The IAC is donating £10,000 to UNRWA’s Gaza Appeal.

People in Gaza are desperately in need of funds for the very basics – food, medicines and to rebuild their homes.

If you would like to add your donation alongside ours, please click on the Paypal button below and we will send all the monies to UNRWA in one lump sum. Every little helps.
