Mennonite Central Committee’s shipment of comforters, hygiene supplies and infant care items is finally on its way to Gaza, after waiting out many delays and surmounting obstacles.
The shipment, which left the MCC East Coast Material Resources Center (MRC) in Ephrata, Pennsylvania, on July 23, has been in the planning stages for several months. It is one of the ways MCC is addressing urgent humanitarian needs in Gaza. The shipment still has a long journey ahead, as it will take several months to arrive in Jordan and then more time until it arrives in Gaza, probably in the winter according to Seth Malone, MCC representative for Jordan, Palestine and Israel. He says he prays that the comforters will bring warmth to families living in tents and bombed out buildings, that parents will have basic clothing for their babies and that hygiene and relief kits will provide some measure of support for families who have lost everything. https://mbherald.com/author/mennonite-central-committee-release/ Mennonite Central Committee – Relief, Development, and Peace in the Name of Christ
