In November the U.N. reported that only 3% of the cooking gas needs were being allowed into Gaza, due to the closure of the main Gaza fuel supply at Nahal Oz.
WA has supported thousands of families in Gaza this year by:
-Distributing £60,000 of hygiene kits to 4,000 families
-Allocating £330,000 with support from British government to support children seriously injured and disabled in the conflict
-Improving sanitation in the middle of Gaza with a new sewage pumping station in Al Mugraqa with support of £270,000 from the E.C. Humanitarian Office
As winter is approaching and with severe shortages of food and cooking gas, Welfare Association is appealing for support for its Child Nutrition Programme. It will provide a daily nutritious meal, prepared by local women NGOs and served in the kintergardens to young children throughout Gaza. Click here to support this appeal.
