Assisting Food Insecure Families in Gaza (video)

Food security is a major challenge in Gaza. According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, 44% of Gazans are food insecure. In partnership with with Mercy Corps and Catholic Relief Services, Global Communities is implementing the Palestinian Community Assistance Program (PCAP) with funding from USAID. 
The overall goal of PCAP is to support economic recovery and development in Gaza through the creation of income generation and business development opportunities. The agricultural component aims to help vulnerable households by providing urban garden and animal husbandry kits along with technical training and support to help these families become more food self-sufficient.
The short video below shows how these garden and animal husbandry kits are improving the lives of vulnerable families by improving their food security. These kits along with technical training from Global Communities has enabled them to prodcue food for thier own consumption as well as for sale to other families.
