza have returned to cooking, but they have limited access to ingredients. So these fresh vegetables and fruits provide not only healthy food, but also agency to prepare meals.
Working with our local partners in Gaza, we took the more than 60 tons of carrots, onions, potatoes, oranges and created nearly 9,000 food kits, each weighing 16 pounds.
Watch the team in action this weekend:
We are grateful to our partners at CORE who joined us in this effort, and it’s only the start; we will continue to surge in much-needed aid in the days and weeks ahead! With your help, we can do even more.
This is our second big fresh vegetable delivery. We are now starting to bring in shelter material, therapeutic food to fight malnutrition in children, medicine, and more hygiene kits for families. Last week delivered 5,000 hygiene kits to families; here’s a photo sent by a recipient in Gaza:
Starting this week, we will begin distribution of 40,000 tarps and shelter material. This will help families cover holes in their buildings or fix tents if they are displaced. So much more is needed, but it’s an important start as temperatures drop with winter approaching.
We will keep you updated as our work in Gaza continues. Thank you for supporting these efforts!
