Here’s how Pakistanis can help and donate to the Palestinian cause

As Israel intensifies its offensive over Gaza, indiscriminately destroying buildings including a 12-storey structure that housed the Associated Press and Al Jazeera, and leaving hundreds dead, Palestinian families are left buried under tragedy.

Over the course of the week, Israeli airstrikes have killed close to 200 Palestinians and injured more than 1,200 others, the Palestinian Health Ministry has reported. This unimaginable violence has left hospitals and emergency services reeling under the pressure of the increased need for immediate aid.

While social media can make a difference by amplifying important, credible voices, you can also make a tangible change on the ground by extending monetary and material help to Palestinians. ARY News reached out to several organizations to verify their credibility and is working to compile a list of verified sources to help Palestine.

Here are some credible organizations to reach out to, compiled with the help of the Pakistan for Palestine initiative on Instagram.
