The Rebuilding Alliance Board and team ask your help to purchase food and medicine for Gaza

Please Donate Now

As I write, the Nasrallah family (the family Rachel Corrie sought to protect form the IDF bulldozer that threatened them and their Rafah home) is arranging to bring a first truckload of food and medicine through the Egyptian checkpoints into Rafah Gaza, for distribution to Rafah's Nongovernmental Organizations. Our partners at the Gaza Community Mental Health Programme (GCMHP) are working with them to purchase a specific list of medicines.

Will you help us raise $5000 for food and medical supplies? Khaled Nasrallah, who many of you met when he and his wife and daughter joined Cindy and Craig Corrie on their U.S. speaking tour, is coordinating logistics. Husam El Nounou and the medical team at GCMHP have given them a list of the medicines and supplies they need.

Khaled and Husam say the situation is very difficult with the border likely to close in a couple of days. Palestinians can go no further in Egypt than Al Arish, and are barricaded from entering the rest of the country. Prices in Egypt have skyrocketed as stores sold-out. In the meantime, the Nasrallahs (who parents still live in Egypt) are drawing upon their friends and family in Alexandria to cross through the Egyptian checkpoints with food and medicine.

Anything you can give would be sincerely appreciated. All funds will go for purchase of food and medicine. Please Donate Now

Sincerely,
Donna Baranski-Walker
