2.3 million Palestinians live in the Gaza Strip. Ongoing Israeli attacks from air, land and sea are killing, injuring, and displacing children, journalists, and medical workers. Experts warn the whole population is on the brink of famine caused by the attacks and blockade. The Big Ride for Palestine is partnering with the Middle East Children's Alliance to provide emergency aid to children and families right now. We ride against genocide and occupation and raise funds to provide life-saving aid.

Children, who make up the half of the population, have been killed, injured, displaced and traumatized. There is little water or food, and no electricity
