With the Coronavirus pandemic, U.S. Boat to Gaza is recommending our friends help out the people of Gaza since they not only face the virus like the rest of us; they also face it under a blockade and occupation. Here are things you can do:
- Petitions:
- Sign a petition asking the Israeli government to release all Palestinian child detainees amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
- Sign a Mpower Change and Jewish Voice For Peace petition to Congress to #EndTheGazaBlockade “so that those vulnerable in Gaza will have access to the basic medical resources they need to survive this global pandemic.”
- Donations: In addition to DCI-Palestine, MPower and JVP mentioned above, please consider the following organizations on the ground in Gaza:
- UNWRA (https://www.unrwa.org)
- Rebuilding Alliance (https://www.rebuildingalliance.org/) and
- Middle East Children’s Alliance (https://www.mecaforpeace.org/)
- IMET2000 Fundraising to Support Frontline Healthcare Professionals in Palestine: (https://www.imet2000.org/)
- Other great organizations with information about Palestinian actions relative to prisoners and Covid-19:
Thank you.
