Gaza Needs Aid

Over two million Palestinian civilians are enduring one of the world’s worst human-made humanitarian crises. Famine and disease are spreading as vital aid remains blocked. In the midst of this suffering, the Biden administration and Congress have suspended all U.S. funding for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA)—the largest aid provider in Gaza—until March 2025.

Join FCNL’s Quaker Changemaker Event on Wednesday, December 11 to learn how Quaker communities are continuing their advocacy in support of peace in Israel, Palestine, and across the Middle East. Over 80 meetings and churches have shared their public testimony that war is not the answer by minuting their concern. What’s more, Friends have used these statements in local and federal advocacy to advance the need for a ceasefire, humanitarian access, and peaceful resolutions in Israel-Palestine.
