Amidst the challenges and uncertainties faced by many Palestinian families enduring ongoing conflict and displacement, hope has found a new form. With gifts from supporters like you, a UNFPA mobile safe space has become a beacon of hope for women like Ayat, Lama, and Samira.
If you can today, please make a gift to ensure our mobile safe spaces remain a lifeline for women and girls in rural Palestine, and wherever they’re needed most. [[link removed]?]
KEEP MOBILE SAFE SPACES RUNNING [[link removed]?]
Ayat , a mother of four and expecting her next child, explains how the new UNFPA mobile safe space brought care closer to her family: “If we want to see a doctor, we have to go to the city. For that, you need a private taxi, which costs 60 or 70 ILS." For Ayat, the mobile unit also fosters community. “Now we can meet and become close. We live a stressful life, and we need psychosocial support.”

Ayat speaks during a community gathering, sharing her hopes for better support and connection for women in her village.
The dire situation in the West Bank is exacerbated by the lack of permanent education and health services. With over 230,000 women and girls facing limited access to reproductive health care, the need for safety and support is critical.
Lama , another young mother, is hopeful her one-year-old daughter can get the medical attention she needs: “Jouri has an ear infection, and I have to wait for the doctor to come here, which is usually once a week, to get her treatment. I hope the safe space will change that.”

Lama holds her daughter Jouri, who is struggling with an untreated ear infection because of the lack of access to healthcare.
Samira , head of the community’s Women’s Protection Committee, shared the importance of this lifesaving work: “The safe space gives us hope that someone sees us and hears us and cares. This is not just a safe space but a place to speak freely, laugh, and even cry together without shame.”

A new safe space in the community provides women and girls with a secure, accessible place to seek support and services close to home.
These safe spaces are lifelines providing essential medical services, empowerment, and a sense of community. UNFPA is expanding its reach in this rural community and other locations in the West Bank, but our growth depends on the support we receive from people like you.
Will you help sustain these vital UNFPA safe spaces and extend our reach to more women and girls in need in Palestine? Every dollar donated brings us closer to a world where women and girls can live free from fear and with the dignity they deserve.
Please consider making a gift today to support our lifesaving efforts. Anything you can give makes a life-changing difference for women and girls in need in Palestine and beyond. [[link removed]?]
MAKE A LIFESAVING GIFT [[link removed]?]
We condemn the violence in Gaza, the West Bank, and Israel, and hope for a sustained humanitarian ceasefire, the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages by Hamas, and an end to the violence. The suffering must end, and peace must prevail.
Thank you for your compassion and action.
