We have witnessed the destruction of Gaza through the bombardment and blockades, resulting in the lives of innocent people being destroyed. Homes, schools, and crucial public supplies have been decimated; families are starving, in need of food and urgent medical care.
We hope to raise money to help the people of Gaza try and get out of this humanitarian crisis by providing vital aid.

This crisis won’t go away in just a few weeks - it will take years to rebuild peoples lives. We need to do what we can to help the people of Gaza now. Look at the figures:
More than 1,300 Palestinians killed
More than 4,000 buildings destroyed in
Gaza
More than 20,000 buildings severely damaged
More than 50,000 Gazans homeless
More than 400,000 without running water
These are the reasons why we (Syed, Nazrul and Mohammed) have decided to run the ‘ Manchester 10k Run’ to raise funds. This will be a challenge for us as it is our first ever official run that we will take part in.
