We're so proud to share this clip featuring our Palestinian-made 3D external fixator – a powerful example of technological emancipation under blockade.

This project builds on groundbreaking work done by Imperial College London's Centre for Injury Studies, and exists because of Palestinian ingenuity and solidarity. We express deep gratitude to everyone who brought this project to life.

At least 88% of Gaza’s water infrastructure has been destroyed by the Israeli army over the past two years, forcing roughly half of the population to survive on less than 1.6 gallons of water per day. That is less than 6 liters of water for all daily needs including for drinking, cooking, cleaning, and personal hygiene. (The average North American toilet uses the exact same amount, 1.6 gallons per flush!) 

In partnership with A Ripple and Humanity Above All, we’re raising awareness we’re drilling a well and securing a distribution point with cisterns that can hold and deliver water. In total, $16,000 USD will make this well operational, which is more sustainable and lasting than other forms of water aid, such as water trucks.

Giving Tuesday | Stand With Gaza’s Medical Community

Today, we’re asking you to take action.

For over 12 years, Glia has practiced medical solidarity — working hand-in-hand with Palestinian physicians and engineers to build the lifesaving tools Gaza is systematically denied.

We support Palestinian-led, made-in-Gaza innovation, ensuring healthcare workers can control, repair, and own the technology they rely on.

We send physicians to join frontline response teams, sharing expertise and providing critical care when hospitals are overwhelmed.

And we advocate for health & freedom — for an end to genocide, for care without siege, and for Palestinian sovereignty over their medical knowledge.

This Giving Tuesday:
✔️ Stand with frontline physicians
✔️ Protect medical knowledge
✔️ Invest in Gaza’s future

Make a one-time gift or become a monthly supporter — every contribution strengthens long-term medical resilience in Gaza.

In the midst of a military siege and ongoing genocide, Palestinian doctors and engineers have built the first-ever 3D-printed external fixator entirely inside Gaza, using recycled materials and solar power.

This device, now saving lives and preventing amputations, is a testament to resilience, ingenuity, and medical sovereignty under blockade.

This week, Palestinian hostages released back to Gaza shared harrowing accounts of their time in Israeli detention. Many returned emaciated, covered in scabies, and learned only upon release that their entire families had been killed.

Moureen Kaki, Glia’s Head of Mission, was at Nasser Hospital to help receive them. Here, she tells NBC about the physical and emotional toll of captivity that she witnessed firsthand.

In addition to medical and psychological care, these survivors need accountability.

Ceasefire now, and liberation forever.

Today, Palestinian hostages released from Israeli prisons arrived at Nasser Hospital in Gaza, Palestine, where our team was present to receive and assess them. We continue our work with solidarity and care, standing alongside the Palestinian community as it rebuilds after Israel's brutal genocide.

The days of Dhul Hijjah are fast approaching. This is a sacred time of devotion, mercy, and giving in Islam. Muslims worldwide devote these days to prayer and fasting and draw closer to one another through acts of kindness. In a world so deeply in need of solidarity, these are days when giving knows no boundaries.

Families in Gaza are enduring unimaginable hardship. Hospitals are overwhelmed, supplies are scarce, and lives hang in the balance. In these blessed days, our collective support is their lifeline. Make your charity a source of healing and ongoing reward.
