Villa Park Emergency Fundraiser for Palestine Humanitarian Crisis
A United Nations official has called the humanitarian crisis in Gaza "absolutely disastrous."
Over a thousand people have been killed during the recent crisis and thousands more injured.
Doctors in Gaza are struggling to treat the injured and are lacking essential medical supplies.
The humanitarian situation is deteriorating by the day. For several days there has been no electricity or fuel for stand-by generators. Many of the already limited services like water and sewage are no longer functioning. There are also severe food shortages around Gaza.
Islamic Relief has launched a multi-million dollar appeal to ease the suffering from the ongoing humanitarian crisis. Islamic Relief's already established office and staff in Gaza have provided much-needed medicines and food aid to the victims.
Your help is urgently needed. Please attend the emergency dinner for Gaza to help bring relief to the victims.
"I've met families who are resorting to boiling weeds that they've dug out from the ground in order to feed their families," said Islamic Relief's staff member, Hatem Shurrab, in Gaza.
You can help provide relief for those waiting for your help in Gaza, please attend this important event.
