Yes, our activities are ongoing, and so are our fundraising efforts. Unfortunately, it looks like it will continue for a while as the mental health impact on children in Gaza is immense, beyond anyone's ability to grasp.

What has changed is that since the Rafah invasion in May, the team had to leave Rafah and the Children’s Village took a different shape. Our team has been operating in Khan Younis and Deir AlBalah.

We are currently working on moving into Phase II which will include more focused trauma relief work with children.

Israel’s brutal aggression has made it impossible for anyone to enter or exit Gaza. The Egyptian Rafah crossing was destroyed. Gaza has been under military siege by Isarel since 2007. Only a limited number of people used to be able to get out every day.

The situation is very dire. Despite it all, our team on the ground runs programs every day. There are many ways in which you can get involved.

The donations are now primarily used for running the children's village activities. Besides getting supplies and equipment for the activities, which have become scarce and expensive, most of the funds are going towards stipends for our team members on the ground.

Almost everyone who was working lost their job, their office, their livelihoods and we are proud to be able to, for now, at least offer a little compensation.

We are in the process of starting a community center for displaced Gazan children in Egypt.

Yes, it will. Although we cannot predict exactly what the situation will be after this genocical aggression, particularly in terms of physical location, we will continue to adapt to the circumstances and support our children in the best way we can.

Interventions such as the Children's Village and the provision of pyscho social support for children are going to be necessary beyond this acute and brutal aggression. As long as the need is there, we will be actively engaged.

This will be in collaboration with existing local groups and NGOs.

Everything in Gaza has become scarce, and prices have soared. Basic goods are hard to find and those that are still available are expensive. This is the case for everything, as not much comes in, and obviously, the most important is to get in medical supplies, food and essential items. Of course, by now, petty things like paper and colours are also running out and have become much more expensive. Some things, like face paint, are no longer available. But our team is creative, they make a plan and use what they can find for their activities.

In the beginning of the aggression, PHRC founder Awni Farhat worked with the Egyptian Red Cross in Cairo to purchase and transfer medical supplies with the team from Egypt through to Rafah during the temporary ceasefire back in November. Now Medical supplies enter Gaza primarily through international aid organizations and United Nations agencies.

There are many ways you can help. You can talk about us, share our website, follow us on Instagram and share our stories and posts, or sign up for our newsletter to receive updates on our work. That's where we'll also let you know if there are any other ways to support.

In Gaza, our team consists of a group of professionals in their field. Each of our team members has experience working with children, we have martial arts and circus professionals, gymnasts, artists, health education teachers, and musicians.

In addition to the Gaza-based team, there is a remote team working from outside of Gaza which focuses on fundraising, social media, and management.
