Dear Richard
My name is Wasim
Ashour, and I am part of the Medical Aid for Palestinians'
(MAP) team here in Gaza. I want to share with you an update on
our ongoing work.
Our response to the crisis has been swift, but the situation
remains dire. We were one of the first international aid
agencies to respond, and we are now one of the last still
working in Gaza today. We are members of the local
community and, with your support, we will continue to do all
that we can to help our people.
With your support, we are delivering 1,000 hot meals daily to
around 3,000 individuals in the heart of Gaza, facing food scarcity
and bombardment. You are helping to directly address the
critical lack of food and nutrition in the midst of this emergency.
Beyond meals, your generosity has enabled us to provide over
US$1.9 million worth of essential supplies, including medicines and
disposables – and other life-sustaining items like mattresses,
blankets and hygiene kits. The need is urgent, and your continued
support is crucial. Thank
you so much for everything you have done already.
With limited humanitarian supplies here in Gaza, the situation is
desperate. But there is some hope. Our new MAP team in Cairo is
actively setting up operations to ensure a swift response, getting
medical and shelter supplies into Gaza through the Rafah crossing
as soon as we can.
Your ongoing support is invaluable. You are helping to make a real
impact on the ground.
Thank you for standing with us in solidarity.
