Hutt Valley Irish Society - Help Gaza - Irish Concert Fundraiser

Please help me raise vital funds for Médecins Sans Frontières

MSFNZ is so grateful for the generosity shown by the Hutt Valley Irish Society. This comes at a time where the medical humanitarian situation in Gaza is beyond catastrophic. We continue to call for an immediate ceasefire to prevent further civilian deaths and to allow aid workers unrestricted access to provide lifesaving medical care to the two million Gazans who desperately need it today.

MSF delivers medical care based on need alone and operates independently of government, religion or economic influence and irrespective of race, religion or gender.

MSF teams have been working in Palestine since 1989.

In Gaza, hospitals and other health facilities have been constantly under attack, leaving many not functioning. Israel is imposing a siege on Gaza, with no electricity, food, water or medical items available. People are trying to survive in extremely dire circumstances.

In terms of MSF’s work in Gaza, while most of our Palestinian colleagues have moved to the south of the Strip, a handful of our doctors and nurses have chosen to remain in northern Gaza. They continue to offer their support to the wounded, including in some MSF-supported facilities and in collaboration with local healthcare staff. This is also supported by a team of 15 internationally mobile staff.

MSF is calling for an immediate ceasefire to prevent more deaths in Gaza, and to restore and scale up the flow of humanitarian aid. Thousands have been killed and injured.

We are grateful for the support of the NZ community and are thankful for any donations made tonight.
