This summer, the Gaza Strip was devastated by bombs and bullets. More than 2,000 people were killed, at least 70 percent of whom were civilians. More than 500 children were killed. Thousands of others were injured, many of them left with permanent disabilities. Half a million people have been left without homes. There is little electricity.
What can we do to help? There will be a fundraiser at Old Brick from 6-8 p.m. Friday. The money will go directly to help the Gazan people. Thanks for your support.
