Humanitarian Aid

Since the start of the second intifada in October 2000, many Palestinian villages and towns have faced a humanitarian crisis. Now, a few years later, the situation in many towns and villages remains desperate, due to high unemployment and poverty. The building of Israel’s "security barrier", the continued presence of multiple military road blocks that prevent freedom of movement to fields, jobs, schools and hospitals are factors in creating a very difficult situation, especially for the inhabitants of remote villages.

The residents of NSWAS have been organizing projects to help alleviate the suffering. We have raised money for the distribution of food and medicines and are conducting medical treatment days in towns and villages. These projects are based on voluntary work by physicians, medical personnel and others.

We wish to continue with similar treatment days in additional Palestinian towns and villages. A committee has been formed in the village to identify sources of need.

NSWAS is interested to receive monetary donations and donations in kind in order to further this work. All funds will be used to purchase essential items such as medicines and food. We will ensure that assistance is rendered to those who are in genuine need.
