British aid worker in Gaza for Christmas says UK donors are giving people ‘hope’ - Largs and Millport Weekly News

An appeal by The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC), a coalition of UK charities, has raised £37.5 million since launching in October to support those affected by the crisis in Gaza, Lebanon and the wider region.

The King and Queen and the Prince and Princess of Wales are among those who have donated.

Rachael Cummings, 51, of DEC member charity Save the Children, is on the ground this Christmas working in “unimaginably tough conditions” and “under bombardment”.
