According to the World Health Organisation, 90% of Gaza’s citizens have limited access to potable water.
Water flowing from taps is intermittent at best and contains a high salt content. This salty water is really not fit for human consumption, yet when desperate and because of water and electricity cuts, Palestinians in Gaza have no choice but to consume this water, giving rise to illness.
Families depend on bottled water for consumption, but many are unable to afford the additional cost.
The most appropriate solution was to develop desalination plants. Safe, potable water is made available for collection by the public or, for those too remotely located, Gift of the Givers delivers water in tankers.
Gift of the Givers response includes: Water tankers and desalination plants
In August, our teams in Palestine continued delivering essential humanitarian support to communities across Gaza, responding to urgent needs while helping sustain critical services.Throughout the month, interventions included water pipeline extensions, municipal vehicle maintenance, chicken and fresh produce distributions, hot meals, baby milk and essential supplies, as well as market coupon support that enabled families to access everyday necessities.Behind every intervention is a family facing extraordinary circumstances — and a continued commitment to stand with the people of Palestine with practical, dignified assistance.Swipe through our August Monthly Highlights for a glimpse of the work delivered with your support.🟢 How you can help Palestine: Bank: Standard Bank Branch: Pietermaritzburg Account Number: 052278611 Branch Code: 057525 Reference: "Palestine"🟢 BackaBuddy https://www.backabuddy.co.za/champion/project/bringing-hope-to-gaza-amid-turmoil🟢 GlobalGiving https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/palestine-emergency-relief🌐 Online donation: https://giftofthegivers.org/online-payment/When making a donation, please use Palestine as your reference.#GiftoftheGivers #SouthAfrica #MiddleEast #ForTheGreaterGood #Palestine #Gaza #HumanitarianAid #HungerAlleviation #WaterProvision #HumanDevelopment #HealthcareSupport #FoodSupport #BabyMilkDistribution #MarketCouponSupport #HotMeals #MonthlyHighlights #HumanityInAction
Our team in Gaza is extending a water pipeline to improve access for displaced families living in camps.With much of Gaza’s water infrastructure damaged by the ongoing war, many families are forced to walk long distances to collect water. The new pipeline will bring water closer to the camps, helping reduce this daily burden and improve access to an essential resource.🟢 How you can help Palestine: Bank: Standard Bank Branch: Pietermaritzburg Account Number: 052278611 Branch Code: 057525 Reference: "Palestine"🟢 Backabuddy https://www.backabuddy.co.za/champion/project/bringing-hope-to-gaza-amid-turmoil🟢 GlobalGiving https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/palestine-emergency-relief🌐 Online donation: https://giftofthegivers.org/online-payment/When making a donation, use the country's name as a reference.#GiftoftheGivers #SA #SouthAfrica #MiddleEast #MakeADifference #ForTheGreaterGood #Palestine #WaterProvision #Gaza #CleanWater #HumanitarianAid #DisplacementCamps
In Gaza’s displacement camps, families caring for members with special needs face added daily challenges. At Al Wadi Al Khair camp, our team provided a tent and installed a toilet facility for one family. This support helps meet basic living needs where space, privacy, and essential services are limited. Our teams continue prioritising vulnerable families affected by displacement across Gaza.Donation Details: 🟢 How you can help Palestine: Bank: Standard Bank Branch: Pietermaritzburg Account Number: 052278611 Branch Code: 057525 Reference: "Palestine"🟢 Backabuddy https://www.backabuddy.co.za/champion/project/bringing-hope-to-gaza-amid-turmoil🟢 GlobalGiving https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/palestine-emergency-relief🌐 Online donation: https://giftofthegivers.org/online-payment/When making a donation, use the country's name as a reference.#GiftoftheGivers #SA #SouthAfrica #MiddleEast #MakeADifference #ForTheGreaterGood #Palestine #Gaza #WaterProvision #ShelterSupport #DisplacedFamilies #DisplacementCamps #HumanitarianAid #GazaRelief #FamilySupport
