GIFT Of HOPE – GAZA 2025
March 18, 2025
As people look forward to 2025, those of Gaza have little to celebrate. They are fighting off utter misery and despair without sufficient water, food, or medicine, facing end of winter’s biting cold without enough clothing or blankets, and in makeshift tents. Compound this with the resumption of aerial attacks and a ground invasion, the psychological trauma of war, and the grief over the loss of homes, jobs, and loved ones. They have an overwhelming sense that the world has forgotten and abandoned them.
Our AMURTEL team in Cairo wants to bring a gift of Hope to people in Al Mawasi Displacement Camp, Gaza. A bag of fresh vegetables currently costs about $35. Our local volunteers are ready to purchase, transport, pack, and distribute food bags to families living there. Families are extremely grateful for these life-saving efforts. Perhaps the most precious gift that we convey, beyond the life-supporting nutrition, the realization that there are people who care, that we love them, and stand with them in their bitter hardship and suffering.
Please join us by your generous support. We have no paid staff and no overhead. We are a small, family-style operation. What you give goes directly to the needy people of Gaza. Our heartfelt Thanks!
Note: Please be aware the situation in Gaza is changing daily, as is our ability to provide aid to different areas. Some of the information contained on the AMURTEL website may become outdated before we are able to provide newer information. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue to try and keep information current. And as always, your continued support is much appreciated.
