A charity that helps impoverished Palestinian children by providing medical aid
The Palestine Children's Relief Fund is a charity that provides medical assistance for injured Palestinian children.
This most recent assault on Gaza (December 2008-January 2009) left over four hundred Palestianian children dead, and many more injured. An estimated 50,000 Palestinians are homeless as of January 21, 2009. They need help to receive medical aid, food, and clothing.
Palestine Children's Relief Fund
The Palestine Children's Relief Fund makes medical help available to sick and injured children in Palestine and other Middle Eastern countries. The intent is to provide access to specialized surgery. Over 800 children have been treated outside the Middle East since 1991 through the efforts of the Palestine Children's Relief Fund. This is the main organization sending Palestinian children to North American for surgery.
This is a registered non-political, non-profit, 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization established in the USA in 1991. The organization provides plastic and reconstructive surgery, pediatric and adult cardiac surgery, pediatric urology, ophthalmology, vascular surgery, pediatric orthopedic surgery, and occupational therapy, plus other medical aid as needed. The organization also sends medical equipment and supplies to Gaza and the West Bank. They have sent American doctors into the region to train Palestinian surgeons and provide treatment.
At this time the Palestine Children's Relief Fund is locating free medical care for sick and injured children in Palestine, Lebanon, and Iraq. Americans volunteer medical surgical aid, hospital stays, and lodging for families.

Why I created this lens
Like millions of others world-wide, I was deeply grieved and saddened by the suffering of children during the military conflict between Israel and Palestine in January 2009. For days I felt distressed, thinking there was nothing I could do to help.
Then inspiration came to me -- to look for a charity helping those children. I found the Palestine Children's Relief Fund -- which sends doctors to help injured children not only in Palestine, but in Iraq and Lebanon too. It also brings children to the USA for surgery. This charity was exactly what I needed to be able to do my small part to help, even though I'm thousands of miles away.
Thank you, Palestine Children's Relief Fund, and all the doctors, other medical personnel, and hospitals, for helping these precious injured and traumatized children of whatever nationality they may be.

The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine
The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine
Amazon Price: $10.17 (as of 01/03/2010)
In this controversial new book, a prominent Israeli historian at Haifa University revisits the formative period of the State of Israel. Decisively debunking the myth that the Palestinian population left of their own accord during the War of Independence, he offers archival evidence to demonstrate that a central plank in Israel's founding ideology was the forcible removal of the indigenous population. This book is a passionate plea to acknowledge the ethnic cleansing of Palestine in 1948 as the root cause of the ongoing Palestine-Israel conflict.
