A CALL FOR ACTION

GAZA IS IN A HUMANITARIAN AND ENVIRONMENTAL CRISIS

Following the end of the fighting and massive destruction in Gaza, a major initiative to rebuild infrastructure and housing will be required by the international community.

This will take months to plan and years to implement.

The essential supply of water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) and energy services for 2.2 million Palestinians in Gaza cannot wait.

ABOUT THE COALITION

Jumpstarting Hope in Gaza represents a coalition of NGOs with expert knowledge & experience in Gaza and trusted technology partners with effective, ready-to-scale off-grid solutions.
