Our new IDP camp
14.4.2024
Dear contributors and supporters,
We are happy to share with you the news: With the generous support of more than 250 donors worldwide, we have finished the construction of a new IDP camp in Al Mawasi (Khan Younis), designed to give shelter to 100 families consisting mostly of women, children, and disabled persons.
The camp is named Zomi Shelter Centre as a tribute to Lalzawmi (Zomi) Frankcom, a World Central Kitchen aid worker who was killed in Gaza on April 1st, together with six other colleagues from WCK, by an Israeli military airstrike.
The camp consists of 100 tents for families, and in the past week already 50 families have moved in. At the moment, we have constructed 16 toilets and 8 showers, and there are more to come. There is also a facility for medical aid, a community kitchen, and a designated structure that will serve as a “school” for the children of the camp; we are working in parallel to other humanitarian organizations that offer food, medical aid and education within the structures we have provided.
We welcome you to take part in our effort and to donate for our cause. In the photos below, you can see the construction process of Zomi Shelter Centre.
