clipped from www.madre.org Palestine: Gaza Emergency Relief, Project Update - Zakher Association Posted on: Wednesday, May 13, 2009 Keywords: Palestine, Israel, Peace Building, Middle East, Emergency Relief Shortly after the Israeli ground offensive in Gaza began in January of 2009, the Zakher Association, a Gazan women’s rights organization, reached out to MADRE to request emergency relief for the women and families in the communities where the organization works. For the 1.5 million people of Gaza, the situation had become desperate. Working from our well-established Emergency & Disaster Relief Fund, MADRE was able to respond immediately.
