Grassroots International’s Palestine Emergency Fund moves 100% of donations to trusted community-led organizations throughout Palestine, building on a 40-year legacy of partnering with local human rights defenders and providers of community-based emergency relief. Thus far, the fund has supported our local partners in providing:
- Emergency and specialized medical care reaching more than 1.27 million people, including via 80+ mobile teams
- Reproductive healthcare for more than 220,000 women
- Holistic mental health support for more than 400,000 people
- Hot meals, infant formula, and safe water for tens of thousands
- Additional lifesaving essentials including food, hygiene kits, clothing, firewood, and livestock feed
These are vital lifelines making survival possible amid violent attacks and forced starvation inflicted by the Israeli government. Our Palestinian partners also continue the critical work of documenting genocide and war crimes by the Israeli government, seeking justice, and organizing in a way that stays true to their long-term visions.
All funds raised will go to local partners and allies in Palestine. Read more below.
Your contributions will help us support courageous and trusted organizations in carrying out emergency response, human rights defense, healing justice work, and more. Efforts include:
- Distribution of food, water, and supplies: reaching displaced households with food, water, blankets, clothing, hygiene kits, and other essentials, as well as supporting farmers and fishers.
- Medical care: deploying mobile health care teams that are providing emergency health services, life-saving medications, sexual and reproductive health care, mental health services, and more.
- Specific attention to marginalized populations: organizing among women, children, and people with disabilities, among others, to ensure that their specific needs are met.
- Human rights defense: carrying out formal documentation, communications, and legal work to hold the Israeli government accountable for human rights violations, from the local to the international levels.
Please donate today so that this critical work can continue.
Amidst devastating circumstances, our Palestinian partners are rising to meet the needs of the moment, unwavering in their love for their people and their commitment to self-determination, social justice and ecological wellbeing. Now is the time to stand with them, so that they can continue saving lives and creating a path to a liberated future for all of us.
