There is a lot of noise right now about where to turn for information on how to contribute and make a difference in Gaza. Shekinah House Organisation is a social enterprise that unlocks access to meaningful, purpose-led work for impact-driven women and creatives. This is a time for humanity to come together.

According to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) platform, two out of three famine thresholds have been reached in Gaza: plummeting food consumption and acute malnutrition.

Here are some of the key insights: 

• Children at risk – Over 20,000 treated for acute malnutrition; 16 deaths reported
• Infrastructure collapse – 70 per cent of Gaza’s infrastructure destroyed
• Displacement crisis – “Safe zones” now cover less than 12 per cent of the Strip

The Palestine Children’s Relief Fund offers free medical care to injured and ill children in Palestine, including Gaza, who lack local access to care within the existing healthcare system. The Palestine Children’s Relief Fund holds a 4-star rating from Charity Navigator and a Silver Seal of Transparency from GuideStar.  

The PCRF is a legally-registered non-political, non-profit, 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization established in 1991 by concerned people to address the medical and humanitarian needs of Palestinian and Arab youths in the Middle East. We have provided thousands of children life-saving care based on their need, not on religion, gender, nationality or sect.

The main objective of the PCRF is to identify and treat every child in the Middle East in need of specialized surgery not available to them locally. We locate, sponsor and run international, volunteer medical missions to the Middle East, in additional to locating free medical care abroad for children who cannot be adequately treated in the Middle East. The PCRF  is the main organization regularly sending injured and sick Arab children to North and South America, the Middle East and Europe for free care that is not available to them there. Since 1991 over 1,000 children have been abroad for millions of dollars of donated care, and over 10,000 have had complex surgery by our visiting medical missions to the region. The PCRF has been awarded the top 4-star rating by Charity Navigator for fiscal management, while being able to treat more kids than any other charity in the Middle East.
