"Kenyans like other people from around the world have been responding tonthe plight of the people of Gaza and have in the past raised more than Ksh 50 million to assist in Humanitarian efforts". they said in a joint statement.

In addition more than two million people in Gaza have been displaced by the conflict which has been raging on for the past year.

"The voice for Palestine is working with international recognized agencies to help the people of Gaza receive medical treatment in and outside the enclave, through this initiative we hope to raise at least 500,000 USD towards the Gaza Medical camp", adds the Statement.

Israel attack on Gaza has spread over to Lebanon where it is facing daily attacks which have claimed 1000 lives and led to massive destructions and displacement of thousands of people.

Furthermore, they call upon the Kenyan government to join the global efforts to call for peace and stability in the region and an end to the carnage in Gaza and Lebanon.
