Gaza Emergency Relief Fund

Thank you for your generosity. Your support was pivotal in helping families in Gaza during the war.

During this time, Rebuilding Alliance carried out several key initiatives to assist families, including:

• Our hot meals program, run in partnership with the World Food Programme (WFP), served a total of 22.4 million meals

• The Winter Relief Program, launched in the winter of 2024, providing warm clothes and shoes to 7,664 individuals— our goal was to reach 1000 families and we did more

• Distribution of 996 food parcels to families with malnourished children (being treated by physicians at Ard El Insan), through the summer as famine was declared 

• Assistance with evacuation for families, staff, and CBO partners by covering transportation costs, tents, and tarps
  
  
• Driving mobile generators to pump the only potable wells in Gaza back when this year’s first ceasefire took place Jan-March 18, 2025

These initiatives were made possible through the dedication of our staff in Gaza and our community-based organization (CBO) partners, who worked under life-threatening and challenging conditions to bring relief to others. Our staff members received modest salaries for their efforts and from March 1-May 31, 2025 we paid all the staffing stipends for our CBO Partners while we kept the kitchens open under an ad-hoc food distribution from the WFP — and we fell short. Costs were higher than donations so we are paying these bills on monthly installments. 

To assure that we never fall behind again, we created the Gaza GivingCart project to allow donors to choose the parcel they are gifting.

As our teams visit families to assess their needs, it is heartbreaking to see the new emergencies. The cold, windy winter was entirely predictable. Rebuilding Alliance has an immediate shelter solution and also a transition Gaza Baytna House that uses rubble as the primary construction material. Our Board members are flying to meet with the U.S. Ambassador’s team in Jerusalem next week— we’re pressing forward with prototype shelter construction, and we’ll go to full production as soon as possible. 

Thank you for all that you do.
