Israel's ban on UNRWA must be stopped
The Israeli Knesset recently passed two laws that ban the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) – the primary provider of assistance to Palestinians.
The bills prohibit UNRWA from operating or providing services in any territory controlled by Israel and ban any communication between the Israeli government and UNRWA.
Goals for Gaza
Show your solidarity with #GoalsForGaza
Palestinian children and young adults have long found joy and solace in playing soccer and following international soccer clubs, but over the past 6 months, Israeli bombs and attacks on Gaza have shattered communities, displacing, disabling, and orphaning many young players.
In solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza, several teams around the world held or are holding matches, raising money for humanitarian aid and advocating for the rights and well-being of Palestinian children and communities.
Kites for Gaza
In 2011, more than 12,000 children in Gaza flew kites on the beach, setting a new world record for most kites flown simultaneously. Devastatingly, more children have been killed in the first five months of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza than flew kites in 2011.
6 ways you can support Palestinians in Gaza
Many people of conscience are looking for ways to support Palestinians in Gaza as violence continues to escalate. On Oct. 7, a Hamas-led attack on Israel killed at least 1,200 Israelis and took an estimated 200 hostages. Israel immediately launched attacks on Gaza. After months of bombardment, Israeli attacks have killed more than 37,000 Palestinians in Gaza and displaced nearly 2 million from their homes.
Donate to support Gaza emergency response
Mounting violence has created a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where many have been displaced. More than two million people are cut off with no clean water, electricity, or other basic needs.
Your emergency donation is urgently needed today to bring humanitarian relief and support ongoing efforts to stop the violence, address its root causes, and build conditions for peace.

Lift Up Voices From Gaza
We need your help to further their message.
AFSC has partnered with an organization called Al-Wedad in Gaza, who have organized a group of young Gazans to share tweets, videos, memes, gifs and other messages over social media between 12:15pm and 2:15pm EST on Tuesday, July 18. Their goal is to give voice to people in Gaza, focusing on the impacts of the blockade on everyday life. Our goal is to help those messages be heard here in the U.S.
