Shared Meals for Gaza Kids: UNITE Chapel Hill

0:00It's April 25, I'm Cory with the story. This is Durham News Today, driven by AI. Tomorrow in Chapel Hill, Jews, Palestinians, Americans, and Israelis are linking up for a day-long fundraiser meal to help thousands of kids in Gaza. Mediterranean deli on Franklin Street is teaming up with Durham's Beth L. Senegal, donating every dime from sales on Tuesday, April 28th. Straight to Gaza Children's Village. This non-profit kicked off last year after founder David Hassan, a Duke neurosurgeon, led medical missions into Gaza Post October 7th attacks. They started with orphans facing starvation and injuries, now serving 18,800 children daily through partnerships like World, Central Kitchen for Hot Meals, Plus Education, Health Care, and Interfaith programs. Kids there live intense amid airstrikes, famine, and disease, but the group bridges divides by working with Israelis and Palestinians despite tough. Logistics and UN registrations needed for access.

1:02Hassan tore to tax sites in Israel too, pushing for understanding on both sides. Critics label him a traitor for collaborating and his family gets threats, yet the Jewish community backs it hard, seeing it as real reconciliation. And rebuilding. Rabbis from Beth L. will draw by one from noon to 2pm, another from 4.30 to 6.30pm to vibe with diners. All this shows how shared meals and aid can spark hope amid chaos. Proving folks right here can push for healing without picking sides.
