1.1 Million Palestinians Facing Famine Community kitchen is saving lives DONATE NOW Rampant malnutrition. Famine-like conditions. Rising death tolls. The hunger crisis in Gaza is out of control.  For the past four months, Women for Women International has been equipping a local non-profit, Wefaq Society for Women and Child Care, with funds to run a community kitchen and distribute crucial aid to the women of Gaza.  As the war stretches on and more children die of starvation, every hot meal and every piece of warm clothing is helping to keep up the strength and the spirit of Palestinian people. Rush an emergency donation to provide life-saving support, including: Hot meals and food vouchers Winter clothes and shoes Blankets and mattresses Hygiene kits including menstrual supplies Diapers for babies RUSH AID TO GAZA Help Us Restore Hope Despite the horrors unfolding in Gaza, I still see glimmers of hope in the community. Below are new photos and videos from our partner, showing families "shopping" for winter clothes and a mother feeding her young children with whatever little she can find. The joy exuding from this beautiful family is palpable — nearly overshadowing the sound of drones in the background. We are in the middle of Ramadan, a time when families should be coming together each evening to observe the holy month by breaking their fast. Now, the hunger never ends.  UN Secretary General António Guterres warned Gaza is “becoming a graveyard for children” and UNICEF reports that “babies do not even have the energy to cry.” This agonizing time calls for swift and persistent action.
