On Friday 20th September, Human Appeal Australia (HAA) in Sydney was pleased to host almost 70 families for a special open day for refugees from Gaza. The Sydney office team with the help of Canterbury-Bankstown Mayor, Bilal Hayek, facilitated this special giveaway in efforts to welcome and further aid refugees who have arrived here from the war-torn Gaza Strip.
The purpose of this initiative was to provide the refugee families with the support they need to settle into their new home in Australia. The families were presented with a number of essential items such as clothes, shoes and hygiene products as well as a range of toys for kids. The day also featured henna and face painting for the kids organised by HAA volunteers along with a sausage sizzle for all attendees.
As HAA is actively responding to the devastating humanitarian crisis in Gaza, our goal is to extend this support on a local scale by assisting refugees in having access to essential aid and services they may require. We are deeply grateful for the initiative’s success and look forward to implementing further projects dedicated to serving this cause.
