In the Occupied Territories, over 40% of the Palestinian population are classified as poor, whilst 16% cannot afford the minimum required calorie intake. 15% of the population are malnourished: a rate that is rapidly increasing.(World Bank Report, April 2009).
With unemployment rates chronically high, and freedom of movement severely restricted for most Palestinians, the opportunity to meet the minimal needs for survival are severely compromised.
Last year, through your donations, gifts were distributed to the many needy children and orphans supported through Interpal. You brought smiles to thousands of faces across Gaza, The West Bank and in refugee camps in Jordan and Lebanon. Thousands of families received monthly sponsorship, enabling them to meet their on-going basic needs. |
