Calls for a ceasefire are mounting as fears grow that the Israeli/Palestinian conflict will continue to escalate, and families in the region will continue to bear the brunt. Many of the victims - Israeli and Palestinian - are ordinary civilians in dire need of emergency medical treatment, food, and shelter. The two charities in this fund were chosen because of their ethos of helping all people displaced by the violence with a particular focus upon the children who suffer the most in war.

World Refugee Day, recognized annually on June 20, was established by the United Nations to celebrate and honor refugees around the world. According to the UN, every minute, 20 people leave everything behind to escape war, persecution or terror. More than 80 million people around the world have fled their homes, which is just the beginning of a long and difficult journey, often involving refugee camps, abrupt relocations, family separation, and unnavigable bureaucratic processes. The theme for 2021 is “together we heal, learn, and shine.” The shared experience of COVID-19 has shown us that we only succeed if we stand together.

A peaceful Saturday in Palestine has erupted into a humanitarian crisis. As of 10/12, more than 1400 people including at least 150 children have lost their precious lives and more than 6200 have been injured. Hospitals and emergency relief efforts, already strained for resources, are now scrambling to save lives without power, fuel, water, medical equipment and basic human needs. In such a situation, the inherently vulnerable: the critically ill, children, families, and the elderly are most at risk and in need of support. Let us support them to help us bring hope to the Holy Land. Every second that passes is urgent and each moment is a chance to make a difference.
