Each oven is staffed by a baker who skillfully turns dough that the families bring into fresh bread and helps families cook simple meals with the ingredients they have. Support creative local initiatives. Visit our website to learn more at www.mecaforpeace.org

While Israel blocks most aid, we look for creative solutions. With a local partner, we built four community clay ovens in a camp at al-Mawasi.

With famine worsening under the ongoing Israeli siege, families struggle to get any food. With no electricity of cooking gas, cooking what little food is available has become very difficult. MECA works to support families in Gaza however we can.

In the last six weeks we have distributed 9,000 parcels of fresh produce to families in central and southern Gaza. Our latest parcels were 9.5 kg (21 pounds) of tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplant, zucchini, and cabbage.
