Connecting Gaza

Yesterday The Sameer Project did a special initiative. We delivered 150 food parcels, some including fresh vegetables, to families that have severely ill members and need nutritious food to fight their diseases and survive. The Ensan camp in Deir Al Balah homes cancer patients and those experiencing kidney failure. These individuals must remain physically strong to endure their treatments, when they are even available in Gaza. Each parcel was $52 after commission, while the toughest cases received parcels that were an additional $125 after commission, demonstrating just how expensive fresh food is now. Each $52 parcel contained: 2 cans of green peas, 2 cans of chickpeas, 2 cans of beans, 1 bottle of sauce, 1 kilo of lentils, 1 kilo of rice, 1 liter of cooking oil. We sourced: tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplant, courgettes, peppers, lemons, potatoes, spinach, and cauliflower for the 10 most serious cases. Bringing the total for these parcels up to $125. But this distribution was extra special to us because it was to honor the memory of two of our volunteers’ mother who passed away from cancer. She is so proud of her M boys that work tirelessly to support Gaza and contribute so much to the operations of The Sameer Project. Rest in beautiful Paradise, Shaheen ❤️
