The suffering of the people of Palestine is being graphically
illustrated on our television screens and in our newspapers and we hear daily
examples of the stress, trauma and tragedy that has become the norm for so many
Palestinians. Conscious of the concerns of Arab Banker readers and their
desire to do what they can to help the people of Palestine the Arab Bankers
Association has established the ABA Emergency Palestine Relief Fund. All
monies donated to this fund will be distributed on an equal basis between the
following well-respected UK-registered charities that work in Palestine.
° Action around Bethlehem Children with
Disability
° Foundation for Al-Quds University Medical
School
° Friends of the Spafford Children’s Centre
° Interpal
° Medical Aid for Palestinians
° St John
Opthalmic Hospital
If you would like to donate to this group
of charities please contact the ABA or click here to download a Pdf file
