This page is about emergency relief in the face of the destruction in Gaza from the Israeli onslaught in October 2023.

There are a number of ways you can help. Please read your options below. We recognise some people may wish to channel their help in a variety of ways.

1.Emergency relief fund

As a result of the terrible destruction in Gaza inflicted by the Israel army and air force in October 2023 we have set up an emergency relief fund via Sheffield Palestine Solidarity Campaign.

We are able to send this to Musheir El Farra (pictured above in Gaza), who is a UK citizen and lives in Sheffield but who was in Gaza from before the war started. He has been able to use funds already provided by people in Sheffield in order to co-ordinate relief work – food parcels shelter and clothing – for displaced families.

While he is able to do this we will collect money this way. Please mark your transfer ‘Emergency relief’:

• Account name – Sheffield Palestine Solidarity Campaign
• Account sort code – 05 08 03
• Account number – 21639516

Fund update: you can read reports on how the funds raised have been used here

2. Sheffield Palestine Cultural Exchange (SPaCE)

SPaCE is a Sheffield based charity with the primary aim of improving the health and cultural life of young people in the Occupied Territories which includes Gaza.

Money donated to SpaCE will be gift aided and can be used for longer term rebuilding work, in particular for the Never Stop Dreaming Centre which has sustained so much damage – as you can see from this video.

SPaCE has a Give As You Live fundraising page but you can also give direct via a bank transfer as follows:

• Account name: Sheffield Palestine Cultural Exchange
• Account sort code: 05-08-18
• Account number: 33129312

Please use reference “NSD rebuild”
