Project HOPE

Dear Friend,

I write to you from Gaza, where every day I meet mothers arriving at our clinics with children who have nothing to eat.

Ilham is one of them. She came holding her baby, Nour, who is just 10 months old. All three of her children are suffering from hunger and health issues, but as the youngest, Nour is the most vulnerable. “Seeing my daughter hungry and having no food to give her breaks my heart. I feel powerless,” Ilham said.

As a lactating mother, Ilham’s own health has been severely affected by the lack of food, which in turn has impacted her ability to nourish her baby.

RUSH AN EMERGENCY DONATION

Nour's tiny body shows what famine really means. And she is not alone. Every week, hundreds of children are brought to our health centers with the same desperate need. Mothers tell me they have gone days without food. Fathers tell me they can no longer provide for their families.

This is what famine looks like. Tragically, 132,000 children under 5 are at risk of death from malnutrition. One in 3 people are going without food for days at a time. For many children, the only food they eat in a day is our therapeutic nutritional supplements.

I wish I could tell you that we have all the resources we need to meet this crisis. But we do not. That is why I am asking you, from my heart: Will you rush a lifesaving gift to Project HOPE today? Every dollar you give can help save lives and bring urgently need aid to people in Gaza and around the world, wherever the need is greatest.

RUSH AN EMERGENCY DONATION

Your generosity and compassion makes it possible for our doctors and nurses to treat children like Nour and to help families like Ilham’s. I cannot promise the suffering will end soon — but I can promise you this: Project HOPE will not give up. And with your help, neither will I.

Thank you for standing with Project HOPE and people in Gaza in this darkest hour.
