Emergency Assistance, Shared Resistance - Summer Campaign

Emergency Assistance, Shared Resistance

This summer, help us raise $75,000 by August 31 to protect human rights, co-resist violence and occupation, and unite Palestinians, Israelis, and international allies building a future of justice and shared humanity. Your generosity will empower four urgent initiatives:

1. Support orphaned children from Gaza as they prepare for the new school year
2. Provide emergency aid to families forcibly displaced by Israeli military invasions in Tulkarem
3. Ensure access to clean water and defend communities in the Jordan Valley threatened by land seizure and settler violence
4. Strengthen the emotional resilience of nonviolent activists resisting systemic violence

The Crisis

In Gaza, starvation has reached catastrophic levels after months of violent siege, bombardment, and mass displacement. Families go days without food due to the Israeli blockade. Children are dying from forced starvation. Aid is blocked. Across the globe, people of conscience grieve as the entire population is pushed toward annihilation. At the same time, around 50 Israeli hostages remain in captivity, with roughly 20 believed to be alive. Their families are in agony, pleading for a government response that prioritizes their return. The hostages’ captivity is a deep wound in Israeli society. People of conscience across the globe ache as we witness man-made policies prioritize political gain over human life. With all eyes on Gaza and the hostages still held, occupation violence is rapidly intensifying across the West Bank like we’ve never witnessed before. Israeli military invasions and settler attacks have displaced entire communities. Road closures and checkpoints cut off access to hospitals, schools, and markets. Homes are torched, water poisoned, and families forced to flee. We at Combatants for Peace are responding — we will meet this moment with urgent care, shared resistance, and unshakable solidarity. But we can’t do it alone. We need your help. Together, we can:

1. Support Orphaned Children from Gaza

More than 60,000 have been killed by Israel in Gaza, including thousands of children. Some of the youngest survivors, now orphaned, have been brought to Bethlehem, where they are receiving care. We’re helping them start the school year with dignity, providing school bags, clothing, lunchboxes, and other essentials. Your support sends a message that the world has not forgotten them.

2. Emergency Aid in Tulkarem

In the Tulkarem refugee camp, Israeli military invasions have demolished homes and displaced over 18,000 people, including our own Palestinian activists. CfP is distributing food, diapers, formula, and supplies to families made homeless overnight. In the U.S., we will lead an advocacy campaign to draw attention to the injustice.

3. Clean Water in the Jordan Valley

In the Jordan Valley, water is being weaponized. While Israeli settlements enjoy full access, Palestinian communities are denied permits to drill wells or repair cisterns. We're delivering water tanks to families facing settler violence and state-enforced drought, resisting displacement by helping them remain on their land with dignity and hope.

4. Emotional Resilience for Nonviolent Resistance

Sustaining this movement requires more than courage, it requires intentional care. Palestinian and Israeli activists are working under extreme emotional and physical pressure as well as threats to their safety. CfP is providing peer-led support, community care, and trauma-informed workshops. These are vitally important to keep our movement alive and to sustain this crucial work.

We need you. In unthinkable times like these, hope is a radical act, and so is solidarity. Your donation today will support Palestinians and Israelis on the frontlines of co-resistance, who are not only responding to injustice but embodying the solution. They are not waiting for peace and justice to be handed down: they are modeling it into existence.

Will you stand with those taking action for humanity and building the foundation for a just and liberated future?
