Last Update: November 11th, 2023

We’re overwhelmed with all the messages of solidarity and support we’ve been receiving from friends all over the world. Several of you reached out to ask how you can support Palestine during this time, so we’ve compiled a list of organizations and campaigns you can donate to.

NOTE: Since there is currently no means of sending financial aid or humanitarian support to Gaza, organizations are making use of their existing resources and relying on whatever supplies are at their disposal. The urgent call today is to FIRST raise your voice against the ongoing genocide in Gaza and SECONDLY, contribute funds so that once this crisis ends, these organizations can execute the necessary interventions fast. Your donation today will make an impact as soon as this devastating situation comes to an end.

For now, please continue to share what’s happening in Gaza, in ‘48, and in Palestine as a whole. The last couple of months have only proved that our voices can transpire change, and that among all the disheartening news we’ve been experiencing and sharing, there is hope for the freedom of our land and people. 

We have recently published another blog on why it’s time to shift the focus to directly empowering local organizations that are at the forefront of responding to the ongoing crisis in Gaza. Read “Local Palestinian Organizations Responding to the Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza
