Plan International Canada’s Post

It was supposed to be a time for family visits, sharing of food and messages of peace and blessings, but instead this year in Gaza, both Easter and Ramadan has been a time of sadness, loneliness and lack. Abu Yusuf says his family and many others he knows have resorted to cooking the weeds that grow during the winter when the rains fall. They are all down to one meal a day, and often when there is nothing to make bread with, they will grind rabbit feed and use that as a flour. While aid trucks have been entering Gaza, not nearly the same amount of aid has been allowed in since the war started. Roughly about 500 aid trucks are needed daily to cover the basic needs of the people in Gaza, but since the war started the number of trucks topped 300 a day - the last time being during the week-long cease-fire. Some days as little as 10 trucks have made it in. Our partners in the region, Shepherd Society, are reaching out to those in their immediate communities with food packs containing essential items. Currently these temporary measures are all that they can do, and as long as the crisis continues this type of support is a lifeline of hope. Will you consider donating to help them get through the next few weeks? Visit our donate page on our website for various ways to give and be apart of bringing hope to the hopeless. #Gaza #crisis #crisisresponse #shepherdssociety #crisisresponsenetwork #aid #humanitarian

🚨 Urgent Call for Help 🚨 “ It takes me more than 5 hours to bring food to my family. It’s difficult and tiring but I have no other choice otherwise we don’t eat  ,” confides Mohammad, 11 years old. His story mirrors that of 2.2 million Gazans facing hunger. For nearly six months, Gaza has been devastated by airstrikes and hunger, pushing it toward famine. Parents skip meals so their children can eat, but many still go hungry. By March 15, 2024, 677,000 faced severe food insecurity. Without urgent intervention, famine is imminent by May. In Rafah, over 1.5 million displaced people queue for food, while daily bombings destroy vital infrastructure. Inaccessible regions suffer acute malnutrition, with 1 in 3 children under 2 affected. UNICEF persists in issuing warnings, yet obstacles hinder the delivery of aid. Join us in supporting UNICEF’s mission and contribute to raise awareness and funds to provide critical assistance before it’s too late.   #GazaCrisis #FamineAlert #HumanitarianEmergency #UNICEF #DonateNow Source: UNICEF France.

【Distribute Hot Meals in Gaza - Your Support Is Urgently Needed】 The conflicts in the #Gaza Strip have been ongoing for six months, and the death toll continues to rise. Over 13,000 children have lost their lives, with one-third of children under the age of two suffering from severe #malnutrition. Some mothers even have to bear stillbirth or infant mortality – the situation is worrying. Currently, through the collaboration with the local organisation, #PlanInternational has successfully provided 6,000 emergency food packages to the displaced people in Gaza. Despite the challenge, Plan International will continue partnering with the local organisation to provide assistance to the population affected by the conflicts. With no sign of a ceasefire in Gaza, the entire population has been living on an empty stomach and in fear. Families are being forced to eat grass and animal feed to survive. Once again, we urge an immediate, permanent, and #ceasefire NOW . We hope that you can join us in providing assistance to help those affected overcome the difficult times. 👉Donate Now： https://lnkd.in/g-QZ8hfR  👉Learn More： https://bit.ly/3PPhO0E #GazaMiddleEastHumanitarianCrisis #HumantarianAid #EmergencyRelief #Israel #Palestine #Famine #HungerCrisis

Dear friends, consider helping Embrace Relief campaign in Gaza. From Embrace Relief: After months of ongoing war in Gaza, a grim reality confronts us: more than a half-million Palestinians are suffering from severe malnutrition and disease, and children are dying of starvation every day. The World Health Organization calls the situation "catastrophic" and warns that famine is imminent. In the wake of the destruction, the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) reports that a staggering 62 percent of Gaza's homes lie in ruins, leaving 75% of the population displaced -- including many families who have had to flee multiple shelters. As the conflict persists and essential supplies become more scarce, the delivery of humanitarian aid in the war zone has become increasingly difficult. Nevertheless, it is imperative that we extend our compassion and support to those afflicted. For this reason, Embrace Relief is now asking for your donations to support Gazans. Embrace Relief is working with United Nations-recognized agencies to deliver much-needed aid to the residents of Gaza. Every single donation, no matter how modest, will make a significant difference in the lives of individuals and families struggling to rebuild amidst adversity. Your generosity can bring light in the darkest times. Donate now and help us make a meaningful impact. Donate here: https://lnkd.in/eWMADDwQ
