The hunger crisis in Gaza is now critical.

Children who barely survived months of famine are now being pushed into starvation again. Yet Israel is severely restricting the amount of food allowed into Gaza -- and the Supreme Court announced its intention to ban 37 international aid providers.

Organisations like Doctors Without Borders, Save the Children, and Oxfam will have to stop their work in one month -- drastically reducing humanitarian aid when it is already dangerously low.

As 100,000 children face starvation, farmers and neighbourhood groups in Gaza are racing to fill the gap. They are reviving destroyed farmlands, fixing greenhouses and irrigation lines, and already providing over 6,000 tons of fresh food.

It takes $10 to grow about 25kg (55lbs) of vegetables -- imagine what they could do if thousands of us chipped in!

This is a chance to do more than respond to a catastrophe. It's an opportunity to help families survive and power Avaaz's campaigns against Israel's brutal siege. Please donate what you can now.
