Hundreds of Muslim faithful and supporters of the Palestinian cause gathered at Uhuru Park, Nairobi, to raise funds and show solidarity with Palestinians enduring one of the worst humanitarian crises in recent years.
The event was organized by a coalition of community groups and humanitarian organizations. Its goal was to mobilize both financial and moral support for families in Gaza struggling to survive amid conflict, blockades, and damaged infrastructure.
Critical Situation in Gaza
The humanitarian situation in Gaza is dire:
- Widespread hunger affects millions of Palestinians.
- Medical supplies are scarce, leaving hospitals unable to treat casualties properly.
- Clean water, nutritious food, and sanitation are limited.
- Children face rising malnutrition, putting them at extreme risk.
Aid agencies warn of an escalating health crisis, with hospitals lacking essential medicines, surgical tools, and consistent electricity.
Community Solidarity
During the rally, organizers emphasized the importance of supporting Palestinians through donations and awareness. “We are here not just to raise funds but to show that the people of Palestine are not forgotten,” said one speaker.
Volunteers highlighted how every contribution counts, helping provide food, medical care, and hope to those affected by the ongoing conflict.
Global Efforts
The Nairobi rally is part of a wider international effort to respond to the crisis in Gaza. By mobilizing communities and raising awareness, local and global supporters aim to make a tangible impact on the lives of Palestinians in urgent need.
