[] Hawara-Enabous neads pita's with the olives
We want to send them a truck-load of flour
In these days it's not enough to speak out and protest - and feel frustrated
that the worldwide protests didn't succeed to prevent the war.
Nor is it enough to create - as we are doing - a worldwide Emergency
Network to Protect the Palestinian People - for the most efficient and
speedy dissemination of any sign of ethnic cleansing - though that effort
has the highest priority.
There is also the ongoing problem of Palestinians to get to the next day.
Inhabitants of Hawara-Enabous south of Nablus, in the West Bank, asked
us to help them by sending them food. Because of closures and curfews
these people already are barely subsisting. Now there is the panick that
things can turn even worse. As villagers, they do have oil - we ourselves
helped the in Enabous during the olive harvest. Most families also grow
some herbs and vegetables around the house, but what they need to buy -
and money there isn't - is flour. One 50 kilo sack costs 75 NIS
(approximately US$17).
It is the kind of help UNWRA is providing in Refugee Camps. Now the need
is far more wide-spread. Israeli groups and individuals have been involved in
bringing food, especially to cut-off villages, ever since the beginning of the
Intifada. Gush Shalom has several times sponsored the initiatives of
Ta'ayush. Now we decided to "adopt" ourselves this one village - to begin
with. If you help us, we can do more.
If you are willing to participate please inform us, so that we can help
immediately, that you are sending a donation for:
1 sack - 75 NIS / US$20 (including $3 foreign currency fees)
2 sacks 150 NIS / US$37
3 sacks 225 NIS / US$51
etc.
Please, send your check (earmarked for ..x sack of flour) to:
Gush Shalom
pob 3322
Tel-Aviv 61033
Israel
NB: if you want a confirmation of receipt include your email address with the
check.
For people abroad:
You may ask us whether there is a charity in your country through which
you can send us tax-deductible donations, but please announce us already
which some to expect.
