John—
In Gaza, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) is working around the clock with Palestinian partners to alleviate suffering and save lives.
The IRC's Vice President of Emergency Programs, Bob Kitchen, recently visited Gaza. We wanted to share his video message with you.
The level of destruction and suffering in Gaza right now is unprecedented. But thanks to kind supporters like you, we are making a real impact. ⬇️
"The IRC is working around the clock, alongside incredible Palestinian partners, to do everything we can to save lives."
—Bob Kitchen, IRC
Because of your support, we're making a massive difference on the ground.
→ We have been providing nearly 10% of all surgeries in Gaza through our Emergency Medical Teams in partnership with Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP). To date, we have provided at least 384 surgeries and 1,243 consultations.
→ We distributed fresh food parcels to 3,450 families, in partnership with Taawon between January and February, and are currently distributing more food parcels in partnership with Agriculture for Development (PARC).
→ We've launched six mobile community centers offering mental health and psychosocial support to children and families in Gaza and the West Bank.
All of these efforts are only possible with the support of people like you. The IRC is committed to continuing to save lives in Gaza and other crisis zones, and plans to scale programming as soon as a ceasefire is in place. Thank you again.
