Our appeal for Gaza

On Saturday we launched an urgent appeal (at the direct request of our partner, Dr. Mona El Farra, from the Red Crescent) for £5,000 to purchase 12 wheelchairs.

We have already raised £6,000, which is being sent to Dr. El Farra today in Egypt, where she is working on the humanitarian efforts at the border. The wheelchairs will be taken into Gaza as soon as it is practical to do so. We
are continuing this appeal and we would like to ask those of you who have not yet contributed and would like to do so.
