Union Aid Abroad-APHEDA is raising money for people affected by the conflict in Gaza.

Its partner organisation MA’AN Development Centre will work with local organisations to provide access to water, food, medical supplies and shelter; psychosocial support; and dignity and hygiene kits for displaced people. Members can go to www.apheda.org.au to donate.

In a statement, APHEDA said, “There has been horrific violence against civilians inside the State of Israel and in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, by both state and semi- state forces. These are grave breaches of international humanitarian law, and the hostilities must end immediately.”
