[☪️ Ramadan match] I wanted you to be among the first to know, {NAME} >>

Families in Gaza only have faith and each other (if they haven't been separated) to survive. {NAME}, I'm moving this link up top so you don't miss your personalized link to have your gift MATCHED (2X), at this immense time of need for children and families: [( - Madiha ☪️ Ramadan Mubarak, {NAME}. I'm Madiha Raza, and I work on the International Rescue Committee's communications team covering conflict and crisis. For the next month, I will join millions of people around the world in observing Ramadan. In places like Gaza, the situation is terrifyingly bleak. Without food and safe shelters, families – if they haven't been separated – only have their faith and each other to survive. Families have been ripped apart and their homes are in ruins. Children have been injured, orphaned, and traumatized. People - children - are reportedly dying of starvation. I cannot stop thinking about these families. {NAME}, we cannot replace the warm feelings that Ramadan brings for so many. There is loss across Gaza on an unimaginable scale. But we – the International Rescue Committee – and our partners can help provide support on the ground, day in and day out. Because of the immense needs, we are launching a match to your donation today. And I wanted you to be among the first to know: [All donations – starting right now – will be matched, for DOUBLE the impact, during this tremendous hour of need and the holy month of Ramadan. Can we count on you to make your urgently-needed gift today?]( [Here is your personal link to have your gift MATCHED TODAY: ( Families in Gaza can't observe Ramadan like usual.

[{NAME}, you can help families in Gaza and around the world now. >>]( The IRC is working with partners to deliver food, lifesaving medical aid, direct cash assistance, and support to people enduring catastrophic suffering in Gaza. In Gaza, the IRC and Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) have been deploying Emergency Medical Teams to provide emergency and life-saving medical care. Together, IRC and MAP teams – composed of trauma doctors, surgeons, pediatricians, and water and sanitation experts – offer relief support to hospitals and provide lifesaving care to Palestinians. In addition, the IRC has procured/released 47 metric tons of pharmaceuticals and medical supplies. And the IRC is also supporting partners to deliver food and provide critical services in emergency shelters, including health services, cash assistance, and other support for children and caregivers. And that's because of people like you, {NAME}. [Your support during our limited-time match opportunity can help families in Gaza and beyond receive the nourishing food, medical care, and urgent aid needed to survive.]( [Click here to double your gift now >>]( Thank you for your support during this holy month of Ramadan and beyond. ☪️ Ramadan Kareem, Madiha @ IRC Sent from my iPhone The International Rescue Committee | [Rescue.org]( 122 East 42nd Street, New York, New York 10168-1289 USA To ensure future delivery of IRC e-mails, please add our reply address updates@rescue.org to your Address Book.
