United Nations Relief for Palestine

More than 100 Palestinians have died, a quarter of them children.

Wars and skirmishes do not occur in a vacuum; they are accumulated actions and reactions over years, if not decades. 

In 1948, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians fled or were forced out of their homes in "Al Nakba," (The Catastrophe). Israel took military control of a land that was already a home, and the Palestinians who inhabited this land had no intent to leave. Without a peace agreement, the norm of fighting has followed for decades, and the Palestinian people attempt to live their lives and raise their families amidst unrest. This escalation is not a war; it is genocide.

People resort to violence when they lack peaceful, constructive means to express their grievance. Protesting against these aggressors is all Palestinians are able to do. Israeli military fight armed with grenades and no respect for humanitarian boundaries, murdering children and interrupting prayers, and violating International humanitarian law and ignoring core tenets of morality without consequence. Constant attempts to crush their spirits and destroy their homes, now amidst a global pandemic, leaves Palestinians without basic necessities and in critical danger.

Money donated goes toward the Gaza Emergency Fund, and will support those directly impacted by the conflict.
