Albany Water Truck for Gaza
Many people feel helpless seeing the suffering in Gaza. We live so far away—how can we possibly help?
This campaign is for our town to do something real and immediate: raise the funds to provide two truckloads of desalinated drinking water to a displacement camp in the north of Gaza.
In Gaza, much of the available water is brackish, with a high salt content that can cause kidney disease and kidney failure. Dirty water also spreads waterborne diseases and parasites, which are especially dangerous for children and the elderly. With fuel restrictions and damaged infrastructure, clean water is scarce and expensive. Many families walk for kilometres and wait for hours just to fill a few containers—sometimes returning home with less than they need for the day.
For $850 AUD, we can send a 4,000-litre truck directly into a camp where hundreds of families are living in tents with no reliable access to clean water. The truck will be organised and documented by a trusted volunteer on the ground, ensuring the water reaches those who need it most.
This is a chance for Albany to stand together, send a message of care, and directly meet one of the most urgent needs in Gaza right now.
Every dollar goes straight to funding the water. Together, we can make a difference.
