Why It Matters

According to the World Food Programme, food insecurity in Palestine affects 1.3 million people. In the West Bank, the prolonged period of slow economic growth, restrictions on movement, trade, investment and access to land and water resources, together with higher food prices, continue to erode the fragile livelihoods of poor Palestinians. More than 60 percent of the Bedouin and herding communities in Area C of the West Bank are food-insecure.

Supported by:

PaliRoots is a social-cause brand that is inspired by the courage and strength of the Palestinian people. Each product they craft has a story which empowers their community with the goal to provide the world with resources, information, and remembrance for the future generations to come. They donate to various Palestinian charities and are sponsors of this food drive. Learn more today.

Palestine: The West Bank

Marhaba, 

We are delighted to share with you that we are back safe and sound from our trip to Palestine and were successful in facilitating The West Bank project. We spent a total of 5 intense days visiting 3 different Bedouin camp areas in Massafer Yatta, Khan Al Ahmar, and Jabal Al Baba in Hebron and Jericho, respectively. 

With your support, we were able to distribute over 200 food packages and our experience with the villagers was meaningful, engaging, and thought-provoking. 

Thankfully, while in Ramallah, we were able to negotiate better pricing for each package directly through the distributor. We had 20 different products and a total of 47 items. These food packages weighed over 40 kg (88 lbs). With more food these packages are expected to last the families an expected 3 months.  

Here is a look at what each family received:

  • Lentils
  • Cabbage Rice
  • Shaia Abu Eita
  • Abu Eita Spaghetti 
  • Tomato Sauce
  • Sunflower Oil 
  • Homs Alkishih
  • The Cold Bean
  • Helwan Crescent 
  • Sweet Halal
  • Tuna Almarai 
  • Sardinian Sinocrat
  • Flour
  • Caffeine Juice
  • Sweet Corn 
  • Awesome Soup
  • Lipton Tea
  • Cafe Azhiman 
  • Biscuit Pillow
  • Biscuit on Alibaba   

                  We rented a truck for 3 days to transport over 200 boxes to each camp
 .       The strength of this Palestinian Mother is unwavering, over 85 pounds on her head!


We would like to thank our partner PaliRoots for standing by us on this endeavor. Most notably, we would like to extend our appreciation and gratitude to our Zam Zam Community for their continued and unwavering support. We could not have done this without you, Shukran! 


Humbly, 

The Zam Zam Team
