A statement from the White House was released yesterday reading "Today, we — President Macron of France, Chancellor Scholz of Germany, Prime Minister Meloni of Italy, Prime Minister Sunak of the United Kingdom, and President Biden of the United States — express our steadfast and united support to the State of Israel, and our unequivocal condemnation of Hamas and its appalling acts of terrorism." 

Macaroni Kid NYC Upper East Side stands with Israel during this extremely difficult time. Our hearts and prayers are with everyone affected by this horrific act. 

Please see below a list of organizations offering relief to all those in need and everyone working toward peace: 

ALLMEP (the Alliance for Middle East Peace) is the largest network of Palestinian and Israeli peace builders. Donate here.

The Carter Center has been promoting peace in Israel and Palestine since the 1990s. “Through election observation, conflict resolution, and human rights work in the occupied Palestinian territory, the Carter Center has developed strong relations among key Israeli and Palestinian political leaders, electoral officials, civil society leaders, and human rights practitioners,” the organization says. Donate to the cause here.

The United Nations remains a neutral organization aiming to help broker peace between the two territories. Donate here.

The International Red Cross provides assistance during times of crisis, and has pleaded for an end to the violence between Israel and Palestine. “In our role as a neutral intermediary, we are ready to visit anyone detained so we can check on their well-being and provide news to their loved ones,” the group says. Help here.

Doctors Without Borders provides immediate medical aid during humanitarian emergencies. Help them save lives here.

International Medical Corps works with local health agencies and partners to provide emergency health services, gender-based violence services, and COVID-19 prevention services. Donate here.
