With the gravity of the destruction of infrastructure and land, the insufficient amount of food entering Gaza's borders and the great need of medical aid, Gazans are facing a great crisis. The United Nations (UN), the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), the Swiss government, and other independent parties have called the situation in Gaza a humanitarian crisis and have urged for the help of the international community in ending the atrocities and providing aid. The UN reported that some 1,300 Palestinians were killed and more than 5,300 others were injured during the recent attacks. Gazans are struggling for basic essentials such as water, according to various sources including the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). Additionally, CNN reported that over 22,000 buildings and 80% of crops in Gaza were destroyed. This leaves Gazans with no self-sufficient ways of feeding themselves.

UAS and ISG along with 35 co-sponsoring student organizations in the Gaza coalition have come together to put on a night of entertainment to raise money for the many men, women and children of Gaza who are still in great need of surgery, food, water, and other life essentials.

This is your chance to help those in need, so join us for a night of comedy, music, spoken word and dance!
