Palestinians and Jews collect aid together for Gaza

'We're making a statement, Jews and Palestinians together: you shall not starve,' Standing Together Co-Director Alon-Lee says as volunteers sort through hundreds of aid donations for Gaza. The collection in Umm Al-Fahm is one of dozens taking place in Palestinian communities in Israel, and they are expecting to fill 4 times as many trucks as initially planned.

Standing Together is partnering with another organisation that already has clearance to cross into Gaza and so they're confident the aid will reach those who really need it. Alon-Lee and his comrades have also tried to respond to the increasing hostility of far-right settlers towards Palestinians by protecting aid trucks, stopping incursions at Al-Aqsa and protecting the mosque-goers during Israeli national events.
