Stand With Gaza – Help Us Provide New Clothes for Displaced Women in Gaza

Stand With Gaza is a volunteer humanitarian team founded in northern Gaza in 2019. Our mission has always been simple: to support families living in poverty and help them access food, clean water, and other basic necessities.

When the war on Gaza began in 2023, we continued our work despite the enormous challenges. We moved wherever people were displaced and in need, providing assistance to families in different areas of Gaza.

Today, our main focus is on 150 displaced families living in a displacement camp in Deir Al-Balah, while we also continue to support special cases in both northern and southern Gaza whenever we can.

What do we provide?

Our projects include both daily and regular humanitarian assistance.

Every day, we work to provide:

Clean drinking water for families in the camp.

Water for washing and essential household needs.

Hot meals for displaced families.

Our regular projects include:

Food parcels.

Fresh vegetable and fruit parcels.

Basic grocery supplies.

New clothes and shoes.

Medicines and other essential items.

The cost of providing these necessities has become extremely high. Depending on availability and market prices, a food, vegetable, fruit, or grocery parcel costs around $30–$50.

A 5,000-liter truck of clean drinking water costs approximately $400.

We generally need around $5,000 to carry out a new humanitarian project for the families in the camp.

Our current project: New clothes for displaced women

For families who have lost their homes and belongings, clothing may seem like a small need compared with food and water. But for women who have been displaced for months or years, having clean, new clothes to wear outside the tent is also part of living with dignity.

We decided to focus one of our projects on the women of the camp.

Instead of buying ready-made clothes, we are having new clothes made locally by a local tailor. This allows us to support both the displaced women and a local worker whose livelihood has also been affected by the war.

So far, we have managed to provide new clothes to approximately half of the women in the camp, at a total cost of around $3,500.

But the project is not finished.

There are still many women waiting for their turn.

Our goal now is to raise enough money to provide new clothes for the remaining women in the camp, so that every woman can receive something new and feel that she has not been forgotten.

Why your support matters

We do not want the families we support to simply survive.

We want them to live with dignity.

We want a mother to have clean clothes for herself.

We want children to have enough food and clean water.

We want displaced families to feel that someone, somewhere, still cares about them.

Our team is made up of volunteers on the ground. We rely mainly on the generosity of our friends in Norway and supporters from around the world to make these projects possible.

Every donation, no matter how small, can help us reach another woman, another family, another child.

If you cannot donate, please share this campaign with your friends and family and encourage them to help. Sharing the campaign can be just as important as donating because it helps us reach people who may be able to make a difference.

Please stand with Gaza.

Please stand with the families who have lost almost everything.

And please help us give them something they desperately need: basic necessities, support, and a little dignity.

❤️ Donate if you can. Share if you cannot. Every act of support matters.

Thank you for standing with us and standing with Gaza.

Om innsamler:

Jeg heter Ingrid Straumsnes. Jeg er en 51år gammel tobarnsmor som bor i Kristiansand. Jeg kom i kontakt med Stand with Gaza i forbindelse med en palestinsk kvinne som jeg ble kjent med på fb i november 2023. Hun heter Entemaa Nemo/Shalha og fikk medisinsk evakuering til Egypt for to år siden sammen med fire av fem barn. Det er fem personer i teamet. Jeg har mest kontakt med Rahaf Ahmed, men har også kontakt med Reenad Ahmed og Ahmed Shalha. Pengene som samles inn overføres via PayPal til teamets leder Ahmed Shalha. Både Spleis og PayPal tar et gebyr. Jeg pleier å dekke deler av gebyret. 

Tusen takk til deg som donerer og/ eller deler innsamlingen ❤️
