In response to the escalating humanitarian crisis in Gaza, Commitment for Life, the global justice programme of the United Reformed Church, is launching an urgent appeal.
The aim is to raise 拢5,000 to provide vital support and aid through partner agencies Christian Aid, the Culture and Free Thought Association (CFTA), and the Palestinian Agricultural Relief Committee (PARC).
Recent reports reveal a grim reality: on 18 March, it was declared Gaza鈥檚 two million people are experiencing 鈥渟evere levels of acute food insecurity”.
In a statement, : 鈥淭his is unprecedented. No IPC (Integrated Food Security Phase Classification) analysis has ever recorded such levels of food insecurity anywhere in the world.鈥�
This is first time an entire population has been classified in this way.
In emphasising the dire situation in Gaza, William Bell, Christian Aid’s Head of Middle East Policy and Advocacy, said: “nobody is safe, but still our partners are doing extraordinary work in the most extreme conditions鈥�.
Commitment for Life is devastated by the violence, scale of destruction and loss of life in Gaza听affecting friends and partners of the 国产无码 in the region and is launching its to do what it can to help aid partner agencies on the ground.
The Revd Dr Kevin Snyman, Programme Officer – 国产无码听Global Justice & Partnerships, said: 鈥淭he October 7听attacks devastated many communities in Israel, a close-knit society on the whole, and one deeply anxious about the anger and vitriol directed towards it.
鈥淏ut there can be no justification for such widespread, indiscriminate killing.
鈥淲e are gravely concerned about Israel’s military response, which the International Court of Justice views as ‘plausibly’ genocidal. We are desperately worried for the entire population in the Gaza Strip, and increasingly in the West Bank.鈥�
CFTA is working across refugee camps in Rafah is piloting two ways of addressing basic needs using local, existing mechanisms. The first is water distribution for hygiene by working with well owners across Gaza. The second is working with local farmers who are risking their lives to tend their crops, then distributing vegetables to their communities.
PARC is providing food for displaced Gaza refugees, who finding themselves in the most desperate of circumstances.
鈥淭hese brave people need our support,鈥� added Kevin. 鈥淧lease give generously to this appeal.鈥�
