From The Sameer Project:

"GIVE WARMTH TO GAZA" this Winter season...

What is a home? In Gaza it is certainly not defined by a standing structure, by four walls and a roof over ones head, but rather a concept of belonging, of love for ones family both the living and the martyred, a connection to the land, and a relationship forged by shared experiences and suffering through two years of genocide.

The Sameer Project will continue to assist families who want to return home by clearing the streets of rubble, cleaning debris filled structures, renting and fueling heavy machinery and bringing large crews to tend to destroyed neighborhoods. We will pay for transportation, we will support with infrastructure projects like water lines.

But Winter is here, and we need to do more, we need to actually help make homes - we have to provide warmth, comfort, and care to the families that define what “home” actually is. Starting today, November 14, we will add a new initiative to this campaign - “GIVE WARMTH TO GAZA.” The temperatures are dipping, the rainy season has started, the cold winds will move in over the sea, and families are not prepared. We have to protect these families from the elements, not just returning them home but giving them the warmth of care and love and recovery.
