WEST Belfast Celtic Supporters' Club Éire Go Brách have donated £2,500 to help with aid for Palestinians thanks to the generosity of supporters.
Over the course of just a few days, more than 2,329 Palestinians have been killed, including at least 724 children in the latest siege from Israel.
Hospitals, mosques, water sources and residential buildings are being struck without warning, wiping out entire neighbourhoods. Those who escape seek shelter in schools, but the schools have also been targeted.
In an appeal from Medical Aid for Palestine (MAP), the organisation is appealing for donations to help provide food, hygiene kits, medicine and fuel for hospitals and ambulances. After seeing the appeal, Éire Go Brách CSC ran a competition, giving away two tickets and travel for Celtic v Rangers on December 30.
As children of Gaza are slaughtered we appeal once again.
