Email, my name is Yafa and I'm a community health worker with Ard-El-Insan, a partner of the International Rescue Committee in Gaza.
Every day at the nutrition point where I work, I see how quickly malnutrition can put a child's life at risk. Malnutrition isn't just hunger. It damages organs, delays development and weakens immunity. But when children can be screened and treated in time, recovery is possible.
The IRC delivers proven, lifesaving malnutrition treatments wherever the need is greatest. But right now, we urgently need your help to continue providing these lifesaving services to children in Gaza. When you make an emergency monthly donation now, your first monthly gift will go 5X as far to reach more children with the care they need to survive and begin to recover.
Here I am measuring 5 year-old Jamil's arm with mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) tape.
In the face of this, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. But Email, I've seen firsthand how your support can help the IRC provide treatment that saves lives. And right now your first monthly gift will be matched to make FIVE TIMES the impact. Here's how your generosity makes a difference on the ground:
| • |
$50 can purchase an 8-week course of therapeutic food for a child suffering from deadly hunger. |
| • |
$79 can provide a medical checkup for a child during an 8-week course of treatment for malnutrition. |
| • |
$92 can deliver emergency food for a family enduring the trauma of displacement. |
The work is not easy. Some days, reaching the nutrition point means walking long distances because transportation is so difficult. Still, I continue because I have seen children recover from malnutrition under our care. Every recovery gives me hope.
If you believe in the value of this work, I urge you to give as generously as you can today. Your monthly support makes lifesaving treatment like this possible—and right now your first gift will be matched to make FIVE TIMES the impact.
With gratitude for your commitment and support,
Yafa
