We can’t thank you enough for your generosity. With your donation to GlobalGiving’s Israel-Palestine Crisis Relief Fund, you joined more than 4,000 other people from around the world to raise nearly $2 million to date in support of communities on the front lines of an extremely dire crisis.

With your support, GlobalGiving recently completed another round of emergency grants to vetted nonprofit partner organizations at the forefront of the humanitarian response, where millions of Gazans are now facing a looming famine.

Here is what one of our partners wanted you to know about the impact of your donation:

“The impact of your funding cannot be overstated. Your contribution will play a pivotal role in our ongoing efforts to provide vital support to women and children who are most vulnerable amidst the turmoil in Gaza. Your belief in our mission and your willingness to stand with us in solidarity mean more than words can convey.” - AISHA Association for Women and Children Protection

Here is a short description of some of the critical work you’ve recently supported:

AISHA Association for Women and Children Protection is a female-led, Gaza-based nonprofit focused on supporting women and children in times of crisis. Despite the dire circumstances in Gaza, the organization is providing cash assistance and psychological support to displaced women and children in Rafah,
Her Academy is an Israel-based nonprofit that serves women in vulnerable situations across the country. In the context of this conflict, the organization is providing financial support, meal deliveries, and psychological support to women displaced by conflict.
Union of Relief and Development Associations (URDA)is a Lebanon-based nonprofit serving people in southern Lebanon who have been displaced by the escalating crisis by providing cash assistance, hygiene kits, and food and clean water deliveries. More than 100,000 people have been displaced by the conflict and are now living in cramped quarters in schools and other locations.

Your donation to the GlobalGiving Israel-Palestine Crisis Relief Fund powers community-led responses to this urgent and tragic crisis. You can find a full list of GlobalGiving nonprofit partners* that have received a grant to date from our fund at the end of this report.

Your support is making an ongoing difference for communities affected by this crisis. As we continue our support through this fund to our partners in the region over the difficult months ahead, we will continue to update you on the impact of your gift.

With immense gratitude,

Chase + the GlobalGiving Team

An update on your donation to the Israel-Palestine Crisis Relief Fund

Thank you for your generous donation to the Israel-Palestine Crisis Relief Fund. As the devastating crisis continues, donations to this GlobalGiving Fund are bringing relief to war-torn communities in the region.

Since we last updated you, contributions to the Israel-Palestine Crisis Relief Fund have supported eight grants to trusted nonprofit organizations that have demonstrated experience working in emergency relief in Israel, Palestine, and Egypt. As needs only grow, with entire families killed, the specter of famine threatening Gaza, and unabated displacement from homes, GlobalGiving partners are working under incredibly difficult circumstances to reach people in need.

Here is what one nonprofit leader in Palestine wanted you to know about the impact of your donation:

"This [grant] will help us provide much-needed support to our communities that face crisis and to sustain their work under crisis." - Sunbula Director

Here is a short description of some of the critical work you’ve supported:

Rebuilding Alliance’s kitchens in Gaza have partnered with the UN World Food Programme to deliver hundreds of bags of much-needed food supplies. This includes wheat and beans, with more shipments expected. Rebuilding Alliance is also working in the West Bank to provide psychological support and first aid training for communities under attack.

IsraAID continues to work with communities at risk in Israel. This includes providing Bedouin communities protection from attacks. IsraAID is also creating child-friendly spaces for evacuated communities in Israel, coordinating civil society initiatives, and providing mental health services.

Your support of the GlobalGiving Israel-Palestine Crisis Relief Fund powers community-led responses during a dire moment in history. The fund will continue to support partners in a flexible and responsive manner as the crisis remains fluid, new challenges arise, and opportunities for more humanitarian aid open. Thank you for standing in solidarity with local leaders. You can find a full list of nonprofits receiving a grant from the Fund at the end of this report.

With gratitude,

Sarah + the GlobalGiving Team

An update on your donation to the Israel-Palestine Crisis Relief Fund

We are immensely grateful for your donation to the GlobalGiving Israel-Palestine Crisis Relief Fund. Your support demonstrates that it’s possible to elevate our common humanity and meet humanitarian needs amid a crisis shrouded in complexity.

With your donation, GlobalGiving is making seven emergency grants to vetted, community-led nonprofit organizations whose courageous and hard-working teams are making a difference on the ground. One community leader shared that:

"Our UNRWA colleagues are working continuously to support the now 730,000 people sheltering in our schools and other facilities." - Jason Terry, UNRWA USA

Below is a brief description of relief activities you’re supporting:

Egyptian Food Bank is delivering food and water to affected families in Gaza. It coordinated the largest relief caravan in its history, consisting of 120 trucks under the umbrella of the National Alliance for People's Development. This aimed to provide food and water to more than 150,000 families in Gaza. They’re also providing daily hot meals and medical kits to hospitals in the border region between Egypt and Gaza.

IsraAID is working closely with displaced communities in evacuation centers and virtually. Its trained specialists and partners manage child and parent spaces and create safe, supportive learning environments for trauma-affected children. IsraAID teams are also providing food, psychosocial support, and protective spaces for Bedouin and asylum-seeking communities.

As this crisis crosses the one-month mark this week, your generosity brings hope to communities across Israel and Palestine. A complete list of nonprofits receiving a grant from the Israel-Palestine Crisis Relief Fund can be found at the end of this report.

As humanitarian needs grow and evolve, the GlobalGiving team will keep you updated about your continued impact on communities affected by this crisis.

With gratitude,

Sandrina + the GlobalGiving Team
