Our GEM MENA teams have been working diligently to support civilian families and children inside Gaza. These images showcase a special children’s recreational day and aid distribution organized by GEM & our partners @hcicanada. These children are all orphans from the war.
In the midst of hardship and uncertainty, programs like these bring much more than supplies, they bring hope. For children living through unimaginable circumstances, the chance to play, laugh, and know that people across the world care for them is vital to their spirit and resilience.
Every act of kindness, every shared meal, every joyful moment is a reminder that humanity can shine even in the darkest of times. Together, with our partners and supporters, we will continue to deliver not just aid, but dignity and light to those who need it most.

GEM MENA team, together with the @hcicanada youth ambassador @renadfromgaza, distributed hundreds of hygiene kits to families within the tent villages of Deir al-Balah in Gaza.
The families were extremely grateful for this aid and were truly shocked at the quality of the products. They told us that a lot of these items have not been seen in the markets since before the war.

GEM teams deployed out to another Tekeia (field kitchen) in Gaza to distribute flour and beans.
This kitchen cooks meals for over 2000 people in the surrounding tent community. People very happy to see the team arrive with fresh supply as their store was almost empty.
Samenvatting statistieken
GEM BStrong heeft aanzienlijke hulp geboden aan de volgende 226 steden en dorpen
Fase 1: Hulpverlening bij rampen
Op 6 februari werden Turkije en Syrië in de vroege ochtend getroffen door twee zware aardbevingen, met naschokken die meer dan een week later nog steeds plaatsvinden. Tienduizenden mensen verloren het leven en talloze anderen raakten gewond. Vanaf juni 2023 is bevestigd dat meer dan 8 miljoen huizen en gebouwen zijn getroffen, waardoor honderdduizenden ontheemd zijn geraakt. De aardbeving in Kahramanmaras wordt nu beschouwd als de dodelijkste natuurramp van de afgelopen tien jaar. Omdat GEM voorbereid is op wereldwijde rampen, kon ons team onmiddellijk worden ingezet en nog dezelfde dag ter plaatse zijn.
GEM BStrong had een eerste toezegging van $10.000.000 aan kritieke hulp, die snel toenam tot $20.000.000 zodra we de onmetelijke omvang van de ramp konden zien. We konden onmiddellijk vrachtvliegtuigen inzetten via een partnerschap met de Turkse ambassade in Washington D.C. en het consulaat-generaal in Miami via Turkish Airlines. Deze hulp komt in de vorm van voedsel, hygiëneproducten, beddengoed en tenten, reddingskleding en meer. Als de behoeften groeien en toenemen, zal onze reactie dat ook doen.
Ons hoofdkantoor in Miami, FL, het filiaal in Chico, CA, USA West, en het Europese filiaal in Warschau, Polen, zamelen op dit moment voorraden in voor verzending naar Turkije en Syrië. Alle ingezamelde goederen zullen worden vervoerd naar ons magazijn in Mersin, Turkije, en verdeeld in de meest getroffen gebieden in de aardbevingsgebieden.
Since February, we have distributed tens of thousands of our Family Necessity Kits to affected families in both Turkey and Syria. We have also been able to distribute major quantities of hygiene products, new clothing, new shoes, bedding and home goods. We have reached hundreds of thousands of individuals in 7 provinces, reaching almost 200 cities. Just as we do in our other branches, we have established long-standing infrastructure to be able to sustain both Turkey and Syria for the long term.
