Distribute Aid can deliver humanitarian aid into Gaza, the West Bank, Jordan, and Lebanon. We are supporting frontline medical aid organizations like ANERA, to help scale their capacity, share their needs, source priority aid, and deliver humanitarian solutions to civilians in Gaza. Our regional approach to this crisis maximizes the opportunity for international organizations and passionate individuals to help, and ensures that Palestinians outside of Gaza still receive the support they need. Once we begin providing support we never stop, so the benefits of our work will be felt for years to come.
A key part of our response is expanding the capacity of our frontline partners via outreach, coordination, and knowledge sharing. We are activating our networks across Europe and the US, working with medical & logistics experts to document key requirements, and convening a monthly coordination group to help each participant move solutions from "possible" to "delivered". We will ship some aid directly ourselves, but it is more important for us to help many organizations ship a lot of aid overall!
Now we need your help - your donations will be doubled!
We have a proven supply chain and a growing coordination group. Now we need to surge our efforts to solve critical short-term problems and prepare our long-term response. Distribute Aid is a volunteer-run organization that makes an outsized impact, so a little support goes a long way. Here's how we multiply your impact:
- Every $50 donated lets us source and deliver $1,000 worth of aid!
- Our long-time supporters will match the first $12,500 raised by this campaign.
- We leverage our close relationships with logistics companies to regularly secure donated shipping for our partners, saving them up to $20,000 per aid shipment.
Why Distribute Aid?
We have the partnerships and experience to take on this response and deliver impactful humanitarian solutions:
- We've already started activating our aid donor networks across the US & Europe, and our experience running monthly aid shipments to Ukraine has taught us a lot about safely shipping aid into warzones.
- Our existing relationships and shipping experience in the region helps us get a jump start. We run regular aid shipments to support our local grassroots partners helping refugees in the Bekka Valley. We have also previously worked with ANERA, helping Thaki deliver laptops to them in Lebanon, and sending 1,400,000 masks in early 2022 right before the Omicron strain of COVID.
- Distribute Aid regularly overcomes "impossible" logistics challenges that governments and billion-dollar corporations can't solve. For example, our team solved Brexit for humanitarian aid in 2021.
- We have expert advisors supporting our response, who have experience providing medical relief in wartime environments (Ukraine, Afghanistan) and apartheid environments (South Africa)
Donate today to save lives in Gaza!
By building a stable and reliable supply chain that connects the world to Gaza, Distribute Aid will ensure aid gets delivered and distributed to displaced Palestinians. Our work prioritizes surging short-term relief to Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, while preparing us to continue a long-term response in the post-conflict period. Our regional approach means that there are opportunities for many more organizations to respond, and ensures Palestinians in the West Bank, Jordan, and Lebanon aren't forgotten about.
Your contribution today will materially support Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank, Jordan, and Lebanon. Supply chains are measured in $ spent, kilometers traveled, and tons moved. Getting humanitarian aid to the frontlines is measured in lives saved. Please give generously.
