The Gaza Strip has been illegally occupied by Israel for fifty years and is currently under attack. Israeli attacks are killing & injuring people and destroying homes and infrastructure. These attacks come after 17 years of a crippling siege. 95% of water is not fit for human consumption. Electricity has been cut off completely. Children, who make up the half of the population, have been killed, injured, displaced and traumatized.
MECA works for the rights and well-being of children. We have been working in Gaza for thirty-five years. We have a team of staff and volunteers on the ground in Gaza and a network of grassroots partners. From sending shipments of medicine for clinics to delivering warm clothes to children in winter to funding teachers and psychologists to help children learn and heal, we work to meet the many needs of children in Gaza. Right now we are providing emergency aid to children and families in need.
Right now our focus is on meeting the immediate needs of children and families. In the long term, this project will reduce the children's risk of disease and malnutrition by addressing basic needs for food, medical care and adequate shelter that could impact their development and long-term health.
