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 containing the donation form (Requires the Adobe Acrobat reader)




We also actively support the following charities:
