"Inspired by recent fundraising efforts by people in the confines of their own home and garden, we have decided to go ahead with our own fundraising "event'; to support MAP (Medical Aid for Palestinians) We had planned our annual walk on 17th May, but have now decided to ask people to do an individual activity instead. It can be absolutely anything - part of your daily exercise, baking, gardening - anything at all. This means anyone can join us on the day. All we ask is that you make a donation to our Just Giving page and that you post a comment telling us what you did.
MAP (Medical Aid for Palestinians) has an emergency appeal for Gaza and other areas right now and we want to support that. Here is some text from that appeal:
Medical Aid for Palestinians is working hard to respond to and prevent the further spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus) in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt) and Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon and ensure health workers there have access to the protective equipment they desperately need.
Currently, as of 16 April 2020, there are 291 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the oPt and sadly two deaths, with 278 cases and two deaths in the West Bank, and 13 cases in Gaza. In Lebanon there are 658 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 21 deaths.
Responding to the urgent need to prevent the further spread of the disease in Gaza, this week MAP delivered 1,160L of disinfectant alcohol gel worth $20,000 to the Central Drug Store. Last week, we provided 150 hygiene kits worth $7,500 to the Palestinian Medical Relief Society in Gaza who have distributed to vulnerable families with members with disabilities.
Please join us on 17th May, please make a donation to our Just Giving page and please share this post as widely as you can."
