ART FOR THE WOMEN & CHILDREN OF GAZA
Contemporary Artist, Sophie Green, is raising money through the sales of her artwork for the women and children of Gaza.
Money raised in this auction will go towards humanitarian work in Gaza, undertaken by Action Aid UK and their partners, Al-Awda, to provide food, medical supplies and other essential items for civilians in Gaza, particularly women & children.
Is humanitarian aid getting through to Gaza?
Since the ceasefire was announced in January 2025, more aid has been able to reach Gaza. However, aid has been restricted for many months, meaning that people here are still in urgent need of essentials like medicine and food.
ActionAid staff have been procuring relief items including food, non-food essential items, hygiene and dignity kits for women and girls, and getting medical supplies ready to go.
The quantity of relief supplies we are able to distribute - when we can deliver aid safely - will largely depend on the amount of funds we’re able to raise.
Why GAZA?
The attacks committed on Israeli civilians were appalling. They have led to a spiral of violence affecting thousands of civilians across the region.
Even before this latest conflict started, 80% of people living in Gaza relied on international aid following 16 years of blockade. Their coping capacities were stretched to the limit and beyond. Whilst there are humanitarian needs in Israel, our monitoring shows that the government and national and local aid organisations there are able to respond to these needs.
As a result, at this time our immediate focus is on responding to urgent unmet needs in Gaza and other affected parts of the occupied Palestinian territory. We continue to revie
w this as the situation evolves.
