Right now, people are living through unimaginable suffering and terror. Our partners remain on the front line of a relentless humanitarian crisis, supporting communities affected in Gaza and Lebanon.
To support them, All We Can – a Methodist relief and development charity supporting local organisations worldwide with flexible funding, humanitarian assistance, and long-term community-led change – is relaunching its appeal with the Methodist Church in Britain and the United Reformed Church, and will continue to raise money for partners who are delivering life-transforming, essential work.
Our original appeal, launched in November 2024, was to help meet the humanitarian need resulting from the crisis in Gaza and Lebanon specifically. However, the scope of work of our partners has increased, and we want to remain flexible to support their work in the most efficient way possible. This includes supporting Palestinians increasingly targeted by Israeli settler violence in the West Bank.
Christian Palestinians are telling us through Kairos Palestine II that: “We live now in a time of genocide, ethnic cleansing and forced displacement unfolding before the eyes of the world. This moment, a moment of truth — demands from us a new stand unlike any before it. While people of the world have stood in solidarity with us, the genocidal war has laid bare the hypocrisy of the Western world, its hollow values and its empty boasts of commitment to human rights and international law.” We heed their call.
The Israeli military has been accused of the crime of genocide, starvation, extermination and of crimes against humanity. There is an active investigation at the International Court of Justice into the Crime of Genocide, bought by South Africa against Israel.
We are asking you to show your solidarity with those in the Middle East through giving, praying and campaigning.
