Vault Artists Jacob, John, Laura, Niamh and Sally are taking part in the Belfast Marathon this May as a relay team fundraising for the Palestine Red Crescent Society in response to the shocking killing of eight of its medics in Rafah. They were targeted by the Israeli occupation forces while performing their humanitarian duties as they were heading to the Hashashin area of ​​Rafah to provide first aid to a number of people injured by Israeli shelling in the area. A ninth medic remains missing. PRCS also recovered the bodies of six members of the civil defense and one UN staff from the same area.

The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) is an officially recognized independent Palestinian National Society. It enjoys legal personality and is part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. The Society, which operates in Palestine and the diaspora, is guided by the Geneva Conventions and the Movement’s Fundamental Principles, i.e. Humanity, Impartiality, Neutrality, Independence, Voluntary Service, Unity and Universality.

Please donate to our fundraiser if you are able. No donation is too small. Thank you.
