2025 Supported Org: Middle East Children’s Alliance (MECA)

The official death toll in Gaza, since the start of the war in October 2023, is nearly 47,000 people, including about 18,000 children -- and most experts and analysts believe the true number of deaths if significantly higher. Those that remain are facing unimaginable challenges: they lack food, water, and many of the other basic supplies for survival. Many of them are severely injured or ill. Although the recent ceasefire deal seems likely to open the way for a significant increase in civilian aid, Palestinians in Gaza are still in acute need of support.

The Middle East Children’s Alliance (MECA) has worked for over 30 years to protect the rights and improve the lives of children in the Middle East through aid, empowerment and education. Since October of 2023 they have mobilized their existing grassroots network to deliver supplies, drinking water, and hot meals to families in Gaza, as well as to provide emotional and psychological support to children there. Based in Berkeley, California, MECA operates both in the Middle East to provide direct humanitarian aid and services, and in the US and internationally to raise awareness about the lives of children in the region and encourages meaningful action.

MECA’s work in the Middle East includes:

Direct aid including food, medicine, medical supplies, and clothes as well as books, toys and school supplies. Since 1988, they have sent more than $31 million in aid to children in Palestine, Iraq and Lebanon

Financial support and professional assistance to community organizations in the West Bank and Gaza that help meet Palestinian children’s needs, including clinics, kindergartens, counseling centers, libraries; accessible parks and playgrounds; sports teams, and dance, music and art programs

University scholarships for Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank

ECHOES OF UPRISING

Di fronte a ciò che succede ogni giorno in Palestina, abbiamo deciso ancora una volta di non voltarci dall'altra parte.

Pensiamo che ogni piccolo gesto valga e abbia una sua valenza all'interno di un contesto internazionale di soliderietà che parta, come in questo caso, dal basso, dalla gente.

Abbiamo coinvolto alcuni dei migliori fotografi della scena underground italiana per creare "Echoes Of Uprising", una fanzine di 15 pagine stampata su carta riciclata il cui ricavato verrà donato a MECA - Middle East Children's Alliance, organizzazione no profit che fornisce aiuti umanitari alla popolazione palestinese.

ECHOES OF UPRISING

Being faced with what happens every day in Palestine, we decided once again not to turn a blind eye.

We believe that every small gesture is worthy inside an international context of solidarity that begins, like in this case, from the bottom, from the people.

We involved some of the best photographers of the italian underground scene to create "Echoes of Uprising", a 15-pages fanzine printed on recycles paper, the proceeds of which will be donated to MECA - Middle East Children's Alliance, a no profit organisation that provides humanitarian aid to the Palestinian population.

2024 Supported Org: Middle East Children's Alliance (MECA)

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza reached a boiling point this past October, and continues to take a toll on civilian lives - many of them children. But families and children in Gaza and throughout the Middle East have been living in unsafe and impoverished conditions for decades. In areas lacking basic infrastructure to support healthy communities, conflict at any scale has an outsized impact.

Based in Berkeley, California, MECA operates both in the Middle East to provide direct humanitarian aid and services, and in the US and internationally to raise awareness about the lives of children in the region and encourages meaningful action.

Las tres grandes religiones monoteístas celebran sus fiestas mayores este mes

🇪🇸 En diciembre, las tres grandes religiones monoteístas —cristianismo, judaísmo e Islam— coinciden en celebrar sus principales festividades. La Navidad para los cristianos se celebra principalmente el 24 de diciembre, con la tradicional Misa del Gallo en Belén, lugar del nacimiento de Jesús. Sin embargo, la fecha varía según las ramas del cristianismo: para la Iglesia Greco-Ortodoxa, la Navidad será el 6 y 7 de enero, mientras que para los cristianos armenios, se celebra entre el 18 y 19 de enero. Esta festividad coincide este año con Janucá, la fiesta judía que comienza el 26 de diciembre y termina el 2 de enero. Los judíos celebran la purificación del Templo de Jerusalén en el 165 a.C., recordando el "milagro de Janucá", cuando una pequeña cantidad de aceite duró ocho días. Los musulmanes, por su parte, celebran el Id El Adja o Fiesta del Sacrificio entre el 16 y 19 de enero. Esta fiesta conmemora el sacrificio de un cordero que Abraham iba a ofrecer, pero fue reemplazado por el sacrificio de su hijo Ismael. Además, durante este mes, los musulmanes realizan la peregrinación obligatoria a La Meca (Hash), uno de los pilares del Islam.

🇺🇸 In December, the three major monotheistic religions —Christianity, Judaism, and Islam— celebrate their major holidays. Christmas for Christians is primarily celebrated on December 24, with the traditional Midnight Mass in Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus. However, the date varies according to Christian denominations: for the Greek Orthodox Church, Christmas falls on January 6 and 7, while Armenian Christians celebrate it on January 18 and 19. This year, Christmas coincides with Hanukkah, the Jewish festival starting on December 26 and ending on January 2. Jews commemorate the purification of the Temple of Jerusalem in 165 B.C., remembering the "miracle of Hanukkah," when a small amount of oil lasted for eight days. Muslims, on the other hand, celebrate the Id El Adha or Festival of Sacrifice between January 16 and 19. This holiday commemorates the sacrifice of a ram that Abraham was supposed to offer, but was replaced by the sacrifice of his son Ishmael. During this month, Muslims also perform the mandatory pilgrimage to Mecca (Hajj), one of the pillars of Islam.
