The Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF) is the primary humanitarian organization dedicated to providing critical and life-saving medical relief and humanitarian aid to those who need it most. In a region where access to fundamental resources such as food, clean water, and healthcare is alarmingly limited, there's an urgent call for action. PCRF's mission is to ensure that over one million innocent children in Gaza receive the immediate care they not only need but wholeheartedly deserve.
​
Nearly half, specifically 47.3%, of Gaza's population comprises children under the age of 18. These children should not be casualties of conflicts they have no part in. It's a shared belief that, regardless of one's perspective on the situation, there should never be a circumstance in which innocent lives, especially the lives of young children who have yet to truly experience life, are lost in the midst of conflicts they didn't choose.
​
By supporting PCRF's vital work, we want to not only address an immediate humanitarian crisis but also want to emphasize the importance of valuing innocent lives, peace, and the future we envision. Your support can make a tangible difference in the lives of these children, bringing hope and healing to a region that so desperately needs it.
