At the end of March 2023 another donation was made by the “Friends of Gaza” to facilitate more poor children and families in Gaza.

This was to celebrate Ramadan, as you will see from the photos our donation was gratefully received by the children; especially the laterns which reprecents the western worlds use of a Christmas tree.

As always we are more than grateful and wholeheartedly thank our donors; who without their support and help would make it more difficult for us to go forward with our continued assistance.

While the western world enjoys relative freedom and the luxury of movement, let us remember Gaza is enclosed by a 40 foot wall with limited access to the outside world and luxury is not a commodaty or a word known there. So any help and support is always gratefully received by those less fortunate than ourselves.

The convoy, which took off from London on Monday, comes on the back of a two-month fundraising effort by UK-based charities including Human Aid, Hand in Hand for Syria and Anaya Aid as well as the Malaysia-based Malaysian Life Line for Syria. and the Friends of Gaza. The coalition of charities has seen £500,000 raised through events including school no-uniform days and sponsored mountain climbs and marathons. Ambulances donated by a British aid mission were called into action within a day of arriving in Syria, potentially saving lives in their response to a deadly explosion in the city of Idlib.
