My name is Nozomi, a Belgian/Japanese human rights activist. I’m raising a fund for a family in Gaza. While the fragile ceasefire holds, many families are still struggling to survive. The relief agencies face an enormous challenge and can't reach everybody yet. My friend Osama Abu Rajila, the father of the family, has always been a community organiser, and has helped many families in the displacement camp to survive between the bombing and starvation. He also took care of stranded and injured animals. This fundraising made it possible to help the community, and is still needed until the full relief and reconstruction efforts can reach there.

The funds have been used to buy foods, warm clothes, and a tent. Several meals were served to the families in the neighbourhood. As the ceasefire makes it possible for a partial reconstruction, future funds will be also used to restore a small desalination plant owned by one of the families to provide clean potable water and building of shelters. Such a local project is complementary to a larger scale of relief and reconstruction by the international relief agencies. Please help this local community to survive and to restore their life destroyed by the war!
