Read about Playgrounds for Palestine aid to Gaza’s children:
“Playgrounds for Palestine is doing all in its power for the families and children in Gaza facing the unimaginable. All donations and proceeds from the sale of oil, za’atar, and soap are currently going to Gaza relief.
In the shadow of an ongoing genocide, displacement, hunger, thirst, lack of adequate shelter, injuries, infections, and profound trauma, Palestinians are doing their best to care for one another, and we have been doing our best to help them.
Our initiatives, though modest, continue to uplift young lives. This is a snapshot of what we’ve done in the past few months.

Some of these activities were begun by our founder Susan Abulhawa in Gaza, and she can attest to the important and positive impact on children and their families.”
With love from all of us at Playgrounds for Palestine
