Gaza In Need

More than 315 dead and 1 000 seriously injured these figures are sure to rise with more air strikes imminent and a possible ground assault in the coming days.

18 months of an existing blockade and a lack of vital medicines has resulted in hospitals being unable to cope with the overflow of dead and injured people.

Human Appeal International (HAI) has been working in Palestine for over 15 years and is currently distributing vital emergency relief through its offices in the Gaza Strip to help those that are worst affected.

HAI has launched an urgent Gaza Appeal. We need to respond to this human catastrophe immediately. Please donate NOW! Your donation can save lives.

Human Appeal International has been providing the following aid:

1) Medical Aid

2) Provision of Beds for hospitals

3) Food Parcels for large groups & families

4) X-ray Films

4) Repairing of broken windows at hospitals (hygiene/safety purposes).

Human Appeal International is also running an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) project whereby we are looking to build these to help in emergency circumstances on a daily basis. The actual cost of a full fledge ICU is £40 000 however HAI is looking to open at least some basic needs ICU’s which costs £13 000.

Along with this medical aid has been provided over the last few days in large trucks to help victims suffering from various types of illness and injury. These have contained vital medicines and medical equipment to help in the many emergency cases that hospitals have been overloaded with.

Beds have also been provided for hospitals as the shortage of these is quite high. These assist in the care of those severely injured and the aged. The needs of these people is still very high and enough cannot be done to ease the suffering in their lives.

Human Appeal International has also recently rebuilt broken windows in hospitals around Gaza which in turn makes the hospital more hygienic & safe for patients. This also helps doctors safely carry out their treatments and operations.

FOOD PARCEL BREAKDOWN

The breakdown of the food parcel shows that various needs are met through the provision of a variety of foods that provide good health and are filling. For example chicken rice flour sugar lentils cheese etc. Tea helps to keep warm! These foods are storable long-lasting and also provide for larger groups of people

£30 food parcels contain Flour Rice Tea Sugar Oil Lentils Dry baby milk Cheese Canned meat Beans Tomatoes. Each food parcel contains enough food for a family for an entire month. This really is a lifesaver for those suffering from starvation or famine

Food parcels cost £80 and are expected to also be stored for upcoming days rather than to be consumed in one go. The food parcels also provide for more than just 1 family. Please see the table below for in-depth details.

The need for food and medical aid is urgent and although aid is being provided there is a greater need for these supplies with each day that passes.
