By Josie Shields-Stromsness | MECA Program Director
Thanks to your generous donations to MECA, nearly 1500 Palestinian children in Gaza received warm winter bundles with jackets, jeans, thermals, shoes, socks, and thick blankets.
This has been a particularly harsh winter with heavy rains causing flooding in Gaza. Your donations helped ensure children were safe and warm.
Our annual winter relief campaign sources most items from local factories in Gaza and so provided employment to approximately 40 people in Gaza which means an income for 40 families at a time when unemployment is on the rise due to the ongoing Israeli occupation and siege as well as the COVID-19 pandemic.
Check out the video of the first distribution in November to see how your donations were put to use: https://youtu.be/EqSxgvZmx1c
Many thanks for your support!
