With <3 to Palestine responds to the imperative of protecting Universal Human Rights and, in line with the United Nations (UN) recommendations, calls for an immediate and permanent ceasefire and humanitarian assistance to the population of the Gaza Strip. The fundraiser With <3 to Palestine is Portugal-based and organized by an informal collective of artists and arts professionals. It is open to the participation of artists from all around the world.
The non-governmental organization was chosen after researching how humanitarian aid is provided to the Palestinian population, with MECA standing out for its continuous efforts in the territory, particularly in the areas of education and health. The NGO dedicates a significant part of its work to children and youth in the Gaza Strip, promoting scholarships, educational projects, and training in schools, libraries, and clinics. In the current crisis context, MECA provides emergency support, and the raised donations will help reinforce the supply of food and clean water, provide medical and psychological support, and address other urgent needs of the population.
