Founded through a collaboration between Deaf organizers in the US and Gaza, Deaf Relief Gaza is led on the ground in Gaza by Omar, a Deaf community advocate in Gaza.
Before October 7th, Omar worked as a teacher for Deaf students and was raised in signing environments with Deaf friends, teachers, and mentors. Since the start of the genocide, he has stepped up in extraordinary ways to support the Deaf community in Gaza.
Deaf Relief Gaza provides urgent aid to Deaf Palestinians displaced by war. Funds go toward food, hygiene, clothing, hearing aids, and mobility devices.
