Since 7 October 2023, more than 50,000 Palestinians have been killed and 113,000 injured, according to Gaza’s Ministry of Health. Not a single hospital in the Gaza Strip is fully functional. This lack of essential infrastructure and daily bombardments are now coupled with a total blockade on aid imposed by Israel on 2 March. Without any trucks entering Gaza, people are now entirely deprived of basic necessities; there is no electricity, limited access to water, and medicines are running out.

If I can raise £1000 for Medical Aid for Palestinians by 16th May I will run from the north edge of Dartmoor, to the South, covering 32 miles in a day. The furthest I have ever run in one day is 16 miles, so it will be quite a challenege to double that figure to 32 miles. Please give generously to support the valuable work Medical Aid for Palestinians are doing in Gaza.
