AMURTEL volunteers have staged in Cairo, Egypt as they partner with other agencies to bring aid to Palestinians facing starvation and untreated medical emergencies in Gaza. It is challenging to find ways to get goods into Gaza but we are determined to continue this effort as the need is so dire.
Our volunteers are also focusing on supporting those families who have been able to escape Gaza and are now faced with the daunting challenge of settling in Cairo.
AMURTEL continues to put together much needed Dignity packages for Palestinian women, source and purchase medical supplies, and offer psychology support for the many who have experienced unimaginable emotional trauma.
Please consider supporting this ongoing effort. The situation for thousands here continues to deteriorate and we must do something to help.
Hadeel arrived in Areesh, and distributed the AMURTEL mother and baby bags. Infant formula and diapers (very difficult to find in poor areas and very expensive for Gazans with no income) soap, sanitary pads for mothers. Hadeel herself is from Gaza and works tirelessly to save the Gazans in Areesh from poverty and distress. She is a teacher and dreams to start her own school for Gazan children there in Areesh.
