Dear Esteemed Donors, supporters, and fellow change makers,

We are reaching out with a heartfelt update on our projects in Gaza and the challenges we are navigating during this deeply difficult time. The ongoing crisis has made it impossible to determine when we will be able to resume our work on the ground. Our partners at the Jabalia Rehabilitation Society (JRS), who have been instrumental in managing our operations, are currently enduring unimaginable conditions—facing bombardment and displacement as they seek safety amidst escalating violence. Our thoughts are with them and all those affected by this devastation.

In the midst of this uncertainty, our immediate priority is ensuring the safety of our team. We are actively working to locate our teammates and confirm their well-being. This is a time of great concern, and we are doing everything in our power to support them through this harrowing period. 

To our cherished donors, we remain steadfastly committed to transparency and gratitude for your trust. While we navigate these unprecedented challenges, we continue to raise funds for our Rebuilding Hope initiative. However, given the current situation, we are thoughtfully considering how best to honor your contributions. If you would kindly allow us, we can either safeguard your donations until we are able to resume operations in Gaza, which we hope is very soon, or redirect them to other critical initiatives in regions where we have partnerships, such as Uganda and Egypt. These funds would go toward life-changing programs like orphan care, clean water access, and emergency relief efforts led by trusted NGOs.

The safety of our team remains our top priority, alongside our commitment to upholding the values and impact you entrust us with through your generosity. We deeply appreciate your continued support during this uncertain time and want to assure you that we are doing everything possible to ensure your contributions create meaningful, lasting impact—whether in Gaza or in other areas of urgent need.

Thank you for standing by us as we navigate this evolving situation. We will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available. Until then, all funds are being held securely in their respective accounts. If you would prefer a refund for your vital contribution, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected].

With heartfelt gratitude,
The Aid4Gaza Team
