Gaza Emergency Appeal

Please help Welfare Association to respond to the emergency in Gaza, where hospitals are struggling to treat the rapidly rising numbers of injured people arriving each hour.

As Israel’s military bombardment of Gaza continues, hundreds of Palestinians are injured and thousands of families have been displaced.

Please support our Emergency Appeal for Gaza, help us to provide:

• Medical supplies to hospitals
• Fuel for ambulances and medical facilities
• Water, food, clothing, bedding, to thousands of displaced families

WA has already been able to provide the emergency unit of two hospitals in South Gaza with beds, equipment and medications.

WA teams’ interventions in Gaza to date:
