The Anthropology Graduate Student Union at the University of Toronto is committed to taking tangible actions, to aid those directly affected by the ongoing violence along the Gaza Strip. To that end, the AGSU Executive Committee has organized a community fundraiser to support Doctors Without Borders/Médecins sans frontières, an organization that is actively delivering medical supplies to hospitals and healthcare facilities in Gaza to address the pressing medical needs of the region. Doctors without Borders teams operate in three hospitals and multiple outpatient clinics in Gaza, offering comprehensive care to individuals dealing with burns and trauma. We urge you to contribute what you can to support humanitarian aid for those enduring the consequences of this conflict which you can do so here. While we deeply value and appreciate monetary contributions, we also understand that many graduate students may face financial constraints that prevent them from making such donations. In light of this, we would like to emphasize several ways you can actively support this initiative. These include sharing our fundraiser with a wider audience beyond our community, persistently advocating for peaceful resolutions, and consistently making conscious efforts to educate ourselves about these issues.
In this spirit of commitment, the AGSU executive committee unanimously voted to pledge a donation to Doctors Without Borders/Médecins sans frontières, amounting to $1000.
Thank you for your support!
