The Adventist and Development Relief Agency (ADRA) continues to pray for peace and the protection of the millions of people impacted by the ongoing crisis in Gaza. Our hearts go out to those who have lost loved ones and are enduring unimaginable suffering.
In the face of immense complexity, the urgency of humanitarian aid remains unchanged. ADRA is actively collaborating with partners to deliver vital resources and sustenance to those in need, irrespective of age, gender, ethnicity, or religious and political affiliations. Our mission is deeply rooted in principles of justice, compassion, and love, compelling us to aid those facing dire circumstances.
Today, at this challenging time, we are presented with an opportunity to bring meaningful change to thousands of people, both young and old, in Gaza and nearby regions. Please stand with ADRA by supporting this life-saving mission. Together, we possess the capacity to alleviate the suffering in Gaza and other regions around the world facing devastating emergencies.
Your contributions will make a difference. Thank you for your unwavering compassion and swift response to those in need.
