The Hill Times
“Every night we wait for death.” Hind, the co-founder of Project Seed, a women’s rights organization that has worked for more than 20 years in eastern Gaza, told me that for Palestinians in Gaza, each day and each night is uncertain. The ongoing war has directly killed at least 186,000 people between October 2023 and July 2024—the majority of whom are women, children, and the elderly—and displaced more than 2.2 million people.
Project Seed also highlights the importance of cash assistance programming, particularly during times of crisis. The all-female, seven-member Project Seed staff team deliver aid and cash directly to tents where displaced families are trying to survive. They travel by foot because of destroyed roads and fuel shortages, against the backdrop of whizzing drones, and under threat of constant bombardment. Aid parcels donated through large international NGOs are not enough to sustain families.
