Translating Falasteen (Palestine), in collaboration with The Sameer Project, launched a fundraising campaign to support families in Gaza facing severe hardships. Our mission is to provide essential aid to those who need it most, especially families with specific and urgent needs. The aid is bought from existing products in the market and is NOT being brought in through any border.

With your generous donations, we've done the following since the start of the campaign in mid June 2024 (last updated August 9th, 2024):

504,000 liters of fresh and tested water provided for north Gaza (Test took place on 08.08.2024 - please check that update)
36 community kitchens organized and 4319 families fed with our community kitchens (since mid June)
449 children treated in 3 Free Medical Treatment Days organized
Around 20,000 USD given in cash aid
1650 packs of diapers and 500 tins of baby formula distributed in displacement schools, camps, and to select families in need.
+ other activities such as Eid campaigns, food packages, miscellaneous initiatives (all mentioned below)

- Total Spent thus far in USD: $130,750.43 USD (last updated August 9th, 2024 - breakdowns are below and each day is registered in the Updates)

Our focus currently has been on the north of Gaza, due to the lack of humanitiarian aid efforts there and the starvation that part of the Strip is going through.


We are currently providing community kitchens and/or water trucks EVERY SINGLE DAY in the north of Gaza!
