The PCRF (Palestine Children's Relief Fund)

With every act of support, we help caregivers, including widowed women caring for orphaned children, meet their children’s needs while coping with their own loss. Together, we can help more families access the food they need. 💙

This October, 92 runners from around the world joined Team Palestine for PCRF in taking on the 48th Bank of America Chicago Marathon, raising over $200K to support PCRF's Gaza Orphans Sponsorship Program. A heartfelt thank you to @PCRF_Chicago , @TP4PCRF , and everyone who made this year's event so meaningful. Your dedication and generosity reflect a shared commitment to the children of Palestine. For more than 15 consecutive years, Team Palestine has turned miles into meaningful support, raising funds and awareness for Palestinian children through PCRF. This year's event was another powerful reminder of what grassroots action can achieve when a community comes together with a shared purpose. Every contribution helps PCRF provide children with essential medical care, giving them more opportunities to heal, grow, and hope towards a brighter future. We look forward to coming together again next year for the children of Palestine, because Every Mile Saves A Child 💙🏃🏃🏼‍♀️

Every month, families caring for orphans in Gaza receive food support, and for many, it is a lifeline. These parcels mean much more than mere supplies. They are a message to these children and their families that are facing extreme hardship; “you’re not alone.” Needs remain great, and consistent support makes all the difference. Thank you for standing with these families, month after month.💙

Thousands of people gathered yesterday at Dublin’s 3Arena, united in solidarity with Palestinian children and families.

Thank you, Macklemore, and every artist and supporter who made this night possible. Dublin, thank you for showing up. See you in Paris and London! 💙

Meet Tuqa and Eva 💙 Two brave girls facing cancer, each with her own way of expressing herself. Eva gradually found the confidence to open up, while Tuqa turned to her love of drawing to explore her feelings through colors and creativity. “Sometimes, art, play, music, and a safe space can do what words cannot. They open the door to connection and expression,” says Samah, who supports children through the challenges of treatment. Because care goes beyond treatment. Every child deserves space to create, grow, and feel supported. Thank you to our dedicated social workers, department staff, and supporters like you for keeping this care going. 💙

Thank you for making this care possible.✨

We’re grateful to be helping little Adam move with greater strength and comfort. 💙 With your support, we can reach more children like Adam and help them receive the care they need when they need it most. Together, we help children move forward, one step at a time.✨

Four Hours of Surgery. New Hope for Othman and His Brother. Four-year-old Othman was born with a rare and complex urological condition. His planned surgery was delayed by the war, leaving him without access to the specialized care he needed. During PCRF’s Gaza EMT Mission #31, from August 24 to September 9, 2026, pediatric surgeon Dr. Mohamed Hamed successfully performed one of the mission’s most complex procedures: a four-hour surgery at Al-Shifa Hospital. Othman’s brother also underwent surgery during the mission, bringing renewed hope for a healthier childhood to both brothers. Joined by Dr. Khaled Salah, Pediatric Surgery, and Dr. Hassan Abdelmaksoud, Anesthesia, the team conducted 173 screenings, 70 surgeries, and 105 pain-management interventions at Al-Shifa and Nasser hospitals.

For Gaza’s children, the trauma does not end when the immediate danger passes. After years of fear, displacement, loss, injury and uncertainty, children are living with the psychological impact of a crisis that continues to shape their daily lives. On #WorldMentalHealthDay, we recognize the extraordinary work of PCRF’s mental health teams in Gaza, who continue to stand beside children and families — providing psychological support, safe spaces, and care designed to help children cope, recover and reconnect with a sense of safety and hope. Mental health care is not secondary to recovery. It is an essential part of helping Gaza’s children heal. Your support helps us continue this critical work.
