Gaza: a new North Star?

As the world’s attention shifts elsewhere, Gaza continues to face devastation, displacement and a humanitarian crisis of staggering proportions. So where has philanthropy been and what happens when the funding world turns away? In this episode of ...and some change, Shafi Musaddique speaks with Hani Almadhoun, founder of Gaza Soup Kitchen, and Naila Farouky, CEO of the Arab Foundations Forum, about the failures of institutional philanthropy, the effects of speaking out for Palestine, and the grassroots networks keeping people alive. From hot meals and clean water to the personal and professional costs of solidarity, Hani and Naila reflect on a sector wrestling with its values, its complicity and its future. As mutual aid fills the gaps left by traditional funders, could Gaza become philanthropy’s north star and a turning point for the sector?
