"from the Besieged Farmer to the Needy Family" Campaign in Gaza Strip

Maintain the Steadfastness of Palestinians on their National Soil by Buying the Agricultural Products in Gaza
As a Result of the Israeli Military aggression, Public Health in Gaza has been Drastically Affected by the Following:

Over 90,000 families have no safe drinking water supplies.

Damage to infrastructure and pollution and destruction of agricultural lands

80,000 children may have psychological problems as a result of fear of bombing

power cuts in 200,000 houses, including in 22 hospitals

Over 30,000 Palestinians live in inhuman conditions at the Rafah crossing.

More than 30 thousand children are suffering from chronic malnutrition due to shortage of food stuff and the pollution of their water sources.

70% of civilians in Gaza are unable to provide their daily food without the aid of others.

Campaign Progress

The project was successfully completed for the present season during the period from 1/8/ to 30/8/2006. The implementing party distributed 1640 food baskets to 1640 needy families. The basket contained fresh locally produced vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumber, potatoes and eggplants; fruits like grapes in addition to olive oil, egg, cheese, thyme, dried spiced thyme (dokka) and maftool

The activity, which combined the sincere efforts of the institutions and committees of the civil community, covered all the governorates of Gaza Strip. The campaign reinforced the principles of social integration and self sustainability in face of the severe impoverishment suffered by the majority of Gaza population due to the siege and war waged against them. Also, the campaign contributed significantly to raising the farmers’ morale and strengthened their productive role in mitigating the citizens’ agony.
