Appeal for Humanitarian Aid for Palestine

Since October 2000, when our Region was engulfed in a new era of violence, Palestinians all over the West Bank and Gaza have endured many hardships. Most Palestinian villages and towns are now approaching a state of collapse. The medical situation is particularly grim. Lacking medical insurance, income, and freedom of movement, Palestinians are unable to obtain basic medical treatment.

During this period, the Community of Wahat al Salam ~ Neve Shalom has taken upon itself to organize small-scale humanitarian projects, to help, in a modest way.

So far the Village has performed the following actions:

  • Organized a donation to the Al-Mukassad hospital in Jerusalem,
  • Donated money towards medical supplies for the hospital in Tulkarem, West Bank.
  • Collected clothing for the Kalandia Refugee Camp near Ramallah.
  • NSWAS school children donated holiday gifts to an orphanage in East Jerusalem.
  • The School for Peace is coordinating a project conducted by Physicians for Human Rights - Israel and sponsored by the European Community, to equip and run an emergency clinic in the town of Azoun, near Tulkarem, in the West Bank. In addition, the EC project includes three days of free medical treatment, with distribution of medicines.

We hope that NSWAS friends and supporters also feel the urgent need to support humanitarian projects in Palestine. We therefore call upon you to join us in our efforts to collect funds for basic medical assistance.

All donations received will be distributed according to the most urgent needs identified by our Palestinian partners. We will keep you promptly informed on how they are spent.
