News from Gaza

Thank you for your prayers, donations and solidarity for the people of Gaza. Last month CWS was able to send a second grant of $141,000 to the Department of Service to Palestinian Refugees (DSPR) Gaza. Help is getting to some of the people in urgent need.

DSPR staff and volunteers are working in the extremely dangerous and challenging environment. Forced to move from the clinic at Rafah, they have rented a minivan to use as a mobile health clinic and a car for the staff, travelling with the evacuated communities. In the central Gaza region, locals and staff have repaired a few rooms in their vocational training centre in Shijaia so medical staff can treat injuries and illnesses. They are preparing to open a second medical point in the central region once people who are sheltering in it can find alternative accommodation. DSPR Gaza is running psychosocial programmes especially for children and has been able to distribute some food and emergency cash. Read their recent Update. CWS encourages you to contact your MP or other political leaders and ask for more action from our government to end this bitter conflict. Please remember DSPR and the people of Gaza and the West Bank in your prayers. If you can, please make another donation to our Emergency Appeal.
