TUC Aid is appealing for contributions to support emergency humanitarian relief for the people of Gaza following the offensive by the Israeli Army.
Over 500 people including many children have been killed in the military operations. Thousands of Palestinians in Gaza are in dire need of emergency aid - food, water and medicine. Many more have been made homeless as a result of the clashes between the Israeli Army and Hamas militiamen. Recent events have compounded the existing problems in Gaza which have left thousands unemployed and in dire need of essential supplies and regular power.
How to donate:
You can make an online donation to the appeal using our secure online facility, provided by JustGiving.com. Select the amount and choose the "Give for Gaza" appeal from the drop down menu.
You can also donate by cheque. All cheques should be drawn in favour of TUC Aid - Give for Gaza - and sent to TUC Aid, EUIRD, TUC, Congress House, Great Russell Street, London, WC1B 3LS.
Where your donation will go:
All proceeds will be forwarded through the Palestine General Federation of Trade Unions (PGFTU) and the International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF) to support emergency humanitarian relief operations carried out by them in Gaza. All trade union relief operations are co-ordinated through Red Crescent in Jordan, Egypt and Gaza and focused on the identified needs of the people affected by the events. The first ITF-PGFTU humanitarian flight is due to leave for Gaza on 08 Jan 2009. The TUC supports an immediate ceasefire by both sides, and the pursuit of a political solution to the problems of the Middle East based on two states.
