AusRelief are currently working with organisations in Gaza to help provide urgent medicine and medical supplies, trauma surgery and emergency medical treatment as well as providing struggling families with food packs and hot meals. In addition, they are raising funds for a fully equipped ambulance to be given to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society to help alleviate some of the pressure Palestinians are currently facing.
The closure of Gaza limits access to educational, economic and other opportunities, medical care, clean water and electricity for the nearly 2 million Palestinians who live there.
Eighty percent of Gaza’s population depend on international humanitarian aid.
